Atlanta is dealing with extreme heat Saturday, and storms might develop later in the day. WSB-TV said residents are facing both very high temperatures and the possibility of severe storms. Georgia fans in Athens had to endure it as well ahead of the Bulldogs season opener.
The Atlanta Police Department still advised people to get out and experience Dragon Con and the Atlanta Beltline. Officials did not tell people to stay inside. They framed the holiday weekend as a time to see what the city has going on.
