There's a huge area of instability now. MLCAPEs are looking to be in the 3000 to 4000 j/kg range from Oklahoma to Illinois. Flow in the whole area is pretty good, but the best will be in Oklahoma.
That, and the fact that chase terrain is better there, in addition to wanting to be in position for tomorrow, made us decide to try Tulsa. We're currently on the road (no, of course I'm not driving!) and look to be there for just after 1 PM.
We expect a dryline will once again trigger storms and they'll experience lots of shear, moving off toward the northeast. We'll of course have to stay out of the way, though, because the hail is likely to be huge. Baseballs or larger.
Wish us luck!

Looks like a major tornado went through Joplin, while closer to home a tornado went through North Minneapolis!
