U.P. under fire as severe weather moves through

For the beginning of this event, the western U.P. is taking the brunt of the storms for now. A very pronounced squall line is moving across the western portion of this area, triggering tornado and severe thunderstorm watches and warnings. Portions of the U.P. have even been upgraded to an enhanced risk of severe weather.

A new severe thunderstorm watch was just issued to encompass the central U.P.
Of most concern to me though is the fact that discrete cells appear to be popping up in the lower peninsula. This would indicate either weaker capping than anticipated by the models, or stronger levels of instability/overachieving temperatures able to overcome said capping. This could bode poorly for tomorrow, when conditions should be even more unstable in the afternoon.
