This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for North and Central Georgia.

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

Periods of rain will continue through early afternoon, especially
areas east of I-85. Fortunately, widespread heavy rainfall will be
coming to an end, but an additional round of showers and storms is
expected later today as the entire storm system moves across the
area. Flood warnings are in effect for some rivers and streams
that will continue rise and respond to the heavy rainfall.

The overall severe weather risk is low today, but the potential
for a few stronger storms later today remains possible, mainly
across parts of central Georgia, south of Atlanta. Localized wind
damage is the main threat if any storms do become strong to
marginally severe.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday...

No hazardous weather is expected at this time.

.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.
