Noon We are tracking storm damae
across metro Atlanta following
rounds of heavy rain overnight.
Let's take a live look right
now toward downtown Atlanta.
That's all your left.
And you can see the damage at te
BP station in Cherokee County t.
Actually, it's flip flop there.
You see that damage that happen.
A lot of people waking up to
see scenes just like this,
the pillars holding it almost bent in half.
Take a look at this video just o
The Newsroom of the Winds and Bogart,
GA That's right outside of Athens last night.
You can see and hear the wind
whipping around there in several
dark clouds over those homes.
Georgia Power says more than 410
customers are still without power right now.
We have team coverage for you.
Bo Beth Yates is in Forsyth
County where major power outages
impacting people who live there.
But let's kick it off with
meteorologist Melissa Nord becae
we also have another chance for
a new round coming today.
Melissa.
Absolutely
Aisha. Later on this afternoon we will
track another chance of severe storms.
You can see that cluster,
we call it a meso scale convective system
that moved through the area yesterday.
Widespread severe storms in the
northeast side of the metro wins
as high as nearly 70 mph there.
In downtown Athens and we still have,
as Aisha mentioned,
10s of thousands of customers that are in
the dark still as the temperatures heat up.
But later on this afternoon,
with the front slowly moving
through our area,
we have the potential for another round of
some scattered showers and thunderstorms.
The storms today might not be
quite as widespread as yesterda,
but you saw that yellow color on the map.
That's the level 2 risk of sevee
weather and that's for the nortn
side of the metro down to the Sh
and E level one thread over tow.
Northeast Georgia and those few
counties that saw the core of tt
hardest damage yesterday aftern,
not much happening right now
on satellite and radar.
We had some scattered showers ad
thunderstorms earlier this morn.
Those have since dissipated and now we wait.
We see the cloud cover starting to thin out.
The temperatures are going up,
the humidity is high,
and that is going to help fuel
some more storms later on.
Today.
Currently in Atlanta with that
partly sunny sky overhead,
it's 88 degrees,
but you see that feels like temperature.
It's 96 in fact on the South sif
town where the feels like temperatures
are even higher that's where I expect
the heat advisory to run in effect this
afternoon for about Putnam County and
out towards the South and West of that.
So it's mostly Macon,
GA market we're dealing with th.
But 96 it feels like in Atlanta right now,
91 in Covington,
96 in Peachtree City.
You notice how the temperatures
and the feels like temps are
not as high up to the north,
a little bit more cloud cover ws
there earlier this morning and
the fronts draped on top of us
we won't quite reach as high of.
Switchers there later on this afternoon,
but look what happens as we
recharge the atmosphere.
By 3:00 o'clock this afternoon.
Some scattered showers and
thunderstorms develop.
They will be around for that
evening commute today,
even if it's not nearly as
widespread as this model is sho.
Any of these storms that pop up
could have some damaging winds,
some small hail on them in addition to
that heavy rain and lightning threat.
So rain chance today,
30 to 40% chance the scattered
nature of these storms that I'm
expecting for the evening commu,
but we could see some of these .
And strong and severe once agai.
Now by the second-half of the weekend,
rain chances out of the picture,
we'll talk about that,
what I'm expecting for tomorrow
morning getting you out of the .
Coming up in just a bit.
Aisha, Melissa, thank you.
Check out some of the damage in
North Forsyth storm tracker.
Tasha Cohen sent us these photod
you can see several trees came n
and just all that debris left behind.
11 alive is Bob Beth Yates joing
us right now from Forsyth County
where there is a water issue rit
now for people who live in the .
So we've kind of witnessed A
domino effect with these storms.
That's exactly right. Ayesha Foh
County Water and Sewer Department says
they are temporarily unable to
pump water out to residents.
And I want to take a step out so
you can take a look behind me.
Now it's kind of small
behind those tree lines,
but that is one of their water tanks.
They say it's actually full of water,
but without power, they can't get the
water from those tanks to resid.
Now, according to officials,
yesterday's storms left the Forsyth County
Water and Sewer Department facility with.
Out power and temporarily unable
to produce water and send water,
produce clean water and send tht
water from the plant to residen.
Now that that is why they are requesting
that just for an emergency purps
people only use water if needed.
Literally emergency purposes only while
they wait for the water to be restored.
Now take a listen as we talk to the city
manager what he had to say about this issue.
This is not just our residential customers,
but it's residential, commercia,
it's all of our customers. So.
So the ask is if you don't needo
use the water then don't use it.
Today's not the day to do that.
We feel confident within that 24
hour time frame we will have 10%
restored power from Georgia Pow.
Our partners at Georgia Power have been
great thinking outside the box and and
giving us a solution to get that power back.
Now that solution is bringing in generators.
They say they will bring in generators to get
the power back up and running at their plant.
It's important to note that the generator
solution is plan D They say their Plan A.
B&amp;C have already failed,
but they say they're confident
with the next 24 hours they will
have water back up and running.
And they're asking residents rit
now to limit their use because they're
getting water to homes and businesses.
But that is water is being
redirected from Cummings,
the City of Cummings and Fulton County
sending it back to you guys in the studio.
