Decided to through in a pre-enviornment blog about convection over southern West Virginia and far southwestern Virginia. In this case a plume of cirrus/ cirro-stratus is not showing up in the WRF. Normally that would be rather benign.  However in this case that cirrus is blocking just  enough isolation to prevent storm development over both areas which is keeping storms from popping and having the time to hit the equilibrium level.
