More severe weather will occur across the southeastern United States, with a high risk of tornadoes across parts of Georgia and Florida lasting into Sunday night.  Some of these tornadoes will be long-track, which means they will stay on the ground for quite a while.  Non-tornadic storms will produce damaging wind gusts and large hail.

Some thunderstorms will be possible across southern Virginia late Sunday into Sunday night.  A few isolated storms may produce strong wind gusts.  The risk for tornadoes is extremely low, since the better ingredients for them will remain south of Virginia.

Occasional rain between Sunday and Monday night will produce over an inch of rain in some locations.  Thunderstorms will be possible on Monday, but should remain below severe limits.
