x axis - temp scale

First, thanks for the good work, especially on the Java (interactive) Skew T. It's a very useful tool for glider pilots. We use it to plan tasks for contests and record setting flights. There's just one little thing...

The temp scale max's out at about 94 deg F at our altitude (about 2500' MSL). During the summer, highs in the southwest frequently are in the 100's. Phoenix has been as hot as 122 F. The high in Tucson yesterday was 111 deg.

I realize that there is some tradition in how the x axis is set, but it doesn't recognize the reality of the southwest. It's especially significant because this is also our thunderstorm season and it would be nice to be able to use the interactive skew T.

Or, am I missing something?

Thanks.
Alan
