Very clear where the main circulation is, even on reflectivity.

Looks as if it's about to wrap up again.

It's almost turned itself into a shelf of rain now, it's sticking out so far.

I have friends in Mahomet and Farmer City, Illinois. Just messaged them to keep a close eye and be ready to take shelter if needed.

The RFD is literally pushing a section of the precip well out ahead of the main segment into a point. Don’t think I’ve seen something exactly like that before.

It's okay to be critical of the SPC without straight up bashing it.

Lets save the insults and just look at the weather please.

It had a notch but now it's gone! Looks like it's gunna try again lol

Seems like there are multiple mesos, maybe 3 or 4 that are fairly persistent.

Looks like the nws is not going to extend the tornado warning.

Any update?

Loosened up a good bit, still SVR-warned, but doesn't look imminently tornadic at this time. Hopefully it stays that way, fingers crossed.

The MCS is starting to loose its tornadic punch. (literally in some cases)
The straight line winds however are going to cause quite a few power outage headaches.
Other than that, this will surely be a memorable day for Illinois as yet another surprise tornado outbreak. I don’t envy the people who work at the office one bit.

So thankful that weakened. One of my friends recently had surgery and wasn't looking forward to having to go to the basement.
