The beautiful weather we’ve had all week is going to change on Saturday in dramatic fashion.
The National Weather Service in Peachtree City said that much of North Georgia will be the path of a line of severe thunderstorms late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, including the possibility of tornadoes.
A hazardous weather outlook issued Friday said that Cobb is included in an area for severe weather that is expected to arrive by Saturday afternoon.
“All severe weather hazards including tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail are possible
with this event,” the NWS said in its forecast.
The chance of rain is 50 percent on Saturday afternoon, with thunderstorms most likely after 2 p.m. Highs will be in the high 70s.
That will increase to 100 percent chance of rain Saturday night, with winds gusting between 20-30 mph as well as lows around 60.
On Sunday, the chance of rain will lower to 30 percent, with a high around 70, as the storms move east. A 10 percent chance is in the forecast for Sunday night.
The weather will clear up into Monday morning, with sunny skies and highs in the low 60s on Monday, then highs in the 70s for most of the rest of next week.
