Thunderstorm "Ingredients" Maps/Models

[BBauer]

After doing forum and google searches I just can't seem to find what I am looking for. All I want are the websites/links to where you guys find the U.S. models where the CAPE values overlay the states. I have been to a site or two that shows the NAM and GFS models but I can't seem to find the CAPE model on them. Do I need to go to the official websites of all the different models or are there sites where it sums up the relevant data for severe weather?

I have been using The Weather Prediction to learn a little about severe weather forecasting but the links they provide for images of CAPE (etc) do not work. I have also looked at chasereducationlinks.blogspot.com which has great info but I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for and I don't have the time to click through all the individual links. I just need to be pointed in the right direction so I can get my feet wet looking at forecasts of CAPE, helicity, EHI, RH/LI plots, hodographs, etc. Thanks a million!

The most user friendly site to get your feet wet in is http://www.twisterdata.com. Probably the most comprehensive one is Earl Barker's site at http://www.wxcaster.com/models_main.htm but it's kind of a bear to navigate. Some people have built web pages just to navigate Earl Barker's site, but I just made bookmarks to specific pages and named them. Another one I use is Unisys' site at http://weather.unisys.com/forehome.php

Good luck and have fun with it.
