Strong thunderstorms are possible overnight Sunday in north Georgia and most of Central Georgia, according to the National Weather Service.
In a posting on its Facebook page, the NWS office in Peachtree City says the greatest threat will likely come after 11:00, with storms moving across the region as early as 7:00 p.m. This includes "a line of showers and thunderstorms with low-end risk of damaging wind gusts and/or a weak, brief tornado." The greatest risk of damaging weather will be in Northwest Georgia.
The affected area is along and north and northwest of a line from Americus to Dublin to near Augusta.
