The chart above is the surface weather map for late today.

The risk of LARGE hail or a tornado is low today but not zero.

Damaging winds are the higher threat from thunderstorms today and early evening.

However, widespread damage is NOT expected, as of now. Stay tuned for updates in case that changes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A stray morning shower is possible but most of us will stay dry until later today.

The chance of a shower or thunderstorm starts going up during the lunch hour and goes higher after roughly 3 PM.

Unseasonably cool weather follows for tomorrow.

Then the weekend will have only a few clouds with a big warm-up to near-record highs by Sunday.

It just looks to me that the best combination of atmospheric parameters are out of phase for most of Metro Atlanta with this system i.e. instability, helicity for rotating updrafts, highest wind shear etc. IF that changes we will find ourselves placed under a WATCH of some kind late today.
