So - genuine question - why was every single open warm sector tornado yesterday completely rain free?
I certainly expected to see HP/rainwrapped messes. Instead everything was dry and photogenic. Not to mention cyclical and productive. ????

Chasing in IL today is not for the faint of heart, or for new chasers, imo. Parameter space reminds me of 6/22/15 and 6/22/16, both of which featured numerous tornadoes that were so astronomically HP that you had to be inside the bear's cage to see them. Good luck out there!
