Detectives releasing the new pictures
that you see on your screen here,
hoping to identify people who were

outside Cascade skating rink.
Police say Deshaun was an innocent bystander.
Police and school officials in LaGrange
are implementing new safety measures
at high school game after a team was
killed at a popular kid hangout spot.
15 year old Quindarius Woodard
was shot last Saturday.
As of now,
investigators believe there were

stemmed from two groups fighting.
Now there's two new policies

One city leader is concerned over plans
to scale back Sweetwater 420 fest.
It has moved from Centennial
Olympic Park to Sweetwater.
Brewery City Council President Doug
Shipman says organizers made the change
so they could ban guns and weapons,
but he says scaling down the
festival is a huge economic loss.
Also new this morning,
2 Clark County schools will
be renamed to honor the first
black teachers in the district.
The school board voted last
night to rename Alps Rd.
Elementary to Betty Henderson Holston
Elementary and to change Chase Street
Elementary to Johnny Lay Burkes Elementary.
The two were among A5 teachers to
integrate the district back in August.
In 1966, the board has not yet decided
on a date for when the changes will happen.
That was a look at your top headlines.
All right.
A Friday wait, a Friday,
way to end of the week.
Yeah, that typically happens,
doesn't it,
Chesley?
It does. It does.
And because we had such a
beautiful start to the week,
we had plenty of sunshine around.
Those warm temperatures, spring like air.
Now we're soggy.
We got the clouds in place.
It was still warm yesterday we
got up close to 70 degrees.
Today, a little bit cooler and some
cooler air starting to move into the area.
We have a front that's just
about stalled on top of us.
Now you get always riding along that
so it's gonna keep the chance for
the rain isolated like what you're
seeing right here in the forecast.
At least about 1:00 o'clock this afternoon.
Very isolated right now down through Jackson
Griffin over toward Concord and Barnesville.
You just have some isolated
showers this morning.
Going to hold on to the threat for the
isolated showers through about noon today.
One o'clock 52 degrees will
be a temperature by then.
Cloudy skies as we head toward the evening.
You drive home should be drier but
we'll still be very great looking.
You're looking at 58 for
the high temperature again,
yesterday we got up to 69.
Today a good 10 degrees cooler than that.
And the winds will be light side,
but they'll start to pick up tomorrow.
Rain comes back to especially
by the afternoon on Saturday.
We'll linger right on into Sunday morning,
but with some cooler air coming in around.
An area of low pressure on the
backside of that could see that
rain begin to mix with some snow,
especially in North Georgia Stream.
North Georgia.
We're not looking at much
in the way of accumulation,
but something we'll have to keep an
eye on as that system moves through.
Should your eye out by Sunday afternoon,
it's going to set us up for
sunshine returning to the area by
Monday and Tuesday of next week.
Tuesday, by the way,
Valentine's Day,
that stationary boundary just
about on top of us.
Little ways riding along that so
we're gonna hold on to the threat of
rain at least through noon today.
You'll see it here on the forecast
track model isolated showers at best.
I think the heavy rain will
stay down into the central and
southern portions of the state.
The rest of us clouds are thick too.
Wake up tomorrow morning
with mostly cloudy skies.
There may be some rain on the South side.
It will make its way further
off to the north.
So everyone about just about
gets wet by Saturday afternoon.
That rain will be heavy at times
in the wee hours of the morning.
On Sunday you'll notice some mixing
taking place now whether or not
that's reaching the ground as snow.
Will will rain the sea.
I think a lot of that will begin to melt
even if it does make it to the ground.
It will stick around at
least through about 6:00 AM,
seven AM before it wraps up and gets out of
the way. And so we're not looking at much
in the way of accumulation because that the
mixing that will take place with any rain,
of course that keeps totals
low and also the ground warm.
So anything that reaches the ground won't
stick, it'll melt and plus we'll get the
sunshine as we head into the afternoon.
So here's what we're looking
at towards the weekend.
That rain during the afternoon on
Saturday will be soggy day for us.
Look at an early morning rain with a
snow mix on Sunday and then it gets
out of the way by the afternoon.
In light accumulations,
if we get any at all.
Temperatures will be cool through
the weekend but will warm up
nicely as we head into next
week. Continuing your 11
minutes of nonstop news
with a developing story.
One Georgia lawmaker wants to ease
up on speeders in school zones.
His proposal would reduce fines by 90%,
but critics say it puts kids at risk.
In recent years,
the number of school zone cameras have
increased all over Metro Atlanta.
Snapshots of tag numbers lead to fines,
but state Representative Jason Ridley says
he's her complaints from drivers who say.
The fines and fees are just too much.
The fine is now $75.
Representative Whitley wants that to be $10.
Anyone caught on camera illegally passing
a school bus currently faces a $250 fine,
but really wants that to be $10 as well.
Critics say those low fines offer
no deterrent for drivers in areas
where a lot of kids cross the street.
Right now,
preparations are underway for
this year's Super Bowl game,
but there's so much fun to be had
before the game ever gets started.
Jay Gray is live for us this
morning with a look, yeah,
and we're sure the anticipation
for the big game is building.
You can build the energy in the room.
Yeah, no question.
It's building Adriana, Cheryl,
and we're inside the locker
room here at the experience.
Take a look.
Kyle Pitts and his locker set up,
so this is something that fans
can come and get a look at.
All the stars of the NFL
are inside this locker room,
and it's just part of the experience here.
There's so much to do,
so many interactive exhibits,
so much fun to be had here.
Hundreds of thousands will pour through the
NFL experience before the Super Bowl here.
It's really at the center of.
All the hype and ohh yeah
there is a game on Sunday.
But remember ladies,
most of those who show up here in
Phoenix and more than 100,000 will
make the trip don't have a ticket.
They'll never go inside the game,
so they'll be spending time in
places like the experience.
Just taking in all that football
has to offer at the end of what's
been a wild season ladies.
Alright, thanks a lot Jay. Look
for some eagle gear for me. Alright.
We're looking at noon today.
We'll still have a few sprinkles, leftover
temperatures right around 52 degrees.
We're gonna remain in
the 50s for highs today.
So it will be cooler out there.
Looking at 58 NW winds about 8 mph.
Cloudy skies when you're driving
home today by 6:00 o'clock.
OK, looking at temperatures
right around 54 degrees.
Going to remain cloudy through
tomorrow morning and then the rain
comes back to us by the afternoon.
And then a rain,
snow mix possible early Saturday morning.
That'll be mainly in the
North Georgia back. We told you.
We tell you about a new Chick-fil-A.
Sandwich and so promise fulfilled.
It's a cauliflower sandwich so
that if if you don't eat chicken,
you can still enjoy a little Chick-fil-A.
We want chicken.
Yeah, my husband will love the
cauliflower Super Bowl weekend healthier.
Add it to your Super Bowl menu.
Everybody have a great weekend.
We'll see you back here Monday morning.
