What is “the cap?” I am glad that you asked!

Maybe they lived in North Texas for some time, but never understood what the cap is. Or maybe they are new to North Texas and remain completely confused by this term.

The cap is a warm layer of air in the atmosphere over our heads. Usually this layer of air rises in the atmosphere about 2,000 to 5,000 feet.

The reason why we call it a “cap” is that this layer of warm air acts like a lid and prevents storms from being able to form. Imagine it like a pot with boiling water with a lid. If the lid is switched on, it can hardly make a steam from the pot. But if you remove the lid, all of these steamed steam rises very Quick out of the pot. So if there is a cap, it finds thunderstorms difficult to form – because this cap or this lid prevents the air from increasing and therefore not all thunderstorms.

What happens when the cap breaks?

Remember again that the cap is like a lid on a pot with boiling water.

When the cap is not Storms can form freely there, although it is difficult for them to become serious. Days that not Feature A Cap are usually days that have widespread showers and storms, but not much about heavy storms. Are heavy storms possible in these cases? Secure! But they are not that common.

Remember that when a lid is not in the pot and steam and again and again, but remains rather constant in its intensity. Now think about when you had the lid in the pot and then remove it quickly. All of this steam suddenly breaks out of the pot.

The It is very similar to what happens when the cap falls here in North Texas.

In these cases, when a warm, unstable air breaks through the cap under the cap, thunderstorms in the atmosphere form very quickly and can quickly become serious. The energy has brewed under the cap for some time. So if she breaks, thunderstorms can get pretty strong – and that very quickly.

In these cases we usually see the strong storms that we can reach here in North Texas – storms with a very large hail, harmful winds.
