Best source for soundings/hodos?

[Jason Blum]

(I'm new to forecasting, and still have a lot to learn, so please forgive this if it's a dumb question or somehow worded incorrectly...)

I think I understand the basics of reading soundings and hodographs, and I have a couple of sources which I've been using for this information, but I'm wondering where others here get their data from?

I do have Bufkit/Bufget and have been playing around with it a bit. I still need to learn the software just a bit better (such as how to clear out the old data. Any hints?) but it seems great.

I also subscribe to F5 Data, which provides great sounding info. (But no hodos)

Where would you guys recommend get your hodographs? Do you just plot your own, or is there a good site for pre-generated ones?

These links are on my chasedata page. It's an all in one data link page for on the road. CHASEDATA

Many thanks!

I appreciate it.

I am still typing because otherwise I am told, "message too short".

Thank you.

No problem...glad I could help out.

Click on the map and you'll get your sounding and hodo from that location.

Maybe I got spoiled reading Earl's hodos and SkewT's, but TD's S-T's are hard to differentiate and the hodos are too small for my tiny laptop to see properly. It's otherwise replaced Earl's Confusing Pages as my forecasting site, but I still prefer Earl's superior soundings.

Also, Plymouth State College has forecast hodographs too.

Also, I have links to different cities for Earl's Forecast Soundings for the following
states: Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota and parts of Texas

It plainly says so, but for some reason I hadn't realized that you could click on the map on Twisterdata.com, in order to get soundings. Nice.

For some local runs, DTX has their WRF output at a hemispheric resolution. However, as part of the data set, also has hodos and sounding forecasts for a bunch of stations. I use them as a reference and part of my mid-range ensemble.
