I'm thinking the TORs are coming off the terminal radars because the velocities off LWX don't appear too impressive.

They may just be warning broad rotation. But that MoCo one did look pretty good on a few of the TDWRs. It doesn't look great right now.

My guess is this will end up being remembered for lightning instead of severe - not seeing any LSRs even yet. 

Wait and see ;)

There's a relatively good indication of 1-km AGL rotation from KLWX for the storm west of Baltimore City. Also some shear-induced size sorting evident in the relative placement of the ZDR and KDP maxima.
