Wet start to Good Friday with squall line

The above European model simulated radar chart shows the squall line of showers and storms moving in from Alabama after midnight tonight.

The threat of at least a few isolated severe storms with hail and damaging straight line winds continues early Friday morning even though the risk looks higher to our West, South and East, especially the tornado risk. The tornado risk here is low but not zero.

ECMWF 8AM FRIDAY:

The QLCS squall line will move across the Metro Atlanta area during the pre-dawn hours through at least the first half of the Friday morning rush hour, if not a little longer.

The rest of the day on Good Friday could see some peeks of sun but also scattered showers and an isolated thundershower. Temperatures will be in the mid 60s to start the day but behind the cold front temperatures will be falling into the 50s late day and into the 40s at night.

An isolated light shower or drizzle possible Saturday and unseasonably cold with a high only in the 50s.

Clearing for Easter Sunday with morning temperatures of 40-44 for sunrise services but warming Sunday afternoon into the low to mid 70s with sunshine.
