Rain, High Winds Heading This Way

Along with predicted showers and possibly severe thunderstorms this afternoon, the National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for many Georgia counties, including Northeast Cobb.

The storm, which is forecast to move on overnight, could bring a quarter-inch to a half-inch of rain.

Winds are predicted to be 20 to 25 mph, with some gusts climbing to 35 mph.

“The strong winds may knock down tree limbs and displace small objects,” the National Weather Service advisory says. “Secure loose outdoor items. In addition, driving may become difficult, especially in high-profile vehicles. Use caution while driving.” 

The wind advisory is in effect until 7 p.m.
