Storms continue throughout Georgia today and will be a little more intense than yesterday, with isolated to scattered thunderstorms expected to impact much of the state. Areas south of Interstate 20 are particularly at risk, where stronger storms could bring damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall.
The Details: Thunderstorms will be widespread across Georgia, with the potential for some to turn severe, especially in central and south-central regions. These storms could produce damaging wind gusts, isolated large hail, and frequent lightning. The National Weather Service has issued a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe weather for portions of the state, highlighting the potential for significant impacts.
Why It Matters: Severe weather poses a serious threat to safety, with the potential for property damage from high winds and large hail. Heavy rainfall could lead to localized flooding, while frequent lightning increases the risk of fires and power outages.
What’s Next: The threat of severe weather decreases after today. The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low from Monday through Saturday, although isolated thunderstorms could still develop in south-central Georgia from Thursday through Saturday.
