Anticipating most of the activity, should it develop, to begin in the next couple of hours in the western\/southwestern portion of ABR’s CWA. However, I wanted to take a quick look at PHS to see some of the environmental parameters and how it relates to what’s going on now (and maybe later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Comparing the MUCAPE from SPC’s Mesoanalysis page (RAP) and PHS, it seems like both agree on ~2000 J\/kg nosing into the southwestern portion of ABR’s CWA. This is the area that we are monitoring for initiation over the next couple of hours.<\/p>\n
