Saturday screams MCS debris that kills everything off.  But man if we get sun are we gonna be primed.  Gonna 'meh' this until I see the visible satellite on Sunday.

I'm with you so far. This year everything has been seemingly isolated but intense supercells but otherwise kind of lame as a whole region perspective. Would be nice to get something widespread. though supercells are fun...

This season continues to be one bust after another.  There's been a few isolated cells and structure shots, but overall the weather has been insanely boring.

Absolutely agree. I missed some hail IMBY when I was out of town...

We need some regionwide event to get me excited again. Doesn't even have to be June 2012...just something trackable that is not some isolated sups.

Tonight's tornado near Dayton, OH gives me a bit more concern for tomorrow's threat. That tornado got going in a "meh" environment: ~500 CAPE, Bulk Shear less than 100, Helicity around 150, and LCLs between 500-750m. That low is going to be close enough to spring something on us tomorrow. So, again, don't sleep on tomorrow's threat. It may not have the "WOW" or "OMG" numbers, but it's something to keep an eye on.

00z NAM NEST sim radar is interesting from 18z to 01z tomorrow... looks like some sups maybe moving about the LWX region?  You can watch the storms fire as the ULL moves in to WV

03z HRRR also picking up on some storms at the very end of its run (sups?) developing around 20z as the ULL begins to rotate in... 02z HRRR at hr 18 had same idea

From the 9am HWO:

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Showers and thunderstorms are likely this afternoon into early
this evening. The strongest storms will be capable of producing
large hail...locally damaging winds and perhaps an isolated
tornado...especially across northern Maryland...northern Virginia
and eastern West Virginia.

LWX seems bullish

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
1036 AM EDT Thu May 25 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure and associated cold front will move
through the area late today. Weak high pressure will return to
the area Friday night and Saturday. A warm front will stall
over the region Saturday night. A stronger cold front will cross
the region late Sunday night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/..
Vertically stacked low pressure will move through the Ohio
Valley today. An occluded front associated with the low will
move into our area...and surface low pressure will develop along
that boundary overhead. Latest guidance shows a theta e ridge
along and ahead of the occluded boundary. Modified KLWX sounding
shows close to 1000 J/KG of MLCAPE this afternoon along and
ahead of the occluded boundary. The upper-level low to our west
will be building overhead later this afternoon into this
evening. Popup showers and thunderstorms are expected over the
area. Shear profiles will be weakening during peak heating this
afternoon...but they should still be strong enough to elevate
the threat for severe thunderstorms mainly for locations near
and to the north of the occluded boundary. Those areas appear to
extend from eastern West Virginia across northern Virginia
toward the Washington and Baltimore Metropolitan areas. Locally
damaging winds and large hail are the primary concerns. Low
clouds still have to dissipate by early this afternoon for the
severe threat to be elevated. Current thinking is that the
marine layer is shallow enough this morning for the clouds to
mix out...but will have to monitor satellite trends closely.
