Severe storms linger in Southeast on Wednesday
A final round of strong to severe thunderstorms is possible Wednesday from portions of the Southeast into the Carolinas and southeastern Virginia as the line of storms continues east.
Damaging wind gusts and a couple of tornadoes are the main threats, especially over parts of Georgia, southeastern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
The storms will exit the Eastern Seaboard by Thursday, ending this week's multiday severe weather threat.
