If you have been waiting for a reason to finally mow the lawn or just sit outside and judge your neighbor’s landscaping, this is your week. Georgia is about to enjoy a rare stretch of dry, sunny weather—unless you live in north Georgia, where Sunday could bring some of those famous summer showers.
☀️ What We Know: The next five days are shaping up to be mostly dry, with temperatures slowly climbing to the expected levels for summer in the Peach State. Today kicked things off with clear skies and highs between 73 and 85 degrees. Sunday tries to stir up some drama with scattered storms in north Georgia, but the rest of the state will barely notice. By Monday, the sun is back in charge, and it stays that way through at least Wednesday. Highs will flirt with 91 degrees by midweek, so get ready to sweat.
🌦️ Why This Should Catch Your Attention: If you have outdoor plans, this is your green light—unless you are in north Georgia on Sunday, in which case, maybe keep an umbrella handy. For everyone else, it is the kind of weather that makes you forget how much you complained about the rain last month.
🌡️ Take Action: Hydrate, wear sunscreen, and maybe check on your neighbor who still insists on wearing flannel in June.

We live in a time when information feels overwhelming, but here’s what hasn’t changed: facts exist whether they comfort us or not.
When A&W launched their third-pound burger to compete with McDonald’s Quarter Pounder in the 1980s, it failed spectacularly. Not because it tasted worse, but because customers thought 1/3 was smaller than 1/4. If basic math can trip us up, imagine how easily we can misread complex news.
The press isn’t against you when it reports something you don’t want to hear. Reporters are thermometers, not the fever itself. They’re telling you what verified sources are saying, not taking sides. Good reporting should challenge you — that’s literally the job.
Next time a story makes you angry, pause. Ask yourself: What evidence backs this up? Am I reacting with my brain or my gut? What would actually change my mind? And most importantly, am I assuming bias just because the story doesn’t match what I hoped to hear.
Smart readers choose verified information over their own comfort zone.
