Now this should work lol

Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1105 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2019

   Valid 261630Z - 271200Z

   ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS
   OF SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA...SOUTHWEST NEW
   JERSEY...DELAWARE...EASTERN MARYLAND...AND EASTERN VIRGINIA....

   ...SUMMARY...
   The main threat for severe storms today will be from eastern North
   Carolina to southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey,
   including the DC, Tidewater and Delmarva regions.  Damaging wind
   should be the most common event, though a few tornadoes also are
   possible.

   ...Mid Atlantic Region...
   Water vapor imagery shows a strong upper trough approaching the Mid
   Atlantic region, with large midlevel height falls forecast across
   the region this afternoon.  Visible imagery shows broken cloud cover
   throughout the area, allowing daytime heating and destabilization to
   occur.  This should result in widespread thunderstorm activity later
   today, with the potential for damaging winds and a few tornadoes.

   The primary severe threat appears to be associated with a line of
   convection currently over eastern WV and western PA.  This activity
   will intensify by mid-afternoon as it tracks into the warmer and
   more unstable air across central VA/PA.  Strong westerly flow aloft
   and considerable low-level shear will promote bowing segments in the
   line capable of damaging wind gusts.  A few tornadoes are also
   possible along the line.  Other storms are expected to form ahead of
   the line in a weakly capped environment, also posing a risk of
   damaging winds and perhaps tornadoes.  Have upgraded to ENH risk to
   cover this region for this afternoon.  Please refer to MCD #451 for
   further details.

Warm front looks pretty potent...leaning 60/40 on tornado watch especially if we manage more sun.

Probably will be a tornado watch IMO (thinking more like 80/20)... should be partly to mostly cloudy with sunshine for at least another hour looking a sat

Just got into the best storm I have witnessed in several years. Barely clipped by that discrete cell east of the main line south of Virginia Beach in North East North Carolina. Winds were easily 50 to 60 miles per hour with pea sized hail and cloud-to-ground lightning. Lasted about 90 seconds.
