    Lifted Index -> Li -> LFTX for Thunderstorm Prediction

    Thanks to Nick for adding the LFTX data just to the right of CAPE in the optimal route output results table in version 10.10.18

    I was recently routing a friend north from Florida to Newport and found it helpful to be looking at both CAPE and LFTX.  I'm curious if anyone has a quick chart guide to CAPE similar to what I've located for LFTX...

    Here is the LFTX (Li) quick reference guide I found recently...  Again...anyone have something similar for CAPE?  Pretty easy to find info on CAPE that says 1000+ is higher likelihood...  looking for something "dumbed down", but a little more refined...  thx-HL

    Thanks Nick and Ernie...  that was more or less what I've been looking at, just wanted to make sure there wasn't something more finite or clear I hadn't found.  Your responses much appreciated.  And thanks Nick for adding LFTX into the optimal run output in 10.10.18 !
