You're watching 11 Alive Morning News.
11 minutes of nonstop news starts now. First
of all, level live Morning News.
We do have the rain.
It's widespread on the outside.
The good news that should be in out of
the way as we head toward the afternoon.
I got the details for you coming up,
starting with this car
that crashed into a bakery overnight.
This is a Millie's French
Bakery in Cafe on Marietta St.
In northwest Atlanta, That's right.
In that W Midtown area,
we don't know exactly what caused the car
to lose control or if anyone was hurt,
but you see that tree went down as well.
And check this out.
In northwest Atlanta,
a tree fell on a home,
a massive tree right there
on the front of the house.
That happened near Charlotte Place
and Donald Lee Halliwell Pkwy.
We're told one woman was taken
to the hospital right now.
We're working to find out more about her
injuries, and if you know the area,
those two are really,
really close to one another.
Another became Longway following four.
This morning the document showing about
the arrests of South Fulton's Mayor
Ariana Manise is live in front
of City Hall with more on the
details these documents reveal.
Good morning, Ariana.
Good morning Cheryl and Aisha.
We're learning Mayor Khalif was
arrested and leased on Saturday for
trespassing at a home in Fairburn.
Now in a police report tied to his arrest,
it states that he was spotted walking
on private property at a home in
Cascade Palmetto Highway on Saturday
around 7:00 AM by the homeowner.
Now he reportedly proceeded to a
lake house on this property and the
homeowner then call police and ask.
He approached him order.
They put and that's when the mayor
allegedly told the homeowner,
you can't give me orders.
Do you know who the blank I am,
I am the mayor and I'll wait
for my police force to get here.
Now when police did arrive,
the mayor,
he told them that he knew he was
trespassing and he was at this home
because it was his stream property.
He also went on to say that the
homeowner was being aggressive
and threatened to shoot him.
Now we did reach out to the mayor
for comment and we received a
statement from the city saying
that they anticipate his return
to service for the city.
In the meantime,
the City of South Fulton
has a new acting mayor,
and that's Councilwoman
Natasha Williams Brown,
who will serve as Mayor
Pro Tem and the mayor.
His next court date is September 12th.
Back to you.
Argana, thank you.
Continuing your 11 minutes.
It is a deadline.
Today we are working to learn
if there has been any kind
of resolution for the people
living in a Clayton County
apartment complex where the water
can be shut off to everyone.
Yeah, they're nervous about this.
This morning at last check.
Red Apple Investment,
which owns Tara Woods,
owes nearly $98,000 to the
Clayton County Water Authority.
We reached out this
morning to see if they paid the bill.
We still haven't heard back.
The people who live there say
they have been paying their rent.
And they shouldn't have to
suffer by losing the water.
The cost of water is
included in the rent red.
Apple Investments blames the
bulk of the outstanding balance
because they say people didn't pay
their rent during the pandemic.
The water is included with the rent,
so it's no reason why the
water should be off, you know.
The apartment complex says they're
actually owed $225,000 in past due rent.
The water authority says they've
tried working with Red Apple
Investments with a payment arrangement.
Red Apple showed us receipts
rather showing that they have paid
$50,000 of their outstanding debt.
The selection of grand juries is
happening tomorrow in Fulton County.
It's expected one of these will
eventually hear the case against
former President Donald Trump.
The term starts tomorrow,
ends in September.
District Attorney Fonny Willis has said
the earliest grand jury could hear
evidence would be one week from today.
Scam calls are back in De Kalb County,
and this morning the Sheriff's
Office has a new warning for you.
After a man lost $14,000 recently,
a scammer threatened to arrest
him for not appearing to.
Serve jury duty.
The Sheriff's Office says it will
never call for personal information
or money to avoid an arrest.
And that was a look at your top headline.
Rain to start a week off Chesley.
Yeah, it is a bit soggy on the outside,
as you can see, widespread rain starting
to shrink down just a little bit.
But we still have it with us.
As I told you, it was probably in by
7:00 or 8:00 o'clock this morning,
so more like on this 8:00 o'clock side.
As you can see, it's a little bit
more back off to the West of us.
We'll end on the light side.
We do have a couple moderate
pockets here and there,
especially even around the perimeter as well.
Over here toward Lawrenceville,
you see just South of the area you have
some moderate pockets coming down a little
bit heavier further down to the South.
And so again, expect the rain to be
with us right on through the morning.
By midmorning should be out of the way.
Temperature wise,
we're in the 60s and the 70s at the 70s.
South of the city, I Conyers at 72,
Stockbridge at 7169 degrees in
McDonough down toward Locust Grove,
here at 70 at Peachtree City and
over toward Fayetteville 67 degrees.
In Chattahoochee Hills,
you're looking at 67 degrees right now.
Powder Springs 68, Marietta,
Mapleton Yard 67 degrees, 69 and Tucker,
but 72 degrees downtown Atlanta.
I think you may drop off a degree or
two before we begin to rise back up.
Only 86 for an afternoon high
temperature today.
Not bad.
Should be a little bit more comfortable as
well with the front moving through our area,
knocking down that humidity just slightly,
Just a little bit.
Take the umbrella this morning.
By this afternoon you'll be
rocking those short sleeves.
With the temperatures heating
up into the 80s there,
the 60% chance for the rain
is around this morning.
We have it that drops this afternoon.
In fact,
we'll stay on the dry side for Tuesday,
Wednesday.
And then we'll watch those rain
chances go up a little bit as we
head toward the end of the week,
ending the week with a 40%
chance for rain by Friday.
And they think that will continue
As we head into the weekend,
you can see on the backside of this
area of low pressure now drying,
taking place over northern parts of
Alabama into central portions of Alabama.
That will be our trend as we head
through midmorning into early afternoon.
There's a better look at the area
of low pressure. Here's the front.
South of us now we'll continue
to sink southward and I think
South of it is where we'll have
the severe weather threat for us,
just the general threat,
the thunderstorms and only an isolated
threat as we head into the afternoon
for the most part will be dry.
In fact, take a look at this map here.
It shows the dry air.
If you look at the legend here,
the dry air is indicated by the blue.
The moist air is indicated by this orange,
red and yellow here.
And that's going to sink further
down to the South as some of that blue
starts to penetrate the far north Georgia
mountains later on this afternoon.
And tonight we'll continue to sink
southward for the day on Tuesday.
That's going to be my pick for the week,
right? They are beautiful afternoon for us,
mostly sunny skies.
We'll have that sunshine around for
Wednesday as well. Then by Thursday,
that moisture starts to move back in,
so our rain chance starts to increase,
at least by Thursday.
Here's how it plays out.
You can see where the rain pushes out.
Models trying to hold on to a few isolated
showers around for this afternoon.
I'm going to give it a 20 to
30% chance and that'll be it.
And then you're looking at clear
skies as we head into Thursday.
A Tuesday, rather.
It's going to be a very nice day.
Again, my pick for the week.
Right there.
89 degrees for the afternoon,
high temperature back into the
90s by the time we hit Wednesday.
We'll hold that for the rest of the week.
Going into the weekend.
With our chance of rain going up,
Winnet County police hope that
you can identify suspects they
say stole more than $2600 worth
of items from bass pro shops.
They just put out the video,
but the crime took place back on July 2nd.
Watch this video closely.
Here you see the suspect trying to go
out the front door and then pushes the
worker away to get out with those items.
You can see that this all happened
right in the store full of customers
at the Sugarloaf Mills location
called Crime Stoppers if you
recognize the people in that video.
Happening today in De Kalb County,
work will start on phase
two of the Scott Blvd.
Water Main Replacement Project.
It affects parts of East Ponce Ave.
de Kalb Industrial Way and
Lawrenceville Highway.
Here's some video of that overall area.
We're told this project will help improve
water capacity throughout the county,
but it's going to take
some time to finish it.
It'll take through January of 2025.
In the meantime,
construction will be on the
weekdays from 8:00 until 5:00.
And new this morning, the Hall
County Sheriff's Office is questioning
a person of interest after 10 cars were
hit by someone firing a pellet gun.
It happened in the area of Friendship
Road and one person suffered a
non life threatening injury.
They asked if you were hit by a pellet
gun yesterday to please give them a call.
Well, we're looking at temperatures
by noon, still in the 70s,
we're going to have mostly cloudy
skies and those clouds breaking up as
we head further into the afternoon.
In fact, we'll wind up with partly
sunny skies for the day and winds
will rain on the light side.
86 for your afternoon high
temperature by 6:00.
O'clock when you're driving home
temperatures around 83 degrees,
we'll have fair skies.
May need your shades by the end of the day.
All right. Well, pretty rough
start out there on the roads.
We're going to keep a close
eye on that, of course. On the Today show,
a local story from Atlanta taking it
to the South side to a camp sponsored
and owned by Zac Brown and Southern
Grounds that's coming up on the Today Show.
Hey, be careful out there.
It is slick and that rain is coming down.
We'll see you back here tomorrow morning.
