VERY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE IS BEGINNING TO TAKE SHAPE ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON. 18Z KSGF SOUNDING IS SHOWING A VERY STRONG CAP...BUT THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY BEGINNING TO SURGE NORTHEAST ACROSS OKLAHOMA/KANSAS AND TEXAS WILL BREAK THIS CAP BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. 0-3 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITIES ARE ALREADY NEAR 400 M2/S2...WHICH IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR ROTATING STORMS IN THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE. A VERY STRONG JET STREAK IS NOTED ON SATELLITE ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA WHICH IS ENHANCING LARGE SCALE LIFT ACROSS KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA. SATELLITE IMAGERY IS VERY INTERESTING IN TERMS OF VERTICAL DIFFLUENT FLOW AS INDIVIDUAL CLOUD ELEMENTS ARE RACING NORTH/NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH A STRONG EASTERLY COMPONENT ACROSS EASTERN MISSOURI.
