sunday. but still only 85 degrees. so maybe just the beach weekend we've seen so far this summer. it's been really quite nice. a lot of rain towards the beaches. 89 on your friday. 92 on saturday. then we'll start to see that humidity on the increase. up to 93 degrees on sunday. i think on sunday, we'll start to use that term heat index again. heat index on sunday. upwards of 100 degrees. monday, 91 degrees with the heat index around 96 97. chance of showers or storms, and a little bit on the breezy side. i think tuesday is the best chance of showers and storms with a high of 91. and then unfortunately, right now, it looks like wednesday and thursday we get back into the mid- to upper 80s -- upper 90s, rather that is something that we will of course be watching. but wednesday and thursday, the heat index could once again approach 105 degrees. let's hope not. for right now, let's just enjoy tomorrow. >> yeah. it's been a nice break. >> it has. we want to go back to our top story at the live desk with chris lawrence and an update from louisiana on that theater
