Update Time = UTC Time of BLIPSPOT calculation 
FCST PERIOD = Hours from model initialization time
    Temp@2m = Temperature at 2m AGL  [F] 
Sfc.Heating = Surface Heating of atmosphere  [W/m^2] 
   BL Depth = Depth of the Boundary (Mixing) Layer  [ft]
      Hcrit = Height of Critical Updraft Strength  [ftMSL]
     BL Top = Height of Boundary Layer Top (TI=0 height) [ftMSL]
 Hgt.Variab = Thermal Height Variability (difference between TI=+4{F} & TI=0 Heights) [ft]
         W* = Thermal Updraft Velocity (subtract glider sink rate to get vario)  [fpm]
        B/S = Buoyancy/Shear Ratio (thermals may be unworkable if 5 or less)
    BL Wind = Wind Speed averaged through BL [kt]
  Direction = Wind Direction averaged through BL  [degTrue]
Max.Converg = Max. Vertical Velocity created by BL Convergence [x10^-2 kt]
              (note: BLIPMAPs provide better evaluation since convergence lines are usually mobile
CLOUDpotent = Expect clouds at or above sfcLCL if positive (difference between H(TI=0) & sfcLCL)  [ft]
     sfcLCL = Base of Lowest Clouds, if CLOUDpotent>0 (LCL = Lifting Condensation Level based upon sfc. humidity)  [ftMSL]
ODpotential = Expect extensive clouds at blCL if positive (difference between H(TI=0) & blCL)  [ft]
       bLCL = Base of Extensive Clouds, if ODpotential>0 (bl CL = Condensation Level based upon BL humidity)  [ftMSL]
      maxRH = Maximum Relative Humidity in BL  [%]
       CAPE = Convective Available Potential Energy [J/kg]
    Temp@2m = Temperature at 2m AGL  [F] 
   DewPt@2m = Dew Point Temp. at 2m AGL  [F]
   Temp@Bot = Temperature at 16m AGL (bottom of grid) [F]  (intended for DrJack's use)
  DewPt@Bot = Dew Point Temp. at 16m AGL (bottom of grid) [F]  (intended for DrJack's use)
Sfc.Heating = Surface Heating of atmosphere  [W/m^2] 
   BL Depth = Depth of the Boundary (Mixing) Layer  [ft]
 EXPERIMENT = Mystery variable for test purposes  (intended for DrJack's use)
          * = Indicates BL Top (TI=0 Height) on profiles
Note: printed heights are for 21Z - heights for other times differ slightly
Results neglect thermals created by small-scale features not resolved by the smoothed model topography
