I know it's a bit early to predict...
Think Monday the 4th August could be an epic day.
Check it out for yourselves...

Certainly by the standards we've had so far this year.
Get dodging and dealing, you want the day off!

This link is most impressive - if only I could understand all the terms.
Just what is: Bouyancy/Shear Ratio? BL? Sfc? .........
Whatever, I like the look of the pastel colours predicted for Monday so I'll take your word for it and clear my diary.

Direction is good, lapse rate is good but me thinks the dew point will be a bit high:

The thermally predictor thinky presumably shows a reading for air whether it is saturated or dry.
