"Severe Weather Threat: Tornado Watches and Strong Storms Sweep Across US"

A severe weather outbreak spanning from Texas to the Southeast and causing damage continued along the East Coast, with the mid-Atlantic region facing a Tornado Watch. Atmospheric conditions are less conducive for severe weather, reducing the risk of damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes. The storm system, fast-moving with thunderstorms ahead of a cold front, is expected to move off the East Coast by sunset, while winter weather on the northern end will linger. April typically sees an increase in severe weather outbreaks, and this year's activity aligns with previous El Niño events, with tornado activity below average and hail and damaging wind reports closer to average.
