Forecasters warn of strong storms and damaging winds Sunday afternoon in Coastal Georgia, with a small chance of tornadoes and flash flooding.

🌪️ Why It Matters: Severe weather can cause power outages, property damage, and hazardous travel conditions. Residents need to stay prepared and informed as the system moves through.

🌧️ What’s Expected:
A weather system pushing east could bring:

  • Wind gusts topping 60 mph, potentially downing trees and power lines.
  • Heavy rain, with some areas seeing more than two inches and minor flooding.
  • Low risk of tornadoes, but rotating storms remain possible.

🕰️ Storm Timing

  • Morning: Showers and storms begin.
  • Midday to Afternoon: Heavier storms roll in.
  • Evening: Conditions improve as the system exits.

💧 Key Risks:

  • Isolated tornadoes are unlikely but cannot be ruled out.
  • Hail is a slight concern, though damaging winds are the bigger threat.
  • Flash flooding may impact flood-prone areas.

🌎 The Bigger Picture: The storm system follows a line of severe weather that’s battered parts of the Southeast, leaving residents on high alert as it moves toward the coast.
