"Severe Storm Risks: Atlanta and North Carolina Brace for Potential Tornadoes"

Severe Weather Team 2 is warning residents in metro Atlanta to be weather aware as a system capable of severe thunderstorms and brief, spin-up tornadoes is expected. The greatest risk for severe weather is in metro counties south of Interstate 20, with potential risks including damaging wind gusts, hail, and the possibility of tornadoes. Multiple school districts are closed ahead of the storms, and the severe weather risk is expected to end by sunset, followed by colder and drier weather moving in on Saturday.
