I learned from watching tornado videos on UA-cam that this is called "the cap is lifting." Apparently there is a blanket of cold air over warm air, and this is usually what keeps thunderclouds from forming. But at times the winds below, known as updrafts, get so strong because it gets so warm on the ground that they break through and that's when the cap of cold air lifts and the clouds explode upward. Hence "the cap is lifting."
It’s actually the opposite - the cap is a layer of relatively warm air that prevents surface air from rising past it. The cap ‘breaks’ when the surface air warms up enough that the warm air above isn’t enough to stop it rising and forming a thunderstorm cloud.
Well, the forecaster was me I guess... This forecaster had watched a similar storm come along almost every day that week. It seemed to coalesce along that mountain range every time. Perhaps because of how the valley is shaped and the prevailing winds. In summary - an educated guess coupled with luck.
Incredible how clear skies can lead to a storm

Very inciteful! Thanks for your interest. I like those tornado videos as well.

It was once a nice blue sunny day and now I just turned to a dark stormy afternoon like that literally just blows my mind 😮😮😮😮😮
Thanks!
Storms come out of nowhere like there's no problem
This time-lapse is so cool. Crazy how many Cumulus Medocris clouds can form into a large Cumulonimbus
Nice dissection of meteorologic bodies. :)

@@ItsamefanofJanet Were you there?
Dayum that’s so cool it’s formed from a small group of clouds to huge giant one
Thanks!
Clouds are beautiful.
I agree!
How does forecasters know that clouds and thunderstorms will form in that place?
Amazing timelapse
