Atlanta Weather: More Thunderstorms Possible

A strong line of storms moved through metro Atlanta and north Georgia this morning, knocking down trees and taking out power lines. Severe Weather Team 2 meteorologist David Chandley said more storms were possible Monday afternoon.

The tornado watch that was issued for the metro Atlanta and north Georgia areas has been canceled.

Chandley said rainfall from the Monday morning storms was heaviest south of the city, with more than one inch of rain recorded in Fayette and Coweta counties.

"Expect a few pop-up showers and thunderstorms this afternoon, but they should remain below severe limits," said Chandley.

Chandley said the unsettled pattern would continue through mid-week.

The storms that moved into Georgia were all in a line of intense thunderstorms rolling in from Alabama, said Chandley. Wind damage from the storms was reported in the Arab and Guntersville areas in Alabama just before they moved into northwest Georgia. The roof of a Kmart store in Albertville, Ala., was damaged by the early morning storms, and trees were reported down on vehicles in DeKalb County, Ala.
