For kicks though, the below image is the NAM model, which has a weaker solution...


Now... even though this is the weaker solution, it STILL shows heavy rain and thunderstorms. We are only looking at the instability (CAPE) in the above images. Look at the estimated rainfall totals from the HPC:



I apologize for now blogging sooner. I've been busy lately!!!
