Some cells are firing up in Missouri and Iowa, but the one in Missouri looks like something to watch.

1st severe t'storm warning of the day in south-central MO
That one has potential and looks to be heading towards or just south of St. Louis, if it holds together
Confirmed tornado on the ground southwest of Aurora Il

The new MD's from SPC are both pretty ominous for Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois
That cell in Missouri looks like an animal

The bounded weak echo region in the storm near Ava is insane. Southern end of town likely obliterated

yea the debris ball was over 1.6 miles wide. This storm is following an eerily similar track to the tri-state tornado of 1925

Hope I am reading this right, but off the CC radar, you can see debris balls, correct? If so, there it is very close to that path you posted, but a few miles north of it.

Yea it is, there was a clear WBER w/ this supercell and debris was being lofted 25-30,000 feet in the air!

The storm in southern Illinois had an incredible TDS a few minutes ago.
