Gridded NUCAPS verified well with the SPC Mesoanalysis when comparing mid-level lapse rates:
Steep mid-level lapse rates (>7 C/km) are located near the Kansas/Colorado border on both analysis.
Westerly flow aloft was progged to advect the steeper lapse rates eastward into deeper moisture across western Kansas. This led to explosive development a couple hours later.
