Speaking with your 11
minutes and nonstop news,
Atlanta fire officials are working
to find out what caused the fire
that damaged a historic black
Funeral Home on Auburn Ave.
The Cox Brothers Funeral Home played a
key role during the civil rights movement.
Now this is what is left behind here.
Crews are now working around
the clock to clean it all up.
The Funeral Home,
which was started by a mother and her
two sons 15 years after the Civil War.
It was originally located on Pryor St.
before finding a home on Auburn Ave.
This was also the first Funeral Home
in Atlanta to use a motorized hearse.
The Atlanta Fire Department says no
injuries were reported in the fire and
the cause is still under investigation.
No closed door meetings and no negotiations.
That's what more critics of
the public safety training.
Center are saying this morning
Atlanta University Center students
say they rejected Mayor Dickens
invitation for a closed door meeting
and now they are planning a protest
against what's being called Cop City.
It's happening tonight on Moorhouses campus.
The Georgia Supreme
Court taking up a big case surrounding
guns on college campuses back in 2017,
state lawmakers removed colleges and
universities from designated school
safety zones where weapons are banned,
5 university system of
Georgia professors say.
Their safety is at risk,
and that move violated the Board
of Regents Constitutional Authority
over the university system.
State leaders are trying to pass
new protections to keep older
Georgians from getting scammed.
The legislation would help
Georgians over the age of 65 or
anyone 18 and older who is either
mentally or physically challenged.
It would allow investment firms and
advisors to delay any suspicious
transactions by at least 15 business
days while they investigate.
And that was look at your
Tuesday morning headlines. Good
morning, Jessica. Cool. Start
making way for a great afternoon.
It is gonna be a beautiful
afternoon temperature wise.
Now it's not gonna be the prettiest
of days like we had yesterday we had
an 11 on the Waze ometer today at 10.
Thanks to a few extra clouds it's
gonna be moving into the area now.
62 degrees will be your temperature by noon
on our way to 68 for an afternoon high.
That's right.
Those temperatures are approached
the 70 degree mark.
Back down to 60 by 7:00 o'clock
tonight as you walking the dog still
got partly cloudy skies out there.
A few rain drops back off to our
north and West way out there.
We're not worried about anything here,
at least for the next couple of days.
Back in fact,
we're gonna watch this system
as it starts to intensify a bit
as it moves into the southeast.
Today could bring some severe
weather down into the Houston area.
There is a level one threat there
marginal risk for severe weather.
The rest of us stay on the dry side.
Our clouds will increase.
Tomorrow the severe weather threat grows.
As you can see that yellow indicates
a slight risk or a level 2 threat
out of a possible 5.
From Memphis all the way down to New Orleans,
that level one threat extends
into Birmingham.
Now as it moves further to the east,
it will weaken.
And so you just see the light
green area over the North Georgia
area at level one threat.
It's down down South into the central
and southern portions of the state
for us showers for the most part,
maybe a clap of Thunder or two.
That's what we'll receive starting
on Thursday morning as the system
gets a little bit closer.
Today though,
our forecast track model shows
will be in and out of the clouds.
Today.
They're thin, so we'll get plenty
of sunshine through the afternoon.
It won't be until tonight that we'll
start to see the clouds increase.
In fact, we'll start you off on
Wednesday morning with mostly cloudy skies.
There may be a stray sprinkle
or two in some spots.
That will be it.
Not all of us will see the rain
because it's only a 20% chance
and that will be through the day.
Most of us which just remain
on the cloudy side.
Now,
Thursday morning we start
off with mostly cloudy skies.
Here comes that line of
showers and thunderstorms.
But again,
it will be weakening as it moves towards us.
So just a few scattered
showers will be around,
right on into into the from the
morning into the afternoon.
I think by late afternoon,
according to our model,
it begins to dry out,
get drier air working in here.
But I think there'll be a few
more clouds around for your.
Friday,
although we will be a little
bit drier on Friday,
and those temperatures will start
to cool off a bit as we head
toward the upcoming weekend.
Until then, enjoy this warm up.
71 degrees will be your high temperature
on Wednesday under mostly cloudy skies.
66 on Thursday with some
showers around the area.
20% chance will linger into early
Friday morning, but for the most
part we'll begin to clear that out.
We'll keep the mix of sun and
clouds in place 63 degrees for the
high and then really feeling the
cold as we head into the weekend.
36 degrees start on Saturday morning.
We'll only make it to 48 for the afternoon.
High 29 degrees.
But on Sunday we'll rebound a little
bit with the sunshine at 55 degrees.
We're happening today. Governor
Brian Kemp staying committed to a
campaign promise to continue cracking
down on gangs to keep kids safe.
He's hosting a meeting
for his anti gang Network
11 lives. Molly Oak joining us now.
Molly today's meeting comes as
Georgia lawmakers are pushing for
tougher sentences for gang members.
This morning the governor and
Attorney general will be talking
about anti recruitment efforts.
This comes on the heels of a bill
making its way through the legislature.
Take a look at your screen yesterday.
Senators advance that Bill which would
crack down on gang related crimes.
It would add a mandatory 5 years to
prison sentences for anyone convicted
and 10 years for people convicted of
recruiting minors and it passed on a
6 three party line vote and now moves
to the full Senate for more debate.
Now this bill comes from a continual
push from Governor Brian Kemp to
fight gang activity in the state.
Just a few months ago we got new
details from the governor on the
GBI Gang Task Force which reported
it investigated nearly 450 gang
related cases and charged.
More than 170 gang members.
Today's Georgia Anti Gang Network meeting
should run from 9:00 to 10:00 AM.
Back to you all, Molly.
Thank you.
New
this morning. Families in their
little ones will stroll over to
Georgia's capital and rally around
issues impacting our little ones.
Liza, Lucas here and Liza.
That conversation with lawmakers today,
it is also going to focus on child care.
That's right.
We all know cost and accessibility.
They have long been barriers to
finding good quality childcare.
But advocates tell me the pandemic
really has strained the system now.
Advocates say childcare issues
in Georgia are now at a crisis
level and there's a need for more
affordable spots for kids to
help parents get back to work,
plus a call for higher wages and
support for childcare workers
who care for these children
and their most formative years.
Time between a child is born to
they're about three years old
is the time where they build a
foundation for later learning,
and that can only happen in
high quality environments,
but those have to be affordable for families.
So again,
parents are going to join the push today.
Asking lawmakers for more
support and more funding.
And they're also going to talk about
things ranging from teacher salaries to
improving access to paid family leave. Again,
strolling Thunder kicks off this morning.
Liza, thank you.
We are counting down to the
state of the Union address.

We are looking at some clouds
moving into the area today,
but it's not gonna take
away from our sunshine.
Plus it's gonna be warm out there.
62 degrees will be your afternoon
temperature or temperature by noon.
The high today will be up to 68.
So it's gonna be a warm day with
southerly winds about 8 mph by
6:00 o'clock you're driving home.
You're looking at 64 degrees
with partly cloudy skies.
We'll see the clouds thinking for
tomorrow get up to 71 degrees

only a 20% chance of the rain.
Better chance coming to us by with a
