Today is the first day of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane season. Although there is a chance of below average tropical activity, all it takes is ONE storm for it to be a bad season.
If you haven't already, now is the time to prepare. Visit gema.georgia.gov/hurricanes for prep tips.

A moist environment over N GA supports high rain rates (1-2" /hour) which will lead to increased chances for localized flash flooding as multiple waves of rainfall move through through Monday eve. Please be mindful of the weather especially if you have any outdoor plans. #gawx
