Up to 1" of rain is forecast with this round of storms moving our way. The good news is that the system continues to weaken, but brief heavy rain is forecast, alongside gusty wind and lightning.

ATLANTA — A storm system that caused damage from Dallas, Texas to Alabama is weakening.

Storms moving into north Georgia will be capable of brief heavy rain, gusty wind and lightning throughout the evening into Sunday morning.

"Even though north Georgia has been removed from the severe weather risk, I do want you to stay weather aware," said Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Katie Walls.

Most of the severe weather threat will remain to the north and west of Georgia throughout the night.

Patchy dense fog is forming in northeast Georgia and will be a concern for drivers through the overnight period.

On Sunday, the potential for severe weather will move to the south of the Atlanta metro, mainly across central Georgia, stretching from Upson County to Lake Country, around Eatonton heading toward Augusta.

Parts of north Georgia could see upward of an additional inch of rain by Sunday evening, as the cold front moves through.

Temperatures will remain in the low 70s across the metro Sunday afternoon, despite the cold front. Lows will only dip to about 60 degrees.
