Looks like three cells have fired southwest of Des Moines, the start of our Iowa/Wisconsin overnight show. Nothing warned yet.

That is a mean, mean hook on the tornado near Oologah.

I think those two may have the most potential of the event. Pretty pristine environment in front of them and nothing of note to slow them down.

I wouldn't call them supercells (storm having a sustained, deep mesocyclone) yet...although they have the potential to become such.

Not quite supercells yet. But given how this event has defied expectations so far? (Unforcasted Strong Tornadoes in Oklahoma, Violent tornado in Michigan, storms somehow returning from looking like crap) it wouldn't shock me. They have the single most substantial potential of the event.

10% tor risk MUCH bigger now with the new Day 1.

It's fascinating (and I have to remain cognizant of this as a chaser, as it can produce hazardous straight-line winds as well as become a focal point for new cycles to spin up along it, as we saw with at least some of the Oklahoma tornadoes yesterday) how far away from the reflectivity "body" and hook of a supercell the RFD boundary can extend.
(Was going to post a GR Level 3 screenshot, but attachments still don't work). The upload progress bar sometimes just sits at 0%, sometimes goes to 100% but then just sits there for a while, then says "A server error occurred. Please try again later."

They've kinda fallen apart. I'm not sure they're going to do much other than a cool lightning show.
These Low level Lapse rates are not looking nearly as strong as they were earlier.

Latest SPC outlook connects the two 10% CIG1s. Night is FAR from over.

6 degrees per km will still do it. It's when it gets near 5.5 and lower that it starts to hurt.
A bit curious about the Nebraska cells but I wouldn't be surprised if the NWS eliminates the northern 10%.
EDIT: Right as I posted this they did trim it down south. but brought the 10 up to Kansas.
DOUBLE EDIT: Also right as I posted this they released an MD saying that they're mostly elevated hailers.
