DCAPE is still several hundred J/kg lower than previous days. CAPE seems fine overall. 

       It's up around 900 or so.    Was it that much higher on previous days?     Regardless, that's enough today to still have downburst issues, especially given the high CAPE.

I think it was around 1200 on the stormier days and 1400 yesterday (which was a dud)

Lightning tracker looks solid 

Is there an easy way to explain how this works?  I watched a pretty good bolt hit the ground very close to me in Towson with a huge bang last round of storms and a few min later on Radarscope it showed the bolt inside the blue location circle on my iPhone - - amazingly accurate I might add as the bolt hit to the south a bit and it was almost pinpoint accuracy to my eye on RadarScope.  Are there lightning antennas all over town and its triangulating?  That can't be it you would need to blanket the entire country!

The area near Darnestown to Potomac and vicinity looks similarly placed as the PG/East MoCo area did earlier in the week. Backbuilding could keep them in heavy rain for some time. Probably going to be some cases of high water or flooding out that way.
