ATLANTA — Storms continue weakening as they move in from Alabama.
Three things to know
- Rain and some storms through early Friday.
- Widespread rain is expected, but only isolated storms are expected to turn strong or severe.
- A severe threat for the area is highest closer to the Georgia-Alabama state line.
Severe outlook
The Storm Prediction Center has placed metro Atlanta at a marginal Level 1 risk for severe weather. Far northwest Georgia is included in the slight Level 2 risk.
The line of showers and storms associated with the front will weaken as it approaches, so the more prominent severe weather threat will be to our west in Alabama and Mississippi.
Isolated storms could be capable of producing damaging winds, frequent lightning, and heavy rain. The storms in Alabama are already weakening. The Storm Prediction Center has removed the level 3 risk from Alabama.
