My guess is the RFD became too cold after the monster tornado. For whatever reason, radar was showing small drops in the RFD which is generally unfavorable for tornadogenesis. Starting to see higher zdr in the area which means larger drops. Might be about to see the Oklahoma supercell get going again.

Certainly looks like it's reorganizing, that supercell in Kansas is pretty impressive as well, Haven't seen any clear CC drop which is good but I did see it go confirmed.
