[Support #QIA-399358]: Metpy python skew-t

Greetings!

So for more general information on calculations from Univ. of Wyoming, I'd 
recommend looking at their documentation for the indices:

  http://weather.uwyo.edu/upperair/indices.html

Note that for many of Wyoming's calculations, they are using very specific, 
sometimes mixed, layers. To your question from Gitter, CAPEV and CINV are the 
CAPE and CIN, respectively, calculated using the virtual temperature.

What makes you believe the virtual temperature from MetPy isn't correct?
