The All-Sky LAP CAPE product is rather useful as a quick and dirty SA tool to quickly identify boundaries and their approximate location/orientation. While the actual CAPE values given are not as important (perhaps better to rely on obs, mesoanalysis, and short-term models for that), the LAP product does very well with identifying the key location of the gradient and subsequent boundary. The boundary location in today’s case is rather obvious, but this product will likely prove useful in more diffuse situations.
