Severe Weather Team 2’s Ashley Kramlich said it was another warm day Saturday, with another record broken for warmth with a high of 83 in Atlanta.
Some storms popped up during the day today, but the main threat for Saturday will come in a broken line of storms. This expected to enter the northwest corner of the state at about 9 to 11 p.m.
It is expected to move across the metro area around midnight, and as it does, it will weaken.
There is a potential for a stray severe storm to produce damaging wind gusts and heavy rain. While the tornado threat is low it is not non-zero.
Rain will continue through the overnight hours and into Sunday morning. Conditions will dry out, but watch for another round of storms Sunday afternoon.
