From Chattooga County EMA Director Eddie Henderson:

 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.

.DAY ONE…TONIGHT…
…SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY FOR MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA
TONIGHT…

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED…
ISOLATED TORNADOES…DAMAGING WINDS…AND LARGE HAIL TONIGHT.

DISCUSSION…
A STRONG STORM SYSTEM CONTINUED TO DEVELOP OVER THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND WILL BRING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. A VERY STRONG SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
CENTER WILL MOVE FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE
TENNESSEE/KENTUCKY BORDER BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. AN ASSOCIATED
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL
GEORGIA TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. INSTABILITY AND VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION AND WILL BE ENOUGH FOR
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP…MAINLY ACROSS WESTERN
GEORGIA BETWEEN 11 PM TONIGHT AND 5 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING…AND
ACROSS EASTERN GEORGIA BETWEEN 5 AM AND NOON WEDNESDAY.

AT THIS TIME…THE MAIN CONCERNS WILL BE ISOLATED TORNADOES AS
WELL AS STRONG DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH ALTHOUGH THERE
IS A HAIL THREAT AS WELL. IN ADDITION…ANTECEDENT RAINFALL IN
COMBINATION WITH THE CHRISTMAS NIGHT STORM SYSTEM COULD LEAD TO A
FEW RIVERS MAINLY OVER NORTH GEORGIA REACHING BANK FULL. AS THIS
IS A DEVELOPING SITUATION PLEASE STAY TUNED TO THE LATEST UPDATES.
