      Hi,
      I am can't find an explanation on the grey bars that are presented on the pressure axis on the vertical sounding graph. I've attached a screengrab of the sounding and circled the bars in question.

      Thank you!

        These grey bars are the levels where the clouds are located.

        The same ones found in Meteograms.

          Thank you for your answer!

          I suspected that would be the case.

          What confuses me is the combination of relatively large differences in T and Td (or relatively low RH) at the forcasted cloud levels.

            Can you show us that?
            A screenshot with "clouds" where the spread T-Td is more than a few degrees.

              @Gkikas-LGPZ He already did. See the skew-T chart he posted.
              This is the same bug I reported two to three years back.
