and orange usually means it's hot right these are not the colors of August as you want to see that's for sure Jackie absolutely yeah we have excessive heat warning up for the Chicago area as you can see in the pink here heat advisory just off here in Northwest Indiana uh it's all bad news for us again folks yesterday we missed hitting the record by one degree today I think we can exceed the record the record is 97 degrees we're going to have all the heat in here like yesterday we're going to add the humidity to it like we did yesterday and we're going to have heat index levels that rise dramatically right now we're looking at 79° in Chicago it already feels like 82 de with this very soppy 70° dupoint temperature a measure of the moisture in the air temperature right now 79 degrees at O'Hare factor in that humidity it feels like 82 at O'Hare feels like 80 at Midway already at this time of the morning and we're looking at temperatures that'll rise to about 98 today chance of some thunderstorms very widely scattered in the afternoon a little more frequent as we head into the nighttime hours so 98 today heat index to 110 plus future feels like temperatures here on this model bring us up to 108 Dees and areas out to the southwest and 107 at oare storms come in this afternoon I think they'll be uh scattered about and become more frequent as we go into the nighttime hours but you can see we have some very strong storms we do have a chance for strong to severe storms around here level two of severe in the yellow that's level two out of five and level one to the South heavy rain we can have strong damaging winds a lot of lightning out here as well along with hail tonight 74 degrees we stay very warm with scattered thunderstorms and tomorrow what relief with 86° tomorrow 87 Thursday 84 Friday and look at that holiday weekend coming up beautiful weather Sunshine nice temperatures back to you all right Ed thank you so much well you might remember this little girl we first told you about Mary Hill of neille about a year ago she has wolf Hersh horn syndrome which causes delays in growth and development the family says she has taught them the true meaning of the quote life is not about waiting for the story to pass it's about learning to dance in the rain so each year they host a dance party to celebrate her the family just celebrated Mary and her twin brother James's fifth birthdays and they started kindergarten a few days ago Mary says she wants to be a dancer when she grows up well a historic Mission delayed coming up space historian Jordan Bim is here with us with more on what we can expect from the first ever private space walk and this morning we are on the roof of the Emily hotel at the Rooftop Cinema Club and we're going to talk to people who make it happen from everything from that ginormous screen behind me to these headphones we'll be right back with more [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] welcome back SpaceX has pushed today's scheduled launch of Polaris Dawn to tomorrow because of a helium Lake the historic mission is set to take a civilian crew of four astronauts into a record orbit above Earth more than three times higher than the International Space Station the mission will also attempt the first ever commercial space walk so joining us now to dig into the significance of this launch space historian and assistant professor of science communication at the University of Chicago Jordan Bim so Jordan good morning to you thanks so much for being with us yeah great to be with you so this launch has many first including that it is the first commercial space walk and the farthest human space flight since Apollo so can you just help us put that into perspective right so when we think of billionaires going to space we often think uh of these sort of thrill-seeking adventurers who just want to get like a really good view of Earth and come back down you know in a matter of minutes but Jared isaacman the billionaire behind this flight uh you know really wants to take uh commercial space flight and Associate it more with what we uh think of when we think of space exploration which was science and pushing the boundaries of what is possible so he is really trying to go for some record firsts here including the highest orbital altitude achieve achieved uh you know since the Apollo Moon flights in the 1960s and '70s and the first all commercial space walk and this will be the first time that the crew Dragon uh SpaceX capsule has been used for an Eva and the first test of spacex's new Eva suits which you see on the screen right now so it's going to be a very exciting mission to watch it's going to bring back that sort of excitement that we associate historically with space exploration wow I love it let's talk a little bit about the crew this will also be the highest flight by a woman ever so Sarah Gill and Anna men are going to be aboard that what is the significance of of that right so you just put uh you just you just said it uh they will be the the um uh the record holders for uh for the women's altitude record uh previously that was uh held by Kathy Sullivan who was one of the astronauts on the Space Shuttle that actually put the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit back in 1990 uh that flight reached uh about 500 km above the Earth so they're going to be going significantly higher than that and even though only two members of the crew Sarah Gillis and Jerick isman will actually leave the spacecraft to do that space walk um it's important to know that the other uh astronauts inside the capsule will also be in their suits as well and experiencing a vacuum there's no airlock uh in this Space Capsule so all of them will be exposed to the vacuum of space but only two will actually go outside for about a half an hour and that is planned to happen on day three of this Mission so if we launch on Wednesday you know watch for it around Friday or Saturday this may be a really silly question but what do you get when you get higher or go higher into space and into orbit like is it just a a better view of I mean what is the goal of that I guess so there's actually something really important out there it's something called the Van Allen radiation belts and it is part of the Earth's magnetosphere that uh traps uh charged particles and this can be a very dangerous environment to spend a lot of time in but because these astronauts are only going there for a very brief period of of you know matter of hours or days uh you know they should be okay but they do plan to carry out some biomedical experiments about the radiation dosage that they receive flying through that area of space that normally astronauts never encounter unless they are flying to the Moon as we did in the late 60s and early 70s fascinating okay I want to quickly ask you about the two astronauts who are currently stuck up at the International Space Station after the Boeing Starliner ran into some problems mid-flight we know that they will be coming back on a SpaceX much later than originally planned so what does that say to you about both companies and just the space industry as a whole right now well this week really is the tale of two spacecraft right and this is the type of space history that we don't want to be talking about this is the first time in space history that the first crude launch of uh of a new type of spacecraft the Boeing Starland will not carry those astronauts back to Earth so over the weekend NASA administrator Bill Nelson made the tough but correct decision to have them remain on board the ISS and to fly uh back to Earth in February with the crew 9 SpaceX Dragon uh capsule so you know this was because uh the Starliner encountered some Thruster issues on its way to the ISS the Boeing team and NASA Engineers have not been able to understand exactly what that problem is so they can't put a risk uh assessment on that so they made the correct choice just to keep the astronaut safe Jordan Bim space historian and assistant professor of science communication at the University of Chicago thank you so much for your time great to be with you Jackie thank you we'll see you right after the break [Music] [Music] this is CBS News Chicago good morning I'm Jackie CK with a quick look at your

soar into the dangerous category meteorologist Ed Curran is now here with our first alert forecast and Ed we really are talking about dangerous uh temperatures uh with the humidity too that's just it's cooking and it makes my hair gooo that's that's the meteorological term we use yes uh the uh the old hair hygrometer yeah tells us just how humid it is outside and uh absolutely you know what it is uh it's not just the heat as you know it's the humidity we had a good deal of humidity yesterday and we'll have more of it today in fact we'll have heat index levels that could get as high as 110

warning in place for most of the Chicago area with those heat index levels that'll climb together with the temperatures that get up to about 70 about 98° today that would break the old record of 97° plus all the humidity in here storms coming late today that could be on the stronger even the sever side and the humidity makes it very very dangerous because your body can't dissipate the heat when you sweat you've got so much moisture in the air you just can't sweat the way you'd like to so um stay in touch with the weather today stay hydrated and the heat has a cumulative effect on your body so you want to make sure that you get into an area even for a little while with air conditioning and that helps take the toll off your body okay go into a store do something if you don't have air conditioning 988 today after the storms come through we bring in relief tomorrow with 86 degrees 87 on Thursday temperatures that moderate you ought to be in the low 80s this time of year right around

debate with vice president kamla Harris just two weeks before the two were set to go head-to-head I said why am I doing it let's do it with another Network I want to do it Trump slamming the debate's host Network as Harris pushes for a change of her own her campaign writing Trump's handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don't think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own it was an arrangement made during the only debate between Trump and President Biden yesterday the former president suggested he'd have no problem with the switch it doesn't matter to me I'd rather have it probably un also yesterday Trump sought to tie Harris to the attack that killed 13 troops at kabble airport 3 years ago during the Biden administration's chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan he laid a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery and campaigned in Michigan the humiliation in Afghanistan set off the collapse of American credibility Harris released a statement saying

humidity we will just roll right along do you know that uh one of the instruments used to measure humidity does use human hair inside of a thing it's a hygrometer and instead of being electric I mean it uses a human hair wow there you go anded you are full fun you well so I'm a scientist I don't know how fun they are but they're FS anyway you are the human hygrometer Jackie and we have an excessive heat warning that's up until uh tonight when we have some storms come through that'll give us some relief from the heat but boy we've got the heat the humidity today we have dangerous conditions around Chicago as humidity is once again up at those tropical levels so lots of heat around here 79 de currently due point of 70° tropical feel in the air makes it feel like 82° Southwest winds at 6 mil per hour 79 degrees in O'Hare we're missing a bunch of temperatures to the South here perhaps the computer will pick those up uh from the Weather Service as we go a little bit later on in the morning here 79 at O'Hare and feels like temperatures around the area as high as that 82 at O'Hare and 80 at Midway Airport everybody else is starting to climb up there as we factor in the humidity we get up to about 98° today 98° with some showers and storms possible in the afternoon widely scattered about a little more frequent as we head into the nighttime hours tonight but that gives us some relief after today's 98 and heat index levels that could get up to 107 degrees in oare up to 115 not out of the question in some of the outlying areas as we go into the afternoon hours you can see we have rain moved through this 4:30 in the afternoon uh these will be scattered and come through and then on the other side more storms come through now some of these storms could be

weather the storm led to thousands of outages in the area many are still in the dark at this hour well we've been told Ed storms may be on the horizon for us this evening possibly even late afternoon yeah as a matter of fact Dana and I'll show you this in a second but the Storm Prediction Center has just raised us to a level two out of five now we were split across the area before with a marginal level to the South now the entire area is under a level two I'll show you that in a second here it just came in just moments ago we're looking at excessive heat warning across the pink area you're looking at here most of the Chicago area in the excessive heat warning with very high temperatures today and extremely high tropical humidity levels more like New Orleans than Chicago we have a temperature right now in at 8:00 for 80° feels like 84° with high humidity levels in a Southwest wind to 10 m an hour so it's 80 Dees at O'Hare feels like 84 to ohare feels like 82 at both wagan and Midway so the humidity really making itself felt already we'll see a high of about 98° today and we'll have those storms roll in possible in the afternoon more widely scattered in the afternoon I think and later on in the evening hours is when you really start to see more frequency of these storms 98 today would break the old record of 97 heat index to 110 even 115 in some cases possible our future feels like temperature at O'Hare looks to get to about 107 out to the Southwest about 108 some folks could see higher than that so storms roll in widely scattered afternoon more frequent at the nighttime hours and again the entire area now under a level two out of five levels for severe risk across the Chicago area so everybody's in the yellow here after we get through this stuff tomorrow after a night tonight of storms is a nicer night with 86 degrees tomorrow and then temperatures tend to moderate into a beautiful holiday weekend back to you all right Ed thank thank you well this

cocktails here um some light refreshing ones to enjoy outside um some um nice cocktails um the food and beverage offerings we bring those popcorns nachos that you'll see at your traditional movie theater we also have hot dogs pizzas um something new to our menu this year we brought in a walking taco which is very popular there people are enjoying a lot so that's a new one to the menu oh I love

really fantastic all right summer vacation for pretty much every student is over but a lot of families are still planning some getaways CBS travel editor Peter Greenberg is here with more on what's expected to be a record-breaking Labor Day weekend and it is a new type of camp for kids we'll show you the program teaching them how to stay cyber safe [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] welcome back everyone you know it is that time of week where we might start dreaming about a getaway and joining us now with with uh Peter pix and pans is CBS travel editor Peter Greenberg okay Peter where are you today today I'm actually anchored in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Ecuador in the fabulous galpagos islands and and fabulous you mean it right it's amazing well it's a great protected marine environment it's a UNESCO world heritage site and they actually limit the number of arrivals here so they limit growth this is one place you're not going to find over tourist wow how amazing I'm sure it is but let's move on to more you know realistic Destin and topics for those of us here back in you know back in Chicago School of course back in session but some families may be ready to pack their bags and head out of town for Labor Day weekend the TSA anticipating at another record-breaking weekend and American Airlines says it should be its largest Labor Day operation ever so how do you see this weekend playing out and how early do you head to the airport on this holiday believe well believe it or not a lot of people have already left yeah uh they've already left because seasonality is not with us that much anymore and they can they can book in their flights the real problem is going to be on Labor Day itself because so many people have to get back because of school openings and other and other considerations so that's what the TSA is worried about is that Labor Day return flight that Labor Day mess at the airport but at least in terms of going out a lot of people are staggering their departures but the one thing that you should know is while travel is up this Labor Day 9% over last year airfares are now starting to come down and you're about to see after Labor Day probably the 3D fourth or fifth of September some major airfare sales that'll last throughout the rest of the year oh that is really good information definitely um something to file away there in the old memory for those looking to travel a little later in the year um let's move on to the Cyber attack that hit Seattle's airport and led to a system outage and long delays for travelers over the last several days hundreds had to SLP their check bags through TSA is it just us or are airports getting hacked a lot more recently so you know what gives and and is anyone doing anything about it well it's not necessarily just being hacked it's a system breakdown without a backup and we saw that happen of course last month and the month before that we've seen it happen before with Southwest Airlines in their systems back in 2022 it's a huge wakeup call for any mass transportation operation whether it's an airport an airline a cruise line you name it to get that backup system in place because the problem is not when the system goes goes down the problem is how do you recover and how fast do you recover and that's where the problems completely and exponentially increase that's what they've got to do people who want to save space uh speaking of traveling and cram as much stuff in as they can in their luggage or their carry on turn to packing cubes or even vacuum sealing their items but on your site peterg greenberg.com you wrote about how saving space could cost you big time at the airport what do you mean well you've seen all those ads on late night TV about those vacuum sealed bags that you know they really compress all your items into a very small flat object which is great if you want to save space in your closet but a lot of people are try to do that when they pack their bags uh to go on a trip the problem is that TSA has the right to open your bags if they suspect something's in there that not supposed to be in there and if they do that they're going to break that vacuum seal and you know what happens then everything just basically goes like this and the TSA is not in the packing business or are they in the repacking business and your bag may not make your flight and you you may not see your bag for quite some time so I guess the advice there is only use them if you really need to use them right otherwise you could be some trouble no no no only you use them if you're staying at home do not pack them in your bags Because by the time the TSA opens that I'm not talking about a conveyor belt doing carry-on bags I'm talking the check-in bags if they open them there you have a problem because you're already at the gate and your bags have now exploded so don't do it leave them at home good advice all right CBS travel editor Peter Greenberg thanks so much for joining us and we will see you again soon you got it that does it for us here right now thanks for joining me coming up uh we will be on the news at 9: Jackie CK will be alongside me today in for Audrina But first you might be aware of ways to steer clear of online scams but what about your kids children are becoming the preferred Target of cyber criminals and Asher karashi reports what kids don't know could put their future even their finances at risk [Music] now the kids at this computer summer camp outside Chicago are definitely having fun but the lessons they learning are serious what should you do if you s here account's been hacked they're playing a game that teaches them how to spot online fraud what is the best way to protect yourself from scammer emails I got it I got it I got kids are basically being born with an iPad or phone in their hands and for them to understand how to become part of a connected Society the University of Chicago's marshan chedy designed the cybernaut app to help them become cyber safe so that we're not just throwing them in a pool with shocks we're trying to get them comfortable with the pool before there any shocks on the water FBI data shows money lost from online crimes against children more than tripled from about A5 million dollar in 2022 to 2 million dollar last year hold on that's why cheddy thinks cyber security education should begin as early as kindergarten and she says teachers need better training too like they'll say to a kid well here's your password it's got our class number your personal name like personally identifiable information and they'll put in a little card and give it to them to give to their parents and then and so that's their first experience with the password is it's written down write you can give it to other people your personal information and then a few years later we like don't don't do that not do that it's a very bad idea so that's why it's important to start these lessons early because otherwise you get this poor security hygiene and it's really hard to undo lessons like a zero trust approach online which includes avoiding malicious links attachments and downloads usually from emails and texts also strong passwords for parents and school districts keeping software updated installing security patches and using good antivirus protections there are circumstances where compromised student accounts have led led to significant disruptions and issues in schools kids at school are increasingly vulnerable to another kind of cyber crime one aimed at taking down their entire school system your children's digital identities were compromised everything on my children their doctor's information their bus stop information if they walk to and from school what bus stop they go to their medical records where we live where we work every bit of information about our lives they have I'm Asher Ki CB C BS news
