A line of potentially damaging storms moving through Georgia has prompted the Storm Prediction Center to issue a severe thunderstorm watch for more than 7 million people in the state and South Carolina. The watch includes Atlanta and warns of the potential for damaging winds up to 70 mph and quarter-sized hail. While the primary threat is for damaging winds, an isolated tornado is also possible.
Storms with 60 mph winds have already triggered severe thunderstorm warnings to the west of Atlanta, indicating the severity of the weather system. Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
