A strong storm system is expected to move across the area later today. Winds ahead of the system could gust as high as 30 mph this afternoon. It also has the potential to bring some heavy rain to parts of the area late this afternoon into tonight, as well as scattered thunderstorms in north and central Georgia on this afternoon into evening. The risk for severe storms has increased, especially along and west of an Atlanta to Macon line. In addition to strong damaging winds, isolated tornadoes are possible with these storms. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday... Light snow showers are possible in parts of far north Georgia on Sunday morning as cold air is ushered in behind the system. Little to no accumulation is expected. Even a few flurries could be seen as far south as the Atlanta metro area, but should not have an impact. Conditions will be windy Sunday with gusts up to 30 mph out of the northwest, making it feel even colder. Monday morning could have wind chill values in the single digits for the northern mountains, which could warrant an advisory in future updates over the weekend. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not requested but spotters are encouraged to submit reports of severe weather through the web by going to weather.gov/atlanta.
