Spotters have reported tornado on the ground in N OKC heading into Edmund!!
North cam we've been watching has gone black. Metro cam still up.

If you take a second to look at the composite radar image out of KS/OK, notice the overall lack of convection with the exception being the cell in S central KS and the other being our tornado producer threatening the OKC area.
these cells are stronger and more discrete for two reasons:
1) More pronounced CAP over the region is preventing widespread convective initiation, as compared to further north where coverage is MUCH more widespread, and CAP is considerably weaker.
2) these cells are tapping the full magnitude of the available instability (NCAPEs of almost .4 over central KS, which would suggest strong parcel accelerations, and VIGOROUS convective updrafts), vertical shear and SRI (Storm-relative Inflow), thus being stronger, w/ very large Hail, and tornadoes.
Further north all of the aforementioned parameters have to be shared by the rest of the convection since there is little cap in place.
