Soundings.

[JHadorn]

I'm trying to teach myself a few things here and there about forecasting and I'm having a hard time finding Skew-T/sounding data for my area. Anyone have any links they can share?

Can anyone fill in here and tell us what those colored lines represent? There's no chart or color guide on these sounding pages. I seem to remember something from Mike H's Storm Structure 101 DVD about what to look for in a sounding. Thanks. 8)
