The line of severe storms have formed right on cue and have been packing a punch across the Deep South. This line has now crossed into Alabama from Mississippi and will continue moving toward Georgia. We can expect storms jumping out ahead of the main line entering Northwest Georgia by 8 pm. There have been some slight adjustments to the timingof the main line of storms, pushing them into Georgia a little sooner. If there are further adjustments to the timing, it will likely be on the side of a sooner as opposed to a later arrival. The attached timing map shows the estimatedtiming for the MAIN LINE of storms (not all of the severe weather) tonight and into Sunday.

Our main threats remain: 60-80 mph wind, some EF2+ long track tornadoes, large hail (1"+) and heavy rain (with the highest flood risk in North Georgia).

We are only a few hours from the start of this severe weather event. Finalize your severe weather plan now. Make sure that you have a way to receive weather alerts in real time and be prepared to go to your tornado safe place: lowest level, most interior room, away from doors and windows in a site built structure.

There WILL BE power outagestonight. Plug in your cell phone now and make sure that you have a 100% charge by8 pm. The Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are the second best source of receiving weather alerts behind a NOAA Weather Radio. But you have to make sure those alerts are turned on and your phone is not set to silence them.

While we expect the storms to lose some intensity compared to what we are seeing right now in Mississippi and Alabama, they will still pose life threatening hazards as they move into Georgia tonight and tomorrow morning.

Stay safe by staying informed.

A rare Level 5 out of 5 High Severe Weather Risk has been issued for portions of Mississippi and Alabama for Saturday. The Level 4 risk area has been pushed east into Georgia. While the tornado parameters will be dialed back some as the line of storms move in from Alabama into Georgia, they still remain relatively high with a greater than 10% chance of significant tornadoes (EF2+, long track tornadoes) mainly in the Level 3 and 4 areas.

Thunderstorms will begin taking advantage of the charged up atmosphere across the state this evening. More thunderstorm activity will be present throughout the day on Saturday. There is still a good bit of fine tuning to be done on the exact timing of the main line of storms. But the way things look now you can expect the main line to enter Northwest Georgia in the late evening hours on Saturday. The line should move over Metro Atlanta and the I-85 corridor between 1 am and 6 am. From Augusta to Macon to Albany between 4 am and 9 am. Then into Southeast Georgia and Coastal Georgia after daybreak Sunday and into Sunday afternoon.

How well the storms hold together through the overnight hours into Sunday morning remains to be seen. But at this stage, everyone in Georgia should remain on high alert.

All hazards are expected with this storm system: heavy rain, dangerous lightning, severe hail, severe wind and long track significant tornadoes.

Have your severe weather plan in place now. Make sure that your NOAA weather radio is charged and ready to go and turn on your WEA alerts on your smart phone. Do not depend on outdoor warning sirens to wake you up!

We will be live on the Georgia Weather Net and the the Georgia Weather Net state network of radio stations throughout the night and into Sunday with updates.

Now is a good time to familiarize yourself with a GA county map. It’s crucial to know your county and those to the west, as storms typically approach from west to east. Additionally, keep in mind warnings are issued on a county-by-county basis.
