@cbs' lonnie quinn h the forecast. good evening, lonnie. >> reporter: good evening, norah.s stuff has its roots in basic meteorology. the hotter it is, the tougher the storms can be. hot air creates lift and that's what you don't want to see and combine that with humidity, you've got some problems. the hotbed in terms of temperatures, midsection of the country. take a look at some of these readings out there. moline hitting 99 degrees, feeling like 110 for your day tomorrow. it's been today and tomorrow. you've got more of this. chicago, 97, feeling like 107. if you look at the radar, we have watched a couple cells, one coming in from massachusetts and now approaching long island. it will eventually make its way to the ocean. but we've got another one coming from minnesota that's making its way to where the chicago area, it makes perfectly good sense. colder air up around minnesota as it encounters the hot air in chicago with the added instability, you've got the risk for severe weather and that risk right now today is a 3 on the scale, 3 out of 5, something to be considere

you know, there's a very simple explanation for what lonnie morris saw, which is this is 1964. it's adjacent to the white sands proving grounds. it's the heart of the apollo program. maybe he stumbled across the air force, a lunar lander in the desert that he just wasn't supposed to see. but, you know, we're 50, 60 years later and there has never emerged evidence of any craft that the us government has created that behave as anything like the capable cities of what he says that he saw in the desert that day great. thank you very much. i think it would be remiss if did not talk about one of the most famous cases in ufo history and. that is the issue surrounding the roswell. can you talk a little about the roswell situation in 47 and then the roswell situation and much later? yeah, so was well is almost instantly it occurs as i said, about two weeks after the age of the flying saucer begins. it's part of this series of events you see across the country in the summer of 47, this rancher comes in to the city of roswell and reports i found of a crash on my ranch the air force sends

let's bring in cbs's lonnie quinn. good evening, lonnie. >> good evening to you, norah. are right. heat in the midwest is the big story right now, but when you take that heat and combine it with humidity, you have the possibility for severe thunderstorms, and they are out there right now. they are on top of the detroit areas with 65 mile-per-hour winds associated with this line. that line, if you look at the computer models, is going to wrap around and come to chicago through the late-night hours tonight, and then, as you get into the overnight hours, we're going to watch it make its way towards cleveland. and then the whole thing is going to redevelop tomorrow evening somewhere between d.c. and philadelphia. you are going to get rocked by those strong storms. the one thing i will say about this, when you get one of these big heavy downpours, is pulling that rain from way up in the atmosphere and bringing down cooler air with it. so chicago today, 99 degrees you were saying, feeling like 110. chicago tomorrow 80 degrees after the rain cools there. that's the very latest.

lonnie, let's start with you and the dnc tonight. and it just wrapped up.ek went? >reporter>well i was at a strong week for them. i think that they were able to make a case for why kamala harris and tim walz represent a change, and i think that's an interesting argument to make, given that you have the incumbent vice president who has presided over what we've seen the last few years, whether it's on the economy or on immigration. but they clearly saw it as their goal to present the harris walz ticket as indicative of of change. and that ultimately, i think, is where the american electorate is. the american electorate is grumpy. they're interested in candidates who will bring about a breath of fresh air. and this week was about positioning kamala harris and tim walz in that light. so overall, i thought it was a successful convention. i think the big question will be, and ryan pointed this out in the package you >anchor>had before. >reporter>can they carry that momentum through the next 70 plus days to election >anchor>day okay. let's also get into former pre

lonnie, good evening p at. >> good evening to you, major.s is a lot storm that has put a lot of rain and he virgin islands. point arrigo will still have some of the outer bands. moved north. it is a pretty healthy storm and forecasted to get stronger as we move along. in terms of where it stands right now, the most recent update we have from the national hurricane center's as it is a category 1 -- just barely -- 75 miles per hour winds. category it gets stronger as this moves along, and possibly even major hurricane by friday as it approaches bermuda, that is next, for this storm come visit a 2, a 3? most likely cat 2 around ber bermuda, some wins, storm surge. loco close that skinny redline comes to bermuda. is it a landfall? is it not? going to be very close but along the eastern seaboard from the outer bakes all the way up to the hamptons, we're talking bign shore, these could be big swells offshore, 30-foot ones perhaps well into the ocean. but that is the very latest. major, it is all yours. >> major: lonnie quinn, thank you very much p

cbs's lonnie quinn is tracking it now. good evening, lonnie. >> good evening to you, norah.is an interesting situation in the pacific ocean. we have got three storms lined up like ducks in a row, one of which is a category 2 hurricane. take a look at this graphic, the most organized system is gilma, the hurricane that's right in the middle. that's not going to affect anybody except the fish so let's focus on the storm leading the pack. i know it looks disorganized. that just received a name. tropical storm hone has 50 mile-per-hour winds. it is due to pass the big island early, early sunday morning. but as it goes -- the west, that is, going to get bigger and possibly passes late sunday just south of oahu, now as a category 1 hurricane. all the while the winds are blowing at category 1 strength, over 96 miles per hour -- excuse me, 74 mile-per-hour winds, but the rain it's causing, the rain is that big take away, 9 inches of rain possible on the big island. also on maui, the windward side of the island will get the worst of it, but what is really the most interesting thing,

cbs's lonnie quinn is tracking ernesto's latest path.ive us the update. >> all right, the latest information from the national hurricane center is that the storm has gotten stronger from where it was yesterday. yesterday it was holding onto that 80 mile-per-hour winds, now it is 85 so ernesto is still it still category 1 but again it will continue to get stronger as we go into your day tomorrow. there are the current stats. it is about 500 miles from bermuda and sure enough it is moving in the direction of bermuda. here is your track. so while it may or may not be a landfall in bermuda, bermuda is in that cone of concern. they are going to be dealing with winds about 90 miles per hour. it is either going to be, major, a strong category 1 or a low-grade cat 2 as it passes the island nation, and i think the toughest time period will be 24-hour span from friday night into saturday night, right around bermuda. we see a little flash of red on the screen, they could be talking 20-30-foot swells. those swells mitigate outdoor the shoreline and

lonnie quinn, thanks so much. national hockey league is in mourning tonight following the death of, miss blue jackets star johnny gaudreau. the 31-year-old new jersey native and is 29-year-old brother, matthew come over riding their bicycles when they were struck and killed by a suspected drunk driver not far m their home town of kearny's point. state police say the driver was attending to pass to other vehicles when he hit the brothers from behind on the eve of their sister's wedding. the driver reportedly admitted to drinking five or six beers before the crash and was charged with two counts of death by auto. in dallas tonight, a candlelight vigil for a police officer who officials say was ambushed in his patrol car, shot and killed at point-blank range. investigators say police exchanged fire with the gunman thursday night. two officers were wounded in that shoot-out, and the suspect was killed. now we are learning the identity of the 46-year-old officer who died, darron burks, a former teacher, who just comple

cbs's lonnie quinn is tracking all of it. lonnie, good evening. >> hi.ant to make that point very clear, major, this storm is not going to be making a landfall anywhere in the united states, but just like you said, it is churning up the oceans. big rip currents and big waves are what we are most concerned about. take a look at this map. i mean, we are talking anywhere from jupiter, florida, all the way up to portions of new england and out to long island. high risk for rip currents. and that's probably for two days if not three days as we look ahead. what's going on? why is this happening for a storm that is so far away from us? it says right there. it is like dropping a stone in the water. so the bigger waves are going to be near the center of the storm. bermuda could have 20-30-foot swells off its shores, but those swells push closer and closer to the shoreline, we get 5-10-foot waves in our area and as that wave breaks onshore, that water rushes back out to sea, that is your rip current that is the problem. currently about 100 mile-per-hour winds, a c

lonnie quinn, thank you. department of justice filed a lawsuit against tiktok and its parent company bytedance today for allegedly violating the law by collecting data on children% under the age of 13. cbs's scott macfarlane now has more on what the company behind the popular social media app is being accused of. ♪ ♪ >> reporter: tiktok with 170 million users in the u.s. is accused of violating the law by allowing kids under 13 to create accounts to interact with adults on the platform. the justice department alleges tiktok collected and retained the personal information of kids without getting the permission of their parents. though tiktok offers a kids mode for those under 13 which restricts their access on the platforms, the suit argues tiktok failed to put in proper safeguards to prevent kids from creating general accounts. in a statement, the company tells cbs news, "we disagree with these allegations, many of which relate to past events and practices that are factually inaccurate or have been addressed.

let's bring in cbs and lonnie quinn. good evening, lonnie. >> good evening to you norah. york city is going to tap into some of that heat you refer to tomorrow. as of right now we're catching him a nice cooling breeze. let's take a look at where the most severe weather is right now as we speak. we are focusing on the midwest. the two places, chicago and detroit. detroit, you are getting pounded right now by a very strong line of severe thunderstorm watch, warning in effect for you right now. winds are 60 miles per hour. is moving quickly, though, about 45 miles per hour to the east, so that will be in it i would. her cargo it is tonight. later tonight you will tap into the same storms during the overnight hours, i am keeping md then the whole thing will redevelop tomorrow evening from washington, d.c., to philadelphia. but for places like chicago that are going to get that big rain today, they were 99 degrees today on the thermometer. you said it, norah, feeling like 110. tomorrow after some rain-cold air, they will be 80 degrees. indianapolis doesn't tap into those showe

lonnie, good evening. >> well, good evening to you, major.s is a storm that has put a lot of rain in the virgin islands and puerto rico. puerto rico is still catching some of the outer bands, but the center of the storm has now moved north of puerto rico. take a look at the satellite imagery. it is a pretty healthy storm and forecasted to get stronger as we move along. in terms of where it stands right now, the most recent update we have from the national hurricane center says it is a category 1 -- just barely -- 75 miles per hour winds. cat 1s begin at 74, so a very low-grade cat 1, but it gets stronger as this moves along and possibly even a major hurricane by friday as it approaches bermuda. that's next for the storm. is it a 2? is it a 3? most likely cat 2 around bermuda. that means 100 mile-per-hour winds, very big waves, storm surge, as well. look at close that skinny redline comes to bermuda. is it a landfall? is it not? it's going to be very close but all along the eastern seaboard from the outer banks all the way up to the hamptons,

brian, on that point that lonnie raises| that point that lonnie raises about the reversals in her position deal, do you think she adequately explained why she changed her mind? elected officials, we want them to be thoughtful and take a critical look on views on important issues as they evolve. politicians can evolve their views over time. the question is what are your core values, what matters to you? we don't necessarily want politicians stuck in the same position their entire careers, even as the world changes around them. while the interviewer from cnn around them. while the interviewerfrom cnn did a pretty aggressivejob in interviewerfrom cnn did a pretty aggressive job in coming at her, i think the vice—president did a wonderful job in articulating and explaining her positions, how they got to where they are today, and i think she did everything they needed to do in that regard. tim everything they needed to do in that regard-— that regard. tim walz was also questioned _ that regard. tim walz was also questioned about _ that regard. tim walz was also questioned about inaccuraciesl qu

so the smithsonian is avowedly and i'm very consciously nonpartisan, but lonnie, secretary bunch, all of us, i think, believe that, of course, as human beings and in this country, with our freedoms, our constitutional freedoms, we are political, are our very act, our bodies can be political, our actions can be political. so it's less about worrying about being political as politicize sized. it's it's less about being partizan as being a kind of inclusive of a huge, a significant range of political thought, which is is, is, i think, both challenging but also made very. very doable by the breadth of our collection because if we go and collect the with every we collect every presidential election and we joke that like our careers would be the only ones going like in 2020, before i had to pull them from the field because they were in the field when covid hit, they joked that it would be the reporters c-span probably and the smithsonian curators who would be at a sanders rally and a trump rally in the same day. so part of it is that the collection and the interpretive interpretation of the
