Storm development requires three key atmospheric ingredients: moisture (measured as precipitable water), lift (a mechanism to force air upward), and wind shear (change in wind speed and direction with height). Even when moisture levels are high (1.5-2 inches of precipitable water), storms won't develop without sufficient lift, which is typically provided by weather fronts. The combination of high CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) and wind shear creates conditions favorable for severe thunderstorms, with higher values indicating greater potential for organized severe weather events.
