Tornado warned cell North of Dallas / Ft Worth in Grayson county. I don't know if any of it will hold out for very long but there are a few good cells along there for December.
 
The storm mode is a lot less sqall-ish than I figured it would be. A quick glance at some fcst soundings show that the environment is actually quite favorable for sfc based supercells right now but should peak shortly with the diurnal cooling beating out the moisture influx. I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple brief spinups from around Durant to Dallas over the next hour.

EDIT: Quite a setting for 11pm in December:

I have just been tornado warned and the sirens are sounding, but everything has moved on past here. We got heavy rain, but that was it.

Yep, they sounded the sirens after the rotation had moved north of Plano. Rotation now being reported between Allen and McKinney. Reports now coming in about trees and power lines down. Storm motion to the NE. Wall cloud reported north of Plano in Allen.

EDIT: 11:30 PM. Storm is starting to develop a hook on radar. Surface and mid-level shear markers. Power flashes east of McKinney between Princeton and Farmersville.

Storms are definitely becoming less squallish as they move NE.
 
For December, had quite an impressive bow echo/lewp move through northeastern OK with numerous severe thunderstorm warnings issued after it moved just east of the Tulsa metro. As of 0700 UTC, it was just crossing the MO/AR border.
 
About 0110 had 60 mph winds in the extreme southeast part of Cherokee County Kansas w/ heavy rain and a cool lightning show.
