Everything you need to know to get you through the day.

Weather:

  • It's going to be a partly cloudy day and the high will be 88. Thanks to the recent rains, however, pollen is still low though Georgia's Clean Air Campaign is forecasting an air quality of 80, which is moderate - People who are unusually sensitive to air pollution should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion. We'll keep you updated with weather alerts here and on the Lilburn Patch Facebook page. 

Gas:

  • Our commute widget shows the best gas price locally is holding steady at $3.20 at Murphy USA 3950 Lawrenceville Hwy NW and $3.22 in many places around town. Before you head out for the day, check out our Commute Widget for live traffic updates and the latest gas prices around Lilburn.
