It's parade time! 🍀

Join the Atlanta News First Weather Team and the First Alert Tracker at the Atlanta St. Patrick's Day Parade! It begins at noon on Peachtree TV and our app ANF+ #stpatricksdayparade

Lunar eclipse blood Moon

Eyes on the full blood moon late tonight. Total lunar eclipse in all of North America including Canada, US and Mexico. Rather symbolic don't you think?

CDC Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Transmission Between Cats and People The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the CDC but then abruptly vanished.

Defy expectations. Chart your own path.
