But........

How do read or interprut the soundings you have been posting. I am guessing that they give some sort of temperature profile of the atmosphere.

If you don't have time to get into it now, I'll revisit with you when things calm down a little.

Appreciate all of your hard work on this one.

The vertical soundings that I've been posting gives us a look at the vertical profiles of the atmosphere ... at all levels ...

Temperatures, Dewpoints at all levels of the atmosphere, and it invaluable, especially determining the precip types during an event such as this one ...

This is also very useful in severe weather situations ... determining shear, CAPE, and potentials for large hail (dependant on the heights of the wet bulb zero temps) ...

Soundings are again an invaluable tool ...
