Yes, but right now the NWS/Local stations have the Rome area as the sweet spot. The NAM still has ATL north in the sweet spot, so who knows.

Just incredible how Zeta has defied so many expectations. Strengthening over cooler shelf waters, pulling northeast across the deep south while still very strong, plus how late in the season this is.
While the
sustained winds have been coming down, the satellite presentation is
actually not very degraded for a system that has been over land for
this long, and there have been reports of 100-mph wind gusts during
the past couple of hours.
Note that the wind gust factor for this hurricane is higher than
typical for a tropical cyclone, and that is reflected in the
Forecast/Advisory product.
PRESENT MOVEMENT...NE OR 40 DEGREES AT 31 MPH...50 KM/H

With such a rapid forward movement, I would think that this would enhance the winds significantly in the right front quadrant of this system.
Jesus the power outages are stacking quickly

Still sticking with original thoughts... the I-85 corridor between Mongomery and the Triad/Triangle... are in rude awakening tomorrow. Especially the Carolina's. Still think we have some sig gusts. Atlanta will have more tree damage/power outages because of population, pines, plus it's closer to the path. But I won't be shocked if there 1 million people without power sometime in between tonight/tomorrow. Stay safe tonight!
It's well over a million if you add in those in TX and OK with the winter storm. Mind blowing.
Yeah - thinking the Atlanta metro will get rocked pretty good. Going to be a lot of trees down and power outages
as for top gust - I’ll go 72mph at KATL

NHC track is back west and drops tropical storm wind probs down in much of NC and SC south of I-85. Went from a 50% chance here down to 10%.
I predict at least one location in GA will have a 75 mph gust.
Maybe so. That said, I’m noticing banding is decreasing on IR. Maybe starting transition?
It will increase the wind field even farther toward the East.
We are scared to death in the hallway. Trees down everywhere. My pear tree gone
