leave with a lot to talk about. >> it's one of those plays like a lot of his work, but it defies a clear explanation. people come going i want to know what this is about, it's illusive and more like

5 health. actress and singer selena gomez revealing she has the autoimmune disease lupus. the reason she took a break from the spotlight was to seek medical care and go through chemo. dari: dr. manny is in the house. we're all shaking our heads. >> i'm surprised -- look, it's not surprising for me that she is saying she has lupus because it's a very common disease in women between the ages of 20 and 40. dari: but the treatment. >> the treatment, because -- you know -- lupus is an autoimmune disease. it's when your immune system creates antibodies that affects cells. you get the rash in the face, you have joint pains, malaise, you're tired, fatigued. then you can do laboratory tests to see if your antinuclear antibodies is positive or not. if you have a mild case, you take ibuprofen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. sometimes you take steroids. to get to the point of chemotherapy, that means that your immune system is attacking because these are very toxic chemicals. i don't hang around with her to tell you how active she is. she seems pretty active a couple of weeks before. i don't know. i'm glad she said what she said. it's good to have awareness about lupus and -- it's very common. and there's treatments for it. it could go into remission. you can lead a normal life. dari: have you ever heard of this, treating it with chemo? >> yeah. a lot of people take chemotherapy, sometimes even in pill forms like methyl trexate. those are typical cases after everything fails, you have the lupus flair up and it's a chronic thing. you have to arrest it. steve: let's talk about this. obviously as we get older, it's harder to keep the pounds off. this study shows us that the earlier you go to bed, the better off you are. even regardless of what schedule you works. >> what's my problem? i go to bed at 8:00. look at me. this is very interesting. it does reveal the fact that the less sleep you get, over a five-year period -- it doesn't happen in one night -- over a five-year period, you tend to have an increase in your bmi, statistical increase, so you tend to be heavier. explanation, if you go to bed late, after 11:00, you tend to eat more, especially in the evening and snack watching tv. also, you wake up not having the time that you want to have eating a healthy breakfast. so you rush out the door. the other physiological importance is when you don't have enough hours of sleep, your metabolism changes, hormones change like cortisol. steve: the stress hormone. >> it goes up. that increases your sugar. higher sugars makes more fat. more fat makes you heavier. that's the answer why people should focus on getting that seven hours, especially adults and younger kids even more than that. god, i'm so smart. dari: you really is. you can talk about anything. you want to do the weather? >> give me another one. the weather. the weather. beautiful weather. nick: see, he got it right. exactly. what about tomorrow? dari: why don't you run for president? >> i would have certain positions on the weather. dari: you should run for president. steve: he won't reveal them now. if he were elected, he'd let us know his positions on the weather. beautiful day. but changes tomorrow? nick: changes tomorrow. we have a weak front coming in. that's going to cause a couple of showers. it's not going to put any dent in the rainfall deficit. we're behind for this time of year. whatever rain we had last weekend helped, but we have a long way to go. it will be a dry pattern into next week. today we hit 72 in the city. another day above average. albany back to buffalo. 75 towards pittsburgh. nothing happening on the radar as fox 5 sky guardian confirms. there might be a couple of showers late tonight. mostly early tomorrow morning over the far northern and western suburbs. i don't think you'll see that much. tomorrow afternoon the chance will increase and the showers, you see them here, located across the northern parts of michigan with the front approaching tomorrow. we're off the highs. we're down into the 60s now. 64 belmar. that's down two degrees in the last hour. 66 in the city. we're hanging on to low and middle 60s across long island. 69 at poughkeepsie. back to 68 sussex. and hanging on to 70 at allentown. a lot of the areas down two to five degrees from 24 hours ago. a little ocean component to the wind has helped to cool things down a bit. there is the wind. you can see it out of the south-southeast in a few places. it's light, 5, 10 miles an hour. south wind tonight will get breezy into tomorrow's forecast as the weather system approaches from the west. there's a couple of things in store in southern canada. there's a warm front moving ahead of that. that warm front will cross the area first. then we get into the south-southwesterly flow tomorrow. we're talking mid to upper 70s in parts of the area tomorrow. certainly the warmest day of the month. and we'll find the risk of a couple of showers in the morning and very few and far between. it's more so in the afternoon into the evening. you can see there's not a lot of rain. that's the shower activity we'll be watching. could be an isolated thunderstorm moving into the late afternoon and evening. the front is moving quickly, good news for the holiday weekend. then things will be looking nice for saturday. a little cooler, but nice and refreshing for fall. then we'll warm it back up, especially by the time we get to columbus day. it's mid 70s tomorrow. 80 in atlanta. 80s to near 90s in texas. 80 south florida. notice on the other side of the front, there's the coolest of the air. chicago, 59. minneapolis, 61. back to 70 at denver. they've had warm to hot weather the last month and a half. here's our futurecast. more clouds as
