ONE OF THE 8-YR BNA VETERANS SAYS HE DOESN'T THINK HE'S SEEN AN LI  OF

DUTY, SAYS HE ALSO CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN HE HAS SEEN SUCH A LARGE
CAPE ON A BNA SOUNDING.

THE ONLY DECENT WND SHEAR IS IN THE LOWEST 1K FT. THUS, LOOKS LIKE
A HIGH CAPE/LOW SHEAR DAY, WHICH WUD IMPLY LIKELIHOOD OF SVR WX AND
EVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES (ACCORDING TO THE BOOKS).
WHERE'S A CAP WHEN YOU NEED IT!
