A day after storms left damage across parts of northeast Georgia, forecasters say there's a chance for more of the same today. A strong thunderstorm that rumbled through Athens late Wednesday afternoon brought down a big tree at the intersection of Morton Road and Charles Drive on Athens’ east side.

Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan said the chance for showers begin this morning and more rain could fall later this afternoon.
Heavy rain and lightning will be possible for some today.
"I do expect some showers and storms and those will increase through the afternoon," Monahan said.
Temperatures will remain in the low 90s throughout the weekend, with rain chances increasing a bit Saturday. More scattered storms are expected for the beginning of next week.
