It would not hurt to stay up later than normal Saturday or to turn up the volume for your weather alerts so that you wake up if a tornado watch or warning is issued for your area. Have a weather safety plan in place, as the severe storm threat will linger into early Sunday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory from 11am Saturday to 5am Sunday. Winds will be blowing in from the south at 10-20mph with gusts 30-40mph. The storms will also have strong winds with them. Be sure to secure anything in your yard that you don't want to blow into the neighbor's yard.

Severe storms, which potentially could include menacing tornadoes, are barreling toward Georgia today as much of the state braces for a heavy punch from Mother Nature by nightfall.
