NUCAPS data in advance of convective line today. Iberia County METAR station coincides with NUCAPS operational sounding (modified soundings not available today).

As you can see from the plotted NUCAPS sounding below, the surface values are too low. From the METAR in western Iberia County, you can see in the first image the the T/Td values are 81/76. Sounding surface values are 76/70. Other sounding points in the pre-storm environment are also about 5 degrees too low on temp and dew. While I can modify these, it doesn’t give me confidence in an accurate representation of the boundary layer and on any day expected to be busy I’d likely use other products.
