I thought this would be a good thread to share forecasting tools. I'll start off with a very cool interactive tool for modifying a sounding. Go to http://tinyurl.com/qf8rose and follow my "quick guide" below:
1) Click "Load Soundings" and a window pops up
2) Enter the 3-letter station identifier
3) Make sure to check "latest"
4) Click the RAOBs button. The sounding will load.
5) Click anywhere to lift a parcel! See the results. Rejoice or curse the cap.
6) Watch the various parameters like CAPE change.

You can also do a "right click" on the SKEW-T itself which pops up a window where you can more precisely enter information AND alter the dewpoint to adjust for expected increase or decrease.
You can also load a forecast sounding from various models and modify as well.
Enjoy!
