Eh, who knows. The main threat is linear maybe.. perhaps not worth the tor box. Also though the box doesn't even cover most of the 5% area. Possible they'll put up a red box east of the mtns later maybe.

I admit that is what I am thinking... since tor risk really isn't supposed to ramp up with increasing shear until late afternoon/early evening, use STW for now, then issue TOR Watch after 20/21z

Not optimal and not super typical.. got me. This area could have prob gone longer without a watch not sure it's even that batch in WV that targets us per se.. more development further south. Lots of cu fields though something could go out ahead of it. Def got to wait till later for tor risk to ramp up.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
318 PM EDT SAT JUN 20 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
REMNANTS OF TROPICAL CYCLONE BILL WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST SUNDAY...MOVING
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE STALLING ON MONDAY. THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK WILL BE UNSETTLED AT TIMES AS DISTURBANCES INTERACT WITH
A WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MULTIPLE HAZARD WEATHER SITUATION THROUGH THIS EVENING AS REMNANTS
OF TROPICAL CYCLONE BILL APPROACH. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AND FLASH
FLOOD WATCHES IN EFFECT. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL PEAK FROM
LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH MID EVENING...WITH POSSIBLE FLOODING ISSUES
LINGERING OVERNIGHT DEPENDING ON EVOLUTION OF RAINFALL.

BREAK IN CLOUDS NOW OCCURRING ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA AND INSTBY IS
INCREASING. SHEAR THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERE WILL INCREASE AS THE
SYSTEM APPROACHES...AND A SOUTHERLY LLJ WILL DEVELOP THIS EVENING.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT WHILE CURRENTLY A SEVERE WATCH HAS
BEEN ISSUED...THE TORNADO THREAT IS NON-ZERO. TWO AREAS OF CONCERN -
ONE ALONG A STALLED BOUNDARY NEAR THE MD/PA BORDER...AND THE SECOND
AS LOW LEVEL WINDS POSSIBLY BACK A BIT THIS EVENING.
IN
COLLABORATION WITH SPC AND NEIGHBORING OFFICES...WILL MONITOR FOR
POTENTIAL TO CHANGE TO A TORNADO WATCH FOR PARTS OF THE AREA IF
NEEDED.
ANY HAIL THREAT WOULD LIKELY BE EARLIER WITH GREATER
INSTBY...THEN WBZ HEIGHTS REALLY RISE AS CIRCULATION CENTER
APPROACHES.
