A moderate risk of severe thunderstorms is expected tomorrow afternoon in DC and Baltimore as well as Philly and Harrisburg. Violent thunderstorms are likely along the cold front later in the day tomorrow as a very strong dynamic storm system plows in from the west. This combined with strong heating with temps in the upper 80s to near 90, this creates a very very unstable airmass. Bow echos as well as embedded supercells within the line will likely cause strong to potentially violent tornadoes tomorrow afternoon and evening in this region. In addition wind gusts of 75-100 mph is possible as well.
When u have 6 inches of snow in Denver, CO in May, u know we have one huge outbreak extending from St Louis to Baltimore of hail, wind damage, and violent tornadoes over the next 24-48 hours.

I'll say, Jim! The temperatures only expected to warm into the 40's in the Denver area after nearly a foot of snow when all is said and done to the 70's, 80's in the eastern United States and the low to mid 90's all this week in Florida.
Good thing the stubborn upper level high in the Gulf of Mexico is beginning to retreat (move generally westward) away from Florida to allow the frontal system to move move southerly... that has been the expectation since yesterday.
The dryline over western Texas and western Oklahoma has caused rapidly developing thunderstorms in central Oklahoma... this appears to be the development that would make it toward and into Florida, not so much the activity over Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. Shower and thunderstorm chances rise, beginning Monday across northern and central Florida.

Hey, Eric...expect a chance of strong to severe thunderstorms on Sunday ... SPC has highlighted North Carolina under a slight risk tomorrow ... pending on the remaining energy leftover plus wind profiles will warrant any possible upgrades ... the threat, however, looks to be more of a damaging wind and hail threat as the projected wind profile ATT are more unidirectional (more SW'ly flow at all levels).
