Some tiny cells going up in Southern Carroll and extreme northern HoCo. From looking at them on GR2Analyst - they look capped....struggling to get very high

The convective temp on the 12z IAD RAOB was 94 degrees so the cap may not have been completely broken.

Not sure why my image looks like that... it's off the SPC site that deals with soundings

I have to save them as .PNG to load correctly on this site.  The convective temp on the 21z sounding was 92° so we're close but might not be enough for a full bore event.  Still, those cells coming out of Adams and York counties have top pushing 55,000 feet now so there's definitely potential for damaging wind with them.

   Areas affected...Middle Atlantic

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 85...

   Valid 122316Z - 130015Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 85 continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe threat will spread southeast across ww85 over the
   next several hours. Hail/wind are the primary threats.

   DISCUSSION...Remnant MCV from early-morning convection over northern
   IN has moved east-southeast into central PA where it appears to be
   partly responsible for aiding renewed thunderstorm development. Over
   the last 1-2 hours a corridor of upward-evolving convection has
   organized across southern PA and this activity is
   spreading/developing east-southeast across central portions of ww85.
   Radar/observational data suggests this activity is generating
   outflow that is surging well ahead of the convection but new
   thunderstorms may ultimately develop near the outflow/synoptic front
   intersection in the vicinity of Baltimore. Primary tornado threat
   will be with any supercells that evolve across eastern MD, utilizing
   aforementioned boundary where low-level helicity is maximized.
   Otherwise, hail/wind are the primary threats.

Pretty healthy looking squall headed your way

That line moving into Kent county will likely stay north of here. I will be watching for developing cells on outflow or low level bay/sea breeze boundaries.
