Atlanta, GA – Severe thunderstorms will sweep across Georgia early Sunday, bringing damaging winds and a possible tornado threat. The strongest storms will occur between 2 AM and 10 AM, increasing the risk of downed trees and power outages.
According to the National Weather Service Peachtree City, high winds may combine with saturated soil, leading to fallen trees and power line damage. The greatest risk will be in central and northern Georgia, where gusts could exceed 60 mph. A brief tornado cannot be ruled out.
Residents should secure loose outdoor items and prepare for possible outages. Stay indoors during the peak storm hours and monitor weather updates. The storm threat will ease by mid-morning Sunday, but lingering gusts may continue into the afternoon.
Emergency officials advise having flashlights, charged devices, and a severe weather plan in place. If a tornado warning is issued, seek shelter in an interior room away from windows.
