look forward to with the fall. just having cool weather, not the humidity. that's one positive. chocolate. and -- hot chocolate. there are studies that actually show when you feel anxious or down, sometimes your heart rate goes up. start breathing faster because you're feeling anxious. there are studies that show instead of telling yourself to calm down, it's better to tell yourself you're excited about those things. excitement goes along with that fast heart rate. it actually makes you feel more excited. steve: there's a lot to look forward to in the fall. alison: i'm going to jedi trick my mind into believing the winter won't be colds. steve: that's a great point. exercise is good for the body and mind. it may be true for kids. keeping your children in shape could wind up with them getting better grades in school. that's a win-win. apparently, though, the unspoken thing is it might be difficult to get your kids out and about with video games and technology and all that. >> of course. this study looked at kids able to run on the treadmill. how long could they go. and how well did they do on the standardized math tests. the ones who did better on the treadmill did better on the tests. there are a couple of ways of looking at that. aerobic exercise, if it's improving circulation, it might improve blood flow to the brain. you're maturing your brain faster. maybe it has to do with the parents. parents who encourage children to study more might encourage them to do more activities. steve: you might have more ambitious parents. >> exactly. you probably need parents to take a more assertive role in terms of physical fitness. back. they're not mandated to do the activities. steve: 30, 40 -- growing up, you had to go outside and run around to have something to do. it's not the case now. >> they're incentive with the schools is not mandated. and especially with the video games and computers and a lot of the other things -- steve: more fun to be inside than it used to be. >> kids after school might not be doing as many things as they used to. you might see more than the one hour. there might be several hours kids have cut back. steve: got to keep moving. all right. we appreciate it. have a great weekend. thank you. >> michael, let's talk about the weather. it did cool down a little. not as much as we were expecting. we're still in the 80s. >> our temps were above normal. we were thinking a high around 81 or so. we managed to get up to around 85. that was your high temperature this afternoon. look at the average high. it's 79. as we get into the early days of down. it hasn't happened yet. we had a couple of days, a few in a row, we had our first heat september. 77 was our low this morning. the average low is only 65. that would feel on the cool side, a little chilly i'm sure. but, yeah, sunset time is coming up just about now. in about a half hour. 6:26. this is what we have with our temperatures. 83. it's come down a bit. 82 in islip and 80 in bridgeport. it was nice and warm. a lot of folks were out there enjoying their holiday weekend at the beaches, at the rivers, whatever the case may be. hasn't been bad. look at the dew points. mostly in the lower 60s. now what we have is cooler, drier air working its way into the tri-state region because of a back door cold front that slid in. when the dew points drop into the lower 60s, the air feels less heavy than what we had over the week. it's not so thick in terms of the humidity. that trend will continue to happen as we get into the overnight hours and into tomorrow and

how is it? it tastes good! congratulations yoplait! you did it! yoplait! steve: last night's drone invasion at the u.s. open got us thinking about other famous visits that dropped in from the sky during major sporting events. alison: like when miller landed on the ropes during the '93 heavy weight fight in las vegas. fans were not happy. they showed him how they felt about it with their fists. he spent a short time in jail and ringside magazine named it the event of the year. steve: something similar happened during game 6 of the '86 world series. michael sergio parachuted in carrying a let's go mets sign. welcome. the pitcher was bobby who said that helped motivate the team. >> to jump out of a plane at night in the dark, land on the field during the world series, a crucial point in the world series, that was -- that was amazing that he actually did it. pulled it off and landed great. steve: look how nuts the crowd was going. that's incredible. amazing stuff. sergio spent a short time in jail before being released with the help of al demata. that was pre-9/11. you could do more. alison: amazing. in fox 5 health news, are you already starting to miss lazy days at the beach, outdoor cafes and barbecues? you don't have to start dreading the months ahead. steve: joining us, dr. devi from the nyu school of medicine. so this is a real thing. the light plays a big role. >> sure. it relates to the days getting blue. there are ways to get over that. sunlight. try to have more light available, especially with kids. spend more time in the sun. there are other things we can look forward to with the fall. just having cool weather, not the humidity. that's one positive. chocolate. and -- hot chocolate. there are studies that actually show when you feel anxious or down, sometimes your heart rate goes up. start breathing faster because you're feeling anxious. there are studies that show instead of telling yourself to calm down, it's better to tell yourself you're excited about those things. excitement goes along with that fast heart rate. it actually makes you feel more excited. steve: there's a lot to look forward to in the fall. alison: i'm going to jedi trick my mind into believing the winter won't be colds. steve: that's a great point. exercise is good for the body and mind. it may be true for kids. keeping your children in shape could wind up with them getting better grades in school. that's a win-win. apparently, though, the unspoken thing is it might be difficult to get your kids out and about with video games and technology and all that. >> of course. this study looked at kids able to run on the treadmill. how long could they go. and how well did they do on the standardized math tests. the ones who did better on the treadmill did better on the tests. there are a couple of ways of looking at that. aerobic exercise, if it's improving circulation, it might improve blood flow to the brain. you're maturing your brain faster. maybe it has to do with the parents. parents who encourage children to study more might encourage them to do more activities. steve: you might have more ambitious parents. >> exactly. you probably need parents to take a more assertive role in terms of physical fitness. back. they're not mandated to do the activities. steve: 30, 40 -- growing up, you had to go outside and run around to have something to do. it's not the case now. >> they're incentive with the schools is not mandated. and especially with the video games and computers and a lot of the other things -- steve: more fun to be inside than it used to be. >> kids after school might not be doing as many things as they used to. you might see more than the one hour. there might be several hours kids have cut back. steve: got to keep moving. all right. we appreciate it. have a great weekend. thank you. >> michael, let's talk about the weather. it did cool down a little. not as much as we were expecting. we're still in the 80s. >> our temps were above normal. we were thinking a high around 81 or so. we managed to get up to around 85. that was your high temperature this afternoon. look at the average high. it's 79. as we get into the early days of down. it hasn't happened yet. we had a couple of days, a few in a row, we had our first heat september. 77 was our low this morning. the average low is only 65. that would feel on the cool side, a little chilly i'm sure. but, yeah, sunset time is coming up just about now. in about a half hour. 6:26. this is what we have with our temperatures. 83. it's come down a bit. 82 in islip and 80 in bridgeport. it was nice and warm. a lot of folks were out there enjoying their holiday weekend at the beaches, at the rivers, whatever the case may be. hasn't been bad. look at the dew points. mostly in the lower 60s. now what we have is cooler, drier air working its way into the tri-state region because of a back door cold front that slid in. when the dew points drop into the lower 60s, the air feels less heavy than what we had over the week. it's not so thick in terms of the humidity. that trend will continue to happen as we get into the overnight hours and into tomorrow and sunday as well. things are looking pretty good, very comfortable. the winds are coming in from the east and northeast at 7 to 14 miles an hour. not a tremendous amount of wind. but it's enough for you to feel out there. that northeast wind also pulls in the cooler air from canada and off the atlantic waters. that's helping us out in terms of drying us out. where it's not helping is the rip currents. good. a northeast wind brought up the risk of rip currents. if you happen to be going to the beaches and you get caught in the rip currents, that's a narrow channel of water heading out to sea, it can be a panic situation. if you get caught in it, try not to panic and as you're in the rip current, you want to swim parallel to that rip current, parallel to the beach. once you come out of the channel of water that's taking you to sea, start making your way back in towards shore and that will situation. flag for help if you get too far out and someone should help you. that's one thing to be aware of on a holiday weekend. oftentimes on the beaches the staff kind of comes down for you along the long island beaches. we have mainly clear skies coming with that back door cold front that came through. it did not bring us much as far as showers go. there wasn't a lot to lift. we have the cooler air that's being forced in. without a lot of lift, it was hard to get things going. a few patchy showers are possible here later tonight as the cool air continues to make its way into the area. for the most part, it's a clearer sky and drier condition that we're going to enjoy through the holiday weekend. clearing skies coming up tonight. pretty comfortable. tonight's lows dropping down between 58 to 64. tomorrow, sunny and warm and dry again. high temp in the city around 81. as we go through the next seven days, we'll have a high of 81 tomorrow. 83 on sunday. all the way back up to 88 for you on monday. and then it gets about to 90 both tuesday and wednesday of next week. the humidity starts to pick up a bit. and some storm chances make that i way back in thursday and friday. a warm looking forecast. could see another heat wave. we're on the cusp here. alison: i'll take more of the warm weather. alison: wearing the right clothes may be the key to getting the most out of your workout. steve: ralph lauren ma banking on it. this smart shirt creates the ultimate workout.
