Chance of Severe Thunderstorms Threatens First Food Truck Alley

Alpharetta's first Food Truck Alley is in jeopardy because showers and thunderstorms are in Thursday's forecast.

Special Events Manager Kim Dodson said, "Generally the weekly event will be considered a rain or shine event, but with the 90 percent threat of thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds we need to consider the safety of all."

A decision will be made Thursday morning on whether the event will be held. Dodson said that decision will be posted on the city's website and event Facebook page by 9 a.m., which will be standard policy moving forward for the weekly food truck event.

The National Weather Service has posted a hazardous weather outlook advisory for the area on Thursday afternoon and evening. The forecast for the afternoon calls for wind gusts as high as 20 mph. The chance of precipitation is 90 percent, and actually rises to 100 percent in the evening.

Alpharetta-Milton Patch also will give an update on the city's decision.

Food Truck Alley will be a weekly gathering that will take place on Old Roswell Street with a variety of rotating food trucks and music each week. Approximately 6-8 food trucks are expected, with seating available on the street.

Alpharetta Food Truck Alley is presented by the City of Alpharetta and Fork In the Road, LLC.  Our live music sponsor is presented by Music Matters.

Parking will be available in three locations:

• Downtown parking lot on Roswell Street;
• Milton Center;
• PAL parking lot.
