 |  Security Tightens Ahead of Big Game
Atlanta police say they're adjusting security plans for Monday's college football championship game in the aftermath of the deadly New Orleans truck rampage on Bourbon Street. Police revealed few specifics of their plans but indicated road barriers would also be among the safety measures, noting a review was done of "how a vehicle was used to harm citizens to carry out the attack." Police also warned the public not to bring a cooler where they're not allowed, pointing out that explosives concealed in coolers were found in the New Orleans attack. The enhanced security will extend to Monday's Martin Luther King Jr. Day events, as well as concerts and celebrations scheduled for that weekend. | Rain Followed by Cold in Forecast The latest weather forecast calls for rain showers in Atlanta from Friday night into Saturday, followed by a cold blast but no moisture from Sunday through at least Tuesday, with Monday's high around 32 degrees. With the 2000 Super Bowl ice storms forever in their memory, Georgians are keeping a close eye on weather forecasts through Monday, when Atlanta hosts the college football title game and Martin Luther King Jr. Day events. In far north Georgia, the weekend moisture could fall as snow but significant accumulation isn't expected, according to weather experts, who caution the statewide outlook remains unsettled. | Georgia Nominees Await Hearings Former Georgia congressman Doug Collins' confirmation hearing for Secretary of Veterans Affairs will take place Jan. 21, with the FBI still working on the background checks for him and some other cabinet nominees. The hearing dates for other Georgians nominated for administration roles are pending. They include Kelly Loeffler to head the U.S. Small Business Administration, Herschel Walker as U.S. ambassador to The Bahamas, and Bill White as U.S. ambassador to Belgium. The GOP-led U.S. Senate began confirmation hearings this week. Thus far, Trump's picks appear likely to get confirmed. | |
