Exploring severe weather environments using CM1 simulations: The 29 August 2020 event in the Balearic Islands

•The severe convective environment on 29 August 2020 was well captured by GFS forecasts•CAPE, SRH, and EHI lack specificity regarding supercell likelihood, path, or severity•A CM1-based strategy can provide useful details about possible convective structures•The CM1 method offers valuable insights on convective structure location and severity
