A cold front moving across the southeast will bring showers and thunderstorms into north and central Georgia Thursday. We are continuing to monitor the potential for strong to severe storms Thursday afternoon through early Friday morning across the western portion of the forecast area.
- The Storm Prediction Center has identified a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe weather across far northwest Georgia, and a Marginal Risk (level 1 out of 5) for severe weather across the majority of west Georgia.
- The biggest threats associated with any strong to severe storms that develop will be damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.
- There will also be a potential for heavy rainfall resulting in localized flash flooding and rises on creeks, streams, and rivers mainly along and north of the I-85 corridor.
- At this time, rainfall amounts will range from 1-2 inches along and north of the I-85 corridor, with locally higher amounts possible.
