Atlanta is facing dangerous heat Saturday, and storms may arrive as the day goes on. WSB-TV said residents are dealing with both extreme temperatures and the chance of severe weather. Georgia fans in Athens felt it too ahead of the Bulldogs season opener.
The Atlanta Police Department still encouraged residents to head outside and enjoy Dragon Con and the Atlanta Beltline. Officials did not warn against outdoor activity. They positioned the holiday weekend as a time to see what the city has going on.
