The m shape can work (April 26, 1991, Greenfield, and Winterset) but usually you want more mid and deep layer shear (which isn’t really present here). My rule of thumb is that for the majority of setups you want backed low level winds or impressive speed shear at all levels.

Makes sense with the environment. Good low level instability and humid throughout the atmosphere. Good directional shear as well.
