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

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

Isolated severe storms possible today, mainly across central and
parts of northeast Georgia.

A strong storm system centered over Mississippi will move eastward
across Georgia today. This will destabilize the atmosphere across
north and central Georgia. The result will be scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms, a few of which could be
severe. The main hazards will be damaging winds and large hail.
The potential for severe thunderstorm development should taper off
by 6 pm.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday...

Another strong storm system will move over Georgia late this week
and into the weekend. Scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms will develop Thursday night into Saturday. A strong
cold front will move across the region Sunday, destabilizing the
atmosphere further. This will result in a few storms becoming
strong to severe, mainly Sunday afternoon and evening.

.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.
