Stormy Weather on Tuesday
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, numerous thunderstorms are expected to develop across the Atlanta metro area and surrounding counties like Fulton, Clayton, and Coweta. Some of these storms could bring damaging wind gusts, small hail, and heavy rainfall, especially along major highways like I-75 and I-285.

There’s a 30% chance of storms on Wednesday, with localized higher rainfall amounts.
