11 minutes of nonstop news starts now.
A traffic mess in De Kalb Count.
A crash is blocking a far left
lane I-20 westbound between
Panola Road and Wesley Chapel R.
You are backed up all the way
to Lithonia Industrial Blvd.
Jump on Covington Highway to
get around this red alert.
Just a few isolated showers
certainly possible by this morn.
We'll get your break by midmorng
in and later this afternoon.
Once we get into the daytime heating,
we can see about a 30% chance for another
isolated shower or thunderstorm to pop up.
Not nearly as widespread as we w
those showers yesterday. Pushing through
our area created a lot of damag.
There's a lot of trees down, li,
branches, maybe even in your ya.
Ariana Moniz is alive this morning to
show us damage in one particular area.
I think it's Lithonia.
Good morning, Ariana.
Good morning, Chesley.
Now that the sun is coming up,
we're getting a better look at w
strong last night's storm was.
Like here in Roger Lake Rd.
This is awful.
Lithonia Industrial Blvd.
As you can see the street just
hanging on this power line,
knocking out power to people in
this area and also blocking the
road off in both directions.
We also have video from last nit
when our crews first arrived hee
on the scene on Rogers Lake Rd.
We know Georgia Power, they were here,
but they were not able to
restore power to this area.
We were able to speak to a man and he tells
us he heard the moment that this tree fell.
He says that this ground is
saturated in the area and oak t,
they're pretty dangerous in this wooded area.
Now, we have seen cars try
to approach this road and
move through this tree,
but Georgia Power tells you that
you should always assume that aw
hanging power line is always li.
So please be careful as you're
traveling out this morning. Back
to you Ariana. Thank you.

And I'm Liza Lucas in the Lebann
Studio this morning, a wave of reaction
and emotion following an antisec
demonstration that took place outside
a Cobb County synagogue on Satu.
I just remember being astonished and,
like, shocked and feeling.
Completely lost.
Like this is not actually,
this can't be happening.
My kids were This is my place of worship.
That was Elana Clem,
who saw the demonstration up close at
the Habad of Cobb on Lower Roswell Rd.
In Marietta.
Protesters showed up with signs,
even waving Nazi flags.
Cobb County police say the same
group has traveled across the se
protesting at other synagogues,
including in Macon and Warner Robins.
Several local and state leaders,
including Governor Brian Kemp, weighed in,
condemning the actions of the protesters.

The fire damaged 10 units.
That was a look at your
Monday morning headlines.
Hoping for a little bit of a break today,
Chesley.
Yeah, we're not seeing
much of a break right now.
As far as the the the skies go,
we expected. Clouds to break up,
Get a little bit of sunshine in here.
Anywhere from partly to mostly sunny skies
will be our call for this after,
but there's still a threat for n
isolated shower or thunderstormt
as widespread as we saw it yesterday.
In fact, things have begun to
calm down greatly over our area.
We had a group of thunderstorms
up here to the north,
but they started to fade away a little bit,
and now they're pushing a little
bit further over toward the eas.
You can see our far eastern cous
now right up along the border te
between South Carolina and Geor,
experiencing a few of those sho.
Most of the thunderstorms are or
toward the east. Into South Carolina.
Temperature wise,
we're in the 60s Just about
everywhere you look 67 degrees.
McDonough Stockbridge,
the same Conyers area,
6566 in noon and Chattahoochee
Hills is 65 degrees.
64 Powder Springs Temple you'ret
66 as well as Acworth you're at6
degrees and Mapleton is 6567 degrees.
Over toward Tucker 68.
Downtown Atlanta East Point you're at 66.
This morning will heat up today close
to 90 degrees for an afternoon .
You what to wear?
Forecast calls for short sleeves of course,
but carry the umbrella with you just in case.
Just in case you get hit by
one of these showers now,
it's only a 30% chance,
which means only a few of us.
We'll see those showers a bit
breezy this afternoon as well.
Those winds start to pick up a little
bit above the 10 mile per hour range.
Even gusts will be a little
bit higher than that.
I think it stays breezy for the
next couple of days around here,
maybe even getting breezy or tomorrow
with the patches of a front thas
going to push through our area.
That front will appear to
the north of us now,
but that will move through and n
drier air back behind that willp
us on the high and dry side for.
Much of the week,
much of the work week,
but those temperatures,
that heat that's over there to e
West will be making its way toward us.
And so it's going to heat up around here.
Notice today the Storm Prediction Center
has placed the highest threat for severe
weather over into North Carolin,
into Virginia.
That level, it's a Level 3 thret
right there where you see the t.
The yellow tooth threat is over
into South Carolina,
North Carolina.
We have a level one threat or a
marginal risk for severe weathe.
It's a level one out of a possie
5 isolated.
Strong,
severe thunderstorms will be possible for us,
those that form OK And so we
watching for our model shows the
rain that's around this morning
pushes further off to the east
and even some breaks in the
clouds there as we head into early afternoon.
Once we get the 345 O'clock, an isolated
shower too could run through the area.
That's what we watching for.
I think the greatest threat a le
bit further down to the South o,
over toward the Macon area tomorrow morning.
Just a few clouds in the mornin.
And front passes through and bo,
we clear right on out.
We'll get the sunshine back in .
Temperatures near 90 degrees one
again for a high on your Tuesda.
Wednesday goes up a little bit by 91 for the
high temperature under mostly sunny skies.
And we clear all day long
for us on Wednesday.
In fact, again, dry for much of this week.
You got 90 today, 90 again tomo.
That's going to be my pick for the week
because I think it'll be the sunniest,
coolest.
Day of the week you're looking
at 91 degrees by Wednesday.
Thursday 94.
Going up to 96 by Friday.
We have a 20% chance for an isod
shower to move back into the forecast
area and I think that's when wel
start to see some of that humidy
begin to creep back up there as well.
Better chance for that rain comg
to us as we head into the weeke.
30% chance. Saturday 50% chance on Sunday.
Jerry, how's the roads?
Terrible
in De Kalb County. Major
problems out there due to a crah
that has a far left lane block.
This is I-20 westbound between Panola.
Road and Wesley Chapel.
You see authorities on the scene there.
The backup is now all the way
to Lithonia Industrial Blvd.
You're slow to 7 miles and hour.
You try to creep past this cras.
I-20 westbound between
Panola and Wesley Chapel.
Jump. On Covington Highway,
that will get you around this c.
Take you to 285 and take
you continuing on your way.
But take a look at that nearly
an hour now to get from Hwy.
138 in Conyers to the perimeter.
It's a little bit better over on the West
side of town as you travel in on I-20,
but you're slowed,
averaging only 43 miles an hour
as you try to make your way
in from the Douglasville area.
And we continue to deal
with this stubborn problem,
a tree down that has taken down
a traffic light and power lines
blocking the intersection of 17th St.
and West Peachtree.

This morning, metro Atlanta anil
shelters are dealing with overcrowding.
Captain Jody Turnipseed says
one big reason is hoarding.
The most recent case in Clayton County
brought in 18 dogs and a rabbit.
We have had to euthanize for spe
just to accommodate the hoarding case.
And in hoarding cases,
we have to maintain those animas

A lot of fans says they needed

We have partly the mostly sunny skies.
Winds will start to pick up a
little bit this afternoon as we,
reaching a high of near 90 degr.
There is a 30% chance for
an isolated shower too.
Maybe a thunderstorm.
A lot of us won't see that at a.
A lot of us will stay on the drier side,
but it will be warm out there.
Very warm as a matter of fact,
87 degrees for the high tempera.
Those 90s will stick around
for the rest of the week.
Next best chance for the rain doesn't come
until we get to the upcoming weekend.
Yet another tree
down causing massive problems.
This one is near the town
of Clarkston. North Indian
Creek at East Ponce.
Look at that tree blocking
almost the entire roadway there.
Chopper is over it and crews
have got that area of North
Indian Creek blocked off as they
try to clear up this incident.
It's just another one.
Another one. All right,
