This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of North and Central Georgia.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

Yet another upper level impulse will affect the area today
bringing enhanced chances for thunderstorm activity. Ongoing
storms over Tennessee will move into far North Ga this morning and
then the remainder of North GA late morning into the afternoon
while strengthening and expanding in coverage. Damaging winds and
large hail will be likely with this activity, especially during
the afternoon hours.

Although most of the storms will be moving which should alleviate
most flood concerns, the recent very heavy rainfall in some places
the last couple of days could lead to additional flood concerns
today.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday...

Another strong system will push through the area late Saturday
night through Sunday bringing additional chances of severe storms
including damaging winds and hail to the area.

No hazardous weather is expected Monday and Tuesday.
There will be a slight chance of thunderstorms over portions
of central Georgia on Wednesday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight, but spotters
are encouraged to submit reports of any severe weather and flooding
through the web by going to weather.gov/atlanta
