Peachtree City, GA – A risk of scattered severe storms is forecast across Georgia on Wednesday, with the highest threat of damaging wind gusts and large hail expected between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, the region is under a Level 2 (Slight Risk) severe weather outlook for Wednesday, June 25. Storms are anticipated to form in clusters, moving unusually from northeast to southwest across the state—a less common pattern for the Southeast.
The primary threats include wind gusts of up to 60 mph and hail potentially reaching quarter size. While the risk of tornadoes remains low, it is not completely ruled out. The strongest storm activity is likely to impact central and northern Georgia, including areas such as Atlanta, Macon, Athens, and Columbus.
NWS officials say residents should monitor conditions closely, especially during the evening commute, and have multiple means of receiving severe weather warnings. Outdoor items should be secured, and travel should be minimized during peak storm hours.
“Confidence is increasing in a clustered storm pattern, which could result in widespread damaging winds,” the Weather Service said in a Tuesday afternoon post.
The severe weather risk covers much of the state and surrounding regions. Alerts and real-time updates are available at weather.gov.
