Ernesto To Lash Bermuda Through Saturday

A threat of severe weather will linger along the East Coast today from the same weather system that has produced damaging storms in parts of the Plains, Midwest and South over the past few days.

Since Monday, the outbreak of severe storms from this weather system has produced near 550 reports of damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes in the central U.S.

The outbreak will diminish as the storm system reaches East Coast on Thursday. However, there could still be some isolated damaging wind gusts in storms that track through the Northeast and Southeast regions.
