Understanding the Weather Threats

Georgia and Alabama face a unique fall weather pattern characterized by the potential for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency has marked November 6 as Fall Severe Weather Preparedness Day, emphasizing the need for storm readiness in late fall. This secondary peak in severe weather can bring powerful winds, hail, and heavy rains, posing risks to roofing structures across the region. Currently, North and Central Georgia, along with parts of Alabama, are under watches for storms, with alerts for potential flash flooding and gusty winds forecasted to last throughout the month.
