A cold front will move through on Friday, bringing another round of storms with it. A Level 1 “Marginal” threat includes the entire region again. While the above mentioned hazards for Thursday will also be possible, a brief tornado could also end up in the mix on Friday. This weekend looks to continue the soggy pattern as Friday’s cold front stalls out and becomes stationary, keeping the wet conditions over the Peach State through Mother’s Day.
