Areas farther east, including Gainesville, Dahlonega, and Jasper, are also shown within the path of the projected line as it advances overnight into Tuesday morning.
Storm Prediction Center Places Slight Risk Across the Region
The Storm Prediction Center is watching a Slight risk of severe weather in connection with this potential squall line, aligning with the low to moderate confidence meteorologists currently hold in the feature’s development.
Confidence in the exact timing, intensity, and coverage remains a work in progress, with forecasters noting the model has been consistent enough since Friday to keep the threat on the radar heading into Monday night.
Atlanta Metro and Surrounding Communities Fall Within Projected Path
The projected track carries the potential squall line directly toward the Atlanta metro area, including South Fulton, Carrollton, and Newnan, along with Lawrenceville and Athens to the east.
