"Red Blobs." NWS Doppler at 9:04 pm. Right now I don't see any obvious tornado (couplet) circulations out there - a rotation-based tornado warning remains posted for the southwest metro. Most towns will experience 50-65 mph wind gusts, frequent lightning, 1"+ diameter hail, and a potential for some 1-3" rains capable of street flooding between now and 10:30 pm.
