Actually, applying basic physics with my simple mind says you're correct and that it's definitely not an outlandish idea.
In areas like mine, however, a lot of communities are blocked on a side or more by hills, and any massive storm is simply going to come by surprise almost no matter what. Even with all the tech described, these massive storms wouldn't have blinked. We can't know a ripple in an updraft off an elevation change is going to cause a cloud base to kick off because we can't exactly see that. In theory it works, but its a butterfly effect problem. A pebble in a stream, but its, say, Lake Superior as a stream. We still can't really see the thermal profile on that level in real time on an end-user scale, either I don't believe.
There's nothing big enough when the whole storm essentially becomes a 120 mile per hour hurricane and that is exactly what happened in Bentonville and much of Rogers, along with damage consistent with dual, simultaneous tornadoes, and the largest RFD that I, along with many pros have ever seen.
It makes man feel small, and it should.
In theory, it does work. In practicality, you just have to sit back in awe, be humbled and understand that we are man and we can't change the weather. It is powerful, destructive, beautiful, terryfying and yet amazing.
Sometimes it's the human problem, accepting the things we can't change or control, or controlling the things we can.
The only way we can do that, sometimes, is to understand.
But I know in my heart that it's never good to see people suffer loss and I pray for them, for sure.
I truly do admire the way you think and NEVER discourage that. EVER.
