Georgia Weather Forecast: Storms Every Day

ATLANTA, GA — We hope you didn't get too used to those sunny days last week. This week in metro Atlanta, the summer storms will be back in force — with rain in the forecast every single day.

The National Weather Service warns that scattered thunderstorms throughout north and central Georgia can be expected Monday afternoon, into the evening. A few of those storms could be strong to severe, with gusty winds, frequent lightning and isolated flooding, says the NWS.

That's a pattern that could repeat a lot this week. Thunderstorms in the forecast will mainly be during the afternoon and evening hours and a few of them could be strong.
