Atlanta police tell us the call
initially came in around 7:30 AM Sunday

Not far from the intersection on Lenox Rd.
Preliminary evidence reveals a newborn
was sleeping with other childre,
which may be to blame for the baby's death.

Jim.
And that was look at your top
headlines. All right, Chesley,
we need to grab the umbrella on
the way out the door this morni.
You're absolutely right about t.
Look at that rain back off to the West of us.
It's making its way in and we'll continue
to do that as we head through the rest
of the morning and into early afternoon.
Now, not as widespread as what
we're seeing back off to the We,
but we will have some scattered showers or
isolated showers as we head through the day.
Clouds already in place, folks.
Temperatures down into the 50s n
a lot of spots will hit 60 by n,
65 degrees for an afternoon hig.
It's going to be on the cool sie
for us with the clouds around.
And rain can be coming more
isolated after about 3-4 o'cloc.
We'll drop back down to 63 degrs
by 7:00 o'clock tonight there's
been look at that rain.
It wasn't dense back off to the West,
especially over toward Mississippi and
now starting to lose some of its punch
as it's making its way over toward us.
Still very strong severe thunderstorms
and the southern portions of ths
system will which will make itsy
into the southern portions of our state
and down toward the Panhandle as well.
I don't think we'll see much in the way
of any severe weather at here at all.
Also pay attention to that front
down there to the southwest.
That's a warm front.
It's going to lift to the north.
As it does,
it will start to increase our temperature.
Despite the clouds,
despite the threat for rain,
we're going to see those temperatures
warm up starting tomorrow.
I think we'll be right near 80 degrees
for high temperature tomorrow.
Again,
there is the light green shade over us,
which means that general threat
for thunderstorms.
Most of your severe weather will
remain down here to the South.
It's at level 2 or a slight risk over
towards southern parts of Alabaa
and into the Panhandle of Flori.
Our rainy days will stick around tomorrow.
Cloudy skies.
It's a low threat for rain,
but at least it's there.
I think the driest of the week
will be on Wednesday.
That's the way it looks for now.
It's going to be my pick right there.
You're looking at the Thursday,
a 30% chance and then up into a
50% chance as we had into Frida.
Got a front that's going to be
coming our way.
So it will be a soggy Good Friday for us.
It looks like that wet weather is going
to stick around through the Easter weekend.
Here it is our forecast track m.
You can follow along with me with the time.
Right there at the top of the
screen shows the clouds in plac.
It comes that rain,
I think the heaviest of which
will be down to the South.
Now we'll have some scattered showers around.
Through early afternoon,
becoming a little bit more isold
after about two or three o'cloc.
So a few of us driving home will get a
dot or two on your windshield if you will.
Cloudy skies waking up tomorrow morning
we're going to see a 20% chance for an
isolated shower as we head through the day.
By Wednesday we'll start to notice those
clouds breaking down just a little bit.
I'll say partly to.
Mostly cloudy skies or a mix of
sun and clouds will be the call.
And because of the extra sunshine I think
that temperature will go on up a little bit.
So today 65 on the cool side 80 or at
least near 80 for your high on Tuesday,
Wednesday, my pick for the week,
85 for your high temperature,
partly sunny skies, the call.
Then here comes the rain for the
Braves as we have our opener,
home opener looking at 78 degrees and then
cooling down as we head into the weekend
and staying unsettled with the .
