Absolutely massive storm. Warm air is flying north into this storm. Crazy amounts of lightning. You can clearly see the outline of the mesocyclone. I've got a video, give me a minute.

Really surprised no one has brought up the moderate risk area for tomorrow for SE IA/NW IL.

  Day 2 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1258 PM CDT Mon May 20 2024

   Valid 211200Z - 221200Z

   ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN
   IOWA...NORTHWEST ILLINOIS AND FAR NORTHEAST MISSOURI...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe storms are expected Tuesday across the Midwest, especially
   including portions of Iowa and Missouri into Wisconsin and
   western/northern Illinois. Tornadoes (a few strong), damaging wind
   gusts, and large hail are expected.

   ...Lower/Middle Missouri Valley to the Upper Great Lakes...
   A notably strong belt of cyclonically curved westerlies (70+ kt 500
   mb) will extend from the south-central Great Plains to the Upper
   Midwest and Upper Great Lakes on Tuesday, with a lead/convectively
   augmented shortwave trough likely to spread from the central High
   Plains toward the Lake Superior vicinity late Tuesday night. An
   elongated surface low over eastern Nebraska Tuesday morning will
   deepen and lift northeast to northern Wisconsin/Upper Michigan by
   evening, with a surface warm front lifting northward ahead of the
   surface low, although its effective position will likely be
   influenced by the early day precipitation. Meanwhile, a trailing
   cold front will surge east across Iowa/eastern Kansas/northern
   Missouri from mid-afternoon into the evening.

   Remnant clusters of storms will likely be ongoing Tuesday morning
   across central/eastern Nebraska, with the possibility of additional
   storms farther east across southern Iowa/northern Missouri in
   association with a warm-advection regime. Some key uncertainties
   persist about the influences of this early day convection, but
   trends will be for quick air mass recovery given a
   progressive/highly dynamic pattern.

   Very steep mid-level lapse rates will overspread the increasingly
   moist warm sector, supporting aggressive diurnal destabilization
   especially on the southern fringe of lingering convection/cloud
   cover. Significantly strengthening mid-level winds and a diurnally
   persistent strong low-level jet will support initial supercells
   capable of large hail and a few tornadoes, including strong (EF2+)
   tornado potential. But a mixed/transitional mode is expected
   overall, as upscale growth occurs given the degree of forcing for
   ascent, with likely evolution into a well-organized/fast-moving QLCS
   capable of increasingly widespread/intense damaging winds and a
   continued QLCS-related tornado risk. This scenario currently appears
   to be most probable across southern/eastern Iowa into northwest
   Illinois and nearby far northern Missouri. The severe risk will
   persist into the Upper Great Lakes region and middle Mississippi
   Valley overnight.

   ...Southern Plains...
   Convective coverage will likely decrease with southward extent as
   large-scale ascent focuses northward toward the Great Lakes.
   Nevertheless isolated storms are possible into northeast
   Oklahoma/northwest Arkansas by late afternoon/evening, and more
   conditionally with southwest extent near a dryline from central
   Oklahoma into central Texas. Large hail and severe gusts will be
   possible with this activity.

   ...Northeast States...
   A weak upper shortwave trough will move across southern Quebec and
   northern New England. This will result in a band of enhanced
   westerly deep-layer flow from northern New York into Maine. A
   seasonally moist airmass will be in place with surface dewpoints
   into the low 60s F, with strong heating and steepening low-level
   lapse rates. MLCAPE to around 1000 J/kg and effective shear
   magnitudes around 35 kt will support organized cells. Elongated
   hodographs and favorable vertical shear suggest marginally severe
   hail will be possible along with locally damaging wind gusts.

Wouldn't be surprised to see that moderate risk expanded for tomorrow

There are a few storms that are currently non-severe in Nebraska. There is this severe-warned supercell just north of I-80. I've driven by this area a lot

Phew, that's as high-end as a moderate gets.

   Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1254 AM CDT Tue May 21 2024

   Valid 211200Z - 221200Z

   ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN PARTS OF
   IOWA...NORTHERN MISSOURI...NORTHWEST ILLINOIS...SOUTHWEST
   WISCONSIN...AND FAR SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   An outbreak of severe thunderstorms, including the potential for
   strong tornadoes, is probable today, peaking in the afternoon to
   early evening. The area most likely to be impacted will include the
   Mid to Lower Missouri Valley across the Mid to Upper Mississippi
   Valley to the Lake Michigan vicinity.

   ...Mid-Lower MO Valley into the western Great Lakes...
   An MCS and other remnant storm clusters are expected to be ongoing
   across parts of the Mid-MO Valley to Upper MS Valley at 12Z. How
   exactly this morning activity evolves eastward is somewhat
   uncertain. An initial bout of severe wind and hail may persist with
   this activity through midday. This will likely be over a focused
   mesoscale corridor, given a stout elevated mixed layer to its south
   and progressively limited instability to the north. Quick air mass
   recovery is expected in the wake of this early-day convection within
   a progressive/highly dynamic synoptic pattern.

   Pronounced surface cyclogenesis is expected with amplification of a
   vigorous shortwave trough from the central High Plains to the Upper
   MS Valley. This will yield substantial amplification of low to
   mid-level flow, with a belt of 70+ kt 500-mb winds extending from
   eastern KS and western MO through at least IA this afternoon. As the
   surface cyclone deepens, an attendant cold front will surge eastward
   into central IA through northwest MO by 00Z.
    
   Very steep mid-level lapse rates will overspread the increasingly
   moist warm sector, supporting aggressive diurnal destabilization
   especially on the southern fringe of lingering convection/cloud
   cover. Initial supercell development should occur near the deepening
   surface cyclone by midday to early afternoon over the Mid-MO Valley.
   Increasingly widespread thunderstorm development is expected through
   the afternoon from the Upper MS Valley southward to the Lower MO
   Valley. Deep-layer shear will support an initial mixed mode of
   semi-discrete supercells and embedded supercells in clusters. But by
   late afternoon, upscale growth into a fast-moving arc of bowing line
   segments and embedded supercells is expected. Additional supercells
   should also form downstream along the effective warm front/remnant
   large-scale outflow that advances north in southern to central WI.

   Very large hail potential will be most likely with the initial
   supercell development, and with southern extent where semi-discrete
   storms should persist longest. Tornadoes, some of which should be
   strong, appear most probable from northern MO northward into
   southeast MN and southwest to central WI from both supercell and
   mesovortex processes. How far north strong-tornado potential can be
   realized will be modulated by the degree of destabilization in the
   wake of the early-day convection, but low-level SRH will be quite
   large. Damaging winds will become increasingly likely later in the
   afternoon into the evening with gusts of 75-90 mph possible as a
   well-organized QLCS forms. This should tend to be maximized across
   parts of central/eastern IA into western IL and northern MO. QLCS
   intensity should subside after dusk, as convection outpaces larger
   buoyancy, but a damaging wind threat could persist into Lower MI
   through the Mid-MO Valley. 

   ...Ozarks to central TX...
   Convective coverage will decrease with southward extent as
   large-scale ascent focuses northward toward the Upper MS Valley and
   western Great Lakes. Nevertheless, scattered severe storms are
   possible during the late afternoon/evening near where the cold front
   overtakes the dryline in the Ozarks. More isolated convective
   coverage is expected southwestward along the dryline in central TX.
   Large buoyancy and ample deep-layer shear will support a primary
   threat of very large hail in TX. While a mix of large hail, damaging
   winds, and a few tornadoes will be possible over the Ozarks.

   ...New England and northeast NY...
   A low-amplitude shortwave impulse/remnant MCV will move across
   southern QC and northern New England. This will result in a band of
   enhanced westerly deep-layer flow from northern NY into ME. A
   seasonally moist airmass will be in place with surface dewpoints
   into the low 60s F, with strong heating and steepening low-level
   lapse rates. Modest MLCAPE and effective shear from 30-35 kt will
   support a few organized cells. Moderately elongated hodographs
   suggest marginally severe hail will be possible along with locally
   damaging wind gusts.
