Atlanta is dealing with oppressive heat Saturday, and storms could hit later on. WSB-TV said residents face both very high temperatures and the possibility of severe storms. Georgia fans in Athens felt it too ahead of the Bulldogs first game of the season.
The Atlanta Police Department still encouraged residents to head outside and experience Dragon Con and the Atlanta Beltline. Officials did not tell people to stay inside. They described the holiday weekend as a time to see what the city has going on.
