Staying with your 11
minutes and non-stop news,
here's what's happening now.
Some scary moments at a place
just meant for fun and games.
Two women were shot at the North
Point Mall carnival in Alphareta
and this morning police are
still looking for the shooter.
It happened less than 12 hours .
Both women were taken to the hospital.
We're waiting for information
on the extent of their injuries.
Police say they did find
a handgun at the scene.
Critics of the Atlanta
Public Safety Training Center wt
voters to have the final say so.
They're going to start collectig

Commissioners, though, voted unanimously
to keep Nafcare until the end of the year.
That was a look at your Thursday morning.
Headlines heading out the door.
Pretty nice day, Chesley. Yeah,
there's gonna be a nice day,
comparatively speaking. You kno,
the last couple of days we hit the 90s.
Yesterday we hit 90 degrees tod.
Not so much worried about that because of
a front that's dropping through our area.
Our winds already shift,
have begun to shift out of the h
this morning, so not bad at all.
Even the rain that we had through the
overnight is now pushing away from us,
even those clouds starting
to breakdown somewhat.
So we'll start you off with pary
to mostly colory skies and some
spots and then wind up with mosy
sunny skies later on this after.
Temperature wise, we're in the .
Just about everywhere you look.
That 170 degree reading is in
downtown Atlanta, 64 degrees
McDonough down toward Locust Gr,
Conyers, the same Stockbridge.
You're close to 70 at 69, the 7161 degrees.
Rather in Newnan and Chattahooce
Hills in South Fulton County,
we're looking at 60 in Hiram,
62 degrees over toward Dallas.
Temple,
you're at 58 starting off this morning,
68 in Tucker,
65 degrees up towards Roswell ad
71 degrees in downtown Atlanta.
You know what to wear.
Forecast calls for short sleeve.
Of course it will be a warm afternoon,
but just not as warm as we
have been experiencing.
So 82 degrees your afternoon,
high temperature,
we're going to call that pleasa.
We'll have that sunshine
around through the afternoon.
With those winds getting
up to about 1314 mph,
gusts could be a little bit
higher than that at times,
the front fading southward and South of
the front where we're going to .
The threat for thunderstorms to,
even that hot weather will continue down
in the southern portions of our state.
We're cooling off just a little,
if you want to call it cooler or it's
just a little bit warmer or not as hot,
I should say it that way.
That's the way,
a good way to put it there.
That area of low pressure will continue
to slide over toward the east.
It's taking the rain with it.
You see it over towards South Carolina.
Now we're done with it for toda.
In fact as you take a look
at the forecast track model,
it shows those clouds breaking down as
we head into or further into mid morning.
So by the time we get to 11 o'c,
1110 o'clock, 11:00 o'clock.
We'll be looking at mostly sunny skies,
and that's where we will be for
the rest of the afternoon with a
very pleasant temperature of 82.
The clouds work back in throughe
overnight going into Friday mor.
Don't let this fool you.
Now,
mostly cloudy skies to start off 7:00 AM,
but by the time we get to 9:10 o'clock,
a lot of those clouds will start
to break down.
We'll get the sunshine in here
for the afternoon,
mostly sunny skies once again,
pleasant temperatures in the low to mid 80s.
And then as we head into Saturd,
that's when we're going to
start to see some of those.
Some of the moisture start
to return to the area.
In fact, the rain will come to y
the time we hit Sunday. So Satu,
looking at 87 degrees for the h,
mostly sunny skies for much of the day.
40% chance for showers in the
afternoon on Sunday. Going into Monday,
Monday we'll have a 60% chance r
rain to kick off the work week.
We'll be at 83 degrees but warming up
as we head through the rest of the week.
All right. Chesley,
appreciate that. A little bit of good
news and what was kind of a rocy
situation over on the West side perimeter.
They temporarily held all lanes to get all of
this moved off to the right hand side here.
But as you can see,
things are starting to flow aga,
they just reopened that.
So a little bit of good news mixed with a
little bit of bad news because obviously
that's going to impact your rid.
This is 285 northbound before H.
166 Langford Parkway.
Again, that is now all off to the right.
But we did see those delays and pretty
solid too back towards Camp Cre.
Parkway now, the best thing about it is by
the time you even think about any alternate,
you're going to be by the scene.
So hang in there.
If you're jumping on the car rit
now and you're getting out ther.
College Park, East Point on that West side,
just a little bit of a heads up.
Some better news here.
Car back on its wheels.
They are clearing the scene.
Rockbridge Rd.
At North Harriston.
But that was an overturned vehi.
A pretty serious crash.
Keep a void in that area for about the
next 10 minutes or so and there you go.
That's that backup on the West ,
heavy from Camp Creek up to the wreck
that is now off to the right 28.
At Langford Pkwy,
