20120515 – 2125z update 1st warning of the week

The first warning of the week was issued by the MLB team for a storm just northwest of MLB.  The MRMS and 3dVAR shows some indication of rotation with that storm between 3 and 6 km.

Updraft helicity and merged azimuthal shear layers and units are different.  How does one compare between the two?
