Severe Storms Could Pack Damaging Winds, Isolated Tornadoes From Southeast to Southern Great Lakes

Today's round of storms is from the same weather system that has produced severe weather in the South on Monday and Tuesday.

There have been more than five dozen reports of tornadoes from Texas and Oklahoma to Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, according to preliminary counts from NOAA's Storm Prediction Center. The official count of tornadoes won't be finalized until the National Weather Service completes storm surveys.

See this link for more information on the damage the storms have caused so far, including Tuesday night's tornado in New Orleans.

Below is a look at all the severe weather reports from this outbreak in the South since Monday afternoon.

Strong to severe storms are most likely on Wednesday from northern Florida, southeast Alabama and Georgia into the Carolinas. A few severe storms are also possible in the Ohio Valley and southern Great Lakes.

Damaging winds, hail and a few tornadoes could impact these areas.

A few severe storms might linger on Thursday in coastal areas of the mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Thereafter, the chance of severe storms will be minimal across the U.S. through the weekend.
