⚠️ Timing Details: Rain enters northwest Georgia by mid-morning Sunday, but expect a slow progression. Storms won’t exit the region until Monday afternoon due to their sluggish movement.

🌪️ Threat Assessment: Damaging winds pose the main danger, with wind gusts potentially reaching 60 mph. The tornado threat remains lower but still possible, with brief, isolated tornadoes not ruled out.

💧 By The Numbers: Forecasters predict 2 to 4 inches of rainfall across the affected areas, with some locations possibly seeing even higher amounts.

🚨 Why It Matters: This slow-moving storm system brings welcome relief for allergy sufferers as rain will help clear pollen from the air. However, the heavy precipitation creates serious flooding concerns, prompting officials to issue a Flood Watch through Monday evening.

🔍 In Context: The storm system stems from a cold front pushing southeast through the region. The slow forward speed of these storms increases both flooding risks and the duration of severe weather threats.

📱 Take Action: Residents should secure outdoor items before Sunday morning, stay weather-aware throughout the day, and avoid driving through flooded roadways.
