Strong Storms over Georgia

As predicted by the high resolution models, thunderstorms have redeveloped over western Georigia.

They are spreading south, just skirting the edges of Cherokee and Cleburne Counties in eastern Alabama. They will edge into Randolph and Chambers Counties as well.

The storms are quite intense in Georgia between Carroltton and the City of Atlanta.

Severe thunderstorm warnings are in effect for the western half of Atlanta Metro. Damaging wind is indicated on radar and there have been reports of small hail, and there is lots of lightning. Flooding is a major problem though, with most areas getting heavy rain yesterday. Flash flood warnings are in effect as well.

In Alabama, the flash flood watch continues for Calhoun, Chambers, Clay, Cleburne, Lee, Randolph and Tallapoosa Counties. All other counties have been cleared.

A review of skycams and satellite shows heavy clouds, but no rain in Alabama, except over Cherokee and Cleburne Counties. There has been a little drizzle in some spots, like eastern Jefferson County, but it is of no consequence.

Temperatures are in the 70s. Locations that stay cloudy may only make the lower 80s, but anywhere the sun breaks old, you can expect middle and upper 80s.
