A VIIRS Satellite Pass at 1944Z provided a NUCAPS Profile near some developing storms in Texas. It provided a nice snapshot of the atmosphere in between soundings. The surface temp and dewpoint were modified in the sounding below based on nearby obs. When evaluating these storms with the Prob Severe Model it showed MUCAPE values of around 3800 J/KG. Meanwhile the GOES R Sounder product indicated layer CAPE of around 2700 J/KG in this area. The NUCAP reinforced the higher values. It seems like it would be useful in identifying areas to watch for convective development or monitoring modification of the atmosphere (like a dissipating cap).

Although the lat/lon is shown in the NUCAPS sounding, it would also be useful to have the point plotted on a map within the sounding. For quicker review of nearby soundings it would be nice to just mouse from point to p
