Original story

Metro Atlanta and a large part of Northern Georgia threatens to forecast several rounds of strong storms to carry out the region to the memorial day and on Tuesday.

The first striker line started in North West Georgia on Saturday and brought gusty winds, hail and isolated tornado warnings. While the likelihood of tornados has decreased, harmful winds of up to 70 miles per hour, moderate hail and intensive downpours remain a serious problem. Localized floods are also possible in areas that are hardened by these systems.

Until Sunday evening, the national weather service released a severe storm warning for parts of the region until 7 p.m., and a heavy thunderstorm clock remains in force for Bartow, Polk and Pickens until midnight. This watch can be expanded depending on the development of the storm system.

Weather warning was also exhibited on Monday at 3 a.m., with forecasts being warned of dangerous overnight storms from the west. The next significant striker line is expected to influence cities such as Rome, Carrollton and Metro Atlanta between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m., whereby the peak intensity is likely after midnight.
