All Sky LAP CAPE - Trends

Noticed the trend of AllSkyLAP - CAPE was interesting - and bucked the trend of the GFS background.

2157 UTC:  LAP seemed to have a good handle on higher CAPE trends at this timeframe with over 1000 J/kg in a wide area - which seemed to match convective trends.



2227 UTC:  LAP reduced CAPE over much of the area - even in areas that did not see storms.  Skies were generally were generally partly/mostly cloudy - but the trend appeared to reduce values too quickly.



2258 UTC:  LAP CAPE appeared boost again somewhat - but still less than the GFS CAPE.  These sort of "bouncy" CAPE trends will be examined the remainder of the week - to see if this trend continues.
