Severe Weather Threat: What to Know About Risk for Storms Overnight Severe weather is expected to impact north Georgia late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning as a cold front moves through the region. Severe Weather Team 2 is monitoring the situation, with forecasts indicating the potential for severe storms to develop west of the state and progress into Georgia during the evening. The StormTracker 2HD radar system, which is the most advanced in the southeastern United States, will provide real-time tracking of the storm system starting at 4:30 a.m. on Channel 2 Action News This Morning. Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz explained that severe storms are already forming to the west and will transition into Georgia later in the day. The primary threat will persist through late Wednesday night and into Thursday morning. The storm system is expected to bring heavy rainfall and damaging wind gusts, with a low probability of brief tornado activity. Temperatures in Atlanta will reach a near-record high of 82 degrees on Wednesday, but the arrival of the cold front will trigger a significant drop in temperatures. On Thursday, north Georgia is projected to see highs in the 50s to near 60 degrees. Residents are advised to stay informed and prepare for severe weather conditions. The Severe Weather Team 2 recommends having multiple ways to receive tornado alerts, such as the free WSB-TV Weather App, which sends notifications directly to smartphones when warnings are issued. Tornado sirens are designed to alert people outdoors, so individuals indoors should rely on mobile alerts or local news updates. In the event of a tornado warning, the team will provide continuous coverage until the threat subsides.#atlanta #severe_weather_team_2 #wsb_tv #stormtracker_2hd #channel_2_action_news
