Severe Thunderstorm Watch coming out. A smaller Tornado Watch may be right on it's heels.

I would be surprised if the bay bounties didn't get a TOR watch.

If you want some real giggles, head on over to the SPC meso analysis and see where the Violent Tornado Parameter (located under Composite Indices) is bullseyed.

Surprised no tor watch. 5% typically means one here. And w/ the CIG1 hatched area?

Georgteown storm appears supercellular.

EDIT: Now a TOR issued.

That sure looks like a supercell for Loudoun

That kind of SCP/SIGTOR bulls-eye is excellent for this time of year Mid-Atlantic or NEUS.

And despite all the clouds and earlier showers, sfc-based CAPE is high w/ the bulls-eye just SE of the metro and a good gradient N suburbs.  Current svr storm to the W ride that gradient (boundary)!

Did give the Tornado Possible in the warning. Good looking hook at times.

Looks pitiful on the TIAD and TBWI radars.
