If the Lifted Index is a large negative number, then the parcel will be much warmer than its surroundings, and will continue to rise. Thunderstorms are fueled by strong rising air, thus the Lifted Index is a good measurement of the atmosphere's potential to produce severe thunderstorms. </p> <p> <!--begin LI table--> <body> <table width="400" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr height="30" bgcolor="#E5E5E5"><!-- Row 1 --> <td colspan="4"><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica" color="#0000FF">The Lifted Index (LI)</td> </tr> <tr height="30"><!-- Row 2 --> <td width="17%" valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>RANGE IN K</center></td> <td bgcolor="#E5E5E5" width="20%" valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>COLOR</center></td> <td width="30%" valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY</center></td> <td widht="33%" valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>THUNDERSTORM PROBABILITY</center></td> </tr> <tr height="25" bgcolor="#E5E5E5"><!-- Row 3 --> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>more than 11</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica" color="#00A1E6"><center>BLUE</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Extremely stable conditions</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Thunderstorms unlikely</center></td> </tr> <tr height="25"><!-- Row 4 --> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>8 to 11</center></td> <td bgcolor="#E5E5E5" valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica" color="#00C7C7"><center>LIGHT BLUE</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Very stable conditions</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Thunderstorms unlikely</center></td> </tr> <tr height="25" bgcolor="#E5E5E5"><!-- Row 5 --> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>4 to 7</center></td> <td bgcolor="#E5E5E5" valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica" color="#00D18C"><center>GREEN</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Stable conditions</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Thunderstorms unlikely</center></td> </tr> <tr height="25"><!-- Row 6 --> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>0 to 3</center></td> <td bgcolor="#E5E5E5"valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica" color="#A1E633"><center>LIGHT GREEN</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Mostly stable conditions</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Thunderstorm unlikely</center></td> </tr> <tr height="25" bgcolor="#E5E5E5"><!-- Row 7 --> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>-3 to -1</center></td> <td bgcolor="#E5E5E5" valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica" color="#E6DC33"><center>YELLOW</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Slightly unstable</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Thunderstorms possible</center></td> </tr> <tr height="25"><!-- Row 8 --> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>-5 to -4</center></td> <td bgcolor="#E5E5E5" valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica" color="#F08229"><center>ORANGE</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Unstable</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Thunderstorms probable</center></td> </tr> <tr height="25" bgcolor="#E5E5E5"><!-- Row 9 --> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>-7 to -6</center></td> <td bgcolor="#E5E5E5" valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica" color="#F00000"><center>RED</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Highly unstable</center></td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Severe thunderstorms possible</center></td> </tr> <tr height="25"><!-- Row 10 --> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>less than -7</td> <td bgcolor="#E5E5E5" valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica" color="#FF00FF"><center>VIOLET</td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Extremely unstable</td> <td valign="top"><font size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica"><center>Violent thunderstorms, tornadoes possible</td> </tr> </table> <!--end LI table--> </p> <!--end info_text LI--> </div> </div> <div class="eI0"> <div class="eI1">GFS:</div> <div class="eI2">The Global Forecast System (<a href="http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/gmb/moorthi/gam.html" target="_blank">GFS</a>) is a global numerical weather prediction computer model run by NOAA.

Elle repose sur le choix d'équations mathématiques offrant une proche approximation du comportement de l'atmosphère réelle. Ces équations sont ensuite résolues, à l'aide d'un ordinateur, pour obtenir une simulation accélérée des états futurs de l'atmosphère. Le logiciel mettant en œuvre cette simulation est appelé un modèle de prévision numérique du temps.<br><br> <br>Prévision numérique du temps. (2009, décembre 12). Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
