Officials confirmed that a warming center will be opening its doors on Tuesday morning to offer refuge from the chill. The Central Park Recreation Center, situated at 400 Merritts Ave. NE is the designated spot for those seeking shelter from the biting temperatures that have prompted this emergency response.

The warming center, a temporary haven against the cold, opened today at 8:00 a.m. and is set to remain operational through the preceding Monday at 10:00 a.m., as announced by the City of Atlanta. To ease access to these warm confines, the city has arranged transport services starting from 8:00 p.m. at the Gateway Center, located at 275 Pryor St. SW. Those who utilize the center's services can also expect return transportation once the center is deactivated.

The activation times of the warming center may shift in response to the latest predictions from the National Weather Service.

Those in need of the warming services can head to the Central Park Recreation Center, or for more information, they can visit the city's official website at https://www.atlantaga.gov, where updates and adjustments to the center's schedule will be promptly posted.
