Atlanta sits right where warm, humid air from the Gulf collides with cooler air from the north. Strong storms, damaging winds, hail and even tornadoes are all part of the reality of living in north Georgia.
“At Channel 2, covering severe weather isn’t just something we do, it’s a responsibility we take seriously,” said WSB-TV President Marian Pittman. “When storms threaten, our focus is simple: keeping you informed, prepared and safe. We invite you to join Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz and Severe Weather Team 2 as they break down what to watch for this season and what the risks really mean for your neighborhood.”
“Severe Weather Season” gives viewers an in-depth look at the exclusive tools Severe Weather Team 2 uses to keep viewers safe, such as breaking down storms in 3D, zooming to street level, and tracking a storm’s path minute by minute.
The special also takes a closer look at the impact recent storms have had on local communities. Nitz follows up with a local man who survived a tornado that destroyed his Henry County home and severely injured his teenage son.
