Ocimnet - Severe t-storm threat very real for today and tonight. T-storms will start to develop this afternoon with the greatest threat of severe t-storms including tornadoes later this evening.
The best timing would put the t-storms near Rome by 8pm, Atlanta near midnight, and Athens and points east around 2am. Heavy rain could also accompany the storms with rain totals of 1-2”.
Even if tornadoes do not develop these t-storms will be capable of producing winds in excess of 60-70mph which would be sufficient to cause damage to small buildings and down trees and power lines.
Make sure you stay tuned to NOAA weather radio, as well as FOX 5 and myfoxatlanta.com.
By tomorrow the weather will improve with sunny skies and cooler temperatures. Highs will be in the lo 70’s.
