I have only linked this image so l think it will change Sorry I have not had time today and I only have a second or two. But if you glance over to the right hand side of the sounding the LI is - 2.29c and the cape is only 263 j/kg. I calculated the LI and came up with the same. But hopefully I will shortly have that part of the soundings finished and be able to post. This morning sounding from the airport is below and you can see the lack of large amounts of instability and strong inversion.  Sorry to run and not answer everything. The bottom of the BSCH highlights the highest LI’s and Cape on the chart and that could be over the ocean or another area. It does trick you up at first. The soundings is all those charts of LIs, cape, sheer, temp, etc on one page, a slice of the atmosphere of 1000mb to 100 mb. That is a lot of charts plus an enormous amount of additional info such as your TotalTotals, CIN etc. I saw Kens answer earlier and it was smack on. That what happens when you have a Met on board. Cheers and sorry. Got to run again. Have not finished everything today. Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wife home soon too. Hi I4hanish. My real bad, I was in a rush and once again misread the post. It is 10:00 tomorrow, Tuesday, you were talking about and yes, west of Moree has some -5 LIs and some cape and that runs up through central southern QLD. So Moree and surrounds and into St George etc, should get a good chance of a thunderstorm. Although the cape is low I love the TT’s of 57. One of the latest soundings had some nice instability and although weak, the lower level sheer was from the NNE to 800 mb, from the east at 800mb to 500 mb and the upper from the west. Be interesting if it kicks off, to watch the doppler. Sorry about the mix up. One to keep an eye on though. Cheers.
