Looks like all systems go for a derecho event to unfold today...though maybe would like to see a bit stronger llvl wind fields. Anyways, looks like llvl lapse rates will continue to strengthen over the next few hours with 2-6km lapse rates already on order of 7-7.5 C/KM and even some pockets of 8 C/KM. Those are pretty eye opening for a significant wind event, especially with DCAPE values up around 1000 J/KG and even some higher pockets around. A strong tornado is even possible in any discrete cell that doesn't have its updraft interfered with.

12z NAM bufkit profile for BWI is pretty wild. Obviously this doesn't mean anything will happen, but it shows what potential exists *should* thunderstorm updrafts be able to utilize these available ingredients. Looks like some VBV going on, but that combination of shear/CAPE is pretty scary. Hail CAPE nearly 900 J/KG. EQL too way up there.

Starting to wonder if they're going to go 30% tor or something.

There’s no way they’d do that until the 20z update had ground truth with multiple TW’s and reports. Could see it happening this afternoon given the destabilization but they wouldn’t on a “whim”
