Adjusted NUCAPS Sounding for far north central MS at 1800 UTC - Helpful with estimating CAPE!

Below is an adjusted NUCAPS sounding from far north central MS at 1800 UTC. After adjusting the low level temperature and dew point temperature profiles, CAPE values aroun 420 J/kg were seen on the NUCAPS sounding. This gave valuable information on the amount of CAPE across the area just ahead of the advancing pre-frontal trough. This would suggest that there is potential for further convective development in this area over the next few hours. JJW
