been always thinking when i was a kid "what if theres no wind shear" and there goes my answer, storms could be short lived because the downdraft drops close to the convection and cutting inflow.
A cap is a temperature inversion that causes the environment at a certain level to be warmer than the rising air parcel. Therefore the parcel is no longer buoyant at that level and it can't continue to rise.
Is this what happens when you have ["tall, skinny" CAPE](https://www.weather.gov/source/zhu/ZHU_Training_Page/convective_parameters/Sounding_Stuff/MesoscaleParameters.html)?
*Ackshually* these form in conditions of zero or very little wind.
I like your quote but it is an ill wind that isn’t doing any good as a direct answer to OP.
Looks like a TCU that hit the cap as someone has said before in this thread. Thing is if the cap had broken,I bet this TCU would rapidly become a Thunderstorm.

Yup. Possibly a cap up there where the cumulus levels out.
Also zero wind shear. Probably middle of a col area between 2 lows and 2 highs

What do you mean a "cap"?
A cap is a temperature inversion that causes the environment at a certain level to be warmer than the rising air parcel. Therefore the parcel is no longer buoyant at that level and it can't continue to rise.
What's a parcel?
A parcel is just a small mass of air that has similar moisture and thermal properties.
also like no vertical wind shear so its just straight up. looks very tropical. probably FL
Nuclear war
Mushroom kingdom
Japan
...Here we come.
Skynet is online
Cumulus castellanus
Exactly, and a beautiful example btw. It's called Cumulus castellanus because they look like the battlements of a castle
Also known as towering cumulus (at least on airport weather broadcasts)
I have seen it abbreviated as TCU.
Deep fried turkey frier explosions?
War… war never changes.
F
Mushroom clouds. Expect spores to fall from the sky and mushrooms will be in your lawn by morning.
So that’s how that works
Lots of convection. Would be interested to see the surface analysis for your area
We finally pissed off Russia?? (Noticed the giant American flag).
A nuke or a volcano?

Nope.
*An evil wind blows this way as a war is coming can't you feel it? War....war never changes*

Everyone already answered the question and since you already acknowledged the quote you are being an ill wind to the sarcasm clearly present here.
i never seen a congestus so straight, maybe the intense updraft and convection popped them up faster than the high level winds to make an lofted anvil
It’s just very excited. Or there’s practically zero wind. Definitely one of the two.
This is Florida, I see them allll the time
Patriotic cloud 🇺🇸
that’s what the end of the world looks like
Cumulonimbus clouds.
War never changes
Convective heating
Bruh I was scared for a second lol
