Bill and Brian are watching intense inflow into the storm and in fact, one chaser reported damaging inflow with power poles down and roof damage ahead of the lead supercell. But there is no substantial circulation at low-levels. The storm has an appearance of a big HP blob with occluding low-level mesos quickly surrounded by heavy rain, hail and probably cold air. However, they feel that it still deserves a 40% probability.
