At the end of the 11:06AM weather from Fox 5 the anchor gave the time but no temp, no current conditions, nothing. The most important part of the weather is current conditions. I need to know if I am in shorts or pants.  |

I've also noticed they run the same weather forecast for hours and never give the temperature. On Tuesday, weather conditions kept changing, but the forecast didn't.

It should be something like: Currently the Fox 5 weather radar (or whatever they call it) is clear for all of the metro. With sunny skies, the current temp at Hartsfield-Jackson is 71, Marietta 73, and Lawenceville 74.They really are missing the point on the weather. I could call a weather line to keep hearing the same forecast over and over. The weather line would at least give me the temp. Just know that I am saying all of this about weather because it has been a recurring problem that has not been fixed yet. |

The news anchor is supposed to give current conditions right after the recorded forecast. I heard them do it - but not all the time.

4:06PM weather. Went from recorded Fox 5 forecast to "All News 106.7 time is 4:08." No temp, no conditions, no nothing. I would have liked to know when I went out earlier that it was still in the 60s outside.
