Monday morning weather advisory from Gordon County EMA Director Courtney Taylor.
Good morning!
BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT / OVERVIEW:
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop across North and Central Georgia early this afternoon in response to daytime heating, before a potential complex of storms moves in during the late afternoon and evening hours. The core of the severe threat would be with the complex of storms. Similar to previous days, the primary anticipated hazard will be damaging wind gusts. A Slight Risk (Level 2 of 5) remains in place across North and Central Georgia to account for this threat.
WHAT:
- Scattered strong to severe thunderstorm activity is expected to move into North and Central Georgia late this afternoon and evening. Damaging winds in the 40 to 60 MPH range are the primary concern, but some hail near quarter size or a brief spin up tornado also remain possible.
WHERE & WHEN:
- Strong to severe thunderstorms could occur anywhere across North and Central Georgia.
- The highest severe weather risk to occur between 3 PM and 11 PM.
UNCERTAINTIES:
- While the threat for severe weather remains low with any morning storms, this activity could act to stabilize the atmosphere and hinder the severe threat later in the day.
- The form that storms take remains less certain (i.e. an organized complex of storms or unorganized scattered storms).
FORECAST CONFIDENCE:
- Moderate
