NUCAPS_1727Z

A NUCAPS sounding was available for eastern Wisconsin from the 1727Z pass of JPSS.   This was the western edge of a pass that covered the eastern CONUS. The next scan in an hour should provide better coverage for Wisconsin.

I edited the sounding per the local METAR which was 10 degrees F higher in both temperature and dewpoint.

Since I had to make such a large change in the sfc values, it was hard to edit the sounding appropriately.  I would much rather do a RAP sounding for a local plot than use this NUCAPS. Let see what the NUCAPS looks like with a nadir pass nearer us next hour.
