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.

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.

Kmlwx Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Severe possible along and NE of a line from Westminster to Towson. Garden variety to the south of that line seems like a good call right now at least. Seeimg some little popcorn showers locally around DC now.

Looks like some kind of outflow boundary along I-70 in the past couple of frame from LWX radar. Might explain all the pre-line junk firing.

Eskimo Joe Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Quote Mesoscale Discussion 0396 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0616 PM CDT Sat May 12 2018 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. ..Darrow.. 05/12/2018 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...PHI...CTP...LWX...
