New Experimental Convective Parameters For North Texas!

The National Weather Service in Fort Worth is now offering Experimental Convective Parameters on this website!

The analysis is heavily weighted to the latest surface observation. Thus, you will likely see some small "bulls-eye" type areas where the analysis is reflecting an outlying or possibly incorrect surface observation.

The parameters are generated hourly, with the generation process starting around 22 minutes past the hour. The images should be available by 30 past each hour. It takes some time for hourly surface data to arrive and get processed prior to being able to calculate the various parameters we are offering.

We are currently producing the following images:

  • CAPE  
  • CIN
  • EHI
  • Helicity (0-1km)
  • Helicity (0-3 km)
  • Shear
  • Shear (0-1 km)
  • SigTor
  • Convective Interest
