ATLANTA — Severe storms are expected to fizzle out throughout the evening, but afternoon storms left a destructive path across parts of the Atlanta metro.

Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brad Nitz tracked the storms throughout the evening on Channel 2 Action News at 4, 5 & 6, that brought down trees and power lines across north Georgia.

"We're seeing the dying now of the scattered showers and storms," Nitz said.

Nitz said the storms were part of a larger system that is over much of the deep South and we are expected to have similar weather over the next few days.
