The new 12z GFS/UKMET clearly show a more progressive evolution as a convectively-induced vorticity maximum rides east a bit ahead in the long-wave. They both also show the SLP diving more southeastward throughout the afternoon and have better timing with current trends/placement of features than the slower 00z ECMWF (all of which is outlined nicely in this afternoon's model discussion).

 

Clearly, the situation tomorrow relies heavily on what kind of beast develops today in the Midwest and the effect it has on the mid levels.

 

Even with the progressive/further south scenario, a tornadic window may still exist late morning-early afternoon for the areas outlined in this morning's hatched zone from the SPC.

Its slower by a lil bit over 12z... at 21z it looks like its near of just north of FDK

 

15z SREFs really also cut back on the SigTor ingredients for everyone

 

Makes sense given the progressive nature now and weaker low. Damaging wind threat seems to be the highest risk with isolated tornadoes possible. Pretty similar to most of our severe events around here.

I think a 10/15/45 will prob be what we see at 0600z with MOD risk...  could be be more 5/15/45 though (tor/hail/wind)

Probably is putting it kindly. Condsider bing stuck on the Beltway or I-95 when an EF2 or 3 comes a roarin'. Although most single-family homes here have some sort of basement to go to besides the townhomes with garages on the bottom floor. Not too mnay people would be aware of tornado sirens or have even practiced tornado safety either.

 

You can imagine if that devastating La Plata tornado from 10 or so years back had hit a very densly populated area like say northern VA including going over a jammed up beltway.

Here's another way of thinking about it. This is the pressure and CAPE graph of all the SREF ensemble members at BWI airport. You can see the majority pass the center/ cold front over BWI at 5pm. Consider that point the point at which there are uni-directional winds. Before that, any surface winds will be slightly backed. Now look at the CAPE (green,yellow and red are strength of helicity). High time for tornadoes is clearly between 11am and 2pm and then the mode should switch to dmg. winds.

90/90 in wind on the PDS STW... we will have to see how that fairs as we go into the overnight

I don't think it matters. No models bring that area in here do they? It might matter with regard to the low development but otherwise..
