**Severe Weather Batters North Georgia, More Storms Expected Through Tuesday**

**ATLANTA, GA** – North Georgia residents are bracing for another round of severe weather after a weekend of intense storms that brought tornado warnings, damaging winds, hail, and widespread power outages. The threat of severe weather is expected to linger through Memorial Day and into Tuesday.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until midnight for numerous counties across the region, including Gwinnett, Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Cherokee, and Bartow. Overnight, the area experienced multiple Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, including a potentially-tornadic thunderstorm cell moving into DeKalb and Gwinnett counties. Earlier on Sunday, Tornado Warnings were issued for Bartow, Gordon, Floyd, Walker and Chattooga counties.

North Georgia EMC and Georgia Power are reporting outages affecting hundreds of customers, and crews are working to restore power.

While the risk of tornadoes has decreased, forecasters warn of damaging winds up to 70 mph, moderate hail, intense downpours, and potential localized flooding. The next line of storms is expected to impact the Atlanta metro area between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m., with peak intensity likely after midnight.

Another wave of severe weather is possible Monday night, with the strongest storms expected between 9 p.m. and midnight, potentially continuing into early Tuesday morning.

Most of Georgia is under a Level 1 (Marginal Risk) for severe weather, with parts of west and east Georgia at a Level 2 (Slight Risk).

“We’re urging residents to remain vigilant and take precautions,” said a spokesperson for the National Weather Service. “Monitor weather updates, have multiple ways to receive alerts, and avoid outdoor activities during active warnings.”

Despite the unsettled weather, a brief break in the rain is possible late Monday morning through early afternoon. Daytime highs will remain in the low 80s, with overnight lows in the upper 60s.
