The North Georgia Weather Authority was established in 2011 to provide accurate weather forecasts and severe weather coverage for all of North GA. The page is operated by Austin Chaney, an Atmospheric Sciences student at the University of Georgia. Come here often for up to the minute weather coverage.
Mission: Our goal is to provide quality forecasts to the Atlanta Metro area and North Georgia.
A line of strong thunderstorms extending from Jasper to north of Athens to near Augusta continues to move northeast at about 40 mph. As it tracks toward the Northeast Georgia mountains and South Carolina state line the storm will be accompanied by heavy rain, gusty winds up to 50mph, pea sized hail, and frequent cloud to ground lightning.
A line of strong thunderstorms extending from near Marietta southeastward through Atlanta to near Eatonton is moving northeast at about 40 mph. Expect brief periods of heavy rain, gusty winds, and frequent cloud to ground lightning as the storm tracks northeast affecting locations from metro Atlanta eastward to Athens and points in between over the next 1-2 hours.
-Outlook-
-Monday will bring numerous showers and thunderstorms across North Georgia, especially in the afternoon. A few storms may be *severe*, with damaging straight-line winds and hail being the primary threats. Temperatures will reach the mid to upper 70s by this afternoon, cooling to the low 60s tonight with more showers possible.
-Tuesday and Wednesday, partly to mostly cloudy conditions will persist, with scattered showers and thunderstorms in the area for both days. High temperatures will warm to the mid 70s, with lows in the 60s .
-Thursday and Friday, the chance of scattered showers and possibly a thunderstorm will continue otherwise, skies will be partly cloudy. Temperatures will be warming into the 80s, with low 80s expected on Thursday and mid 80s possible on Friday
-Thanks for depending on North Georgia Weather Authority for up to date forecasts, and stay with us as we track thunderstorm activity this afternoon.
-Severe Weather Potential-
A system moving into North Georgia over the next 24-36 hours is expected to produce widespread showers and thunderstorms starting early on Monday morning. A few thunderstorms could quickly become strong to severe, especially on Monday afternoon and into the evening.
The best risk of severe weather will be from metro Atlanta and points eastward, along and north of i-20 to i-85 and the Northeast Georgia mountains, although, all of North Georgia has a risk for a few strong storms throughout the day on Monday.
The primary threats accompanying the storms will be damaging straight-line winds and hail. Stay tuned to North Georgia Weather Authority as we monitor storms when they develop and progress through the area on Monday afternoon.
-Weekend Outlook-
Warm and pleasant weather will be the story this weekend.
Friday, conditions will be partly cloudy with an afternoon high temperature in the low 80s and night-time low temperature in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Saturday, dry weather will continue with a few clouds around and afternoon temperatures warming well into the 80s. Low temperatures will be in the upper 50s to low 60s once again.

Late afternoon 4/29/2020 update: the risk for severe weather today and tonight is less, although not zero. To quote the National Weather Service in Peachtree City from this afternoon:
"The concern for severe thunderstorms is Not as great... We are not out of the woods yet and isolated severe storms are still possible."
The clouds today kept the sun from recharging the atmosphere, which is keeping the intensity of the storms down.
We'll keep an eye on things tonight, in case a few storms reach severe levels.
Good Morning North Georgia!The high today is expected in the upper 70’s. Tonight, temperatures will drop into the low 50’s. There is a 100% chance of precipitation throughout the
day. Also, our team is monitoring the potential for severe weather on Wednesday . Stay tuned
for updates. As always, thank you for following North Georgia Weather Authority.
Hi, it's Dr. Knox on Tuesday night. There is a chance of severe weather over north Georgia on Wednesday, starting around 1 pm in the far northwest and ending by about 2-3 am in the far east. However, the primary risk is high winds and some hail, *not* large long-lived tornadoes. If clouds sock us in most of the day, the risk of severe weather of any type will be lessened. We'll keep you posted on Wednesday as the storms approach from the west.
Good day North Georgia! Today we are going to have some beautiful weather. The high will be in the upper 70’s, with no chance of rain. In addition, the skies will be sunny and clear throughout the day and partly cloudy throughout the night. Enjoy your Tuesday and stay tuned for further updates, as we expect to see some rainy weather tomorrow. Thanks for following @northgaweatherauthority !
* Severe Thunderstorm Warning for...
Northwestern Habersham County in northeastern Georgia...
Rabun County in northeastern Georgia..
The tornado watch is now for only Towns and White counties. Correction: it also continues for the far NE part of Georgia, which is in a different NWS forecast office region. Sorry about that.
Tornado watch for far north/northeast Georgia until 10 pm. Severe thunderstorm warning for Towns, Union, and White until 7:30 pm.
Good morning North Georgia! The high for our area will be in the mid 70s. The sky will still be cloudy from last night but the chance for rain is low. Overnight temperatures will drop to the mid to low 50s and the chance of rain slightly increases. Over the weekend temperatures will still reach the mid 70s. Thank you for joining us North Georgia Weather Authority and have a wonderful day.
5:45 pm update: there are non-severe thunderstorms moving past Gainesville on either side of I-985, and some non-severe storms in the general vicinity of Rome. Storms are moving to the northeast. There are no severe weather watches in effect at this time for north Georgia.
Mid-morning Thursday update: the Storm Prediction Center has reduced the risk for northeast and north Georgia--not to zero, but it is reduced vs. yesterday's outlook.
Much of north Georgia is at a 2 on a scale of 1 (marginal risk)-5 (high risk), and northeast Georgia is down to a 1. The highest chances of severe weather will be in far south Georgia.
We will be monitoring the situation all day.
Good morning North Georgia! Heads up! There will be rain and storms throughout the day. There is a possibility that some could become severe.The high today will be in the upper 60’s, and tonight temps will drop into the mid 50’s. Stay tuned into @northgaweatherauthority for future updates on severe weather as the system develops, thanks for following!
Late Wednesday night update from Dr. Knox: the forecast for Thursday is still a bit uncertain.
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed much of north Georgia, except for the far northern and northwestern counties, in "Enhanced Risk," i.e. 3 on a scale of 1 (marginal)-5 (high). But not all models place north Georgia at the same level of risk as south Georgia, south of Macon. I have been discussing this situation with our students and with other meteorologists tonight; it's a tough forecast.
One possible scenario is this: on Thursday, a first round of strong storms could threaten NW Georgia in the late morning to early afternoon. (Even though NW Georgia is at a level-2 risk according to SPC.) A second round of storms could bring severe weather to north Georgia Thursday night.
Or, the rain could come earlier to north Georgia and tamp down the earlier threat in NW Georgia, but there could be severe weather in north Georgia later Thursday afternoon and evening.
We have students taking exams tomorrow, but we'll do all we can to keep you updated as the weather situation evolves on Thursday.
Good morning North Georgia! Today we have sunny skies with a high in the mid 70s. Tonight temperatures will drop into the mid 50s. There is a 20% chance of overnight precipitation in the Central and Eastern parts of our forecast area, with a higher chance of rain in the Northwest region. Also, our team is monitoring the potential for severe weather on Thursday. Stay tuned for updates. As always, thank you for following @northgaweatherauthority.
Hello North GA! Today will be mostly sunny and clear with temps in the low 70’s. It will be relatively breezy with wind speeds 5-15mph, as well as gusts up to 25mph. Tonight temps will drop into the mid 40’s, and it will remain breezy. As always, thank you for following North Georgia Weather Authority and enjoy your Tuesday!
