I wish we could hurry up and get someone with a live stream on the Knox city tornado.

Code:
   SUMMARY...Pair of potentially long-lived supercells within the
   southern portion of WW 146 may evolve with an intense tornado and
   very large hail threat.

   DISCUSSION...A potentially long-lived, slow-moving discrete
   supercell is centered over Knox County, TX. This supercell appears
   to be anchored along the far southern portion of the broader
   convective plume that extends north across OK/KS. With full
   insolation in the warm-moist sector inflow to its southeast, its
   plausible that a long-lived supercell will persist for the next 2-3
   hours. Amid MLCAPE of 3000 J/kg and mid 60s surface dew points to
   its southeast, a cyclic tornadic supercell could evolve beyond the
   very large hail threat with up to baseballs reported thus far. The
   supercell to its northeast in Wilbarger County, TX will also have
   potential to further intensify as it spreads towards and northwest
   of the Wichita Falls vicinity, given 0-1 km SRH of 100-200 m2/s2 per
   FDR VWP data.

With the introduction of enhanced as an option for lower end moderate days, it feels like highs are now reserved for clear cut historical outbreak days lacking enough uncertainty to preclude any questions, which is probably fine; barring extreme historical outbreaks like 4/27/11 or 5/3/99 most of our violent tornadoes have usually been on conditional risk days much lower than high anyway. We used to have an insane number of moderate and high busts in the 00s and early 10s so I'm kinda glad the threshold is now so ridiculously high.
And to be fair to today, the 20z outlook text made it clear that we're only lingering storm mode/interaction questions away from them having pulled the trigger on a High Risk upgrade as is.

Looks like the Knox County TX storm is in the perfect area where both 3CAPE and 3LR are maximized, basically. As you can see from these bar charts included, the environment for this supercell is top-notch.
