STORMS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS KAY COUNTY ALONG CONVERGENCE AXIS AHEAD OF DRYLINE. ENVIRONMENT AHEAD OF THESE STORMS REMAINS STRONGLY UNSTABLE...AND SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BECOME SURFACE BASED WITH RAPID DEVELOPMENT THEREAFTER. THE FEATURE OF NOTE IS THE CURRENT WIND PROFILES...WHEN COUPLED WITH OBSERVED STORM MOTIONS YIELDS LOW STORM RELATIVE HELICITY VALUES /BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE/. EXPECTED EVOLUTION WOULD BE FOR STORMS TO SHOW TRANSITIONING PHASES BETWEEN ANTI-CYCLONIC AND CYCLONIC UPDRAFTS. THIS TREND APPEARS TO BE SUPPORTED BY KTLX RADAR OF STORMS ADVANCING EASTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. FORECAST WIND FIELDS ARE FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN WHICH WOULD ALLOW MORE TYPICALLY OBSERVED CYCLONIC DOMINATED UPDRAFT STORMS TO EVOLVE. UNTIL THAT TIME HOWEVER SPOTTERS SHOULD REMAIN AWARE OF POTENTIAL STORM TRENDS...WITH ANY DEFINED ANTI-CYCLONIC UPDRAFT COUPLED WITH AVAILABLE INSTABILITY BEING AN EFFICIENT AND POTENTIALLY EXTREME HAIL PRODUCER. && .TSA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
