47 is the current humidity level. and we have a north to northwest wind flow which has helped to bring in the drier air across the area. 88 right now in poughkepsie. 89 in the city. 90s at newark liberty airport. 86 towards belmar. these numbers are running slightly cooler than they were at this time last night. our humidity levels have come down. we have a light wind out there. it is feeling pretty comfo compared to the weekend. our satellite and radar show things are quiet. we've had plenty of sunshine and clouds filtering in from time to time. we'll stay dry for a few hours, but there is a disturbance that will pass through the area tonight and could squeeze out an isolated shower or thunderstorm. i'm thinking it will be a chance of a shower. we turn unstable tomorrow. we have a warm front that will lift to the north and that will keep things unsettled for us. we'll see a rise in the humidity

showers and thunderstorms tomorrow. a look at futurecast shows we'll say dry tonight. linger into the first part of tomorrow on the east end of long island. we'll see a mix of sun and clouds and in the afternoon, we'll see the showers and storms firing up. i think the greatest instability or the greatest points of where we'll see the strongest storms will be north and west of new york city. those across new jersey in the hudson valley, you have the greatest potential for a thunderstorm to pop up and we could see significant downpours. small hail will be possible and strong gusty winds. that will exit the area tomorrow night after sunset. on wednesday, we'll wake up with a mix of sun and clouds. it will turn mostly sunny on wednesday. no rain chances in the forecast. it will feel comfortably drier. we'll take the good weather right into the second half of the week. it's going to give us a bit of a break from the heat and humidity across the area. tonight, it will be relatively

shower or thunderstorm overnight. lows in the 60s in the north and west and the 70s in the city. tomorrow, mostly cloudy. we'll see the sun from time to time, but expect scattered showers and storms in the afternoon, especially north and west of the city. it will be warm tomorrow. highs will be in the mid to low 90s. it will feel humid. on wednesday, you'll feel a change. drier air will work in. it will be quite warm but comfortable. we'll have plenty of sunshine and dry weather for tomorrow -- fo friday and into saturday. as as we go into sunday and monday, we'll have a chance of afternoon showers and storms. let's get through tomorrow and then it looks good wednesday, thursday, and friday. steve: upper 80s is a cool-down. you know it's summer. president obama declaring parts of louisiana major disaster areas, this after a system jumped two feet of rain in parts of the state. the national guard is helping authorities rescue people.

my son has meningitis b. but how did we end up here? his mom thought he had the flu and that he was covered by the meningococcal meningitis vaccine he had received.

for meningitis b in the u.s. now there are. while uncommon, meningitis b can lead to death within 24 hours. trumenba is a vaccine for 10 through 25 year olds to help prevent group b meningococcal disease. trumenba should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects were injection-site pain, fatigue... headache, muscle pain, and chills. ask your doctor or pharmacist about all the risks and benefits of trumenba and tell them if you've received any other meningitis b vaccines. meningitis b can be spread by typical sharing like... a drink... a spoon... a kiss. it all started here... it might have been prevented with trumenba.

steve: the great wall is stirring up controversy. alison: matt damon is saving humanity, but it's the latest case of hollywood whitewashing movie roles. simone is here with the story. >> reporter: earlier we talked about the diversity problem, the absence of the minority actors put this in the spotlight. on the heels of the great wall, which comes out next year, asian

tv and film. >> this is like a beef vegetable spicy stew, super delicious. >> reporter: everything is so delicious. i don't know why i don't eat korean food more often. >> ellen lee is someone i met over barbecue and discussed what it's like to be. >> how about we not be the nerdy girl like in the club. >> reporter: her frustration is hardly new. depictions of the asian experience too often reinforce racist stereoypes or worse, cast white actors in roles designed for people of color, like the insulting yellow faced character mr. yinioshi. today there are signs of improvement. the outspoken lead actress constance wu is bringing

>> constance wu is a pioneer for us. a lot of asian american actors are scared to say something. >> wu took issue with the 2017 film the great wall starring matt damon in which he plays an ancient hero saving the chinese from dragons. wu wrote we have to stop perpetuating the racist myth that only a white man can save the world. >> why is a white man in this movie about the great wall in china? it's this no. >> hollywood decision makers defend it with dollars. big names sell tickets while unknown minorities could be a risk. wu asked if they're forgiven for having a failure once in a while, why can't a person of color sometimes have one? >> why don't you give us a chance and try it out and why don't you tell the story without disrespecting our culture. >> reporter: what are the roles you would like to see?

or where i'm a fetish. i want to be a character that has substance, that is a real human, that has nothing to do with my race. if it does, can we embrace it? >> reporter: i think it's got to be tough for actresses like ellie and others because you don't want to take that role as the fetish girl prostitute. you've got to have money coming in. it's a tough situation. steve: giving people roles that had the role. it's hard to get whole situation. alison: how about casting an asian american actor or actres in the role and making it not a thing. >> reporter: they happen to be. why can't we have parts like pt? alison: doesn't make sense. >> reporter: the one point that actresses like ellie and constance want to leave people with is bringing this to the forefront is not about blaming matt damon or the studio. it's about bringing awareness to the issue. steve: thank you. the presidential race may hinge

through it all, trump joking that if he doesn't win, he'll know who to blame. >> can you imagine how badly i'll feel if i spent all of that money, all of this energy, all of this time and lost? i will never, ever forgive the people of connecticut. >> reporter: all three states, new york, connecticut and new jersey, have not voted republican in a general election since the '80s. right now two web sites, new york upshots track these and form predictions about the results. both give hillary clinton an 88 percent chance of winning the presidency. still a couple of months left, but tough, tough numbers for donald trump. steve: indeed. alison: 538 has called big ones. >> hundreds waited in the heat to apply for a job with the carpenters union. the district council began

with the babies. we're starting to realize that advanced paternal age can cause problems. we've known you have decreased motility or motion of your sperm and decrease in storm number. as sperm age, they mutate. they have the same mutations women have as they get older. it's a problem because you increase the chance of some of these things, like dwarfism, autism and the increase is small. we don't know after 50 we've shown there's a doubling of things like autism, dwarfism and autism. but the question is the 35-year-old bachelor, should he be freezing his sperm? the initial cost of consultation is seven to $900. it's a per annum fee of 450 to store it. steve: you're looking at 5, 10

it's something to think about. we don't have any firm recommendations. steve: ron wood, mick jagger having kids at 69, 70. alison: no problem. yeah. steve: plenty of time. we don't have to worry. that's a good thing to keep in mind. alison: despite warnings, a new study finds babies are still being put at risk of sudden infant death syndrome. what are parents doing? we've heard about how you should put your baby what's the problem? >> sudden infant death syndrome is crib death. a child dies without any known cause even after an autopsy. what we've seen over 60 years is as we've gotten good at neonatal infant health, s.i.d.s. is the no. 1 killer of kids between the age of one month and one-year-old. the american academy of pediatrics 1992 came up with the safe to sleep protocol.

or blankets, free of stuffed animals, on a firm surface and you shouldn't have crib bumpers. studies have shown parents are very good. that's what the study shows. they videotape the babies, instead of just parents self-reporting what they did. at one month, 90 percent of compliant with the guidelines. at six months, only a third were complying. what happens is maybe the pediatrician the parents get fatigued. the mom is exhausted. we need to be vigilant -- steve: if nothing goes wrong, everything is fine. >> it's important to emphasize to parents this is the no. 1 cause of death for infants. this is the most important thing to do for your baby. steve: devastating for that to happen. doctor, we appreciate it. thank you very much. let's talk about the heat.
