I intially loaded up the 850mb winds and there wasn't anything in the MPX region. But looking farther to the southwest, there were some derived winds in the lee of the Rockies. Here is an image of the 850mb derived winds:

Derived Winds - Initial Feedback
While getting setup for the MPX CWA, decided to take a look at the GOES-16 derived winds since I didn't get a chance to look at it yesterday.
I intially loaded up the 850mb winds and there wasn't anything in the MPX region. But looking farther to the southwest, there were some derived winds in the lee of the Rockies. Here is an image of the 850mb derived winds:
There was a lot of variety in the speeds and directions (possibly due to limited cloud cover), and opted to overlay RAP data to see how they compared. Overall, not so good:
Notice how the winds in eastern WY varied by 180 degrees (and were around 45-50kts), while the RAP had northwesterly winds around 5-10kts. There were similar values with most 850mb winds, for example the diurnal CU field in Missouri and Arkansas showed wind directions 180 degrees from the RAP values.
