NUCAPS Plan View 497mb Temperatures - Good Snapshot of Values But Has Several Data Void Areas.

This is a plan view image of the NUCAPS 497mb temperatures, with the cursor readout showing -17.95C values, at 1800 UTC, in the middle of the Memphis CWA. There are several data void areas, so this image may not help to assess all areas for temperatures at this level. However, it does give an idea of the temperatures at this level at 1800 UTC. This could benefit the mesoscale analyst in assessing temperature profiles and the expectation for continued development of showers and a few storms. JJW
