Storms will begin to fire up during the afternoon, continuing through the evening and into the overnight hours. The severe risk for Middle Georgia remains a Level 1 “Marginal” risk, however it now only includes the southwestern third of the region. This risk zone is due to a slim risk for brief spin-up tornadoes.

Tropical Depression Seven is still spinning slowly off the west coast of Africa. It may become Tropical Storm Gordon tonight. Two areas are being monitored in the Tropics for potential development as well. While neither one has promising odds, area B will likely be a factor in keeping the Peach State cloud and wet this weekend.
