Memorial Day morning rain around Atlanta | Weather outlook
SUMMARY: Morning Memorial Day rain around Atlanta is tapering off between 8 and 10 a.m., with lingering showers mostly ending by mid-morning. Early ceremonies before 9 a.m. might still see rain, but later events should be dry. Temperatures will reach the 70s as the area dries out. However, a stalled front across the Southeast will bring more clusters of storms and showers throughout the day, continuing into the next few days. Currently, rain is heaviest in Jasper County and areas near I-20, but intensity is decreasing, with lighter rain expected soon in Atlanta and nearby suburbs.

11Alive Meteorologist Melissa Nord has the details.

SUMMARY: Nathan Cureton, 38, kidnapped and killed 24-year-old Tayler Maraj on Interstate 85 in Anderson County, South Carolina, before shooting himself; both died at the scene. The two had a prior relationship. Sheriff Chad McBride criticized the judicial system for allowing Cureton, with a history of violent crimes including attempted murder and kidnapping, to remain free. Law enforcement urges victims of abuse to resist and seek help. Danny Varat, CEO of Safe Harbor, highlighted challenges victims face leaving abusive relationships and promoted resources like Safe Harbor and the National Domestic Violence Hotline for support.

Dealing with denied health insurance claims
SUMMARY: If your health insurance denies a test, treatment, or medication your doctor recommends, don’t pay out of pocket immediately—you have the right to appeal. In 2023, nearly 20% of in-network claims and over a third of out-of-network claims on healthcare.gov were denied. First, call your insurer to check for simple errors. If denied for other reasons, request the reviewer’s explanation and file a formal appeal with your doctor’s supporting letter and documentation. Appeals can take 30 days or more, but you can request expedited review for urgent care. If denied again, insurers must explain the denial and appeal options, including independent review or legal help for Medicare claims. Always question surprise medical bills before paying.

Don’t rush to pay for treatment out of pocket. You have the right to appeal a denial.
