A severe thunderstorm storm watch was issued for north Georgia early Friday morning but expired at 5:00. Some areas were also under a severe thunderstorm warning - including Gainesville and surrounding areas - for a time.
There were some downed trees in northeast Georgia but no injuries have been reported as a result of the storms.
As the rain moved out of north Georgia and to the southeast, the weather service issued a wind advisory for most of the state for gusts up to 35 miles-an-hour until late Friday afternoon.
