      A high Cape index on a given area not always correspond with the Skew-T diagram on the same location. Shortly, the diagram doesn't show any CAPE's envelop. Have I misunderstood something ?

        The sounding forecast provided by Windy is not a skew-T diagram.
        The temp. axis is perpendicular to pressure levels.

        On skew-T, the temperature lines are skewed at 45°.

            then you can analyze skew-T by yourself
