Youre watching 12 weekend if youre told you have cancer, explore your Treatment Options cancer. Every stage. Every day. At Cancer Treatment centers of america. Welcome back. Your full forecast up next here on 12 weekend today. Now joining us right here in acting up or your water heater is leaking, it may be time to hire a contractor. Theres definitely red flags you should be looking out for. Mike is here to tell us what we should be looking out for. Well, if you spend a little bit of time before you hire a contractor you save a lot of money. Really, its so easy to get on these days to go on your phone or laptop and check the Better Business pure owe web the register contractors web site. Any contractor thats advertising ought to have a number at the bottom of the add. If its an add and no license number, first red flag. What else . The other thing is once you find a contractor and they come to your home no matter what theyre doing at your house, get involved in the repair. Dont go hide in the house and not pay attention. Of a bid you get, get it in lighting and if theres a part involved, i brought a couple of parts, ask to see it and have it explained to you. So you know, a lot of times technicians have parts bouncing around on their truck forever and the bus looks like this. Lovely. So you really need to ask the question, get a magnifying glass. Brand new box. Nice and new. Okay. This verses this. Once they change the part, you know, heres an old motor, keep it, put it back in the box that it came in and keep it in the house for a couple of weeks. You never know if something, it stops working again was that really the problem . Then youll have it. The other thing is you know it got changed. What are some of the must ask questions . You been in business . Are they locally owned . And then do they have a physical address and one is who owns the company and are they in the business and able to be contacted. Right. Good to get multiple opinions before you decide something . Sometimes you can get multiple opinions but when it waited a day for service already, thats when youre most vulnerable. Anything else we should know . I think thats a good start. The only other thing i would add is if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Thats what well remember. Thanks for being here. I found a little bit of rain in the area last night. Did you . Apparently from what crystal is telling us, those chances are the weekend. Well have your full forecast lets start off with the week will be above 105 degrees. How about that for a little freezer. Now, trisha, youre mentioning how crisp and cool it is outside at least in comparison to what it has been. Dont let these numbers go to waste here. Were waking up in temperatures in the low 80s across the valley. Flirting with 79 and we got some 70s morning. Also looking like the temperature right now is starting with a 7. Theres a catch though. Unfortunately, the Arizona Department of air quality is saying hey, you know, weve got to kind of keep in mind here that our air quality is not ideal. For today well run on Ozone Health Watch and tomorrow we get upgraded to a high pollution advisory. Keep that in mind its not so great. Of course, we have storms in unfortunately, the blowing dust risk is going to interact. Blowing things up here in the high country. 7 for Northern Arizona and eight for the mountains here and again these storms will be scattered and hit and miss and then in the days ahead we drop it to a two for sunday and monday. A one on tuesday and we wrap up our storm watch so to speak by midweek. 2016. It will officially end on september 30th. If youre keeping score. What that means in the meantime, when tracking storms like today, you cant take the thermometer reading at face value. Sometimes youre going to need to add 34 degrees to the temperature to get the feels like value. It might feel worse and it might be tempting to find a the falls at 5. You have to have your ears perked for storms this afternoon. Soon as you hear thunder and lightning get inside. Strong spf is still the in. Looks like 8 6. A Beautiful Day in flag staff. 74. Keep in mind storms keep in mind also. Temperatures will be dropping in after sunset. The sunset is 7 08. Keep in mind a 40 chance of storms. So we go with a mixture of sun and clouds and another chance sunday and monday and again as promised in the 7 day forecast not one day above 105. The games are ending for home.

Still ahead on 12 weekend today, crystals got her eye on all the weekend traffic closures for you. Stay for the last two weeks rio has been a destination for so many athletes. He took a journey. Doing one thing he loved. This is beautiful. The athletes village features lands of many hands. He features his own browedly and humbly. Just to know we started right here but now youre way out. Part of it started in sim economic crisis but so many in poverty. You have to go and line up and for local dread and you cant have that. At age 13 when he decided he wanted to run, he also couldnt have shoes. Shoes were so expensive. Its choosing between putting food on the table or paying school fees and he kept running. On rough pavement through blisters and cuts and he got good. The competition with kids from private schools we know everything like that, youre thinking im going to beat you because i dont have shoes. Then im going to hold you back. That drive extended beyond his feet. He wanted to go to college in america. He took the sats five times until he cleared ncaa nonprofit to provide similar opportunities for runners back home.

Its tough to be around everybody from everywhere in the world really and just do what you do best. For the first time years, boxers at the olympics are not wearing head gear. They got rid of padded head gear back in 2013. The organization said the head gear wasnt doing anything to prevent head injuries. They believe they made the head a bigger target and gave fighters a false sense of security. Michael said he never liked to but its going to just bounce off the padding and into your brain. Its the same power. Without the head gear, unfortunately, the olympics are seeing more cuts and blood. Also worth noting, the International Boxing association did not eliminate head gear from womens boxing. The olympics will be over aft People Living in the neighborhoods hosting the games . We spoke with some of the locals about what theyll remember the most after its all over. This is a match up you have seen before. On this side a multimillion dollar stadium, a bustling economic power house drawing millions of eyes and millions of dollars. And on this side a completely different picture. For many living behind these as olympic gold. Im not really excited for the games. The only way i can watch it is on tv and not any actual stadium. We met the 18yearold as we were out exploring the olympic venues. He walked up to us cheerful and curious. He told us he lives in this neighborhood steps away and has no plans of experiencing the games firsthand. The tickets for each one of the ev according to a 2012 study, 26 live below the poverty line. An estimated 16. 2 live on less each month. The equivalent to about 22u. S. Dollars. Brazilian reporter, for her, story as local development. I think more important than having it here are is how this thing is changing our town and we hope it changes for the best. The infrastructure changes were immediate she says. Better roads and better transportation and the buildings. Across from olympic stadium, we noticed a new highrise tower under renovation. But when the world heads home, will there be any lasting improvements . Will these roads be closer to becoming one . Safety here in town and school for kids education. I hope we have legacies for the cd lane and we can structure and transport the people. I hope the olympics makes their lives better, our lives better. Reporting in rio. Im blain alexander. All right. Studio. Yes. 2 00 a. M. , i think it was. Looks like over mill avenue but you said maybe buck eye. When you take a look at radar, youll see the storm fizzling out as we speak. You know, you can actually see lightning about a hundred miles away. Wow. Its actually, i have a really cool explainer. It has a Little Something to do with something we call heat lightning. In the meantime, were talking about the radar. It may look whim pi right now but its really quiet statewide. Were seeing clouds and later on today thats when we amp up the meter. A four for the valley and south eastern arizona. Man, pretty fisty storms could be erupting. White mountains, were going go to an eight. Drenched with a downpour. Gusty winds possible. Blowing gusts is certainly an anticipation here in the valley. We take you hour by hour now with the rain and Storm Chances. I say at least give it to the 1 00 hour in the high country. Thats when well get action packed here. Between a 1517 chance the rest of the p. M. Hours. For the valley, those chances get bumped up to a 40 chance from 7 00 and beyond.

The 10 eastbound was closed as they did tunnel maintenance. As you can see, both sides of the freeway wide open. All the lanes are back. Adot wrapped up work there early. Now as we switch things over to the graphics here, we got we turn the tables so to speak. Now the 10 westbound the closed later on tonight. That will extend. It cuts off. In the meantime, what you want to do instead if youre on the 10, continue on to the 17 north bound. Take that right through the downtown area and fr that westbound. Now we have another closure thats in place until monday morning. Right now, weve got the road blocks blocking off all north bound lanes of the 101. Its going to last until 5 00 tomorrow morning. Detail now is to puma road. You dont want to get caught up in the delays there. I17 will do to trick. Up next, were heading out live to rio and talking lochte gate.
