Severe storms in Georgia. Harmful gusts of wind. They issue a weather warning.
They are issuing a watch for Thursday morning as another round of severe storms is expected to move through North Georgia.
This second round is likely to weaken as it moves into the heart of metro Atlanta.
However, experts say that parts of the far northwestern part of the state of Georgia could see some severe storms.
The biggest threat from these storms is damaging winds with gusts exceeding 60 mph. Hail and localized flooding cannot be ruled out either.

Those who can do so are advised to consider working from home or adjusting travel schedules to avoid the direct impact of adverse weather conditions.

Although the storms are expected to weaken as they move toward the Atlanta metropolitan area, residents of far northwest Georgia should be on the alert.
There is a potential for this region to experience severe storms with increased intensity, which could lead to property damage and downed trees.
Gusts in excess of 60 mph can down trees and power lines, causing power outages and damage to structures.
Similarly, hail is also a concern, which can cause damage to vehicles and roofs as the hours go by.

Thursday morning’s thunderstorms will move away giving way to partly cloudy skies with highs in the upper 80s, thanks to rain-cooled air.
Then, as the day progresses, the chances of extreme weather also increase in parts of the state of Georgia.
