Good morning, Decatur and Avondale Estates. Here are 5 Things to know today.
1. Weather. It will be a lot like yesterday -- a high around 94, a low around 72 and a 20 percent chance of rain.
2. Tornado siren test. Don't panic. The City of Decatur is testing its tornado siren at 5 p.m. today. Normally, this happens the first Wednesday of the month, but since that was July 4th, the city put it off until Thusday.
