Based on the current obs and the earlier modeling I tend to agree with that assessment. As they continue to race NE the downstream environment is highly unstable . They should ingest increasing amounts of SRH so if they stay fairly discrete which seems a reasonable assumption for several reasons, they both do have potential. They're about where you'd expect to see initiation for a cell that was going to take advantage of the environment today and the downstream progs for sig helicity tracks on some of the recent CAMs would, if propagating backward, initiate those cells about in that area. I'll leave it there.

Well, that verified.

How the hell do you have a TDS but no damage? That Trussville storm looked impressive but I'm hearing no damage reports...why is that?

Reports can be delayed for a variety of reasons: infrastructure down, first responders using encrypted channels, etc.
