I definitely agree with Quincy. Low level lapse rates are pretty bad and clouds still lingering over a good portion of the highest risk area. Storms attempting to go up by Bartlesville but they are right on the front. Need some to form ahead of it and interact with an ofb.

Latest risk area was cut back quite a bit in SWMO. Right on cue we are seeing some clearing in far SWMO. If this clearing line can continue to move east/north east, swmo may still have a shot

Sitting in Miami OK right now, ample N/S/E/W road options... might meander down to Vinita soon. 
 

Tons of CAPE and SRH today, but a slight cap probably remains in place and LLVL lapse rates are bleh. Might have a storm go ballistic INVOF the boundary.

6 minutes ago, MUWX said:

The WF continues to push NE, correct? 

right, but the wind field will change completely as that happens.  So that profile has no bearing on the severe threat further south the warm sector.


I could probably find a thousand hodos a season north of WFs with 1000+ J/kg of 0-1 km SRH.

VWP from KINX is less than impressive in the lowest km.  Actually, there is more ESRH for left-movers, which probably explains why the left split moving toward Columbus KS is holding its own.
