The biggest risk today is damaging the winds, according to Meteorologist, extreme weather team 2 Katie Walls.
My biggest concern is the damaging winds in the few stronger storms that are developing. It can rain up to 1 inch of rain today. The risk of flooding is low, but plugged drains (especially in case of recent leaf fall) could create puddles of water. The risk of tornado is low pic.twitter.com/yZEsRHGAaY

High wind shear and low instability along the LA line now – very little instability is needed, however, for severe storms.
In North Georgia, the atmosphere is stable at the moment.
