see a little cool-down as the night goes along and the sky will clear out. let's check out what's happening on our wind flow. you can see it's a southwest wind about 5, 10-plus miles an hour. it will get stronger as we get into this -- in the wake of this cold front tomorrow. it's an intensifying storm heading into southern canada. there are a couple more showers on fox 5 sky guardian 3-d. they're

dari: she thought it was pneumonia. >> which is confusing to me. because, you know -- i'm assuming -- we don't know a lot of details. having blood clots in your lungs is a pretty straightforward diagnosis. it doesn't look like a pneumonia. let's assume that she didn't go to the right place. but, look, having a clot in your that could lead to death, and way. once you have a clot in your lungs, you cannot bring oxygen to your body because the clots prevent that. now, here's the thing. why would you get clots? especially in a young woman like her. well, there are several factors. one, sometimes people have inheritable clotting conditions that they don't know. typical example, young girl, getting birth control, she's on the subway, she has pains in her leg, next time she can't breathe and she got that because of the estrogen in the hormones and she has an underlying clinical condition she didn't know. dehydration also a big part. when you're severely dehydrated -- i would assume with the rigorous exercise and routines she has to do, dehydration or just pushing your body the wrong way, that could release a clot in your legs that could travel through your heart into your lungs. a very problematic condition. the good news is it's treatable. she will be on anticoagulation therapy for a long time. these clots tend to resolve themselves. then once you find what triggered it, then people can prevent it. and that's the important message. it's something that you need to treat right away and take very seriously. steve: sure. dari: she was killing it on "dancing with the stars", doing well. despite all the efforts to bring obesity levels down, the cdc says rates are rising. why are we surprised when kentucky fried chicken with deliver to people's houses in san francisco and l.a.?
