For all those with GR issues using gr2, I switched feeds to this one and it's giving me actual updates:

Yeah pretty much any and all severe weather data sources are kinda getting piled on right now I'd wager

Large tornado on the ground near Crescent. Might be two separate funnels.

2 large mesos with debris on the ground on KFOR.

KWTV has a big multi-vortex tornado of the ground now.

Multi-vortex tornado with no condensation funnel...that's a dangerous mix if there ever was one.

Once South Central Oklahoma fills in...boom. Incredible environment there right now.

That Childress, TX cell from earlier is really starting to get organized again. Looks awful dangerous.

The rotation on the crescent cell is continuing to intensify on radar, especially the northerlies. If this fully condenses and you start getting stronger vorticies this could get really violent. Also, there's still two different circulations.

Agree on the Childress storm but what happens once it crosses into OK into an apparently still moderate-to-strong capped environment?

Twins on KFOR stream

Mark Hill has two on his stream.

Actually, reminds me of el reno with large vorticies under a single gigantic circulation.

Dan Robinson makes a helpful observation re the capping for what was/is progged as the most explosive area for dangerous tornado development (SW OK):
"Special soundings by the NWS and the COD teams are showing a significantly stouter capping inversion below 700mb than forecast, which is quite possibly the biggest enhancing factor development we've seen today. All of the possible failure modes of this event have vanished, and enhancing factors like more clearing (at least filtered sunlight in most areas) and now a stronger cap have really put this event into a top-level setup in terms of the environment."

Is it still looking like the most dangerous storms will be after dark? I can't get any of the sites to open.
