The line designating the eastern border of the most severe weather expected overnight in Georgia has been moved eastward by the weather service and now includes Hall County.
“Here is the latest anticipated timing for the potential severe weather overnight, broken down (see accompanying map) into three general time windows,” the National Weather Service (NWS) advised late Tuesday afternoon. “Be sure that you have a way to be alerted of Warnings while you are asleep tonight!”
What’s now possible for us? “Damaging winds around 60 mph are the primary hazard, though a couple of brief tornadoes could occur,” the NWS says.
Forecasters say to use a weather radio and/or ensure that Emergency Alert System (EAS) notifications are enable on your phone. “Remember – outdoor warning sirens are only intended to be heard if you are OUTDOORS.”
