........*This parameter only indicates the potential for thunderstorm
formation ............

Sweet! Just what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing that
information. That makes sense now that I look back. I've only had
one flight this year with thunderstorm activity in my area of flight.
Coincidently, that was the only day this year, that I have gone
soaring with a CAPE around 700...thus causing me to land out due to a
thunderstorm over the gliderport that would not let up.
