A round of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to redevelop this afternoon and evening across portions of East Alabama and West Georgia, as a cold front approaches the region. With warm, moist air still in place, there’s plenty of fuel in the atmosphere to support intense storms.
What to Expect:
Residents should be prepared for multiple waves of storms between 2 PM and 10 PM, although some activity may linger into the overnight hours. The most intense storms could pack damaging wind gusts over 60 mph, hail up to the size of quarters, frequent lightning, and periods of heavy rain.
While the overall confidence is high that a few severe storms will develop—especially across north Georgia—there’s still some uncertainty regarding how far south the threat will extend.
Stay Weather-Aware:
Keep an eye on weather updates throughout the day, especially if you live in or near the affected areas. As always, have multiple ways to receive warnings and stay safe if severe weather approaches your location.
