Not fair!!

This just isn't fair!   Look at severe indications both north and south of the Northern VA area...and you can ignore the one marker NW of Fredericksburg as it must have been a mistake.  All I'm seeing at the moment is gray overcast and light rain....yuck!

UPDATE 6:00 pm
Looks like the MCS that coalesced earlier today has completed its push through Northern VA with no - repeat - no chaseable storms.  When I heard a hint of an MCS in last night's forecast discussion I cringed because today's lack of chasing results (gray overcast mushy stuff) is what can happen.  The southern edge of the system did fire some good looking cells that had both hail markers and rotation indicators on GRLevel3, but they were well south of I-64 and way out of my interception range today especially considering the 35+ knot forward speeds.  Oh well....the good news is that my new MiFi card worked very well, providing great signal strength even in rural Spotsylvania county.  I was able to access my usual chasing websites via both my laptop and my ITouch.  Friday???
