by the time we get to sunday. jet stream to the north of us, all of that hot, humid air in place, ridge of high pressure builds in, that sets us up for a weekend full of sunshine. so, just few clouds here and there. but at least the skies will be sunny. but will be definitely hot. so do take care. it will be a great weekend to go to the beaches, though. lots of sunshine, at all of our beaches, temperatures into the 80s, the water temperature will be about 74 degrees, it will be pretty comfortable. and also pretty pleasant as far as our beaches go. a lot happening in the tropics that we're keeping our eyes on. we have number of disturbances to talk about. this is gaston, which is actually moving it way to the northwest. very slowly. no watches or warnings in effect for any of these systems. then this low pressure system between the bahamas and cuba. that's expected to leave fair amount of rainfall over parts every cuba do. see some lots of flashflooding and mudslides as a result of it, as well. the convection seems to be intensifying it. we have another system here

just to the close, to the southern edge of florida, near into the gulf. that looks like it will move it way little bit more to the northwest and could bring some showers and plenty of rainfall, as far as texas and louisianna are concerned. louisianna doesn't need any more rain. unfortunately, they will feel the effect of it. so we are talking a bit of a light storm earlier, not much of that happening right now. here is a quick look at your fox5 accuweather forecast, cooling down by the end of the week, still in the 90s for most of it. laura and sean? >> it has been tough week for disgraced swimmer ryan lochte. four major sponsors dropped him after he admitted to making up a story about being robbed at gunpoint at the rio olympics. >> today company stepped forward to give lochte what they are calling a second chance. the swimmer has signed a deal now with pine brothers, soft throat drops. >> what? >> okay. >> and he will appear in a commercial, and print ads, that will include the tag line forgiving
