Wrap up 5/11 PUB, SGF

A bit of a double bust today as convection did not form in Pueblo or Springfield, MO areas today. Also a lot of data issues meant that lots of products were not available for extended amounts of time today. That being said the CI product redeemed itself today and it was the winner of the day as it performed very well in both CWAs and behaved as expected. Also atmospheric motion vectors performed well over the Springfield CWA and showed vertical directional shear just south of the CWA that never made it into the CWA but helped to illustrate where the better environment was. Once data came back in later in the day, we were able to compare LAP CAPE to rap analysis over the SGF cwa and it performed very well and matched up with our thinking very well. With a lack of storms in the area...special attention was paid to a wider angle view of the 1-minute imagery and the various features that it could see. An earlier post highlights the details but many features were discovered that are not usually apparent with the 15 minute imagery.  Finally IASI soundings were very helpful in filling data gaps in the data sparse Pueblo area. The soundings seemed to perform very well in the higher terrain and did not need much modification in the lower levels. Not sure if this was because of the higher elevation or not. Will post that imagery below once again along with some of the highlight shots of the day. -Jason Bourne
