There seems to be growing consensus that an intense MCS will form over northeast OH and western PA late this afternoon and move southeast.   While it (shocker) appears that the best threat will be over southeast PA, at least some of the complex should make it into northern MD and potentially into the Baltimore-Washington corridor later this evening or overnight.     

Best threat over SE Pa or NW? That area is under the enhanced risk.

Sorry.  Bad wording on my part.  The southeast PA reference was regarding where the complex heads as it moves out of western PA.

Well if get anything later tonight it’s that complex developing over Michigan.

The front is slower than had been shown, so the updated Day2 has expanded the SLGT back to the north.  Still tons of CAM disagreement (of course).

It's likely the hail core interfering with the radar beam. Note how the broad rotation is behind the best VIL.
