First, today's weather:

A stray morning thundershower. High: 87 Low: 67.

3. An East Cobb audiologist was recognized by Cobb Young Professionals (CYP). Dr. Melissa Wikoff, the founder and director of audiology at Peachtree Hearing, was recently named a Next Generation Award winner by CYP, the Cobb Chamber of Commerce’s networking and development arm for professionals in their 20s and 30s. According to the Cobb Chamber, "winners and nominees are all in their 20s or 30s, active within their community, demonstrate leadership ability in the community and in their current role, and offer a unique perspective."
