SPC mesoanalyses substantially underestimated the CAPE and wind shear as well.\u00a0 Tornadogenesis occurred near a weak, frontogenetical thermal boundary, where evaporation from antecedent light showers had also increased dewpoint values.\u00a0 A local maximum in surface dewpoint (and instability), and a local maximum in helicity both existed near the region of frontogenesis.\u00a0 As a QLCS moved into the region of higher CAPE air, part of it became supercellular.\u00a0 Tornadogenesis occurred near the local maximum in surface dewpoint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Full Text: <a href=\"https:\/\/ejssm.org\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vol13-2.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Citation:<br \/>\nColeman, T.
