The greatest risk is for much of the eastern half of north Georgia, but there is a threat for the rest of us as well.
The primary threat is damaging wind gusts, and maybe some hail mixed in.
As these storms fire up through the evening hours, continuing into the night, there is the chance of 50-70 mph or stronger wind gusts that could knock down trees and powerlines.
The storms continue into the night but diminish as we head toward morning.
It is a moderate threat level for damaging wind gusts and heavy rain, while the risk of hail is low.
Severe Weather Team 2 will be tracking those storms LIVE on Channel 2 Action News.
