Record heat continues across Georgia

Albany set the state's high temperature Tuesday--an official reading of 106. There were other triple-digit readings in the state as well, such as 104 in Augusta, and 101 in Athens.

Forecasters say a heat advisory is in effect again for most of Georgia today. There is an excessive heat warning for those in portions of central and east-central Georgia.

Officials with Ga Power report they set a record on Monday for one-day power demand from customers. They say it’s possible another record could be set later this week.
