The Wednesday morning forecast models are still predicting favorable conditions for tornadoes tomorrow over central and eastern OK. Each successive model run continues to slow down the system, so I would not be surprised if we're even chasing in western OK tomorrow. The moisture will be very high with dewpoints in the mid-60s, resulting in very good instability for this time of year. A potent upper-level storm system will also induce an intense low-level jet over the area, resulting in extreme low-level wind shear. The 12z Wed WRF model output for dewpoint, 850 mb, and 500 mb for Thursday evening are displayed below.

I'll be taking video and stills as the tornado crosses Sooner Rd just north of my house tomorrow evening just before poker.
Seriously though, looks like an interesting event! Parameters look intense. I'll be monitoring.
