Good morning, Warner Robins.

The US Drought Monitor now shows that drought has spread across most of Middle Georgia today as very little rain and above-average temperatures dry out the soil—rainfall is forecast for next week but it is expected to be minimal, keeping the conditions unchanged.

Warner Robins held a mayoral debate where Mayor LaRhonda Patrick and challenger Fabian Velazquez discussed the city budget, crime, and North Side revitalization — Patrick defended her record and Velazquez pledged new projects — as voters prepare for the Nov.

4 election.

On Sept. 16, Houston County Commissioners approved six new sheriff’s office positions, nine additional firefighters, and a proposed alcohol license for a Bonaire store—aiming to boost county safety.

After the meeting, they held a town hall on a potential 12-acre Echeconnee Creek Park near the Houston/Bibb line that may get funding from the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program.

Today, Warner Robins begins its second annual Burger Week — 20 local restaurants serve specialty burgers with creative twists following National Cheeseburger Day.

Residents can taste various creations and vote for their favorite during the nine day interactive event to win prizes.

Houston County Bears are 5-0 under head coach Jeremy Edwards, who said he wants his team to take one game at a time.

He stressed that discipline, recovery, and a strong supporting cast help both the young offense and defense stay healthy.
