K-index and Total Totals: severe threshold · case 03
TT = 50 does not raise the severe flag.
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.
