So in your weather impact forecast, we're tracking still a couple of thunderstorms here over the Atlanta area. One of these right on top of Sandy Springs, man, we've been hearing all that heavy rain coming down, the rumbles of thunder outside. That's over the top side of the perimeter. Really from 285 and 85 all the way over to the other side where we get closer to Truest Park there. So heavy rain and lightning still a lot of that cloud of ground lightning. It's dangerous to be outside if you can hear that thunder. So move indoors a little bit uh for a while while the storm passes over. If you can hear that thunder outside, even if it's not raining Sandy Springs and down to Dunwoody as well. And then inside the perimeter, you notice downtown Connector though we're smooth sailing and dry all the way down to the airport. But if you're trying to travel home west of the city, there is another, another thunderstorm, heavy rain, a lot of cloud to grow and lightning. This is in near the Campbelton area. City of South Fulton in southern Fulton County. A lot of heavy rain and it stretches into Douglas County as well into Douglasville. And what's interesting is the thunderstorms we get this time of year, they kind of create a little bit of storm outflow. Some cool air rushes out of that sometimes that helps new storms form. And that's what I'm seeing unfold in Northern Carroll County near Villa Rica and also out towards her county as well. So we got a couple more thunderstorms in West Georgia develop, but a lot of us are starting to calm down. With the exception of that inside metro area, we're still getting the heavy rain live. Look right now up Georgia 400 at the top side of the perimeter, we're overlooking the King Queen Building. You can see the rain coming down. These storms are gonna calm down this evening. Then we do it all over again for the weekend. Each and every day. I will track a possibility of thunderstorms. Now, the timing of those storms, each day is not gonna be in the morning, it's mainly gonna be afternoon to evening time frame. So really between about one and eight o'clock in the afternoons and evenings, the impact will be these pop up storms. The nature of it will be some of us get the rain when it rains, it's gonna pour, we'll also get some lightning, some gusty winds, but not everybody will see the storm. So, what you need to do throughout this weekend is just keep your plans flexible. Keep an ear open for those rumbles of thunder. And when thunder roars go indoors, let's show you forecast track tomorrow morning. We will start with some areas of fog in places that get storms this evening. After a mild start in the seventies, temperatures warming up close to the mid and upper eighties by noon. So I think we're going to be good to go for morning tailgating or the start of a finishing up round two, starting round three over at East Lake Golf Club tomorrow as we get into the afternoon though. Here we go. It's not widespread but pop up showers and storms mid afternoon. Those will last all the way through about sunset and then they will start to calm down. So a couple of these could still be out there as we are starting the Georgia Tech and Georgia State game tomorrow evening. Straight storm possible as you're tailgating and then as we get into that game, temperatures falling back from the eighties into the seventies. So over the weekend, each and every day will bring an opportunity for showers and storms. A lot of us though. I think we're going to squeeze by just fine and dry throughout the holiday weekend. We'll keep those temperatures in the nineties for now as we get into next week, though, a little taste of all coming in, we'll see those highs dropping to the low eighties starting on Tuesday. All right. So the bottom line is, everybody just needs to make sure that they stay weather aware. Keep that at 1111 at handy for whatever you have a way to get warnings as you're outside. And that way, you know, when you need to move inside. All right, Melissa. Thank you so much.
