Yellowstone Lake has recently been exhibiting signs of rapid increases of
hydrothermal activity. http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/yvo/monitoring.html According to reports there is a bulge under Yellowstone Lake approx 2100 feet long, 1000 feet wide, and 100 feet high. Scientists believe there is an increased chance of a major hydrothermal explosion. My question for quantitative-minded meteorologists is this: If Yellowstone Lake explodes and leaves a 2500 foot crater, venting the steam and carbon dioxide from under the lake and evaporating some of the lake, will the resulting sudden cloud cause any significant flooding or other weather anomalies? I look forward to the professional opinions based on assumptions of heat energy released into the atmosphere, total volume of water evaporated and then condensed, etc. It would seem to me that a super heated cloud of 100% saturation would quickly condense but also contain enough moisture to continue condensing for hundreds if not thousands of miles.
