.UPDATE...

Quick moving line of severe storms will continue to track east
across the region into the afternoon. Embedded tornadoes will
remain a potential with this line. An area of showers with
embedded thunderstorms will follow this main line.

Winds will remain gusty following this line as well due to a
tight pressure gradient across the region.
