SOME SCHOOLS ARE PUMPING THE 
BRAKES BECAUSE OF COVID-19 
CONCERNS. 
EITHER WAY FOOTBALL WILL LOOK 
VERY DIFFERENT IN THE WEEKS AND 
MONTHS AHEAD. 
THIS GAME IS AT CHRISTIAN 
ACADEMY AND WE'LL HAVE 
HIGHLIGHTS AT 11:00 ON 11ALIVE. 
>> MEANWHILE MARIA MARTIN 
REPORTS ON HOW SCHOOLS ARE 
NAVIGATING ALL THE NEW CHANGES 
AND SAFETY MEASURES. 
>> HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL IS 
BACK. 
JUST TALK ABOUT THE EXCITEMENT 
AROUND THE FACT WE ARE GOING TO 
HAVE SOME GAMES ON THE FIELD. 
>> I THINK EVERYBODY IS SO 
EXCITED TO SEE IT BACK AND I 
THINK, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU WATCH 
THE GAMES AND SEE THE 
EXCITEMENT AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE 
OKAY, THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. 
>> THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF HARD 
WORK. 
THERE IS A LOT THAT GOES INTO 
PUTTING ON HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL 
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PANDEMIC. 
LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT HARD 
WORK HAS LOOKED LIKE AND 
EVERYONE AT THE GSHA, THEIR 
EFFORTS TO GET TO THE POINT 
WE'RE AT NOW. 
>> I THINK THE EASIEST WAY TO 
SUM IT UP IS THAT WE'RE DOING 
THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS 
TAKEN FOR GRANTED. 
WHEN YOU START THINKING ABOUT 
THE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND THE 
CROWD OR THE CAPACITY LIMITS, 
LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE COMING IN AT 
25% CAPACITY, 30% CAPACITY AND 
THEN YOU'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT 
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE 
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THE 
PARENTS CAN BE THERE. 
>> I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP 
SAFETY BECAUSE THAT'S 
PARAMOUNT. 
THE GSHA PUT THOSE POLICIES IN 
PLACE, BUT EVERY SCHOOL IS 
DIFFERENT. 
THEY'RE KIND OF UNDER THEIR OWN 
GUIDELINES. 
WHY PUT IT THAT WAY? 
>> IT'S NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL 
AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY HAS A 
DIFFERENT SIZE STADIUM. 
YOU'VE GOT A DIFFERENT LAYOUT. 
YOU KNOW, COVID-19 HAS IMPACTED 
THAT COMMUNITY IN DIFFERENT 
WAYS AND SO THERE WAS NO WAY 
JUST TO SAY HEY, HERE'S THE 
BLANKET STATEMENT THAT 
EVERYBODY'S GOING TO HAVE TO 
ABIDE BY. 
YOU'VE GOT TO PROVIDE THE GUIDE 
AT THE HIGH LEVEL AND MAKE SURE 
YOUR ADs AND THEIR STAFF AND 
COACHES COUNT FOR ALL THOSE 
LITTLE THINGS. 
>> AS WE MENTIONED, A COUPLE 
SCHOOLS HAVE ALREADY BEEN 
FORCED TO CALL OFF GAMES DUE TO 
CORONAVIRUS AND TONIGHT BLESSED 
TRINITY'S FOOTBALL GAME AGAINST 
FORSYTH CENTRAL IS CANCELED. 
ACCORDING TO A LETTER FROM 
FORSYTH CENTRAL'S PRINCIPAL, 
ONE OF THE BLESSED TRINITY 
PLAYERS TESTED POSITIVE FOR 
COVID. 
WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THAT 
SCHOOL BUT NOT HEARD BACK YET. 
IN GWINNETT COUNTY MILL CREEK 
AND BERKMAR FORCED TO CANCEL 
AFTER PLAYERS ON EACH TEAM 
TESTED POSITIVE AND SEVERAL 
OTHERS WERE EXPOSED. 
DESPITE THE NEW SAFETY MEASURES 
IN PLACE THERE STILL ARE MANY 
CONCERNS ABOUT HOW CLOSELY THEY 
WILL BE FOLLOWED AND THIS IS 
WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE ON 
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT WEST 
FORSYTH, THE HIGH SCHOOL GAME 
THERE. 
WE SAW MANY FANS WITHOUT MASKS 
SITTING CLOSE TOGETHER. 
WE REACHED OUT TO THE SCHOOL 
ABOUT THIS. 
THE SCHOOL SAYS IT IS A CHOICE 
FOR FANS TO ATTEND THE EVENTS. 
THE SCHOOL, LIKE MANY OTHERS, 
IS LIMITING STADIUM CAPACITY 
ADJUSTING SEATING AND ADDING 
SIGNAGE ABOUT MASKS. 
HOWEVER, IT IS UP TO FANS WHEN 
IT COMES TO FOLLOWING THOSE 
MEASURES. 
>>> AS WE HEAD INTO THE LABOR 
DAY WEEKEND, THE DOWNWARD TREND 
IN NEW COVID-19 CASES SEEMS TO 
HAVE STALLED. 
TODAY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC 
HEALTH REPORTED NEARLY 2,100 
NEW POSITIVE TEST RESULTS. 
THAT'S SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER 
THAN THE NUMBER WE REPORTED ON 
MEMORIAL DAY, A WEEKEND AT THE 
START OF THE SUMMER SURGE. 
498 CASES WERE REPORTED. 
SADLY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE 
DYING FROM THE VIRUS IS ALSO 
HIGH AND HOLDING STEADY. 
DPH REPORTED 63 MORE DEATHS 
TODAY. 
REMEMBER THESE ARE REPORTED AS 
DPH IS ABLE TO VERIFY THE 
INFORMATION. 
SO MANY OF THESE PEOPLE 
ACTUALLY DIED WEEKS AGO. 
>>> MEANWHILE AS COLLEGE 
STUDENTS LEAVE CAMPUS FOR THE 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND, MANY WONDER 
WHAT SCHOOL WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN 
THEY RETURN WITH COVID CASES 
ALREADY ON THE RISE AT MANY 
SCHOOLS. 
OUR KAITLYN ROSS GOES TO 
STUDENTS AT GEORGIA TECH WHO 
SAY THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO 
EXPECT. 
>> STUDENTS AREN'T THE ONLY 
ONES CONCERNED. 
COLLEGES ACROSS GEORGIA SENT 
OUT ALERTS TO THEIR POPULATIONS 
OVER THIS PAST WEEK WARNING 
STUDENTS TO BE CAREFUL, WEAR 
MASKS AND SOCIALLY DISTANCE 
OVER THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY, BUT 
WILL THAT BE ENOUGH? 
STUDENTS ON GEORGIA TECH'S 
CAMPUS SAY THEY'RE WORRIED 
AFTER 39 NEW CASES WERE 
REPORTED YESTERDAY ALONE. 
THEY SAY THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN 
INCONSISTENT IN ITS MESSAGING 
ABOUT HOUSING. 
FIRST TELLING STUDENTS WHO 
SHARE A ROOM THEY WOULD HAVE TO 
MOVE OUT, THEN BACKING DOWN 
CALLING THE MOVES VOLUNTARY. 
IN AN EMAIL TO PARENTS THE 
ADMINISTRATOR SAID THEIR CAMPUS 
TESTING SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM 
INDICATED A HIGH SPREAD AMONG 
ROOMMATES BUT SAID IT'S 
ULTIMATELY UP TO EACH FAMILY 
WHETHER THEIR STUDENT REMAINS 
IN A DOUBLE OCCUPANCY ROOM. 
>> LOGISTICALLY THERE ARE SO 
MANY MOVING PARTS AND I FEEL 
LIKE WE KEEP BEING TOLD HOW 
DIFFICULT IT IS AND HOW MANY 
THINGS THEY'RE DOING TO MAKE 
SURE THE SITUATION IS SAFE, BUT 
THERE WAS A VERY EASY WAY FOR 
THEM TO MAKE THE SITUATION SAFE 
BEFORE ALL OF THIS HAPPENED. 
THAT WOULD HAVE I THINK MADE IT 
EASIER FOR THEM TO HAVE A GOOD 
ONLINE CLASS EXPERIENCE AT THE 
VERY LEAST, WHEREAS NOW WE'RE 
ON CAMPUS AND I DON'T THINK 
ANYBODY'S VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW. 
>> FOURTH YEAR STUDENT KELLY 
O'NEIL WORRIES IF THE COVID-19 
INFECTION RATE GETS ANY HIGHER, 
STUDENTS WILL BE FORCED TO GO 
FULLY VIRTUAL EVEN THOUGH MOST 
OF THEM ARE ALREADY TAKING A 
MAJORITY OF THEIR CLASSES

GEGIA'S GOVERNOR HAS BEEN 
CRITICIZED BY SOME FOR NOT

RESPONSIBLE. 
>> THERE'S ALSO PEOPLE THAT 
DON'T NEED A GOVERNMENT MANDATE

ARE YOU NOTICING THAT THE SUN 
IS SETTING A LITTLE EARLIER? 
IT'S GETTING DARKER EARLIER AND 
WE HAVE A LITTLE DIFFERENCE 
BETWEEN THE SUNSET LAST NIGHT 
AND TONIGHT'S SUNSET. 
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED IT 
OR NOT, BUT LAST NIGHT'S SUNSET 
WAS AT 8:00. 
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LAST 
TIME UNTIL NEXT SPRING THAT WE 
SEE SUNSETS AT 8:00 OR AFTER 
8:00. 
TONIGHT'S SUNSET IS  7 
58. 
YOU'RE PROBABLY NOTICING IT OUT 
THERE RIGHT NOW AS WE STILL 
HAVE SOME LIGHT OF DAY, BUT IT 
IS GETTING DARKER A LITTLE 
SOONER. 
TEMPERATURES ARE STILL WARM, 
THOUGH, MID-80s. 
WE'LL DROP TO THE LOWER 80s BY 
11:00. 
I'M THINKING BY 11:00 WE'LL BE 
AT 79, MIDNIGHT 78 AND BY 
TOMORROW MORNING STARTING OFF 
WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 
70s IN TOWN. 
I THINK WE'LL SEE 60s IN THE 
OUTLYING AREAS WITH MAINLY 
CLEAR SKIES. 
IT'S GOING TO BE A NICE START. 
IN THE AFTERNOON IT'S GOING TO 
BE NICE AS WELL. 
WE'RE BRINGING THE WIZOMETER TO 
A 10. 
TODAY WAS A 9 AS WE HAD A HIGH 
TEMPERATURE OF 92 DEGREES. 
NOW WE'RE BRINGING IT TO A 10 
AS IT'S A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. 
IT'S GOING TO BE DRY. 
WE'LL HAVE SUNSHINE MIXING IN 
WITH A FEW CLOUDS AND THE 
RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS ARE 
GOING TO START COMING DOWN A 
LITTLE BIT. 
NOW TONIGHT I WANT YOU TO 
WATCH. 
THAT SYSTEM WE WERE TELLING YOU 
ABOUT THAT'S GOING TO SAG INTO 
NORTH GEORGIA WITH VERY LIMITED 
MOISTURE WILL KICK OFF A COUPLE 
SHOWERS HERE IN FAR NORTH 
GEORGIA AND PARTS OF NORTHWEST 
GEORGIA, BUT THAT'S FALLING 
APART AS IT MOVES CLOSER TO 
ATLANTA. 
WE'LL SEE A FEW CLOUDS TONIGHT. 
AS WE START THE DAY TOMORROW, 
IT'S GOING TO BE A NICE START 
WITH DRY CONDITIONS, PLENTY OF 
SUNSHINE, SUNNY SKIES AT NOON 
AND ONCE WE GET INTO THE 
AFTERNOON HOURS STILL MOSTLY 
SUNNY SKIES, MAYBE A COUPLE 
CLOUDS MIXING IN AND AS WE'RE 
GOING THROUGH THIS LONG HOLIDAY 
WEEKEND THE DRY WEATHER 
CONTINUES ON SUNDAY, TOO, WITH 
SUNSHINE TO START. 
I WANT YOU TO KNOW ON SUNDAY 
AND MONDAY THE MORNINGS WILL BE 
JUST A LITTLE BIT COOLER. 
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LOWS IN THE 
60s FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. 
THE DRIER AIR IN PLACE IS 
ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO FALL A 
BIT MORE. 
ON THE AFTERNOON SUNDAY WE'LL 
BE JUST SHY OF 90 TOPPING OFF 
WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID- 
TO UPPER 80s FOR THE AFTERNOON 
HOURS. 
HERE'S THE SEVEN-DAY FORECAST 
AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE LONG 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND, A 10 ON THE 
WIZOMETER SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND 
MONDAY, HIGH SATURDAY AT 89,

TEMPERATURES, RIGHT AROUND 67 
SUNDAY MORNING, 66 ON MONDAY 
MORNING, 65 ON TUESDAY MORNING, 
A FEW MORE CLOUDS BUILDING IN 
TUESDAY, A CHANCE FOR A SHOWER 
LATE TUESDAY.

WILL COME IN WEDNESDAY, 
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, EACH DAY 
ABOUT A 40% CHANCE FOR SOME OF 
THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS, HIGH 
TEMPERATURES 86 WEDNESDAY, 87 
THURSDAY, 86 AGAIN FRIDAY AND 
86 IS RIGHT WHERE WE SHOULD BE

CONCERNS ABOUT THE CONTENT. 
THERE ARE WAYS TO LIMIT WHAT 
YOUR CHILD SEES.

FEED CONTENT, STOP DIRECT 
MESSAGES AND LIMIT TIME SPENT 
ON THE APP BY LINKING THEIR 
CHILD'S ACCOUNT TO THEIR OWN.

DIFFICULT IN INTERGENERATIONAL

GOING TO KEEP MY KID AT THIS 
LEVEL FOREVER OR HOW DO WE 
PROCEED FROM HERE? 
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE NEXT 
STAGE IS WE ARE GOING TO APPLY,

ABOUT IT AND CONSIDER THAT, YOU 
KNOW, HE MIGHT HAVE TO END UP 
IN SCHOOL. 
>> MANY OF THE FAMILIES THAT WE 
SERVE HAVE DIABETES, 
HYPERTENSION AND OTHER CHRONIC 
DISEASES. 
A LOT OF THE FAMILIES WE 
SURVEYED WANT THE CHILDREN BACK 
IN SCHOOL. 
THEY KNOW THAT'S A GREAT PLACE 
FOR THE KIDS. 
30% OF THE GRANDPARENTS IN OUR 
PROGRAM ARE OVER AGE 60 AND WE 
HAVE GRANDPARENTS IN THEIR 70s 
AND SOMETIMES IN THEIR 80s WHO 
ARE RAISING GRANDCHILDREN. 
SO THE TRANSMISSION ACROSS 
GENERATIONS IS A LEGITIMATE 
CONCERN THAT THEY HAVE. 
>> IF YOU HAVE A 
MULTIGENERATIONAL HOUSEHOLD, 
THE OLDER PEOPLE DEFINITELY ARE 
THE HIGHEST RISK, YOU KNOW. 
I DO HAVE ONE IN MY HOUSE. 
MY PARENTS LIVE WITH ME AND I 
HAVE A 4 1/2-YEAR-OLD. 
I MADE THE DECISION TO SEND HIM 
TO HIS PRESCHOOL SUMMER CAMP 
AND I DID DISCUSS THAT WITH MY 
PARENTS, BUT HAVING A 4 1/2-
YEAR-OLD IS VIRTUALLY 
IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE HIM 
UNDERSTAND THAT HE NEEDS TO BE 
AWAY FROM HIS GRANDPARENTS. 
HE'S JUST NOT GOING TO DO THAT. 
IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER CHILD, 
THAT MAY BE A CONVERSATION YOU 
TRY TO HAVE. 
>> IT'S VERY HARD AS A PARENT 
NOT TO LET YOUR EMOTIONS COME 
INTO THIS, BUT I THINK YOU 
REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT THE

YOU NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT IS 
YOUR SCHOOL DOING TO TRY TO 
PROTECT YOUR CHILD? 
DO YOU THINK THAT'S SUFFICIENT? 
DO YOU THINK IT'S NOT 
SUFFICIENT? 
HAVE THERE BEEN CASES IN THE 
SCHOOL ALREADY? 
IN YOUR COMMUNITY WHAT'S 
HAPPENING? 
ALL THOSE FACTORS SHOULD GO 
INTO MAKING THAT DECISION.

>>> BEFORE THE PANDEMIC ATLANTA 
EXPECTED A BIG ECONOMIC BOOST 
TO COME THIS WEEKEND INCLUDING 
THE CHICK-FIL-A KICKOFF GAMES 
AND DRAGON CON. 
NEARLY 90,000 PEOPLE WERE 
SLATED TO VISIT THE CITY FOR 
DRAGON CON, BUT FOR THE FIRST 
TIME IN 34 YEARS THE SCIENCE 
FICTION FANTASY AND POP CULTURE 
CONVENTION IS GOING VIRTUAL. 
AS FOR FOOTBALL, ALL THREE 
CHICK-FIL-A KICKOFF GAMES THIS 
YEAR CANCELED, BUT HOW DOES 
THAT REALLY AFFECT THE BOTTOM 
LINE FOR THE CITY OF ATLANTA? 
THE ATLANTA CONVENTION AND 
VISITORS BUREAU SAYS MORE THAN 
$86 MILLION WERE ESTIMATED TO 
POUR INTO THE CITY FROM DRAGON 
CON. 
THE CHICK-FIL-A KICKOFF GAME 
PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED FOR 
SATURDAY WAS EXPECTED TO BRING 
IN $35 MILLION WITH $30 MILLION 
ESTIMATED TO COME IN FROM THE 
LABOR DAY GAME. 
ATLANTA STARTED THE YEAR WITH 
39 CONVENTIONS ON THE CALENDAR. 
DOZENS OF THOSE CITYWIDE 
CONVENTIONS CANCELED BECAUSE OF 
THE PANDEMIC. 
THE TOTAL ESTIMATED ECONOMIC 
IMPACT FOR THOSE EVENTS, $640 
MILLION. 
>>> THIS NOVEMBER REPUBLICAN 
SENATOR DAVID PERDUE FACING JON 
OSSOFF, THE DEMOCRAT, AND IT IS 
ONE OF THE MOST WATCHED RACES 
ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY, BUT WE 
HAVEN'T HEARD A LOT FROM 
SENATOR PERDUE. 
11ALIVE'S DOUG RICHARDS LOOKS 
AT WHY THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE 
ARE BY DESIGN. 
>> BY HIS ADVERTISING YOU WOULD 
CERTAINLY KNOW THAT SENATOR 
DAVID PERDUE IS RUNNING FOR 
REELECTION, BUT BY HIS CAMPAIGN 
SCHEDULE YOU'D HARDLY KNOW IT 
AT ALL. 
HIS OFFICE SAYS THE SENATOR 
SPENT AUGUST TRAVELING AROUND 
THE STATE. 
THEY DOCUMENT PERDUE'S VISITS 
WITH PHOTOS AND NEWS RELEASES 
SENT OUT AFTER HIS EVENTS HAVE 
CONCLUDED. 
PERDUE RARELY SENDS OUT A 
SCHEDULE IN ADVANCE. 
WHEN HE HAS, AS FOR THIS EVENT 
IN APRIL 2017, HE SOMETIMES 
DRAWS NOISY PROTESTERS. 
IN FACT, CAROLINE STOVER IS 
AMONG THOSE WHO REGULARLY 
PROTEST OUTSIDE PERDUE'S OFFICE 
IN BUCKHEAD. 
>> I HAVE NOT MET OR HEARD OF 
ANYONE WHO HAD FACE-TO-FACE 
TIME WITH SENATOR PERDUE. 
>> Reporter:  HOW LONG HAVE YOU 
BEEN TRYING TO SEE DAVID 
PERDUE? 
>> IT'S BEEN 3 1/2 YEARS. 
>> I DO IT DIFFERENTLY. 
I ENGAGE INDIVIDUALLY AND IN 
SMALL GROUPS AND WE DO A LOT OF 
THAT IN THIS STATE AS YOU KNOW. 
>> Reporter:  THAT WAS PERDUE 
IN FEBRUARY 2017 ABOUT A MONTH 
INTO DONALD TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY. 
PERDUE HAD BECOME AN OUTSPOKEN 
SUPPORTER OF TRUMP'S POLICY. 
HE DREW PROTESTERS THEN. 
TRUMP'S POLICIES DREW 
PROTESTERS THIS WEEK AT EVENTS 
HELD BY GEORGIA'S OTHER 
REPUBLICAN SENATOR KELLY 
LOEFFLER. 
UNLIKE PERDUE, LOEFFLER HAS 
ANNOUNCED CAMPAIGN EVENTS IN 
ADVANCE AND ENCOURAGED 
ATTENDANCE. 
LOEFFLER'S TWITTER SITE SHOWED 
PROTESTERS INSIDE ANOTHER OF 
HER EVENTS THURSDAY. 
CAN YOU BLAME SENATOR PERDUE 
FOR WANTING TO AVOID 
CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THAT? 
>> IF HE'S AFRAID OF 
CONTROVERSY, THEN HE SHOULD NOT 
BE OUR REPRESENTATIVE IN 
WASHINGTON, D.C. 
>> Reporter:  SENATOR PERDUE 
CONTINUES TO BE A REGULAR ON 
NATIONAL CABLE NEWS THOSE, 
PARTICULARLY FOX NEWS. 
WE ASKED HIS OFFICE FOR COMMENT 
ON THIS STORY. 
WE GOT NO RESPONSE. 
>>> TRAFFIC HAS BEEN SLOW AT 
AIRPORTS ALL OVER THE NATION, 
BUT THIS COMING HOLIDAY WEEKEND 
IS EXPECTED TO SEE A HUGE RAMP-
UP IN TRAVELERS, THIS JUST AS 
THE TSA REDESIGNED CHECKPOINTS 
TO PROTECT PASSENGERS AND 
OFFICERS. 
TOM COSTELLO COVERS AVIATION 
FOR NBC AND HAS DETAILS FROM 
WASHINGTON'S REAGAN NATIONAL 
AIRPORT. 
>> Reporter:  WALKING INTO ANY 
AIRPORT THESE DAYS CAN SEEM 
EERIE. 
THE PANDEMIC HAS LEFT 
CONCOURSES, TICKET COUNTERS AND 
TSA CHECKPOINTS VIRTUALLY 
EMPTY. 
THE LOW POINT CAME APRIL 14th 
WHEN ONLY 87,000 PASSENGERS 
FLEW NATIONWIDE, DOWN FROM 2.5 
MILLION FLYING EACH DAY BEFORE 
THE PANDEMIC. 
PASSENGERS SLOWLY RETURNED OVER 
THE SUMMER. 
TODAY IT'S EXPECTED TO BE THE 
BUSIEST DAY YET WITH 900,000 
PASSENGERS NATIONWIDE. 
CHECKPOINTS NOW LOOK A BIT 
DIFFERENT. 
PLEXIGLASS TO SEPARATE OFFICERS 
AND PASSENGERS, STICKERS ON THE 
FLOOR TO KEEP PASSENGERS SIX 
FEET APART AND NEW SELF-SERVICE 
KIOSKS THAT CHECK YOUR ID, THEN 
MATCH IT TO YOUR AIRLINE TICKET 
RECORD. 
TSA CHIEF ADMIRAL DAVID 
PETOSKEY. 
>> WALK UP, TAKE YOUR 
CREDENTIAL, INSERT IT INTO THE 
MACHINE. 
THE MACHINE WILL CAPTURE AN 
IMAGE. 
THE CREDENTIAL COMES OUT. 
I TAKE IT, NO TOUCH BETWEEN THE 
OFFICER AND ME. 
>> Reporter:  ALSO ROLLING OUT 
AT 434 AIRPORTS NEW SOFTWARE 
AND FULL BODY SCANNERS REDUCING 
THE NEED FOR PATDOWNS, NEW ANTI-
MICROBIAL BINS AND MORE CT 
SCANNERS THAT ALLOW OFFICERS TO 
MANIPULATE IMAGES OF WHAT'S 
INSIDE YOUR CARRY-ON BAG TO 
VERIFY IT'S NOT A THREAT 
REDUCING THE NEED TO DO BAG 
CHECKS. 
IF A TSA OFFICER IS GOING TO 
REACH INTO SOMEBODY'S BAG AND 
THEY REACH INTO MY BACK, ARE 
THEY USING THE SAME GLOVES? 
>> THEY WILL EITHER CHANGE THE 
GLOVES OUT AND IF THEY REACH 
INTO YOUR BAG AND YOU ASK THEM 
TO CHANGE THE GLOVES, THEY WILL 
OR THEY WILL SANITIZE THE 
GLOVE. 
>> Reporter:  OFFICERS MUST 
ALSO CHANGE GLOVES FOR EVERY 
BODY CHECK. 
IN ANY WAY IS SECURITY 
COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF US 
WEARING MASKS AND BECAUSE OF 
THE PLEXIGLASS? 
>> NO. 
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE 
TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS THAT WE 
HAVE FIRST AND FOREMOST IMPROVE 
SECURITY A LOT AND THEN 
SECONDARILY AS WE LOOK AT 
TECHNOLOGY, EVERYTHING WE LOOK 
AT NOT ONLY WILL IMPROVE 
SECURITY, BUT IMPROVE THE 
PASSENGER EXPERIENCE. 
>> Reporter:  WHILE PASSENGER 
VOLUME IS DOWN 75%, THE RATIO 
OF GUN CONFISCATIONS PER 
PASSENGER HAVE TRIPLED AND 80% 
OF THEM ARE LOADED. 
MOST PASSENGERS CLAIM THEY 
SIMPLY FORGOT THE GUN WAS IN A 
BAG, BUT THE FIRST OFFENSE 
COMES WITH A FEDERAL FINE OF UP 
TO $4,100 PLUS THE POSSIBILITY 
OF LOCAL CRIMINAL CHARGES. 
DON'T FORGET YOUR GUN. 
THAT WILL COST YOU A LOT OF 
MONEY, GET YOU INTO A LOT OF 
TROUBLE. 
ONE OTHER NOTE HERE, FACE 
MASKS. 
THEY ARE REQUIRED. 
THE TSA REQUIRES THEM. 
THE AIRPORT REQUIRES THEM. 
THE AIRLINES REQUIRE THEM. 
THE TSA WILL GIVE YOU ONE IF 
YOU FORGET YOURS AND SHOW UP 
WITHOUT ONE, BUT IF YOU TRY TO 
WALK THROUGH AIRPORTS WITHOUT A 
MASK, AIRPORT POLICE MAY VERY 
WELL ESCORT YOU OUT.

CALLED DEAD AMERICAN SERVICE 
MEMBERS LOSERS AND SUCKERS. 
>> IT WAS A TOTALLY FAKE STORY 
AND THAT WAS CONFIRMED BY MANY 
PEOPLE WHO WERE ACTUALLY THERE. 
IT WAS A TERRIBLE THING THAT 
SOMEBODY COULD SAY THE KIND OF 
THINGS AND ESPECIALLY TO ME 
BECAUSE I'VE DONE MORE FOR THE

WE MADE IT FINALLY, A LONG 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND THIS 
WEEKEND WILL COOPERATE WITH US 
IF YOU'RE TRYING TO ESCAPE 
RAIN. 
WE AREN'T EXPECTING ANY RAIN TO

SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND ON MONDAY 
AS WELL. 
HERE'S A LOOK AT THE LONG 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND. 
ON SATURDAY TEMPERATURE RIGHT 
AROUND 89 IN THE AFTERNOON, A 
GOOD BIT OF SUNSHINE MIXING IN 
WITH A FEW CLOUDS AT TIMES. 
SUNDAY NOT AS MUGGY. 
I WANT YOU TO KNOW SUNDAY AND 
MONDAY WE'LL START OFF THE 
MORNINGS WITH TEMPERATURES 
DIPPING DOWN INTO THE 60s, 
SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR IN PLACE, 
NOT AS MUGGY. 
SO IT'S GOING TO BE A NICE 
START WITH THOSE SLIGHTLY 
COOLER TEMPERATURES AROUND, BUT 
WE'LL GET UP TO 87 IN THE 
AFTERNOON BUT STAYING BELOW 90. 
THAT'S A GOOD THING, 87 ALSO 
MONDAY, NICE CONDITIONS, THAT 
LOWER HUMIDITY AROUND, TOO.  
THE AVERAGE HIGH FOR THIS TIME 
OF YEAR IS 86. 
IT WILL BE A LITTLE ABOVE 
AVERAGE. 
HERE'S A LOOK AT THE ALMANAC 
FOR TODAY. 
YOU CAN SEE IT WAS HOT. 
WE GOT UP TO 92. 
OUR LOW THIS MORNING WAS 74, SO 
BOTH THESE TEMPERATURES ARE 
ABOVE AVERAGE. 
WE SHOULD SEE HIGHS AROUND 86 
THIS TIME OF YEAR. 
WE SHOULD HAVE LOWS AROUND 69 
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. 
WE WILL BE SEEING THOSE COOLER 
TEMPERATURES IN THE MORNINGS 
GETTING CLOSER TO AVERAGE AS WE 
GO INTO SUNDAY, MONDAY AND INTO 
MUCH OF NEXT WEEK AS WELL. 
NO RAIN OFFICIALLY AT 
HARTSFIELD-JACKSON TODAY. 
NOBODY GOT RAIN IN NORTH 
GEORGIA EXCEPT A COUPLE SPOTTY 
SHOWERS IN FAR NORTH GEORGIA. 
WE'RE A LITTLE MORE THAN 13 1/2 
INCHES ABOVE WHERE WE SHOULD BE 
IN RAINFALL FOR THE YEAR. 
WE'LL SEE A DRY HOLIDAY 
WEEKEND, LOOKING PRETTY GOOD 
WITH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN 
THE MID-AND UPPER 80s, BUT WE 
WILL SEE SOME RAIN RETURNING 
ONCE WE GET INTO NEXT WEEK. 
HERE'S THE FORECAST FOR YOUR 
SATURDAY STARTING OFF AT 71. 
WE GET UP TO 89 IN THE 
AFTERNOON. 
ON OUR SCALE FROM 1 TO 11 WHERE 
11 IS A PERFECT DAY WE'RE GOING 
WITH 10, A LOT OF AFTERNOON 
SUNSHINE, A COUPLE CLOUDS 
MIXING IN WITH THE SUN. 
HERE'S THE EVENING FORECAST. 
WE ARE WATCHING THE WEAK SYSTEM 
COMING INTO NORTH GEORGIA WITH 
LIMITED MOISTURE, MAYBE JUST A 
COUPLE SPOTTY SHOWERS. 
THAT FALLS APART AS IT GETS 
CLOSER TO US. 
I'M NOT EXPECTING RAIN IN 
ATLANTA, JUST A COUPLE CLOUDS 
AROUND. 
THEN SATURDAY MORNING A 
BEAUTIFUL START TO THE DAY WITH 
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. 
LUNCHTIME IS STILL MOSTLY 
SUNNY, IN THE AFTERNOON 
SUNSHINE AND A COUPLE CLOUDS 
MIXING IN. 
IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL BE RAIN 
FREE IS, A NICE START TO YOUR 
WEEKEND ON SATURDAY. 
THEN SUNDAY WE'LL STILL SEE DRY 
CONDITIONS, MAYBE A COUPLE 
CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON SUNDAY. 
LET ME TAKE YOU TO SHOW YOU THE 
TROPICS, OMAR FALLING APART. 
IT WILL BECOME A TROPICAL 
DEPRESSION AND WE WILL NO 
LONGER HAVE ANY ADVISORIES ON

COVID-19 HAS IMPACTED THAT 
COMMUNITY IN DIFFERENT WAYS. 
THERE WAS NO WAY JUST TO SAY 
HEY, HERE'S A BLANKET STATEMENT

CONTRACT COVID-19 THAN OTHER 
HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ON UP LATE 
AT 11:00. 
>>> IT'S DRY FOR MOST OF THOSE 
FOOTBALL GAMES TONIGHT. 
WE WERE TELLING EWING LAST 
NIGHT ABOUT THIS WEAK SYSTEM 
THAT WILL COME IN FROM 
TENNESSEE AND NORTH CAROLINA 
WITH VERY LIMITED MOISTURE WITH 
IT. 
IT'S MOVING INTO NORTH GEORGIA. 
WHICH ARE A COUPLE LITTLE 
SHOWERS AROUND. 
WE HAVE ONE OF THESE RIGHT HERE 
THAT CAME THROUGH FLOYD COUNTY 
WHICH IS SOUTH OF ROME NOW 
TRYING TO MOVE INTO THE 
SOUTHWESTERN PARTS OF BARTOW 
COUNTY, NORTHERN PARTS OF 
PAULDING COUNTY, A FEW OTHER 
ISOLATED SHOWERS A, THIS ONE 
TRYING TO MOVE INTO NORTH 
FULTON RIGHT NOW. 
THESE ARE WEAKENING. 
IF YOU GET HIT BY ONE OF THESE 
SHOWERS, IT'S GOING TO BE LIGHT 
AND NOT LAST LONG AS THESE WILL 
ALL BE FALLING APART. 
YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE IN 
ASSOCIATION WITH THE SHOWERS 
NOW IN PARTS OF NORTH CAROLINA 
AND TENNESSEE. 
ONCE THIS SWEEPS THROUGH WE'LL 
HAVE DRIER AIR FILTERING INTO 
OUR AREA HEADING INTO THE 
WEEKEND. 
TEMPERATURES ARE TRENDING DOWN, 
NOT A LOT BUT A LITTLE BIT. 
LOOK OUT THERE NOW. 
LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT WE'RE 
WATCHING. 
THIS IS OUR CAMERA IN ROME, A 
LIVE LOOK. 
THE ROADS ARE DRY. 
WE JUST HAD SHOWERS NEAR ROME 
AND IN THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF 
FLOYD COUNTY A WHILE AGO. 
ANY OF THOSE SHOWERS OUT THERE 
ARE NOT WIDESPREAD AT ALL. 
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT'S GOING TO 
HAPPEN AFTER THE SYSTEM MOVES 
THROUGH. 
I MENTIONED DRIER AIR FOR THE 
WEEKEND AND I MEAN MORE THAN NO 
RAIN. 
THE HUMIDITY LEVELS ARE GOING 
DOWN, TOO.  
HERE'S THE DEW POINT. 
THAT'S THE REAL MEASURE HOW 
MUCH MOISTURE IS IN THE 
ATMOSPHERE. 
WHEN YOU HAVE DEW POINTS IN THE 
70s, IT'S THAT OPPRESSIVE MUGGY 
CONDITIONS. 
TODAY WE HAD DEW POINTS IN THE 
60s, STILL HUMID. 
TOMORROW IT WILL BE IN THE 
LOWER 60s AND UPPER 50s TO NEAR 
60 SUNDAY AND MONDAY. 
SO NOT ONLY NO RAIN, BUT ALSO 
FEELING A LITTLE LESS HUMID AND 
A LITTLE LESS MUGGY. 
THEN WE'LL WATCH THE HUMIDITY 
LEVELS COMING BACK UP WEDNESDAY 
AND THURSDAY. 
THAT'S GOING TO CORRESPOND WITH 
A HIGHER RAIN CHANCE MOVING 
BACK INTO OUR AREA. 
STAY WITH US. 
WE'LL BREAK THAT DOWN COMING 
UP. 
>>> AFTER DAYS OF WATCHING OUR 
COVID CASES TREND DOWNWARD, THE 
CURB APPEARS TO HAVE STALLED. 
LOOK AT THIS GRAPH HERE. 
TODAY THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC 
HEALTH REPORTED MORE THAN 2,000 
NEW POSITIVE TEST RESULTS. 
THAT'S MORE THAN FOUR TIMES 
HIGHER THAN THE NUMBER OF CASES 
GOING INTO MEMORIAL DAY. 
WITH FEWER PEOPLE HAVING 
SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS FROM THE 
VIRUS, HOSPITALS REPORTED ABOUT 
1,700 PEOPLE ARE STILL 
RECEIVING CARE. 
ONE REASON FOR A DROP IN 
HOSPITALIZATIONS IS THE AGE OF 
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING 
SICK. 
YOUNG ADULTS BETWEEN AGES 18 
AND 29 MAKE UP 25% OF ALL 
POSITIVE CASES IN GEORGIA AND 
MORE THAN A THIRD OR 37% OF ALL 
CASES THIS PAST WEEK. 
THEY ARE LESS LIKELY TO GET 
SERIOUSLY ILL. 
1,682 HAVE HAD TO GO TO THE 
HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT AND 48 
HAVE DIED. 
THOSE NUMBERS ARE PART OF THE 
REASON STUDENTS LEAVING GEORGIA 
COLLEGE CAMPUSES FOR LABOR DAY 
ARE WORRIED THAT THEY MAY NOT 
BE ABLE TO RETURN. 
KAITLYN ROSS SPOKE TO GEORGIA 
TECH STUDENTS ABOUT THEIR 
CONCERNS. 
>> STUDENTS AREN'T THE ONLY 
ONES CONCERNED. 
COLLEGES ACROSS GEORGIA SENT 
OUT ALERTS THIS PAST WEEK 
WARNING STUDENTS TO BE CAREFUL, 
WEAR MASKS AND SOCIALLY 
DISTANCE OVER THE LABOR DAY 
HOLIDAY. 
THEY SAY THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN 
INCONSISTENT IN HOUSING FIRST 
TELLING STUDENTS WHO SHARE A 
ROOM THEY WOULD HAVE TO MOVE 
OUT, THEN BACKING DOWN AND 
CALLING THE MOVES VOLUNTARY. 
IN AN EMAIL TO PARENTS THE 
ADMINISTRATOR SAID THEIR CAMPUS 
TESTING SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM 
INDICATED A HIGH SPREAD AMONG 
ROOMMATES BUT SAID IT'S 
ULTIMATELY UP TO EACH FAMILY 
WHETHER THEIR STUDENT REMAINS 
IN A DOUBLE OCCUPANCY ROOM. 
>> LOGISTICALLY THERE ARE SO 
MANY MOVING PARTS AND I FEEL 
LIKE WE KEEP BEING TOLD HOW 
DIFFICULT IT IS AND HOW MANY 
THINGS THEY'RE DOING TO MAKE 
SURE THE SITUATION IS SAFE, BUT 
THERE WAS A VERY EASY WAY FOR 
THEM TO MAKE THE SITUATION SAFE 
BEFORE ALL OF THIS HAPPENED 
THAT WOULD HAVE I THINK MADE IT 
EASIER FOR THEM TO HAVE A GOOD 
ONLINE CLASS EXPERIENCE AT THE 
VERY LEAST, WHEREAS NOW WE'RE 
ON CAMPUS AND I DON'T THINK 
ANYBODY'S VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW. 
>> FOURTH YEAR STUDENT KELLY 
O'NEIL WORRIES IF THE COVID-19 
INFECTION RATE GETS HIGHER, 
STUDENTS WILL BE FORCED TO GO 
FULLY VIRTUAL EVEN THOUGH MOST 
OF THEM ARE ALREADY TAKING A 
MAJORITY OF CLASSES ONLINE.

MILITARY VETERANS IN THE UNITED 
STATES, THE MAJORITY OVER AGE 
60 AND IN THE CORONAVIRUS HIGH 
RISK GROUP AS WELL. 
TODAY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF 
VETERAN AFFAIRS IS REPORTING A 
SOMBER MILESTONE HERE. 
MORE THAN 3,000 DEATHS FROM 
COVID-19, MORE  
THAN 53,000VA EMPLOYEES HAVE 
CONTRACTED THE VIRUS. 
IN GEORGIA 82 VETERANS HAVE 
DIED FROM COVID-19 AND THERE 
ARE 131 ACTIVE CASES AND NEARLY 
2,000 VETERANS AND VA EMPLOYEES 
ARE RECOVERING FROM THE VIRUS. 
GEORGIA IS THE FASTEST GROWING 
STATE IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IT 
COMES TO VETERANS ACCORDING TO 
THE U.S. SECRETARY OF VETERAN 
AFFAIRS ROBERT WILKIE. 
HE VISITED THE ATLANTA VA 
ADMINISTRATION TODAY. 
GETTING AN UPDATE FROM THE 
DIRECTOR ON THE IMPACTS OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS, SECRETARY WILKE 
SPOKE ABOUT THE WAYS THE 
FACILITY HAS ADAPTED TO HELP 
MORE VETERANS IN THIS PANDEMIC. 
>> IN A NORMAL MONTH ATLANTA VA 
CONDUCTS 950 TELEHEALTH 
APPOINTMENTS. 
DURING THE PANDEMIC THAT NUMBER 
HAS GONE TO 20,000. 
THAT MEANS WE'RE REACHING 
VETERANS WHERE THEY LIVE. 
>> SECRETARY WILKIE DID NOT 
ADDRESS ONGOING CONCERNS ABOUT 
ADEQUATE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 
FOR VA WORKERS. 
SOME NURSES RALLIED OUTSIDE THE 
ATLANTA VA MEDICAL CENTER BACK 
IN APRIL COMPLAINING THAT THE 
LACK OF MASKS AND OTHER 
SUPPLIES PUT THEM AT RISK. 
LAST MONTH A REPORT OBTAINED BY 
KAISER HEALTH NEWS SHOWED 
GEORGIA WAS FACING A

>>> WE'RE STILL WATCHING THAT 
WEAK SYSTEM WITH LIMITED 
MOISTURE THAT IS MOVING THROUGH 
NORTHWEST AND NORTH GEORGIA 
NOW. 
THERE ARE ONLY JUST A COUPLE 
SHOWERS AROUND. 
THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TALKING 
ABOUT YESTERDAY WITH A REALLY 
LOW RAIN CHANCE OVER PARTS OF 
NORTH GEORGIA AND THIS IS ALL 
THAT'S REALLY LEFT OF THAT 
SYSTEM. 
THERE ARE A COUPLE SPOTTY 
SHOWERS. 
YOU CAN SEE THEM COMING IN 
PUSHING DOWN TOWARD THE SOUTH 
AND EAST. 
THIS ONE WAS MOVING NEAR ROME. 
IT'S IN THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF 
FLOYD COUNTY TRYING TO MOVE 
INTO THE NORTHERN PARTS OF POLK 
COUNTY, SOUTHWESTERN AREAS OF 
BARTOW COUNTY. 
I THINK IT'S GOING TO FALL 
APART AS IT MOVES INTO THE 
NORTHERN PARTS OF PAULDING 
COUNTY, JUST A LITTLE MODERATE 
RAIN IN ASSOCIATION WITH THAT 
RIGHT ON THE FLOYD, POLK AND 
BARTOW COUNTY LINE. 
THAT'S MOVING DOWN TO THE SOUTH 
AND EAST. 
A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN HERE 
JUST TRYING TO MOVE INTO NORTH 
FULTON COMING OUT OF CHEROKEE 
COUNTY. 
THAT'S PART OF THAT SAME SYSTEM 
THAT IS FALLING APART. 
YOU CAN SEE THAT'S IN 
ASSOCIATION WITH THAT AREA OF 
RAIN WE WERE WATCHING EARLIER 
TONIGHT IN TENNESSEE MOVING 
INTO NORTH CAROLINA. 
WE ARE EXPECTING IT TO WEAKEN. 
THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW AS 
THOSE SHOWERS FALL APART. 
I DON'T THINK WE'LL SEE ANY OF 
THAT MAKING IT INSIDE THE 
PERIMETER HERE WITHIN THE NEXT 
WHILE. 
WE WILL STAY DRY IN OUR AREA. 
TAKE A LIVE LOOK OUT THERE NOW. 
THIS IS OUR TOWER CAM THAT WE 
HAVE IN THE ATHENS AREA WHERE 
YOU CAN SEE THE STREETS ARE DRY 
IN ATHENS, NICE NIGHT. 
IT'S KIND OF MILD TONIGHT. 
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF TEMPERATURES 
STILL HOLDING IN THE 80s IN A 
LOT OF SPOTS. 
WE'RE AT 83 HERE, ATHENS AT 80, 
EATONTON 84, 80s IN DULUTH, 
MARIETTA, CANTON, GAINSVILLE, 
ROME AND DALTON, 70s SOUTHWEST 
OF THE CITY AND UP IN NORTH 
GEORGIA IN BLAIRSVILLE AND 
CLAYTON. 
WE'LL WATCH TEMPERATURES 
FALLING THROUGH THE LATE NIGHT 
HOURS. 
WE'LL BE AT 79 AT MIDNIGHT AND 
INTO THE LOWER 70s BY TOMORROW 
MORNING. 
IT'S GOING TO BE A NICE, SUNNY 
START. 
IT WILL BE ON THE MILD SIDE AND 
THEN WE WARM UP QUICKLY DURING 
THE DAY TOMORROW GETTING UP TO 
ABOUT 89. 
TODAY'S HIGH WAS 92. 
SO WE'LL BE A LITTLE LOWER 
TOMORROW. 
I THINK WE'LL STAY JUST SHY OF 
THE 90-DEGREE MARK AND 
CELEBRATION OF STAYING BELOW 90 
WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, A DRY 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND. 
WE'RE GOING WITH A 10 ON THE 
WIZOMETER, NOT QUITE AN 11 
BECAUSE IT'S STILL ABOVE 
AVERAGE, BUT IT'S REALLY A NICE 
DAY. 
LOOK AT THE FORECAST TRACK. 
YOU CAN SEE THE AREA WE'RE 
WATCHING FALLING APART. 
THEN TOMORROW WE START OFF WITH 
PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AROUND. 
IT'S GOING TO BE DRY, LUNCHTIME 
MOSTLY SUNNY, PARTLY CLOUDY IN 
THE AFTERNOON. 
THAT MIGHT BE A COUPLE LITTLE 
CLOUDS MIXING IN WITH SUNSHINE, 
BUT THEY WON'T BE RAIN 
PRODUCERS. 
SUNDAY IT'S DRY AGAIN WITH NICE 
WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THE 
MORNING, AT LUNCHTIME AND IN 
THE AFTERNOON AND THAT IS GOING 
TO PERSIST ALSO INTO MONDAY FOR 
YOUR LABOR DAY HOLIDAY WITH DRY 
WEATHER CONDITIONS THERE, TOO. 
WE'RE STILL KEEPING AN EYE ON 
THE TROPICS HERE. 
WE HAD THE ONE SYSTEM THAT'S UP 
TO THE NORTH THAT IS FALLING 
APART AND NOW WE HAVE A FEW 
OTHER SYSTEMS WE'RE WATCHING 
HERE IN THE ATLANTIC. 
THIS ONE HERE ONLY HAS A 20 TO 
30% CHANCE OF DEVELOPING, BUT 
THIS ONE IN RED HAS A 40 TO 80% 
CHANCE OF DEVELOPING OVER THE 
NEXT FIVE DAYS. 
THAT'S THE ONE WE'RE WATCHING 
COMING OFF THE COAST OF AFRICA 
AS IT GETS INTO THIS RED 
DEVELOPMENT ZONE HERE. 
WE'LL SEE A BETTER CHANCE IT 
WILL DEVELOP. 
ANOTHER SYSTEM COMING OFF THE 
COAST OF AFRICA WHEN IT MOVES 
INTO THIS AREA. 
IT WILL HAVE ABOUT A 60% CHANCE 
OF DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT 
FIVE DAYS. 
IT'S THE ACTIVE TIME, TYPICALLY 
THE PEAK OF HURRICANE SEASON 
BEING SEPTEMBER 10th. 
10s ON THE WIZOMETER FOR 
SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND MONDAY. 
SUNDAY AND MONDAY MORNING THE 
LOW TEMPERATURES IN 60s WITH 
DRIER AIR IN PLACE, HIGHS 
AROUND 87, BACK TO A 20% CHANCE 
OF A SHOWER LATE TUESDAY, THEN 
A 40% CHANCE WEDNESDAY, 
THURSDAY, FRIDAY WITH HIGHS 
AROUND 76 TO 80 DEGREES.

CHALLENGE, A GAME OF RUSSIAN 
ROULETTE REACHING HOMES 
EVERYWHERE. 
>> TIKTOK MAY BE FUN FOR A LOT 
OF KIDS, BUT WE KNOW SOME 
PARENTS HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE 
CONTENT ON THAT APP. 
THERE ARE WAYS TO LIMIT WHAT 
YOUR KIDS CAN SEE. 
SEARCH FOR THE PARENTAL 
CONTROLS TO KEEP YOUR CHILDREN 
SAFE. 
PARENTS CAN ACTUALLY REMOTELY 
RESTRICT FEED CONTENT, STOP 
DIRECT MESSAGES AND LIMIT HOW 
MUCH TIME THEIR CHILD SPENDS ON 
THE APP BY LINKING THEIR 
CHILDREN'S ACCOUNT WITH THEIR 
OWN.

DIGITAL PRODUCER JONATHAN 
RAYMOND TAKES A CLOSER LOOK. 
>> I THINK WE ARE GOING TO JUST 
WING IT UNTIL WE CAN'T WING IT 
ANYMORE. 
AND I MEAN NOT KNOWING HOW LONG 
THIS IS GOING TO BE A THING, 
THAT'S WHY I'M JUST LIKE OKAY, 
AM I GOING TO KEEP MY KID IN 
THIS LITTLE BUBBLE FOREVER? 
HOW DO WE PROCEED FROM HERE? 
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE NEXT 
THING IS, BUT I'M TRYING TO BE 
REALISTIC ABOUT IT AND CONSIDER 
THAT, YOU KNOW, HE MIGHT HAVE 
TO END UP IN SCHOOL. 
>> MANY OF THE FAMILIES WE 
SERVE HAVE DIABETES, 
HYPERTENSION AND OTHER CHRONIC 
DISEASES. 
A LOT OF THE FAMILIES WE SERVE 
WANT THE CHILDREN TO BE BACK IN 
SCHOOL. 
THEY KNOW THAT'S A GREAT PLACE 
FOR THE KIDS. 
30% OF THE GRANDPARENTS IN OUR 
PROGRAM ARE OVER AGE 60 AND WE 
HAVE GRANDPARENTS IN THEIR 70s 
AND SOMETIMES IN THEIR 80s WHO 
ARE RAISING GRANDCHILDREN. 
SO THE TRANSMISSION ACROSS 
GENERATIONS IS A LEGITIMATE 
CONCERN THAT THEY HAVE. 
>> IF YOU HAVE A 
MULTIGENERATIONAL HOUSEHOLD, 
THE OLDER PEOPLE DEFINITELY ARE 
AT THE HIGHEST RISK. 
I DO HAVE ONE IN MY HOUSE. 
MY PARENTS LIVE WITH ME AND I 
HAVE A 4 1/2-YEAR-OLD. 
I MADE THE DECISION TO SEND HIM 
TO HIS PRESCHOOL SUMMER CAMP 
AND I DID DISCUSS THAT WITH MY 
PARENTS. 
HAVING A 4 1/2-YEAR-OLD IS 
VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE 
HIM UNDERSTAND THAT HE NEEDS TO 
BE AWAY FROM HIS GRANDPARENTS. 
HE'S JUST NOT GOING TO DO THAT. 
IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER CHILD THAT 
MAY BE A CONVERSATION YOU TRY 
TO HAVE. 
>> IT'S VERY HARD AS A PARENT 
NOT TO LET YOUR EMOTIONS COME 
INTO THIS, BUT I THINK YOU NEED 
TO LOOK AT THE CASES IN YOUR 
AREA. 
LOOK AT WHAT IS YOUR SCHOOL 
DOING TO TRY TO PROTECT YOUR 
CHILD? 
DO YOU THINK THAT'S SUFFICIENT 
OR NOT SUFFICIENT? 
HAVE THERE BEEN CASES IN THE 
SCHOOL ALREADY? 
IN YOUR COMMUNITY WHAT'S 
HAPPENING? 
ALL THOSE FACTORS SHOULD GO 
INTO MAKING THAT DECISION. 
>> WELL TO, SEE,

THERE STORY, LOOK ON THE AS 
SEEN ON TV SECTION IN THE

EXPECTED TO BRING IN $35 
MILLION WITH $30 MILLION 
ESTIMATED FROM THE LABOR DAY 
GAME. 
ATLANTA STARTED THE YEAR WITH 
39 CONVENTIONS ON THE CALENDAR. 
DOZENS OF THOSE CITYWIDE 
CONVENTIONS CANCELED, OF 
COURSE, BECAUSE OF THE 
PANDEMIC. 
THE TOTAL ESTIMATED ECONOMIC 
IMPACT FOR THOSE EVENTS, $640 
MILLION. 
>>> WE'RE WATCHING THAT WEAK 
SYSTEM WITH VERY LIMITED 
MOISTURE MOVING THROUGH NORTH 
AND WEST GEORGIA RIGHT NOW WITH 
JUST A LITTLE RAIN. 
MOST OF THIS IS FALLING APART. 
WE HAVE ONE BIT STILL HOLDING 
TOGETHER COMING OUT OF FLOYD 
COUNTY INTO THE NORTHERN PARTS 
OF POLK COUNTY, SOUTHERN PARTS 
OF BARTOW COUNTY TRYING TO GET 
INTO THE NORTHERN PARTS OF 
PAULDING COUNTY. 
IT DOES HAVE A LITTLE MODERATE 
RAIN WITH IT AT TAYLORSVILLE 
STRETCHING OVER TO 
CARTERSVILLE, A FEW SPRINKLES 
OVER TOWARDS 75 REALLY CLOSE TO 
ALLATOONA LAKE. 
IF YOU'RE UNDER THAT SHOWER, IT 
WON'T LAST LONG. 
IT'S NOT A STORM. 
IT'S NOT SEVERE. 
IT'S JUST GOING TO WEAKEN AS IT 
MOVES EAST. 
WE WERE WATCHING ONE A MINUTE 
AGO COMING INTO NORTHERN PART 
OF FULTON COUNTY, NORTH FULTON, 
AND THAT HAS ALREADY FALLEN 
APART, TOO. 
WE THINK THE SAME THING WILL 
HAPPEN WITH THIS ONE TO THE 
WEST OF US. 
YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE SHOWERS 
IN THE NORTH CAROLINA 
MOUNTAINS. 
WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF FALSE 
ECHOS ON RADAR TONIGHT. 
NOT ALL THIS GREEN SHOWING UP 
HERE IS RAIN. 
MOST OF THOSE ARE FALSE ECHOS. 
ONCE THIS SWEEPS THROUGH WE'LL 
HAVE SOME EVEN DRIER AIR THAT 
WILL MOVE IN AS WE HEAD INTO 
THE WEEKEND. 
THAT NOT ONLY MEANS NO RAIN, 
BUT IT ALSO MEANS LOWER 
RELATIVE HUMIDITY WITH SOME 
DRIER AIR IN PLACE. 
HERE'S A LIVE LOOK AND COWETA 
COUNTY LOOKING AT THE 
COURTHOUSE WHERE IT IS A NICE 
NIGHT BUT STILL MILD. 
OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS 
TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE 
FALLING FROM THE 80s INTO THE 
70s DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. 
BY TOMORROW MORNING STARTING 
OFF IN THE CITY LOWER 70s, BUT 
OUTSIDE THE CITY WE'LL HAVE 
SOME 60s AROUND AS THE DRIER 
AIR STARTS TO MOVE IN. 
IT'S GOING TO BE A REALLY NICE 
START TO THE DAY. 
IT WILL BE A NICE END TO THE 
DAY AS WELL. 
WILL BE IT A NICE END TO THE 
LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND? 
WE'LL BREAK DOWN THAT SEVEN-DAY 
OUTLOOK COMING UP. 
THIS NOVEMBER REPUBLICAN 
SENATOR DAVID PERDUE WILL FACE 
OFF AGAINST DEMOCRAT JON OSSOFF 
AND IT'S  ONE OF THE MOST 
IMPORTANT ELECTIONS ON THE 
BALLOT, BUT WE HAVEN'T HEARD A 
LOT FROM PERDUE. 
11ALIVE'S DOUG RICHARDS LOOKS 
AT WHY THE SILENCE MAY BE BY 
DESIGN. 
>> BY HIS ADVERTISING YOU WOULD 
CERTAINLY KNOW SENATOR DAVID 
PERDUE IS RUNNING FOR 
REELECTION, BUT BY HIS CAMPAIGN 
SCHEDULE YOU'D HARDLY KNOW IT 
AT ALL. 
SENATOR DAVID PERDUE'S OFFICE 
SAYS THE SENATOR SPENT AUGUST 
TRAVELING AROUND THE STATE. 
THEY DOCUMENT PERDUE'S VISITS 
WITH PHOTOS AND NEWS RELEASES 
SENT OUT AFTER HIS EVENTS HAVE 
CONCLUDED. 
PERDUE RARELY SENDS OUT A 
SCHEDULE IN ADVANCE. 
WHEN HE HAS AS FOR THIS EVENT 
IN APRIL 2017, HE SOMETIMES 
DRAWS NOISY PROTESTERS. 
IN FACT, CAROLINE STOVER IS 
AMONG THOSE WHO REGULARLY 
PROTEST OUTSIDE PERDUE'S OFFICE 
IN BUCKHEAD. 
>> I HAVE NOT MET OR HEARD OF 
ANYONE WHO HAS HAD FACE-TO-FACE 
TIME WITH SENATOR PERDUE. 
>> Reporter:  HOW LONG HAVE YOU 
BEEN TRYING TO SEE DAVID 
PERDUE? 
>> IT'S BEEN 3 1/2 YEARS. 
>> I DO IT DIFFERENTLY. 
I ENGAGE INDIVIDUALLY AND IN 
SMALL GROUP SAYS. 
WE DO A LOT OF THAT IN THIS 
STATE. 
>> Reporter:  THAT WAS PERDUE 
IN FEBRUARY 2017 ABOUT A MONTH 
INTO DONALD TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY. 
PERDUE HAD BECOME AN OUTSPOKEN 
SUPPORTER OF TRUMP'S POLICY. 
HE DREW PROTESTERS THEN. 
TRUMP'S POLICIES DREW 
PROTESTERS THIS WEEK AT EVENTS 
HELD BY GEORGIA'S OTHER 
REPUBLICAN SENATOR KELLY 
LOEFFLER. 
UNLIKE PERDUE, LOEFFLER HAS 
ANNOUNCED CAMPAIGN EVENTS IN 
ADVANCE AND ENCOURAGED 
ATTENDANCE. 
LOEFFLER'S TWITTER SITE SHOWED 
PROTESTERS INSIDE ANOTHER OF 
HER EVENTS THURSDAY. 
CAN YOU BLAME SENATOR PERDUE 
FOR WANTING TO AVOID 
CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THAT? 
>> IF HE'S AFRAID OF 
CONTROVERSY, THEN HE SHOULD NOT 
BE OUR REPRESENTATIVE IN 
WASHINGTON, D.C. 
>> SENATOR PERDUE CONTINUES TO 
BE A REGULAR ON NATIONAL CABLE 
NEWS SHOWS, PARTICULARLY FOX 
NEWS. 
WE ASKED HIS OFFICE FOR COMMENT 
ON THE STORY. 
WE GOT NO RESPONSE.

AGAINST REPORTING IN THE 
"ATLANTIC MAGAZINE" THAT HE 
CALLED DEAD AMERICAN SERVICE 
MEMBERS LOSERS AND SUCKERS. 
>> IT WAS A TOTALLY FAKE STORY 
AND THAT WAS CONFIRMED BY MANY 
PEOPLE WHO WERE ACTUALLY THERE. 
IT WAS A TERRIBLE THING THAT 
SOMEBODY COULD SAY THE KIND OF 
THINGS AND ESPECIALLY TO ME 
BECAUSE I'VE DONE MORE FOR THE 
MILITARY THAN ALMOST ANYBODY 
ELSE.

FIVE YEARS AS A PRISONER OF WAR

>>> WE CONTINUE TO WATCH THE 
WEAK SYSTEM WITH VERY LIMITED 
MOISTURE MOVING THROUGH NORTH 
GEORGIA NOW. 
WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF FALSE 
ECHOS TONIGHT ON RADAR. 
IGNORE MOST OF THIS GREEN THAT 
YOU SEE ON HERE. 
THIS IS THE ONE LONE CELL WE 
HAVE RIGHT NOW THAT HAS JUST A 
LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN AND A 
LITTLE POCKET OF MODERATE RAIN 
ON THE BARTOW COUNTY LINE AND 
THE PAULDING COUNTY LINE THAT 
IS A LITTLE MODERATE JUST SOUTH 
OF CARTERSVILLE GETTING CLOSER 
TO ALLATOONA LAKE. 
IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS CAMPING ON 
THE LAKE, THEY MAY GET A LITTLE 
BIT WET. 
IT WON'T LAST A LONG TIME. 
WE HAD A SHOWER COMING INTO 
NORTH FULTON A WHILE AGO THAT 
HAS ALREADY FALLEN APART. 
WE EXPECT THIS ONE TO FALL 
APART AS WELL. 
THAT WAS PART OF WHAT WAS 
MOVING THROUGH TENNESSEE AND 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT 
WEAKENING AS IT MOVES IN 
TONIGHT. 
THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW. 
ONCE THIS PUSHES THROUGH IT'S 
GOING TO REINFORCE DRIER AIR IN 
PLACE IN OUR AREA. 
SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS MOVED 
THROUGH FLOYD COUNTY EARLIER. 
THIS IS A LIVE LOOK IN ROME. 
THE ROADS ARE DRY DOWNTOWN. 
IT DIDN'T IMPACT A LOT OF 
PEOPLE, JUST A FEW FOLKS ON THE 
SOUTH SIDE OF FLOYD COUNTY. 
THAT'S MOVING THROUGH BARTOW 
INTO PAULDING COUNTY AS WELL. 
THE AIR IS STILL KIND OF MOIST 
HERE EVEN THOUGH WE HAVEN'T HAD 
ANY SHOWERS. 
IT'S BEEN HUMAN. 
THIS IS OUR MOISTURE MAP. 
THE YELLOW IS WHEN IT GETS MORE 
MOIST. 
WHERE YOU SEE ORANGE AND RED 
COLORS LIKE DOWN IN FLORIDA, 
THAT'S WHERE THE HUMIDITY 
LEVELS AND MOISTURE CONTENT IN 
THE AIR IS A LOT HIGHER. 
THE BLUE IS WHERE IT'S KIND OF 
DRY. 
THAT'S GOING TO BE MOVING OUR 
WAY. 
SEE THIS REINFORCING SHOT OF 
DRIER AIR MOVING OUR WAY? 
TO THE EAST STILL HUMID, BUT 
THE DRIER AIR COMES INTO NORTH 
GEORGIA. 
THEN THAT FILTERS IN HERE 
SUNDAY AS WELL. 
ON SUNDAY NOT ONLY ARE WE NOT 
GOING TO HAVE RAIN AROUND, BUT 
THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS 
WILL BE A LOT LOWER. 
THAT'S GOING TO GIVE US A NICER 
FEEL TO THE AIR WITH HIGH 
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID-80s ON 
SUNDAY AND LOWER HUMIDITY. 
THAT'S NOT GOING TO FEEL TOO 
BAD. 
WITH THIS LOWER HUMIDITY AROUND 
AND LOWER DEW POINTS IN THE 
MORNING TIMES ON SUNDAY AND 
MONDAY OUR TEMPERATURES WILL 
DROP A LITTLE MORE INTO THE 
60s. 
THEN ON MONDAY IT'S STILL GOING 
TO BE DRY HERE, BUT THEN NOTICE 
ON TUESDAY ANOTHER DRY DAY, BUT 
THIS MOISTURE STARTING TO BUILD 
BACK IN. 
ONCE WE GET INTO WEDNESDAY AND 
ESPECIALLY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY 
WITH THIS MOISTURE CONTENT 
HIGHER IN THE AIR, WE'LL 
REINTRODUCE THOSE SHOWERS 
MOVING BACK INTO OUR AREA. 
IT GOT HOT TODAY, 92 THE HIGH, 
ABOVE AVERAGE. 
WE SHOULD BE AROUND 86 FOR THIS 
TIME OF YEAR. 
IT WAS A REALLY MILD START THIS 
MORNING AT 74. 
WE SHOULD START OFF AT 69. 
WATCHING THE RAIN SURPLUS 
SHRINKING A BIT BECAUSE WE 
HAVEN'T HAD RAIN THE PAST 
COUPLE DAYS, BUT WE HAVE A LOT 
OF A SURPLUS HERE, 13.61 INCHES 
ABOVE WHERE WE SHOULD BE IN 
RAINFALL FOR THE YEAR. 
LET'S CHECK OUT WEATHER 
HEADLINES. 
WE'LL HAVE A DRY HOLIDAY 
WEEKEND AND NOT ONLY NO RAIN, 
BUT ALSO THE HUMIDITY LEVEL IS 
STARTING TO COME DOWN, TOO. 
HIGH TEMPERATURES STILL WARM. 
OUR AVERAGE HIGH FOR THIS TIME 
OF YEAR IS 86 DEGREES. 
WE'LL BE AT ABOUT 89. 
IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE ABOVE 
AVERAGE, BUT AT LEAST WE THINK 
WE'LL GET A BREAK FROM THE 90s 
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. 
THE RAIN RETURNS ONCE WE GET 
INTO NEXT WEEK. 
HERE'S THE FORECAST FOR YOUR 
SATURDAY. 
ON OUR SCALE FROM 1 TO 11 WHERE 
11 IS A PERFECT DAY, WE'RE 
GOING WITH 10, NOT QUITE 
PERFECT BECAUSE THE HIGH 
TEMPERATURE IS STILL ABOVE 
AVERAGE, BUT AT LEAST IT'S 
BELOW 90, 89 DEGREES THE HIGH 
WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. 
LOOK AT THE REST OF THE 
FORECAST THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. 
THE HIGH'S NEAR 87 SUNDAY AND 
MONDAY FOR LABOR DAY. 
AGAIN THE MORNING LOWS IN THE 
60s SUNDAY AND MONDAY, AGAIN 
TUESDAY, MID-60s FOR A LOW. 
THEN WE GO BACK TO A 20% CHANCE 
OF A SHOWER LATE TUESDAY, RAIN 
CHANCES BACK TO 40% WEDNESDAY, 
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. 
THAT CORRESPONDS WITH THE 
INCREASE IN ADDITIONAL MOISTURE 
IN THE AIR. 
HIGH TEMPERATURES AROUND 86, 87 
DEGREES FOR THE MIDDLE AND END 
OF THE WEEK.

INDESCRIBABLE. 
>> Reporter:  TYEHESHA SAYS 
THERE IS NO SHAME IN ASKING FOR 
SUPPORT BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN 
THERE, TOO.

HEAVY RAIN BUT THIS HAS BEEN 
WEAKENING. 
SOME OF THAT CAME THROUGH 
BARTOW COUNTY. 
AS IT MOVES INTO NORTHERN COBB 
IT IS FALLING APART. 
WE THINK THAT TREND WILL 
CONTINUE. 
IT IS ALL PART OF THAT SYSTEM 
THAT WE WERE TELLING YOU ABOUT 
LAST NIGHT WITH LIMITED 
MOISTURE. 
THAT WILL GIVE A 20% CHANCE FOR 
A SHOWER OVER NORTH GEORGIA. 
ONCE THIS MOVES THROUGH THIS IS 
GOING TO REINFORCE THE DRIER 
AIR IN PLACE. 
I AM TALKING ABOUT NOT JUST NO 
RAIN BUT LOWER HUMIDITY WILL 
START MOVING IN.

WE ARE STILL IN THE 80s IN 
ATLANTA AT 82 DEGREES. 
LOWER 80s IN MARIETTA, ATHENS 
AND EATONTON. 
EVERYONE ELSE IS PRETTY MUCH IN 
THE 70s. 
TEMPERATURES IN THE MORNING IN 
THE LOWER 70s. 
YOU CAN SEE TEMPERATURES AROUND 
80 AT MIDNIGHT AND THEN FALLING 
INTO THE 70s. 
LOWER 70s TOMORROW. 
CLEAR SKIES WITH SUNSHINE. 
NO RAIN AND IT WILL BE A GREAT 
DAY WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING 
UP TO JUST SHY OF 90 DEGREES. 
WE WILL HIT 89 FOR OUR HIGH. 
WE RATE RATHER HERE WEATHER 
HERE ON A SCALE OF 1-11. 
TOMORROW WILL BE A 10. 
WE ARE STILL ABOVE AVERAGE. 
AVERAGE IS 86 AND WE WILL BE AT 
89. 
THAT IS WHY IT IS NOT A PERFECT 
DAY. 
INTO SUNDAY WE WILL SEE SOME 
DRIER AIR MOVING OUR WAY AND 
THAT WILL HELP SUNDAY MORNING 
TEMPERATURES GO DOWN. 
SATURDAY AND EASTERLY FLOW WITH 
A COUPLE OF CLOUDS MIXING WITH 
SUNSHINE. 
INTO SUNDAY WE START OFF WITH 
TEMPERATURES INTO THE 60s IN 
TOWN AND OUT OF THE CITY. 
THAT WILL BE A NICE CHANGE 
THEIR WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR. 
AND IT NOON STILL MOSTLY SUNNY. 
THAT DRY PATTERN WILL PERSIST 
INTO MONDAY AS WELL. 
A CHECK ON THE TROPICS, OMAR IS 
FALLING APART AND BARELY EVEN 
HOLDING ON AS A TROPICAL 
DEPRESSION. 
IT WILL BE A REMNANT LOW. 
WE HAVE THREE OTHER SYSTEMS IN 
THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN 
ATLANTIC. 
THIS ONE WILL FALL APART WE 
THINK. 
20-30% CHANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT. 
THIS ONE IS THE ONE THAT AS IT 
MOVES INTO THIS ZONE IT WILL 
HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE OF 
DEVELOPING. 
80% CHANCE OF DEVELOPING. 
THIS OTHER ONE OFF THE COAST OF 
AFRICA HAS ABOUT A 60% CHANCE 
OF DEVELOPING. 
STILL REALLY FAR AWAY. 
IT WILL TAKE A WHILE IF THE 
SYSTEMS EVEN MAKE IT TO THE 
UNITED STATES. 
89 FOR HIGH ON SATURDAY.

DOWNTOWN. 
WE SAW THE DARK PICTURE THERE 
BUT IT IS GETTING DARKER 
EARLIER. 
AND THERE IS A BIG CHANGE 
BETWEEN LAST NIGHTS SUNSET, NOT 
REALLY A BIG CHANGE, BUT A TWO-
MINUTE CHANGE BETWEEN LAST 
NIGHT SUNSET AND TONIGHT'S 
SUNSET. 
LAST NIGHT THE SUNSET AT 8:00 
SO THAT WAS THE LAST SUNSET AT 
8:00 OR AFTER 8:00 THAT WE WILL 
HAVE UNTIL NEXT SPRING. 
TONIGHT SUNSET AT 7:58. 
SUNSET WILL BE GETTING EARLIER 
AND EARLIER. 
ONE GOOD THING TO HAVE IS SOME 
DRIER AIR THAT IS MOVING OUR 
WAY. 
TODAY WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY RAIN 
AROUND OR RAIN YESTERDAY THE 
DAY BEFORE. 
WE HAD A LOT OF HUMIDITY THAT 
MADE IT FEEL MUGGY. 
DEW POINTS ARE COMING DOWN. 
YOU CAN SEE WHEN WE HAVE DEW 
POINTS IN THE 60s THAT IS HUMID 
BUT NOT AS OPPRESSIVE AS IN THE 
70s. 
WHEN WE DIP INTO THE 50s THAT 
IS A COMFORTABLE FEEL TO THE 
AIR. 
YOU WILL NOTICE THAT LATER ON 
SATURDAY AND DEFINITELY ON 
SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH LOWER 
HUMIDITY THAT WE WILL HAVE IN 
OUR AREA. 
WITH LOWER DEW POINTS THAT WILL 
HELP MORNING TEMPERATURES ON 
SUNDAY AND MONDAY GO DOWN. 
YOU CAN SEE THE MOISTURE MAP 
SHOWING WHERE YOU HAVE YELLOW 
AND GREEN, THAT IS WHEN IT GETS 
MORE MOIST AIR. 
BLUE IS DRIER AIR AND THAT 
STARTS COMING IN TOMORROW AND 
REINFORCING THE DRIER AIR FOR 
SUNDAY AND MONDAY. 
THIS TIMES OUT PERFECTLY FOR 
THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND TO NOT ONLY 
HAVE RAIN BUT LOWER HUMIDITY 
AND NOT QUITE AS MUGGY. 
AS WE GO INTO TUESDAY MORE 
MOISTURE STARTS COMING BACK. 
MORE WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY 
AND THAT MOISTURE WILL RESPOND 
WITH RAIN CHANCES THAT GO UP 
FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. 
DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS SATURDAY 
THROUGH MONDAY. 
MORNING LOWS IN THE 60s. 
88 TUESDAY WITH THE RAIN CHANCE 
LATE IN THE DAY AND A 40% FOR 
SHOWERS WEDNESDAY THROUGH 
FRIDAY.

SPRINTING TOWARD THE END ZONE. 
CAL WOULD KEEP IT CLOSE. 
THE REVERSE TO DAVID AND HE 
GOES AROUND EVERYBODY WITH A 
TOUCHDOWN. 
FOR WALTON, IT IS TOUGH OUT 
THERE.

WINNER BY A TOUCHDOWN.

WESLEY AND STARTING ITS ROAD 
BACK TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER 
FINISHING LAST SEASON AS THE

YOU CAN SEE THE ENTHUSIASM. 
ALLA TUNA KEPT ON FIGHTING. 
A HUGE TOUCHDOWN PASS TO CALEB

TIME DEFENDING CHAMPS TAKING ON
