Is this looking like most of the past events this summer or does something higher on the Fujita scale threaten? 

eh...when it comes to convection I think it is very difficult to compare events. You can compare synoptic features and upper-level patterns but that doesn't always translate to similar outcomes. 

With this setup we have increasing shear (though nothing overly crazy but sufficient), plenty of low-level moisture, and plenty of instability (mainly due to the presence of rich low-level moisture). Mid-level lapse rates are meh but we have a good shortwave and decent height falls. So we have pieces there it's just a matter of how do they come together?

Questions also regarding cloud cover, any ongoing precip in the morning, etc also play into things.
