Well said. I agree with layering the Maryland counties adjacent to the Potomac River on the watch in case upscale growth occurs, but it's going to be tough. Our only chance seems to be from those storm just NW of Martinsburg getting their act together.

Was just going to post about that too. The other *possibility* is if the bowing line segment approaching Stephens City can surge a bit more east versus south east - it wouldn't take much trajectory change to get at least the southern half of MoCo in on the show.

Still a good bit of MLCIN over the DC/Baltimore area on mesoanalysis. DCAPE is not good NE of the Potomac essentially but ramps up quickly S/SW of there. 

DCAPE over me down at UVA is rather impressive. If the WV line holds together we could get some good wind damage.

Let's fire up the severe thread for one last hurrah!   SLGT for parts of the region tomorrow; MRGL for just about everyone else.   Strong front approaches Friday evening with a good signal for a line of forced convection just ahead of it.   Shear will be very strong, and some forecast soundings have a little bit of instability.   The threat of a few damaging gusts seems legit.  (I'm ignoring the 2% TOR for now.)

Ah our old friend QLCS (from this morning AFD from LWX)

 

Warm conditions return Friday as sunshine and southwest winds push
highs back up to the low to mid 80s. Models continue to slow the
arrival of our next cold front. The leading edge of the front, with
its associated line of showers and thunderstorms, is now progged to
cross the area Friday late afternoon to evening. The later arrival
also allows for more instability to develop, which will act to fuel
stronger thunderstorms. Sufficient shear should support an organized
like of convection, with embedded severe thunderstorms. While
damaging wind gusts are going to be the primary threat, a quick QLCS
tornado spin-up is certainly possible. SPC has added a Slight Risk
across the northern Shenandoah Valley to northern MD, with a
Marginal Risk covering the rest of the forecast area.
