ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — Morning storms will give way to more isolated rain coverage this afternoon, with much nicer weather returning for the weekend.
What to Expect This Morning
Scattered to numerous showers and storms will continue through at least daybreak, with coverage likely starting to decrease toward mid-morning. If you’re heading out for your morning commute, be prepared for wet roads and reduced visibility in areas with active storms.
What to Expect This Afternoon
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will develop this afternoon across central and eastern Georgia — particularly southeast of I-85 — where the atmosphere is most unstable. These storms may pack damaging wind gusts strong enough to knock down tree limbs and cause power outages.
Beyond the wind threat, frequent lightning and locally heavy rainfall are possible with any storm that develops. If you’re in the path of these storms, seek shelter immediately when thunder roars.
Timeline for Your Area
This Morning: Early storms across North Georgia will gradually weaken as the day progresses.
This Afternoon into Evening: The main threat shifts to central and eastern Georgia, especially areas along and south of a surface front that will sag southward. This is where the highest moisture and instability will be concentrated.
Weekend Outlook
Saturday and Sunday bring a welcome change. Drier air filters in behind the frontal boundary, and temperatures will reach the low 90s but with lower humidity. Dry, sunny weather is expected all weekend!…
