I'm in for a big cell or two and that's it, but if you get under one good luck.  Going to be a few happy campers and many people left out.

that's almost always the case with thunderstorms here, unless we're dealing with a ramped up cold front or derecho.

I'm late to the party, but kmlwx and I are back in synch.     I'm out for today but very much in for tomorrow.     I agree with SPC that the low-level winds are progged to be a bit too crappy (and the boundary will be a bit too hot) for tornadoes, but supercells and line segments are a good bet.

If tomorrow is a big show, will that lessen the chances of another big show on Thursday? (worried about an outdoor event Thursday evening) Never a good sign when one day's forecasted high is 93 and the next day is 82. :)

GFS might be running too humid at spots. I saw a small blob up near FDK for tomorrow where the GFS was progging like 6K SBCAPE. I looked at the sounding and it has a 76 dewpoint in the area. Doubt it would be that high.

In regards to what you were saying @mappy about watches ....

I had several Bradford pear trees I had went down a couple years ago, in a storm that did not have even have a warning, quick moving discrete cell, estimated winds of over 70 mph.   

In 30 years only a few watches for my area yielded a severe event. But, I understand and appreciate the reasoning with watches, and it is always best to be prepared. We are talking life,  loved ones and property here.

Kudos the the NWS and the SPC for what they do.

  FWIW, most of the guidance today actually shows us making a run at 90 again on Thursday.    The trigger mechanism for Thursday storms isn't as defined, but there is definitely some threat of storms later in the day (possibly severe).

Yea tomorrow is probably our best shot for anything organized this week.

Yes, sorry, I had meant that the big change in temps I was seeing is Thursday to Friday. I'll go back into my corner and cross my fingers until then. Thanks.

Also worth nothing the HRRR continues to have essentially NOTHING south of the M/D line for today. (17z run). I'm completely out for today unless you're in mappyville - and even then probably out. 

we ain't seeing anything today man. put your eggs into tomorrows basket

Yeah - looks like we lull after these next few days. CIPS is much quieter going forward - not much signature for severe to be seen.

Winner winner. The system still works, though I may need an update if Ian/Ellinwood never come back lol.

I think you move High Risk into a box of his own into the Ian/Ellinwood slot. He would be the most like them that consistently post.
