TXT3    *** WELCOME TO THE WSFO LOUISVILLE COMMMAND FILE ***
TXT4    *** TO CALCULATE THICKNESS VALUES IN VARIOUS LAYERS ***
TXT6 This file will calculate model forecast thickness values for TXT7 the following layers: 1000-850 mb, 1000-700 mb, 1000-500 mb, TXT8 850-700 mb. In addition, critical thickness values for rain TXT9 versus snow are highlighted. Average layer winds also are
TXTA displayed. Finally, the critical line for all four layers 
TXTB will be displayed on one plan view. Please use this file 
TXTC to help determine precipitation type.
