Hours after storms rolled through counties south of Atlanta, another round rolled through the metro area Thursday night.

The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Cobb, Douglas and Fulton counties until 9:30 p.m. Minutes after that warning expired, warnings were issued for Coweta and Fayette counties. Strong winds and hail were possible.

Earlier Thursday afternoon, some trees were reported down in the Peachtree City area, including on Crosstown Drive, as a band of storms passed through the southern suburbs.

Showers and thunderstorms are possible metro-wide throughout the evening, according to Glenn Burns, Channel 2 Action News chief meteorologist.

There is a 50 percent of rain Friday afternoon, when high temperatures should reach the upper 80s to low 90s, Burns said.
