The risk for severe weather in metro Atlanta diminished Saturday morning, but areas of south Georgia could still see intense storms.

Rain is expected to taper off in the early afternoon and storms will return later into the afternoon and evening, Burns said.

The greatest severe weather threat is focused to our south. Locally our threat has been reduced a bit. We have a level 1 threat north of I-20, and a level 2 threat south for isolated severe storms developing this afternoon. I'll have updates on Channel 2 and WSB Radio. pic.twitter.com/Od9I8pyCjM
