ATLANTA — Rounds of showers and storms will push across Georgia midweek as a front remains stalled across the south. With each new round, some stronger storms and heavy rain will be likely.
The severe risk is highest across southern Georgia Wednesday where there is a Level 4 out of 5 threat of severe weather.
Across the 11 Alive viewing area, we have a Level 3 out of 5 threat for our extreme southern zone. Then for the metro, it's a Level 2 out of 5 threat.
Damaging winds will be our primary severe weather player.
There is also a risk of flooding with repeated rounds of heavy rain. The National Weather Service issued a Flood Watch for our southernmost counties.
