Strong Tornadoes, 74MPH Winds May Slam GA In Severe Storms: Timeline

NWS meteorologist Sam Marlow reported that strong to severe storms, part of a larger weather event impacting the eastern U.S., are expected to attack Georgia, with the most significant risk extending from Blairsville to Athens down through Macon and possibly into Tifton and Albany, anticipated to begin around 8 p.m.
The storms are expected to bring winds that can exceed 58 mph across north and most of central Georgia, potentially downing power lines and trees and tossing lawn furniture.
Hail exceeding one inch may occur, and there is a risk of strong tornadoes.
Marlow advised residents to have multiple ways to receive warnings, extra charged batteries, and a safe place to go in case of severe weather, while also mentioning that winds could reach 30-35 mph on Sunday afternoon.
The storm risk is classified as level 4 out of 5, with Saturday's risk shifting into the Deep South, potentially forming supercell thunderstorms capable of wind damage, hail, and strong tornadoes, and on Sunday morning, what remains of Saturday's storms will move through the Carolinas.
