This is my first post to the forum. I've been reading it for several weeks but just now became a member. I have a question I couldn't find anywhere else. I know for severe weather there is no 1 map or model that will tell you exactly where they will occur but do you guys use one of the indexes more then the other or do you even use them at all? I know there is the Lifted Index, K-index, EHI, Sig Tornado Parameter, Stensrud Tornado Risk, SWEAT index, Showalter index, Total-Totals, Bulk Rich number, Craven Sig severe, and probably many others. I've been practicing some dry runs and it just seems like I'm being overloaded with information and models and was trying to simplify it. I know looking at the moisture, instability, lifting, and shear are all very important and I'm sure there is importance in the other indexes as well I just didn't know if you guys have found one or two to be most accurate or not.
Also I have talked to a couple really experienced chasers in the past, one mentioned ML Cape and the other SB cape. Which CAPE value is best?
Thanks
