Georgia – The National Weather Service (NWS) in Peachtree City has issued a severe weather alert for Georgia’s I-20 corridor on Sunday, August 18, 2024. Forecasters are predicting strong to severe storms will impact areas along the I-20 corridor, particularly during the afternoon and evening hours.
According to the NWS, a combination of residual outflow from Saturday’s storms and an advancing cold front will create conditions conducive to severe weather. The storms may start as isolated cells early in the afternoon before intensifying and forming a more organized line of storms later in the day. Damaging winds are expected to be the primary threat, with the potential for hazardous conditions along the I-20 corridor and surrounding areas.
Residents and travelers along the I-20 corridor are urged to stay updated on the latest weather information and prepare for rapidly changing conditions. The NWS advises taking precautions to ensure safety as these storms develop throughout the day.
