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

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

Widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue through
tonight. Some storms could be strong, producing gusty winds and
frequent lightning. There will be some potential for an isolated
severe thunderstorm, with the primary hazard being damaging wind
gusts. The airmass remains very tropical-like, and storms will
be very efficient rainfall producers. Localized flash flooding
will also be a possibility.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday...

Scattered thunderstorms will be possible each afternoon and
evening throughout the forecast area this week. Some storms could
become strong to severe with damaging winds, locally heavy
rainfall, and frequent lightning.

.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.
