A complex storm system has most of western Europe under what amounts to a "slight risk" for severe weather; however, there is a heightened threat level-2 (mod. risk) over most of Germany, northern France and eastern Belgium. http://www.estofex.org
Right now, explosive, discrete supercells are moving across the threat-level 2 area, especially over central Germany, along with more linear-type (yet explosive) thunderstorms along the cold front further west. Here is a link for a reflectivity loop from Bonn, Germany, displaying the last 60 minutes of activity, where supercells are apparent : http://www.eurometeo.com/english/radar/jump_MIUB-0
And another more regional look at the severe activity:

And a visible satellite image for Europe, showing the explosive storm development: http://www.sat24.com/frame.php?html=homepage
Current warnings for each country can be found here: http://www.meteoalarm.eu/ (The warnings are going to be in the native language of each country, but there are icons denoting "severe thunderstorms," etc.)
Edit: To see the Bonn, Germany reflectivity, go to this link: http://www.eurometeo.com/english/radar and scroll down until you see
