Default High CAPE

Being pretty ignorant and new to all this, does a high CAPE on
theWetterzentrale site definitely point towards severe

thunderstorms
or does it have to be combined with other factors.

What are the opinions for storms in France in the coming week?

I'd be very interested to know where else to look and what else

to
consider.


Hi Iris,
there is some information in the FAQ which should give you some idea
http://www.booty.demon.co.uk/FAQ/2A.htm#2A.23

and a explanation of CAPE values

best regards,
