Cap Bust??

With 700hPa temperatures in vicinity of the 12C range, the cap over central Iowa is quite strong... And with the ever decreasing convergence along any portion of the state it looks less and less likely that storms will fire before dark. I've decided to slowly work back westward towards home with an eye on the sky/radar if something does try to develop.

For now it appears that the Iowa cap will once again win over another fantastic parameter day in June...

Did manage to meet up with the TWISTEX crew and spend some time chatting with them, and grabbed a few pictures with the TIV2 as they were with the TWISTEX crew today. It was good to see all of them and hope to see you guys again!!
