Atlanta, GA – Residents across north and central Georgia should prepare for the possibility of isolated thunderstorms later today, Tuesday, September 30.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, a gloomy and humid start will gradually clear this afternoon as low clouds lift. By mid-to-late afternoon, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop, particularly across northern Georgia counties.
Forecasters say the window for storm activity will run from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., with storms likely to remain isolated in coverage. Hazards may include gusty winds up to 40 mph and brief heavy downpours. No severe weather is expected at this time.
While conditions are not favorable for widespread severe storms, the National Weather Service urges residents to remain weather-aware during the evening commute. Outdoor activities and after-school events may be briefly interrupted by passing storms.
The affected area includes metro Atlanta, Gainesville, Athens, and surrounding counties in north and central Georgia. Storm chances are expected to diminish after sunset as temperatures cool.
