the morning for many of us. we were asleep, but nonetheless it is having a big impact. boxing legend muhammad ali has died. good morning on this saturday. i'm david culver. >> and good morning to you. i'm kristin wright. i love watching those old clips. >> impressive to see. a lot more to come. >> absolutely. a good day to stay inside and do just that. thunderstorms coming our way.tá this saturday. storm team 4 meteorologist lauren ricketts, how to get ready. >> an unsettled weekend unfortunately. heading into monday, tuesday wednesday of next week looking good. but definitely not today. definitely not tomorrow, because we're going to have severe weather on our hands. right now, just have fog on our hands. this visibility is cut down quite a bit. sticky, muggy out there. temperatures right now at 71 degrees with a dew point of 69. sun just coming up right now. here's a look at visibility. going to be a slow morning for this fog and clouds to lift

>> reporter: muhammad ali had a flare for words that was only surpassed by his amazing performances in the boxing ring. born cassius clay in 1942 in louisville, kentucky, kept an outstanding amateur career winning a gold medal in the 1960 olympics. turning pro, his cocky and controversial style turned him into a national figure, but his dramatic defeat of heavyweight champ sonny liston in 1964 was a surprise. >> one of the great upsets in the heavyweight history. >> reporter: he shocked the work by joining the nation of islam and changes his name to muhammad ali. the move was controversial and released a newfound religion avoiding the vietnam war. >> my intention is to box to win a clean fight but in war the intention is to kill, kill, kim, kill and continue killing innocent people. >> reporter: stripped of his title and did not fight against until after the supme

overturned his case. ali's comeback included a series of worldwide events with championíz joe frazier and geo foreman making ali the first to win the heavyweight crown three times. but ali's true greatness may have come outside the ring showing courage and character with his long bout of parkinson's disease lighting the torch in the 1960 olympics, elevating ali from the status of one of the greatest athletes of all-time. bruce hall, nbc news. and muhammad ali battled parkinson's disease for more than three decades. that's a long time. it's a chronic progressive condition with symptoms worsening over tile. signs may include tremors, rigid muscles, slow movements and changing in writing and speech, as we saw with ali. the disease on its own is not fatal, but complications from advanced parkinson's can eventually lead to death.
