Upper Level Low pressure system will stay over Ohio while several shortwave troughs rotating around the low affect the Eastern States. One is over WV/VA and progressing north. Broken cloudiness is expected across VA/MD by mid morning. On current satellite imagery, it does appear that there is some opening in the cloud cover. This will slowly destabilize the atmosphere. Scattered thunderstorm development will take place in that area. However, vertical shearing and mid level lapse rates have been falling for the last several days. Sufficient CAPE values should support the storms. The main threat is locally damaging winds.
In the Northwest, cloud cover and limited low level moisture are the wild cards regarding the potential for instability and severe storms. However, on current visible satellite imagery, there is already broken cloud cover. Should there be enough low level moisture, I do expect a slight risk to be issued.
Stronger storms that develop could have hail and damaging wind potential.
