PHS SBCAPE Data in NV

Here is what the PHS SBCAPE forecasted for 5/24, 20Z across NV.  (Some of the purple circles within the areas of blue hinted at ongoing convection).  This matches up well compared to the forecasted 20Z SPC Mesoscale Analysis SBCAPE.  How did it verify?

The 20Z SPC Mesoscale Analysis SBCAPE had an area that was 2,000 J/kg.  However, this appeared to be overdone as there  was widespread convection occurring across this area.

Remember, the PHS hinted at ongoing convection in some of these areas.
