Yesterday the National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstrom warning for the Antelope Valey capable of producing nickel sized hail, the storm height was 28,000 foot AGL and CAPE at 2000 j/kg at 65 DBZ. Convective available potential energy (CAPE) ,[1] sometimes, simply, available potential energy (APE), is the amount of energy a parcel of air would have if lifted a certain distance vertically through the atmosphere. CAPE is effectively the positive buoyancy of an air parcel and is an indicator of atmospheric instability, which makes it valuable in predicting severe weather.Damaging winds above 70 mph sheared several power poles along 60th Street West above Highway 138 near the Kern/LA County line near Neenach.
