Claudette downs trees, power lines across metro Atlanta

ATLANTA — Claudette became a tropical depression on Saturday evening after lashing the Gulf Coast.

The storm produced heavy rain in parts of metro Atlanta and downed trees and power lines. At least one tree fell on a car on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, trapping a woman inside.

The storm also spawned several isolated tornadoes in south Georgia.

Claudette is expected to re-intensify into a tropical storm after it moves out of Georgia.

The storm should be out of the area by Sunday evening.

We’re updating the timing and what areas might see the most rain, for Channel 2 Action News at Noon.

Here’s what you need to know:

4-8 inches of rain are possible in some areas
Spotty rain showers continue Sunday afternoon

Updated track on still potential tropical cyclone 3 has shifted a little farther south, as expected.

This is why I’ve been keeping rainfall totals in 2-4” range and limiting tornado risk to areas well south of I-20.

We’ll keep watching. Still a very wet late Sat/early Sun! pic.twitter.com/zdlFKZIpWX
