Nothing on CAD or our DOT feed. Really surprised. It came through Reisterstown as nothing but heavy rain. Radar looked a lot better than ground truth.

     I don't really understand why the line was so meh.    The 00z IAD sounding isn't bad.     Maybe the CAPE is a bit tall and skinny, and deep layer shear is marginal, but I would have expected an organized line like that to have a lot more wind.

Evening AFD LWX disco update for tomorrow

Dry weather should start our day on Thursday with temperatures
in the 70s. Another threat for severe thunderstorms, higher in
the risk category to Enhanced Risk, will unfold around midday
and linger through the afternoon. Thursday`s severe activity may
be more so between 3pm and 6pm, rather than 6pm to 9pm like this
evening`s activity. Activity should be more earlier in the day.
The front to our north will be a trough that will meander to the
east during the day Thursday before a cold front approaches
Thursday night. CAPE values will increase above 2000 as
temperatures and moisture increase during the day. Wind shear
will also be present and could be more significant than this
evening`s activity. As a matter of fact, the threat for
tornadoes becomes more pronounced Thursday. Thursday could be a
very dangerous environment. We will to need monitor the
changing weather situation to determine the timing, coverage and
risk for severe weather Thursday.
