The 11Alive Weather Impact Team has issued a Weather Impact Alert for tonight as they continue tracking a line of strong storms that could bring damaging winds to metro Atlanta and parts of North Georgia. The alert is in effect through 3 a.m. Monday.
The Storm Prediction Center has expanded the Level 2 (Slight Risk) zone to include some parts of northwest Georgia, which means there’s a heightened chance for strong to severe storms in that area overnight. The rest of metro Atlanta remains in a Level 1 (Marginal) risk for severe weather.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is now in effect for Floyd, Chattooga, Pickens, Bartow, Gordon, Gilmer, Fannin and Polk counties until midnight. That watch may be expanded to include more counties as the night progresses.
