WE BEGIN THIS EVENING WITH BREAKING NEWS. A MAJOR CRASH INVOLVING AN 18 WHEELER IS
LEADING TO TRAFFIC TIE UPS ON
BOTH SIDES OF I-10 TONIGHT.
THIS JUST OUTSIDE OF LOOP 1604
ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE COUNTY
SKY 12 OVER THE SCENE FOR US.
NO WORD ON ANY INJURIES RIGHT
NOW. THIS IS NEAR I-10 AND
GRAYTOWN. WE'VE SEEN LAW
ENFORCEMENT DIRECT DRIVERS ON
THE EASTBOUND LANES OF I-10
ONTO THE FRONTAGE ROAD. THAT'S
BECAUSE WHEN DRIVERS IN THE
WESTBOUND LANES GET TO THAT
GREAT TOWN AREA, THEY'RE BEING
DIRECTED ACROSS THE MEDIAN INTO
THE EASTBOUND LANES OF I-10 TO
LOOK FOR THAT DETOUR.

ENDED THIS MORNING? AND
CAMILLA, YOU SPOKE WITH SOMEONE

ESSENTIALLY FORCED HIM OUT OF
HIS HOME.

MILES EAST OF SAN ANTONIO.
NOW WITH THE SUSPECT IN

RETURN HOME. ONE MAN WHO LIVED
IN THE APARTMENT RIGHT BELOW
WHERE ROJAS WAS BARRICADED,
SAYS IT WAS FRUSTRATING FOR HIM
AND HIS WIFE TO BE LOCKED OUT
OF THEIR HOME FOR NEARLY 3
DAYS.
>> OFFICER TOLD A PACKED LIKE A
DAY AND OBVIOUSLY THIS ENDED
UP BEING ABOUT 3 OR 4 DAYS WHEN
IT WAS. SO IT IS DIFFICULT TO
DO WITH THAT, NOT BE ABLE TO
COME HOME. JUST THAT FEELING
OF NOT.

SIDES OF EXTREME WEATHER.
A SAN ANTONIO CAN'T SEEM TO GET
ENOUGH RAIN. OTHER AREAS
GETT
NOW TO THE EXTREME WEATHER
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NATION AS
SAN ANTONIO 6 AND THE DRY AND
HOT CONDITIONS. OTHER PARTS OF
THE COUNTRY ARE SEEING
TORRENTIAL FLOODING AS ABC'S
MOLA LENGHI SHOWS US THE DAMAGE
IS LEFT BEHIND.
>> CALIFORNIA'S DEATH VALLEY
NATIONAL PARK REMAINS CLOSED
THIS WEEKEND AFTER RECORD
RAINFALL CAUSED DANGEROUS FLASH
FLOODING ON FRIDAY. ABOUT 1000
PEOPLE WERE STRANDED WHEN MORE
THAN 6 MONTHS WORTH OF RAIN
FELL IN A MATTER OF HOURS.
IT SOUNDED LIKE THAT THE WORLD
WAS GET. THEN YOU'RE JUST THIS
RUSHING WATER EVERYWHERE IT CAN
REPLACE THAT. USUALLY HAVE SOME
OF THE BONE IT IS PRETTY
INCREDIBLE. JEFF MARINO WAS
VISITING FROM VERMONT WITH HIS
FAMILY. WHEN I STEPPED OUT
PROBABLY CAME UP TO JUST BELOW
MY KNEE UP BY THE PARK ITSELF.
THE WATER WAS PROBABLY IN SPOTS
PROBABLY OVER YOUR HEAD.
IT TOOK THEM 6 HOURS TO MAKE IT
OUT OF THE PARK. IS THE FLOODS
TURNED ROADS INTO RIVERS, CARS
BURIED IN THE MUD AND DEBRIS.
SEVERE WEATHER IMPACTING OTHER
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY AS WELL.
IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA ROADS WERE
FLOODED AFTER THE AREA WAS HIT
WITH 3 AND A HALF INCHES OF
RAIN IN JUST 6 HOURS. HEAVY
RAINS FLOODED NUMEROUS HOMES
IN BROOKLYN, ARKANSAS, LEAVING
SOME RESIDENTS STRANDED HAVE
THOUGHT LORD, HELP ME, PLEASE,
BECAUSE I HAD NEVER SAW
ANYTHING LIKE IT. AND IN
EASTERN KENTUCKY JUST ONE WEEK
AFTER THE DEADLY FLASH FLOODING
DESTROYED HOMES, BUSINESSES
AND ROADS. THE AREA IS BRACING
FOR MORE RAIN, VOLUNTEERS AND
RELIEF ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOW
HELPING RESIDENTS CLEAN UP AND
REBUILD THEIR LIVES. THE
BLAZING.
>> IT'S A BIG PLACE AND BECAUSE
OF BAD, GET NOWHERE ELSE TO
TURN. PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL
VISIT THE REGION ON MONDAY
WHERE HE'LL MEET WITH THE
FAMILIES AND GET A FIRSTHAND
LOOK AT THE RECOVERY EFFORTS.
>> MOLA LENGHI ABC NEWS, NEW
YORK.
>> YEAH. TOO MUCH RAIN IN PARTS
OF THE COUNTRY. MEANWHILE, HERE
IN SAN ANTONIO, WE'RE SEEING
SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
STORMS. LOOK AT THOSE TEASER
CLOUDS. THEY'RE OFTEN THE
DISTANCE LOOKING LIKE THEY'RE
GOING TO DROP A FEW SHOWERS OUT
THERE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, RAIN WILL REMAIN ISOLATED FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE EVENING.
HERE'S A LOOK OUTSIDE WITH
RADAR AT THE MOMENT. WE'VE GOT
ONE PARTICULAR STORM THAT'S
PUSHING TOWARD LAVERNIA GOING
TO BE CLIPPING THE NORTH
EASTERN SECTION OF BEXAR COUNTY
INTO WATERLOO, BAY COUNTY.
ELSEWHERE, SOME ISOLATED
DOWNPOURS DOWN NEAR DEVINE.
NOW, HERE'S A LOOK AT THE AAC
FOR THE UPPER IS ACTUALLY UP A
FOOT OVER THE PAST. 24 HOURS,
ONLY ONE ALLERGEN OUT THERE
TODAY. MOLDS ARE LOW TOMORROW.
SOME KIDS STARTING SCHOOL,
DROPPING THEM OFF, WARM AND
HUMID AT THE BUS. STOP AT 78 99
FOR THE HIGH TEMPERATURE
STRAIGHT TEMPERATURE, A STRAY
SHOWER OR STORM POSSIBLE IN THE
AFTERNOON. I'LL BE LOOKING IN
DEPTH AT THAT RADAR. ZOOMING
>> CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG AND
I KNOW YOU WELL, WE DIDN'T HIT
100 AGAIN TODAY. CORRECT?
YEAH, I NEED TO CORRECT.
YEAH. WE'VE HAVE TO 99 DEGREES.
YEAH. AND SOME FOLKS GOT LUCKY
WITH THE RAIN. HERE'S A LOOK
AT THE LIVE RADAR RIGHT NOW.
YOU CAN SEE AROUND SAN ANTONIO
TO GENERALLY QUIET. THERE HAVE
BEEN A COUPLE OF ISOLATED
SHOWERS LIKE ON THAT OUTER EDGE
OF 4.10, THERE ON THE SOUTHWEST
SIDE. BUT OUT TO THE EAST RIGHT
NOW, WE'VE GOT A STORM THAT
IS PUSHING THROUGH PARTS OF
WILSON AND GUADALUPE COUNTY
RIGHT ON THE BORDER THERE.
SO JUST TO THE EAST LAVERNIA
INTO THE EAST OF SUTHERLAND
SPRINGS, THESE ARE YOUR TYPICAL
SEA BREEZE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THAT REALLY DON'T
LAST ALL THAT LONG. THEY ALSO
HVE A DIFFICULT TIME HOLDING
TOGETHER, BUT THEY'RE MOVING TO
THE NORTHEAST AT ABOUT 15 MILES
PER HOUR. SO IF WE PUT A TRACK
ON THIS, IT COULD BE CLOSE TO
MARION BY ABOUT 6.30. BUT
AGAIN, THAT IF IT HOLDS ON ITS
LIKELY GOING TO BE FALLING
APART QUITE A BIT. AND IN FACT,
A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE
THROUGH ABOUT SUNSET, BUT MOST
OF US WILL MISS OUT ANOTHER
FLASH OF LIGHTNING RIGHT I-10
THERE IN GONZALES COUNTY AS
WELL. AND AGAIN, THESE WILL
BE DYING DOWN THIS EVENING AS
WE LOSE THAT DAYTIME HEATING
TOMORROW. JUST A 10% CHANCE
FOR AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR
STORM. 99 WAS A HIGH
TEMPERATURE. WE TECHNICALLY
MISTER 100. SO A LITTLE VICTORY
THERE FOR US AND OUTSIDE RIGHT
NOW, IT'S 95 DEGREES. WINDS ARE
FROM THE SOUTHEAST AT ABOUT 17
MILES PER HOUR. SO IT IS PRETTY
BREEZY AND IT IS GOING TO BE
WINDY TONIGHT WITH GUSTS UP TO
ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR AFTER
THE SUN SETS, TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL INTO THE 80'S. HERE'S A
LOOK AT THE HIGH RES FUTURE
CAST. THE MAIN AREA OF ANY KIND
OF RAIN TOMORROW WILL BE ALONG
THE COAST. ONE OR 2 OF THOSE
MAY TRY TO MAKE A RUN FOR THAT.
I-35 CORRIDOR IN THE AFTERNOON
AND SO WE'VE GOT A 10% CHANCE
FOR A STRAY SHOWER OR STORM
TOMORROW. BUT IT'S MAINLY JUST
GOING TO BE A HOT AND HUMID
DAY BECAUSE WE HAVE A LITTLE
BIT MORE CLOUD COVER A LOT LIKE
TODAY ARE HIGH SHOULD STAY JUST
SHY OF 100 BUT CLOSE TO IT.
99 IN SAN ANTONIO, 95 IN
BULVERDE. 99, NEW BRAUNFELS AND
SEGUIN 100, THOUGH IN HONDO
AND VINE. 97 IN COMFORT AND IN
KERRVILLE. YOUR KSAT. 12 HOUR
FORECAST WAKING UP EARLY
TOMORROW MORNING. IT'S GOING TO
BE 77 AND HUMID OUTSIDE.
TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB TO THE
NEAR 90 DEGREES BY ABOUT NOON
AND IT'S AFTER 02:00PM THAT
WILL HAVE THAT 10% CHANCE FOR A
STRAY SHOWER OR STORM 99 FOR
THE HIGH TEMPERATURE ON THE
SATELLITE AND RADAR. YOU KNOW,
YOU CAN TELL THAT THAT HE HIGH
IS NOT AS PROMINENT THE WAY
YOU COULD TELL. THAT IS THERE'S
PLENTY OF RAINFALL ACTIVITY
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS OF
THAT HEAT HIGH WAS STRONGER
WOULD REALLY BE SEEING A LOT
OF A DRIER WEATHER OUT THERE.
BUT THAT HEAT HIGH AS IT STANDS
IS WEAKER AND TO THE NORTH.
AND SO THAT MEANS A COUPLE OF
THINGS FOR US THIS WEEK.
THE GOOD NEWS IS WE WON'T BE
DEALING WITH RECORD HEAT.
IT'S STILL GOING TO BE HOT.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR 100
OR SLIGHTLY BELOW, BUT NOWHERE
NEAR THOSE RECORDS THAT YOU
SEE THERE. SO AT LEAST THE HEAT
WILL BE BEARABLE IN THE COMING
WEEK. AND WITH THAT HEAT HIGH,
NOT AS STRONG. IT'S GOING TO
OPEN A WINDOW FOR RAINFALL,
ESPECIALLY ON THURSDAY. NOW
ONLY A 30% CHANCE FOR SOME
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS
THURSDAY. THE BAD NEWS IS WE
DON'T HAVE ANY BIG GOALIE
WASHERS IN OUR FORECAST.
THAT WOULD HELP US OUT WITH
THE DROUGHT. SO UNFORTUNATELY,
NO BIG RAIN CHANCES, HOWEVER,
WILL BE KEEPING TABS ON THAT
CHANCE FOR RAIN ON THURSDAY.
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS
POSSIBLE. COMING UP ON THE
NIGHT BEAT, WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT HOW THIS SO FAR HAS BEEN
THE DRIEST YEAR. WE'VE
EXPERIENCED TO DATE AND WE'LL
TAKE A CHECK OF THE TROPICS
AS WELL. THAT SEEMS LIKE A
TRACKS. THANKS TO.
ALL RIGHT. ANDREW PUT ONE BIG
QUESTION OF THE COWBOYS ARE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IN THEIR
PRESEASON CAMPUS. HOW TOUGH IT TONY POLLARD INTO A BIGGER ROLE IN THE OFFENSE? YEAH. EVERY
TIME HE'S GOT TOUCH THE BALL,
HE USUALLY GOES FOR BIG YARDS.
SO OBVIOUSLY THE COWBOYS WANT
TO GET MORE TOUCHES, RIGHT?
THE QUESTION IS HOW THEY DO
THAT. WE COME BACK. GREG
SIMMONS HAS MORE ON TONY
POLLARD'S BIGGER ROLE IN THE
OFFENSE. THIS COMING SEASON.
>> PLUS, THE TEXANS WANT TO RU
...
HOW CUTE IS THIS? THE COWBOYS
GET THE DAY OFF TO SPEND TIME
WITH THEIR FAMILIES WHO HAVE
FLOWN INTO OXNARD, CALIFORNIA.
IT'S TIME TO GO CAMPING WITH
KSAT.
>> AND BEING WITH KSAT, POWERED
BY DAVIS, LOVE FOR THE DALLAS
COWBOYS HAVE BEEN TRAINING CAMP
2 WEEKS AS OF TODAY. AND THERE
ARE ONLY 3 MORE PRACTICES LEFT
BEFORE THE BREAK CAMP AND HEAD
TO DENVER FOR A JOINT PRACTICE
FOR THE BRONCOS AHEAD OF THEIR
PRESEASON OPENER ON SUNDAY
NIGHT.
>> ONE OF THE POSITIONS OF
COWBOYS ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING
TO FILL IS KICK RETURN OR WITH
CEEDEE LAMB SERVING AS THE
COWBOYS. NUMBER ONE WIDE
RECEIVER AND TONY POLLARD,
ASSUMING A LARGER ROLE IN THE
OFFENSE. SPECIAL TEAMS
COORDINATOR JOHN FOSSIL NEEDS
TO FIND SERVICEABLE
REPLACEMENT. THAT'S PART OF THE
REASON WHY THE COWBOYS DECIDE
TO SIGN FORMER TCU HORNED FROG
KAVONTAE TURPIN WHO BRING SOME
SERIOUS SPEED AFTER EARNING
MVP HONORS IN THE USFL OVER
THE SUMMER.
>> HE'S BEEN ON MY RADAR SINCE
2018. CLEARLY, YOU KNOW, TCU
OF WATCHED EVERY SINGLE ONE
OF HIS. RETURNS.
KEEP AN EYE ON HIM OVER THE
COURSE OF HIS FAMILY FOOTBALL
LEAGUE IN SPRING LEAGUE IN USFL
SEEING ALL THAT WORK. SO.
WE FOUND OUT THAT HE WAS ON
OUR RADAR. I WAS. VERY HOPEFUL
AND OBVIOUSLY WE SIGN THEM
SUPER EXCITED.
>> NOW ONE OF THE BIGGEST
CHANGES IN TRAINING CAMP THIS
YEAR HAS BEEN THE MANDATE THAT
BOTH EZEKIEL ELLIOTT AND TONY
POLLARD HAVE TO BE ON THE FIELD
AT THE SAME TIME. BUT THERE'S
STILL SOME SCHEMATIC WORK LEFT
TO FIGURE OUT. SHOULD THEY BE
TOGETHER IN THE BACKFIELD OR
SHOULD POLLARD LINEUP AND WIDE
RECEIVER WITH MORE ON COLLEGE
IN CREASE WORKLOAD THIS SEASON.
HERE'S OUR GREG SIMMONS.
>> YOU KNOW, JUST JUST BEEN
MORE KNOW IN THE PLAYBOOK.
YOU KNOW, BE MORE INVOLVED IN
THE PLAY CALLING, YOU KNOW,
HAVING DIFFERENT PERSONNEL TO
KNOW BOTH GUYS ON THE FIELD.
SO JUST SEEING THAT SO FAR.
>> SO FAR, SO GOOD FOR COWBOYS.
RUNNING BACK. TONY POLLARD HAS
IN THE PAST SERVED AS A BACKUP
FOR STAR EZEKIEL ELLIOTT.
NOW HE'S GETTING HIS OWN TIME
TO SHINE SHARING. THE BACKFIELD
WAS EATING AND AT TIMES BEING
USED MORE AS A RECEIVER, I WANT
TO SAY TOO MUCH, YOU KNOW, JUST
JUST HAVE ME OUT THAT, YOU
KNOW, BOTH WAS OUT THE SAME
TIME, YOU KNOW, HAVING DEFENSE
GOING TO THEY NEED TO COVER AND
WHO THE WINNEBAGO WHO WITHOUT
RECEIVING SO MUCH. SO POLITICS
FOUND HIMSELF HITTING THE
PLAYBOOK MORE OFTEN NOW MAKING
AN ADJUSTMENT TO RECEIVER OUT
OF THE BACKFIELD AND IN THE
SWAT. BACK TO NEWS NOW IS IS
PRETTY MUCH SECOND MATE.
YOU KNOW, IS IT GOING OVER FIND
THE 10 THING BOSSI? WE KNOW
IT'S PRETTY MUCH A MOVING
ONLINE RIGHT NOW. UP UNTIL NOW,
POWER WAS USED MORE TO RELIEVE
OR AS A 3RD DOWN BACK. DID THAT
FRUSTRATE HIM SINCE HE WAS
DRAFTED BY THE COWBOYS IN 2019
HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THAT.
MY WHOLE CAREER. I I WANT TO
HEAR ABOUT WAS FRUSTRATED AND
THEY GET TO ME. SO I JUST KEEP
DOING WHAT I DO AS A RESULT.
COLORS COMING OFF HIS BEST
SEASON WITH 719 YARDS, 2
TOUCHDOWNS, BUT 8 IN HIS
CAREER, ELLIOTT WELCOMES THE
HELP. DO YOU TELL THE PLAYER?
>> THIS IS YOU KNOW, IS A LOU
CITY, HIS EXPLOSIVENESS.
SO, YOU KNOW, I I'M GOING TO
HAVE PARENT I'M A LITTLE BIT
HE GOES IN A YOU KNOW, YOU'RE
GOING TO GO BREAK. SO BAKE SOME
FROM LONG LAST.
>> AND IF POLLARD IS BEING USED
AS A WIDE RECEIVER OUT OF THE
BACKFIELD THAT WOULD FREE UP
ZEKE TO PICK UP THE BLITZ ON
CERTAIN PLAYS AND PROTECT DAK
PRESCOTT EVEN MORE WITH THE
COWBOYS IN CALIFORNIA. GREG
SIMMONS, KSAT, 12 SPORTS.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANKS A LOT,
GREG. DON'T FORGET TONIGHT,
WE'RE GOING ONE-ON-ONE WITH
COWBOYS QUARTERBACK DAK
PRESCOTT ON INSTANT REPLAY AT
11:00PM AFTER THE NIGHTBEAT
HOUSTON, TEXAS HAD ONE MORE DAY
OF PADDED PRACTICES TODAY
BEFORE GETTING A DAY OFF
TOMORROW ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
BALL. HOUSTON WAS BAD AT THE
GROUND GAME IN 2021. THEY
COULDN'T RUN IT ON ANYONE AND
THEY COULDN'T STOP THE RUN.
IN FACT, THE TEXANS WERE LAST
IN THE NFL WITH ONLY 1400
RUSHING YARDS LAST YEAR IN ONLY
8 TOUCHDOWNS. DOES THE
OFFENSIVE LINE TAKE THAT LACK
OF SUCCESS PERSONALLY?
>> OF COURSE WE DO IT. I'D BE
LYING IF I SAID I DIDN'T.
AS AN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN, YOU
WANT TO, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO
SHOW SO I PHYSICALLY CAN BE
GET DOWN TO RUN THE BALL
BECAUSE NO, THAT'S THE END OF
THE DAY. YOU GET.
OPEN UP THE DEFENSE WITH THE
RUN GAME. THAT OPENS UP A WHOLE
LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS WE CAN
DO OFFENSIVELY. SO YEAH, THAT'S
ONE THING WE KNOW. WE TAKE
PRIDE IN TRYING TO RUN THE
BALL.
>> REX BURKHEAD WAS THE TEAM'S
LEADING RUSHER LAST YEAR WITH
430 RUSHING YARDS AND 3
TOUCHDOWNS.
IN THE MAJORS. THE ASTROS GET
ANOTHER CRACK AT TAKING OVER
THE TOP SPOT IN THE AMERICAN
LEAGUE. GOING FOR A SERIES WIN
OVER THE GUARDIAN'S NO DICE
TODAY FOR HOUSTON EITHER.
BOTTOM 5 LOOP MAINLY PUTS A
CHARGE INTO DEEP LEFT AND THAT
IS GONE. HIS FIRST HOME RUN
SINCE 2019 PUTS CLEVELAND UP
ONE, NOTHING AND HOUSTON CAN'T
GET THE BATS GOING AT ALL
TODAY. ASTROS BALL TO THE FIGHT
GERBER'S ONE TO NOTHING AFTER
WEEK OF PRACTICE TOMORROW
OFFICIALLY MARKS THE BEGINNING
OF A HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL
SEASON IN THE BRANDEIS. BRONCOS
WILL OPEN DEFENSE OF THEIR YOU.
I'LL CLASS 6 A STATE TITLE BY
TAKING ON THE O'CONNOR PANTHERS
AT NORTHSIDE SPORTS GYM AT
05:30PM. HOW DOES THE TEAM FEEL
KNOWING THAT THEY ARE THE TEAM
THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO BEAT
THIS YEAR?
>> IT'S HONESTLY MADE US.
>> THAT MUCH MORE EXCITED FOR
THE SEASON. LIKE KNOWING YOU
HAVE THAT TARGET ON YOUR BACK
AD KNOWING THAT YOU'RE THE
ONES THAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE
OR JUST GOING OUT THERE AND
PLAY YOUR HARDEST KNOWING THAT
EVERYONE HAS THIS LIKE SET
EXPECTATION OF YOU HAS REALLY
EXCITING. IT JUST MAKES YOU
WANT TO PERFORM BETTER IN THE
GYM.
>> CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM ON
THE COURT. BUT BEFORE WE GO,
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. FORMER
UTSA ROADRUNNERS TACKLE SPENCER
BURFORD. I KNOW SOME DANCE
MOVES SHOW HIS FOOTWORK AT THE
FORTY-NINERS TRAINING CAMP.
THE FANS LOVE IT. AND THE
COACHING STAFF LOVES IT TOO.
BECAUSE PERFECT GETTING
FIRST-TEAM REPS WITH THE
OFFENSIVE LINE. I KNOW ANOTHER
REASON WHY HE'S DANCING.
THIS IS THE LAST SUNDAY WE HAVE
BEFORE THE NFL SEASON BEGINS.
IT ALL BEGINS NEXT SUNDAY WITH
THE PRESEASON. THANK GOODNESS.
IT'S BEEN A LONG WAY WHEN THE
MLB IN THE GUARDIAN'S COME FOR
YOU. I HAD NOTHING TO DO I'M
JUST SAYING THEY SHOULDN'T.
THEY SHOULD CHANGE TO THE
>> WE'LL CONTINUE TO SEE
ISOLATED RAIN THROUGH ABOUT SUNSET TOMORROW. 10 1% CHANCE
FOR COASTAL SHOWER OR STORM
HIGH TEMPERATURE. 99 MOST OF
THE WEEK NEXT WEEK WILL BE AT
OR JUST BELOW 100. BEST CHANCE
FOR RAIN THURSDAY, 30% ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS. >> I LIKE THE TREND. LET'S KEEP
IT GOING. THAT'S ALL OF OUR
TIME. THANKS FOR WATCHING.
WE'LL SEE YOU BACK HERE TONIGHT
FOR THE NIGHT BEAT. SEE YOU
THEN. HAVE A GREAT EVENING.
