The thunderstorms that have moved through western Georgia this morning were spreading into metro Atlanta, and Cobb County is included in a hazardous weather outlook that will be in effect for most of today.
At 10:30 a.m. the National Weather Service office in Peachtree City issued the outlook, which includes most of metro Atlanta and a good portion of north and central Georgia.
The outlook includes information about potential severe weather, including thunderstorms and the possibility of tornadoes.
Tornado watches and warnings have been in effect in various areas of Georgia this morning. High winds and storms have been reported in Bremen, as that weather system headed east toward metro Atlanta.
The NWS said that in the outlook area, an isolated severe storm is possible, as are high winds and isolated tornadoes.
Between an inch and two inches of rain also is expected to fall, causing the possibility of flooding in some areas.
Thursday and Friday will see sunshine, but a rainy weekend is in the forecast.
This week is Weather Preparedness Month in Georgia. A scheduled statewide tornado drill scheduled for close to noon today has been postponed to Friday because of the current weather conditions.
