"Severe Storms Threaten Mid-Atlantic and Florida, Tornado Watch in West Georgia"

A severe weather outbreak spanning from Texas to the Ohio Valley and the Southeast has now shifted to the East Coast, particularly affecting parts of Virginia and Florida. While the risk of severe weather has decreased from previous days, nearly 30 million people in the mid-Atlantic region and North and Central Florida still face the potential for damaging wind gusts, large hail, and a few tornadoes. The storm system is fast-moving, with thunderstorms moving east at over 50 mph, and is expected to move off the East Coast by sunset. Additionally, the article notes that April typically sees an increase in severe weather outbreaks, and this year's tornado activity is below average while hail and damaging wind reports are closer to average.
