Discrete cells won't be as much of an issue from here on out. That isn't to say the tornado threat isn't there..it most definitely is...but the worst of the tornado outbreak is over for today.
Widespread severe weather is likely throughout the night.

I've seen some reports of the "earth scoured" near Shawnee. Wonder if that tornado might have briefly been EF-5?
