The “Tornado Sniffer” Brad Arnold is still bullish on tor activity this afternoon but he’s definitely targeting MO
Sooooo yes and no. The sun and instability really need to increase to get big supercells going. This first line is not going to be a main issue.
The HRRR (High Resolution Rapid Refresh) is handling it well so far. For reference here is what it was forecasting for 11AM
What Reed is referring to is how it is already getting linear which obviously still can produce severe weather but not the big supercells that they like/want.
Here is 5PM. Notice the gap between the lines and how more cellular that second wave is at this point. This is where things could get interesting.

ah I missed that this was a first round of sorts and the bigger threat was PM. Which makes more sense anyway. So there's time for clearing and heating yet. In addition to the **** already going down.
may be more afraid of the gray hairs calling in ******** about the Price is Right getting pre-empted.
Definitely a debris signature with that tornado. The low levels are hot in central
Iowa anything is possible today.

It's Young and the Restless now. Know your CBS morning lineup!
I almost said "Soaps" instead, it's really been a minute since I've known these things!
The sun coming out here south of Des Moines is a bit ominous knowing what's coming.
I’m in story county thinking there won’t be enough clearing. Looks like it’s coming

Speaking of which … not only am I in a freshly issued tornado watch area (along with the Cedar Rapids NWS radio station being off the air 
), I’m planning on tacos tonight.
Assuming my home isn’t swept away by Tornadogeddon Lollapalooza 24, of course.

Oh man, those are even taco bravos! Now I'm hungry for tacos!
