Cooling centers open in the city of Atlanta and Cobb County this weekend

Katy Ruth Camp, a spokeswoman for MUST Ministries, said the cooling center would be closed Monday but she anticipated reopening Tuesday.

Cobb County Transit is providing free transportation vouchers for south Cobb residents who want to go to the shelter, she said.

Cobb County allocated $108,000 to help MUST Ministries fund the operation of a cooling center in the county from June through September.

DeKalb County will not open cooling centers this weekend because while temperatures are expected to be high, they are not expected to trigger a heat advisory, a spokesperson said.

High temperatures are expected to reach around 96 degrees on Saturday and 94 degrees on Sunday.
