A cold front will approach north Georgia Thanksgiving morning with a line or broken line of rain and thunderstorms. This will push through the metro and into central Georgia during the afternoon. A few thunderstorms could become strong to severe with a risk for locally damaging wind gusts. A brief, weak tornado can also not be ruled out.
