GAINESVILLE, Ga. -- The soggy Mother's Day weather may have been bad news to moms across the state, but it was good news for north Georgia's Lake Lanier.

The wet weather helped push the lake's level to almost 1,065 feet - just six feet below full pool level.

More rain and a possibly a thunderstorm or two are on the way. The wet front could bring heavy rain and shows that could linger into Wednesday night.

I found this article on Space.com and thought you would enjoy it!

An enormous sunspot group has taken shape on the surface of the sun, hinting that our star may soon start spouting off some powerful storms.

First and foremost we have strong storms across N Georgia tonight. As of 1am nothing is severe, but don't be surprised if another warning pops up tonight..... That last storm in Forsyth and Hall was on its way down when the NWS issued the warning, I doubt there will be any reports of damage from it. We can expect storms to continue to propagate towards the south tonight, but the main source of energy is now gone.... Which is what this blog is all about.

Gust Front / Outflow Boundary

This is at 12:45. Notice how much weaker the storms are behind the gust front

Strong storms continue across parts of N Georgia. Right now the strongest storms are located in Paulding and Douglas counties. There is also a strong storm that just popped up in N Fulton county by Dunwoody and Sandy Springs. The only reports we have been getting have been from some small hail and heavy rain. Other than that the only other threat from these storms will be lightning. Motion is towards the SE at around 25 mph and shold start to wind down once the sun starts to go down.

We will continue to monitor the storms this afternoon and let you know through the blog what is going on. For more updates follow me on facebook and twitter:

Atlanta Weather | Strong T-Storms this Afternoon

We had a few counties under a severe t-storm warning earlier this afternoon, since then it has expired. We will continue to see strong t-storms developing in the north sections of the state and move towards the SE at around 25mph. One strong cell is moving towards Gwinnett county that cold contain some small hail and gusty winds. Other areas of strong t-storms include west Cobb county, movement on that one is towards the SE at around 25mph. Any storms that pop up this afternoon could be severe, but the main threat will be only hail and wind.
