Look at your Monday morning
headlines. That's in a few show.
But that is a beautiful
sunrise. Shesley. Yeah,
take a look.
Take it all in if you, if you w.
Just a few clouds overhead right now.
Sun is still rising.
We'll have a fair skies at
least starting off this morning.
And no rain to worry about
coming out of those clouds.
But once we get into the aftern,
that could be a different story for us.
Now it's only in.
Isolated threat, 20% chance.
So a lot of us will stay on the dry side.
We'll be warming up this aftern,
80 by noon,
on our way to 86 for an afternoon high,
dropping back down to 83 degrees by 7:00.
O'clock tonight.
Looking at the rainfall,
well, you know,
it's been a little bit
dry around here lately.
We're almost where we should
be for this time of year,
so we're starting to see a
little bit of a deficit there.
We don't want that to grow.
So our chances for rain are on
the low side as we continue,
but hopefully we'll get some whe
we need it at least for this we.
30% chance for the rain tomorro.
By Wednesday you're looking at a
20% chance and up to a 40% chan.
It's our best chance this week
for some rain to move in as a
disturbance moves into the area.
That will clear us out as we
head into the upcoming weekend.
Friday include Friday as the
start of the weekend.
So you're looking at temperaturs
a little bit cooler as well.
I'm gonna show you that in the
seven day outlook in just a bit.
Look at this.
We have the Southeast nice and
dry for this morning once we
get into the afternoon.
Noon is where we'll start to see some
of those showers begin to devel.
High pressure is up here to the north of us.
We have an easterly flow coming.
Those winds will be on the light side today,
about 5 mph or less.
You barely feel that it will get
into more of a southerly flow oe
this high pressure starts to sle
a little bit further over toward
the east of our area and that wl
help the boost our temperature
up over the next couple of days.
Notice this right here.
Now.
First of all,
the light green shade is
throughout the southeast,
but this dark green.
Over toward North and South
Carolina is now stretching into
our State Storm Prediction Cent,
policing a level one threat or a marginal
risk for severe weather to be in our area.
It's in this area here that you
could see an isolated shower tht
could produce some gusty winds,
maybe up to 58 mph,
maybe some hail associated with,
frequent lightning of course.
And where those showers develop,
even outside of that area,
will be some brief heavy
downpours coming down on you.
Then they'll quickly get out of the way.
That's the way it's been,
folks.
Once we lose the daytime heatin,
that goes away and then
we'll start the process.
All over again for you Tuesday,
even into Wednesday,
we're going to hold on to a
20% chance for rain 89 degrees.
It's going to be the highest
temperature for this week.
Start to go down a little bit wh
more clouds moving in on Thursdy
with a 40% chance for the rain.
Friday, the best day of the wee.
10 on the Wazometer,
83 degrees for the high.
We'll hold on to that as we stat

Thousands in Georgia are tryingo
find new health insurance covere
after the state shut down Frida.
Health This impacts 37,000 peop.
It came after concerns the
company didn't have enough money
to pay customer claims. The
frustrating thing is that I go out of
the country for the rest of the month,
so that only gives me like a couple days.
Just find new health insurance
or less than 30 days
once I get back.
Those patients only have until
July 31st to find a new insurer.
Atlanta is seeing a huge show of
support for the LGBTQIA communiy
with the kickoff of Pride Month.
A record 2000 people came out to
Piedmont Park over the weekend r
the annual Atlanta Pride 5K run.
That's twice the number of runners last year.
I gain a sense of
love and unity when I do it.
It's an amazing feeling to have the support,
so giving it is even more rewar.
A big, big weekend event.
And that race by the way,
is a qualifier for next month's
A JC Peachtree Rd. race.
It's okay to walk away,
it's okay to start over again ad
it's okay to start a new journe.
It is a new chapter for
Atlanta's own Brianna Hampton.
She's an influencer,
author, entrepreneur, mom,
and star of a new reality show.
She joined us to talk
about juggling it all,
her message of healing,
and the challenges of living so openly. I
took them off social media for a little while
because I had a smear campaign going on.
It was a tough conversation because I don't
feel like social media understand that we
are humans as influencers and we hurt too.
And so when my kids were dragged into it,
I was like, no, let me pull my children back
away because I don't want them to see certain
things that's being said about their mom,
certain things they're very sayg
about them because they are innt
children and I want my kids to
stay as innocent as they can be.
But we all know when they go to
school that their friends are learning
things and on tiktoks and learn.
And things that we can't protect
them forever.
So it's tough conversations
to have with them,
but I try not to put them so
much in the limelight.
Brianna says she knows social
media exposure is an important
consideration for any mom,
but especially as she starts her new show.
So she decided to only include
her kids in episode one.
You can watch the new episodes of just
being Brianna Fridays on Facebook watch.
This morning we are shining a spotlight
on an issue facing local famili.
One in six children in the US le
with a developmental disability.
That's according to the CDC.
But experts say they're just not
enough providers to meet the ned
of all of children in Georgia.
Liza Lucas talked to 1:00 speech
therapist trying to just do her part.
Liza
Yes, good morning, early intervention really
important for a child's develop.
But the reality is families trying to
get help can often run into long wait
List and cost can also be a bar.
So Erica Wilson with. Clear Speech, LLC.
She sees these struggles,
which is why her clinics partnership with the
Scottish Wright Foundation is significant.
The group helps by shouldering e
of the financial burden for fams
who might otherwise lack access.
A lot of families,
they don't just need speech the,
they need occupational therapy,
physical therapy, ABA therapy,
which is a behavioral type of therapy,
and all of that adds up.
So being able to take some of
that financial difficulty away
has made all the difference.
Now, doctors and advocates tell
me that right now there is a
call to action when it comes to
addressing these issues for fams
and building the workforce,
the struggles,
not just here in Georgia, but
across the country.
And if your family's on a wait ,
we are compiling ways you can support
your child at home over at 11,
alive, calm, Chesley. All
right, thanks a lot, Eliza.
