ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been extended into parts of metro Atlanta as severe storms continue through north Georgia. The strongest storms are capable of producing 60mph winds and very heavy rain. We’ve already had numerous reports of trees down and power outages, and we expect those numbers to increase through the overnight hours.
