NUCAPS plan view shows warm mid levels

Near the time of the NUCAPS pass, warm mid level temps, above +10C bulged northward from Texas to the eastern two-thirds of OK according to regional RAP analysis.  Plotting of NUCAPS H7 temps revealed the warmest temperatures in the same area, though the warmest temps were a little cooler, 7-8C.  Temperatures were cooler to the east of the state and in the panhandles.
