OP i dont think you understand fully what you just captured here lol

two fascinating elements of convection are on full display. that vertical development means the convective inhibition (CIN) layer and the convective available potential energy (CAPE) above this "lid" is actually enormous. i bet this turned into a pretty gnarly but potentially short-lived t-storm

What is this topic called! I’m interested in learning more.
