 Ring of fire pattern returns later next week ?

I was reading over tonight's Nws forecast discussion and was delighted to hear that we may return to a ring of fire pattern later next week. The good news for most of you reading this is that I haven't heard mention of that possibility anywhere else to this point. The spc does mention the return of thunderstorms in the northeast and mid atlantic next thursday but doesn't give any mention of any anomalous ridge  and believes the best large scale assent will remain north of the continental border. 

Just one more night of continuous lightning, before we close the book on summer. Thats all I ask for, it was so awesome this past week!

I never ended up under a core, in fact, I didn't even really get that much rain from the event compare to others. However, the anvils alone provided  the occasional close lightning strike .  Distant flashes and thunder were continuous. Nights like those turn out to be very productive for me becaus It gives me a reason to keep my butt outside and work around the house.
