The National Weather Service has already issued a Wind Advisory for most of Georgia from Friday at 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. for winds gusting up to 45 miles per hour.

The approach storms could also tap into even stronger and more damaging winds.

Friday's storms could be severe with damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.  

The timing of the strongest storms can still change, but the line of storms could make fast progress from west to east from late morning through late afternoon. 

Once the system is passed, we'll likely be clearing and dry across the metro Atlanta area before sunset Friday. 

The weekend is sunny, dry, and pleasant with highs in the 60s.

This is a developing weather system. Check back for updates and changes to the forecast as they become available.
