Cody,
For all intensive purposes, Alex no longer exists. It has lost all cyclonic organization over old Mexico. Therefore, there is no enhanced wind or thermodynamic fields for supercellular development. But what will effect OK and much of the Midwest is the moisture that Alex has brought ashore. Hence why our post is directed at the heavy rainfall potential instead of the severe weather threat. Thanks for your question, hope that answer is suffice.

Looking at the forecast SKEW-T diagram for KUIN (Quincy, IL) per the WRF, note the extent of saturation within the column layer, and the indication of a PW value sitting at 5.25 cm. For a refresher on how to discern various features of SKEW-T diagrams, please visit Ryan’s previous entry here. [...]

Quite a day! Interesting seeing some of the post-storm analysis. Looks like we were right when we first noticed those nice sfc winds building in Spencer – even though they took us for a little ride before they properly aligned again!
