NUCAPS Sounding for Montana

Looking at the sounding data, the CAPE, K, PW values match pretty well with the SPC mesoscale analysis.   I used the modified soundings.  I prefer to have the noise filtered out, so I waited to look at the most accurate information to analyze.  Boosted my confidence that the storms moving north into my WFO (from the severe t-storm watch area) would hold together.  Maybe need a watch extended into Montana.  But will keep looking at other soundings and will wait a bit to see how the storms act.




Suggestion:  having a quick wind reference in the key levels of atmosphere.  To show if there's a jet...or any turning when looking down from the satellite.
