Small CAPE/large shear setups

In the spring we are dealing with a lot of situations where there is weak or marginal cape and large deep layer and low level shear. These situations can sometimes produce strong tornadic supercells providing large storm relative helicity values. I've stumbled across this interesting point made by Jon Davies on his blog. You can read it HERE.

Similar conditions are currently in southern Poland, Slovakia and further to the south-east. No reports yet. Strong SREH3 is forecast tommorow in the same area with marginal CAPE. Tornadoes are possible.
