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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight...

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for mainly western portions
of north and central Georgia through 10pm tonight. Areas within
the watch have the potential to experience strong to severe
thunderstorms capable of producing damaging wind, large hail, and
heavy rainfall. Although thunderstorms are not expected to remain
stationary, given recent heavy rainfall, the threat for flash
flooding will exist within stronger thunderstorm activity.

Elsewhere, isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible
through the remainder of the afternoon and evening hours. A few of
these storms could become strong with gusty winds and heavy
rainfall possible.

.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
