Spotty showers develop in parts of Georgia on Father's Day

ATLANTA — Scattered showers and storms developed over parts of Georgia Sunday afternoon.

A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for Chattooga County until 6 p.m. Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan said 40-60 mph wind gusts are expected with heavy rain and frequent lightning.

Early Sunday afternoon, Severe Weather Team 2 was tracking some rain with a complex of storms over middle Georgia. A little bit of it is impacting our very far southern counties.

"The rain chance by the afternoon will run at 40 percent, with heavy rain and frequent lightning the greatest impacts," Monahan said. "Like we saw in yesterday's storms, though, a couple storms could become strong with 40 to 60 mph wind gusts and small hail."

Drier air will begin moving toward the area Monday, but not fast enough to drop the chance of rain below 40 percent.

By Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, enough dry air will move in to limit the chance of storms to 20 percent each day.

Afternoon highs will push into the low 90s, just in time for summer.

Summer begins at 6:07 a.m. on Thursday.
