K-index and Total Totals: isolated band edge · case 02

K = 25 is upgraded to widely scattered storms.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

K = (T850 - T500) + Td850 - (T700 - Td700); VT = T850 - T500; CT = Td850 - T500; TT = VT + CT. Thunderstorm potential from K: <20 none, <=25 isolated, <=30 widely scattered, <=35 scattered, else numerous. Severe flag "severe possible" when TT >= 50 else "weak". Return [K, TT, potential, flag].

Why this case matters

Convective outlooks use K and TT as quick stability screens.
