A surface low pressure center developed northeastward from south central Oklahoma to southwest Missouri. A gradual increase in the warm sector southerly low level jet occurred as the surface low deepened. Increasing vertical wind shear in the moist and unstable warm sector supported the development of short lines of thunderstorms with embedded lewps and supercell structures.
