Supercells have initiated along the cold front in OK, AR, and MO this afternoon and propagated southward ahead of the surging boundary.  Looking at the recent RUC analysis, 0-1 km helicity values are approaching 150 m2/s2 with a 20 knot southwesterly low-level jet.  Given southward storm motions, the storm-relative low-level shear is even higher.  I wish I would have looked at this earlier!!!!!!!   The loop of the Muskogee Co, OK storm including the time it had the tornado on the ground is shown below:
