She was smart enough to run to the nextdoor neighbors house screaming for help. What did she tell the neighbor . Something wrong with daddy. Patty, hear daddy got hurt. The man was shot in the head. And that is pretty much all we know at this point with no information coming from police at this point.

And a deepening the tragedy of the little girl who witnessed the murder of her father, they were already dealing with the impact of gun violence.

Dress rehearsal today along the lakefront for the 55thannual chicago air and water show. Missing this year will be the military flyovers. No air force thunderbirds or the navys blue angels or the armys Golden Knights parachute team. Thats because of federal budget cuts. However, the show will have more civilian acts, some with roaring jets. It will be different only in that we do not have the jet teams but we have to create air force jets. This is one of the favorites jets for people who attend because it can hover. Last year, some twomillion people attended the free show.

I had to show you that practice today through time lapse. You see the entire air and water show inside 20 seconds, or at least the practice for it. Better to see it at normal speed and you can do that tomorrow. Court tuesday. Rubberstamp this for tomorrow and the next day. The warmest temperatures in a month with 83 tomorrow and 85 the next day. We have on average about six additional 90 degree days. Do not write off the warm weather yet, although we will explain something in a moment about shorter days and that will have an impact. Seven degrees warmer than yesterday with 82 today. 75 at the lakefront. We have lost 87 minutes of daylight. The days are starting to slowly compress with sunset coming sooner. The son is lower in the sky. Instead of overhead at 90 degrees it is 60 degrees now. June 21st is the longest day and it was at 70 degrees on the horizon. At little lord gives us ankle sunlight and that gets us less energy. When you have the jets dream like this with the jet stream stepped off it gets warmer. We get a light wind regime and we are in the midst of a highpressure area and the winds do not move strongly. The arab motion is vertical not horizontal. In do not get wind, you get air sinking. The strong winds around this will circulate in here with warmth and humidity this coming week. Temperatures into the 90s. Tomorrow 80s are forecast year and we will look at the west where there are record breaking high temperatures around 100 in montana. Those 90s in the hot air pull push into the dakotas. They, ever closer. Monday we could be flirting with 90 degrees by tuesday. Here is the way we say goodbye to the cool air that dominated august. See the colors. The hot dome content to sit out there because the jet stream has been doing this instead of coming from the west. Now we blow that warm air from the west and cut off the cooler air coming from the north. Let me show you. At the next four days will average 4. 2 degrees warmer than average. 6. 2 degree the system according to the models the humidity will come and with that do weather system. Look at the blazing heat that broke a record in sky harbor. At note the 80s on the arctic coast have disappeared.

And who are those chicago cubs . Thats what the other team is asking today. Nothing seems to bring out the best in the cubs like the sight of cardinals red. The cubs have a losing record against every team in the nl central, except the st louis cardinals. They have split 14 games with their archrivals, and today they scored more runs against st louis than they had scored in their last 6 games at Wrigley Field combined. It was the second cubs start for newcomer jake arrieta, and this one was better than his first. Already 40 cubs, but two men on in the sixth when he gets Matt Holliday looking to end the threat. That was one of his seven strikeouts in seven innings. He only gave up two hits. And he helped out with his bat in the bottom of the inning. The perfectlyexecuted safety squeeze scored Darwin Barney to make it 60. The cubs went on to shut out the cardinals for the second time in a week 70. It was a big day for a former cub. Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg was introduced as interim manager of the phillies. Sandberg was in his first year as the phils thirdbase coach, and he got the call to move to the dugout when the phillies fired the winningest manager in their history, charlie manuel. Ryno got his start coaching in the Cubs Organization but managed the phillies aaa team the last two years. A goal of mine seven years ago when i got into managing in the Minor Leagues in the cubs was to get back to the major league level. Charlie allowed that and i really enjoyed my time with him. I wish it could have been logger. It had been over a montlonger. It had been over a month since the sox last won a game away from home before the allstar break going into their game at minnesota. They trailed 10 but not for long. 2nd inning. Dayan viciedo erases the twins 10 lead with a smash to center. Two runs score and the sox have the lead. An inning later, its 31. Then adam dunn golfs one out off kevin correia. His 28th of the year to make it 41. Jose quintana worked out of a bases loaded jam and the sox lead 42 in the 8th. Marc trestmans home debut as bears head coach was in many ways a typical preseason game. Encouraging moments like this matt forte touchdown to put the bears up 140. And a jarring hit by rookie middle linebacker jon bostic who may never give up the job. And the play by young offensive and defensive lineman also caught trestmans eye in the 3328 win over the chargers. We certainly have a long way to go and we have things to work on but i talked about the effort in the First Quarter and the physicality of our team on all lines defensive and offensive. Embattled new York Yankee Alex Rodriguez is denying a report that someone in his inner circle leaked the names of two players currently serving ped suspensions milwaukees ryan braun and his yankee teammate francisco cervelli. Rodriguez claims this is another attempt to tarnish his image. And a reminder. The 31st running of the arlington million is tomorrow at arlington park.

Hi everybody im julian crews. Its great to have you along were cruising the heartland again and our journey begins on the water because here in illinois and across the midwest the water flows to the same place, americas greatest river. Six river miles north of the arch, were off the grid. Removed from the stress of modern life as you fall under the sway of the mississippi. Youre starting to quiet down. Youre away from the hustle and bustle of the world. And the movement of the river and all that really does settle you down. Professional river guide, michael clark, leads the camping expedition. With the setting sun after a hard day of paddling we reach our First Destination an uninhabited sand bar known as mosenthein island. Hiking into the forest we search for dry ground. Heavy rains and the swelling river make it a challenge. But no worries if youre new to this because clark and the big muddy Adventures Team knows where to go. Theres really not a lot of
