Widespread rain and scattered thunderstorms are expected across
the forecast area today. Some isolated severe thunderstorms may be
possible for areas of central Georgia, south of the I-20, late
this afternoon into the early evening with potential hazards
including isolated damaging wind gusts, large hail, or a brief
tornado or two.
Extended periods of heavy rain will also create a potential for
flooding in western Georgia and the Atlanta metro with 1-1.5
inches of rain expected with locally higher amounts possible.
Periods of heavy rain could cause ponding on roadways and low-
lying areas as well as flooding of small creeks and streams.
Wednesday through Monday...
A few rounds of thunderstorms are expected Wednesday through
Thursday for north and central Georgia, with an elevated risk of
severe thunderstorms capable of damaging wind gusts, large hail,
and tornadoes on both days. The highest likelihood for severe
thunderstorms will be early Thursday morning through Thursday
afternoon. Locally heavy rainfall could also pose a threat for
flooding in heavily saturated areas from previous rainfall.
