Take a look at the 18z KILX sounding:

Wow, not bad for mid Feburary!
Not bad at all, and it shows that the RUC analysis wasn't handling the instability fields very well... The 18z sounding shows ~1200 j/kg SBCAPE, while the RUC/SPC Mesoanaly had ~250-500 j/kg CAPE at the time, IIRC. Regardless, the 380 m2/s2 0-1km SRH isn't shabby either!
