More stormy weather possible this weekend

We may be in for another bumpy ride, weatherwise, this weekend – just two weekends removed from a storm system that spawned tornadoes, flooding, etc. But the weather service says, right now, it doesn’t look like this round of stormy weather will be a potent as that one.

“There is a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms across northwest Georgia, mainly during the Sunday night into early Monday morning time frame,” a social media post from the agency says. “There is a Marginal Risk (level 1 out of 5) farther south and east of the Slight Risk area. Gainesville and vicinity are included in it. (Green are on accompanying map.) #gawx

Details:

🟨 Straight-line winds will be the primary hazard, with a relatively low threat of brief tornados and hail.

🟨 There is potential for severe weather for the remainder of Monday, but there is uncertainty regarding the evolution of the line of storms as it tracks eastward across the state.

🟨 Overall forecast confidence will increase later today and on Saturday, so stay tuned for updates!”
