On another note, the elevated junk in NE/EC NEB has really struggled... amazing that it hasn't exploded given the environment, even if it is on the cool side of the OFB.

 

Capping appears to be still holding it down but the cu field in NE is very agitated on vis sat.

This setup has quickly escalated to one of the most impressive mesoscale setups I can ever recall.  You've got a leftover boundary, 30-40 kt of flow at 850 hPa, CAPE profiles larger than a wooly mammoth, effective SRH of 300-400 m^2/s^2, and a cluster of cells about ready to consolidate and take advantage of that parameter space all by itself.
