CAPE Levels look to be on the low-end except the Southern Half of Texas . . .

No need to focus on cape at this point. Timing and setup on 500mb heights and winds are best for the next week or so.
If you want to preliminarily dig a bit deeper, look for the “ski jump” on 500 mb winds, as Reed Timmer calls it. This refers to the jet streak that wraps around the trough from west, down south, and then out east. Shear profiles would be maximized right at the end of the “jump”, or left-exit region.
Good video if you have the time to spare:

Weather Dude wrote:I kinda feel like if that pattern the last few GFS runs have been showing verifies, there's not going to be a whole lot of widespread severe weather as it seems like those systems are coming through awfully close to each other, which should limit moisture return. However, it could lead to some small-scale events, which can still be potent, as we've already seen a couple of times this year.
Anyway, 2/28 is a day to watch for that first system coming through. SPC has been mentioning that period for the past couple of days so it will be interesting reading their thoughts on it over the next few days. Still nearly a week out, so pretty much anything is possible at this point.
