Severe Weather Threat 4/27-4/28

Ok, I normally dislike watching/listening to the generalized streamers during events, but due to some RL emergency stuff, I'm going to have to be driving on I-90 from southern MN to Dane county, likely somewhere between 14 hours from now to maybe even as late as 23 hours from now. Who should I listen to while driving? Basically, who tends to be the most chill and comprehensive? From what I do know, I'm leaning towards Ryan Hall? I could also do NOAA radio, but that feels more reactive rather proactive/more difficult to follow while driving.

Really hoping that the northern side just doesn't have the juice. Thanks to everyone sharing their thoughts. The forecast discussion from La Crosse agrees with what I've seen here in that the evening will depend on how the morning goes. I'll definitely be checking in here to get some summaries of how the morning stuff plays out since I won't be able to track it myself.
Ryan Hall is my go-to but Max Velocity can be just as good.
 
Thank the lord SPC put North MS back in a Level 2 Slight Risk. About time
 
Fairly strong wording too. Explicitly mentions tornadoes with EF3+ potential and many dangerous supercells.
These supercells will exist in a very favorable environment for
tornadoes through the afternoon and evening, and multiple strong to
intense tornadoes (EF-2/3+) appear likely, especially from parts of
MO into IL along/near the effective front. This strong tornado
threat may also extend farther south into AR/TN, but confidence is
somewhat lower with southward extent due to weaker large-scale
forcing. Large to very large hail (2-3 inches in diameter) may also
occur with any sustained supercells.

"Multiple intense tornados appear likely" yikes!
 
New SPC is much more bullish now. Big TOR driven MDT with them saying multiple EF-3+ tornadoes appear likely. Wowza.

Thank god they actually upgraded it because it was way too conservative before.
That being said, I think the 10%## can be extended south into AR/TN. Similarly volitile environment and discrete convection are also possible down there.
