ATLANTA — The number of record-breaking days of heat came to an end Saturday. But that doesn't mean the hot and humid weather is going away this weekend.
Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Katie Walls said temperatures only reached 87 degrees Saturday after several days of record-breaking highs.
87° for a high today, a nice break from the extreme heat we've been dealing with for the last two weeks.

Friday marked the fourth consecutive day our temperatures broke the record. It reached 98 degrees, shattering the old record of 95 degrees set in 1991.

A line of strong storms rolled through metro Atlanta Friday, which caused a traffic mess for some drivers.
A Channel 2 Action News viewer shared and posted this video of flooding along Ga. 400 in Sandy Springs.
