Strong winds. We had street flooding some locations in the northern portions of the valley receiving over an inch of rain. Officially at the airport though it was just a trace. We do have a trace for wet weather today. I want to start out with a timelapse. This is the south east career sun to the west and clouds to the east. Weve got convection developing over the Spring Mountains. Temperatures though, what a difference today. This is becker middle school. 87 right now. When is the last time we saw Something Like that right . 78 degrees at Alexander Dawson school. Winds east northeast about four miles per hour. As we look at some of the radar picture there not really showing up but here is a look at what were expecting today. The Las Vegas Valley. 97 at 3 00. There is a chance for thunderstorm activity. Its probably going to be right around the time you are heading home from work this evening. Then by 9 00 should be cleared out. Were going talk more about the Storm Chances and where the best chances will be coming up in just a minute. Krystal thank you kelly. I know you will be tracking it all throughout the newscast. Lets talk politics. Donald trump saying the Clinton Foundation should be shut down. That foundation does charity work worldwide but has come Hillary Clintons relationship and sources of its fundraising. Michelle Yolanda Harris is a reporter from our sister station in columbus, ohio, spoke with trump and filed this report. Lets see the big news today. You mentioned that you would like to see the Clinton Foundation shut down. And money paid back because they apparently, you believe, got money from places they shouldnt have. Why now . They should have shut it down years ago. Frankly, they should have probably never opened it. But they should shut it down and give the money back to and gays and just about everybody else. It is ridiculous theyve taken in tens of millions of dollars. Its pay for play. You pay and you play. And i think it is a very, very bad thing for them and i think probably in many cases totally illegal. Reporter this is an organization, a massive nonprofit that helps a lot of people around the world. What would shutting it down do to those it hurts a lot of people. People go in and they see whats going on and they make a access to government. Its like selling government. So it is a very, very bad thing. And i think they will end up shutting it down. Reporter and shutting it down would accomplish . It would at least stop all the pay for play. I mean, it would stop whats going on when she was secretary of state they would make contributions and all of a sudden they have access and favors. Its ridiculous. I think they should shut it down. Well see what happens. Reporter you have mentioned pay to play several times. Way. If so, if that is true, what are the cliblts giving clintons giving and what are the recipients getting. They wrote a whole book on it. It was well received. The book is talking about a lot of things that have happened. When you have so many countries from different parts of the world that have such horrible views on gays and women and everybody, and they have taken tens of millions of dollars. 25 million in some cases. Krystal bill clinton saying he will step down and wont raise money for the foundation if his wife is elected. Also foreign donations from corporations will no longer be accepted. Michelle we continued to reach out to the Clinton Campaign for a one and one interview. If and when that happens well bring it your way. This brings us to our question of the day. We want to know what you think. Should the Clinton Foundation be closed down . Let us know your thoughts on that. Head over to click on question of the day. A little icon there. Krystal the driver of a vehicle crashes their car into a Jewelry Store. Look at that. My goodness. All caught on camera. Thats frightening. Michelle awful. I mean, okay so well have the latest why this happened and how these people are doing. Plus, astronauts using their green thumb to prepare for a mission to mars. A look at the new technology to wonder what it would taste like . Krystal entertainers coming together. The concept behind mondays dark. Were going tell you what that means. How its expanding. The founder here to tell us about an exciting announcement. That is coming up at 12 30. Stay tuned. Eatment saved my life. So im really outraged that joe heck voted ten times to defund planned parenthood which thousands of nevada women depend on for cancer screenings. Congressman heck even threatened to shut down the federal government to eliminate funding for planned parenthood. Look at this video. This car just comes barreling into this Jewelry Store in tennessee throwing customers on to the ground. Look at that. My goodness. This is another angle of the crash. I mean, you can just see people scattered all over the this ford slammed into the Jewelry Store in memphis. The chaos caught on camera. An elderly wouldbe customer apparently misjudged his parking spot. Fortunately, despite all of that, no one was seriously hurt including a customer who was thrown about 15 feet and covered in glass. Just suffered a hairline fracture in his ankle. Michelle aside from the fact they survived, think about all the glass being thrown around. Very scary. Krystal absolutely. Michelle the american heart guidelines today concerning how much sugar our kids should be eating. The recommendation says children ages 218 should consume no more than six teaspoons of sugar per day. That kids under the age of two shouldnt have any added sugar at all. So were talking not about the stuff that comes in fruit. But were talking about added stuff. The American Heart Association says right now children are consuming way too much sugar and that can lead to Lifelong Health weight gain, Heart Disease and high blood pressure. Most new moms are Breast Feeding their babies. Thats good news. But the bad news according to the research here is that few are sticking with it for an entire year which is recommended. Theres a reason for that. A new survey from the centers for Disease Control reveals 81 percent of babies born in 2018 were breast fed from birth. Half at six months. However less than onethird of babys first birthday which is the minimum recommendation. They say the reason for is that because so many of us moms are now working moms and its difficult to find time to continue nursing. Its hard for people to pump at work even though there are laws that allow that. For those who are Breast Feeding thats great news. For those who arent thats great too. I always say a fed baby is best. Krystal whatever works for yo obama now. In louisiana today after severe flooding just ravaged that stay. Weve been bringing you images. Here is president obama visiting baton rouge. Look at that. Its going be a long road to recovery. The president also meeting with local officials to talk about emergency responses. Also trying to figure out a way the federal government can step in and help these communities because its going be a very theyve had 30 inches of rain. Severe flooding as you just saw over the course of a week. And, unfortunately, 13 people have lost their lives. Michelle lets bring kelly into the conversation. I have a question. Do you know how many inches we got last night in that storm . Kelly officially at the airport its going to go down as a trace. But up towards the northern end of the Las Vegas Valley we were looking at between about halfinch to inchandahalf. Michelle and look how much chaos that created. An inch to an and they had 30 inches. Thats just really puts it into perspective. Kelly and imagine this is louisiana. A lot of this is very saturated ground to begin with. Its swampland in many locations. So definitely a major problem out there. Can you imagine what would happen here if we had 30 inches of rain . We dont even want to think about that. Lets talk instead about what were seeing outside right now. A lot of blue sky out there. This is the inspirada overlook camera. We do have a little bit of haze you can start to see im going to try to point it out this is clouds. Theyre starting to form. A little bit of convection over the sheep range. Thats one of the areas were watching today. The sheep range and the spring range. We do have a lot of activity going on to our east. If we get any storms today theyre going to pop up there. Lets talk about these temperatures. I think its been wild today. I mean, you needed a sweater this morning. 82, thats the current temperature at sun city anthem and volunteer. Last week we didnt e lows this cool. Here is a look at what were seeing other places around the valley. Centennial and summerlin, 81. We have a great breeze too. I dont know if you have been outside yet. Its fantastic. Spring valley 85. Henderson 85 degrees right now. This is what weve been seeing for lows lately. Now it is a little bit muggy. The dew points, pretty high. Lakes were looking at 56 degree dew point. Green valley 58. 61 in henderson. Air. Were getting into the upper 50s, low 60s. Weve got enough moisture in the air to create thunderstorms. Its just whether or not we can get these things going. Here is a look at what weve got. That low pressure center, the trough that brought us the storms yesterday, its continuing to track off to the east. Arizona, utah, theyre seeing showers, thunderstorms right now. Not a whole lot going on in our area. A little bit of some activity into northern lincoln county. Again, the sheep range and the Spring Mountains thats whe thunderstorms popping up later this afternoon. Still a slight chance for action in the valley. Thats something that we will be watching. There is also a Flood Warning in effect for the muddy river. The water has crested at glendale but its continuing to go down stream. Overton hasnt quite crested yet. This goes through middle of the night tonight. Were keeping an eye on that. And if you come across a flooded roadway, turn around, dont drown. Today partly sunny skies. On news 3. Were going to have the latest updates. 98 thats todays expected high temperature. I think to be honest were going to be struggling to hit that. 80 for the low tonight. Chance of showers and storms in the evening then skies clearing out. Tomorrow we are expected to go back to triple digits. But good news is it will be short lived. 102 tomorrow. Mostly sunny skies. Look at friday, saturday and sunday. Dry conditions. Sunny skies and highs in the doubledigits. Im liking the im not use to seeing doubledigits. I got into my car during our break and it said 78. I thought something was wrong. Krystal i must admit last night it was cool enough to where i turned on the heat in my car. Michelle you did not . Krystal i did. [ laughter ] it was cool. I was out later than i should have been. Michelle i opened my windows and listened to the rain. Right now hundreds of miles above earth astronauts are growing food. Apparently this is really research to help nasa figure out how to some day feed astronauts on a manned mission to mars. Krystal thats right. Nasa working closely with experts to determine the right combination of plants and growing conditions. This is really interesting. John rogers is going to take us there with this report. In zero gravity circling high above earth astronauts aboard the International Space station new lettuce and it could never have been doneit of Sweet Grass Farms in sarasota. At this hydroponic farm the owner has worked with nasa to figure out which plants would grow best on a spacecraft. He has tested a wide variety of plants including basil, lettuce, cabbage and tomatoes. This will probably be one of the same plants that gos to mars. Reporter nasa wants plants that pack a mighty punch in a small space and is easy to grow. These tomatoes fit the bill. Grow 50 cherry tomatoes. Nasa said this is what we want because its compact, highly efficient. And were going to grow this in the space station. Reporter but growing food is more than just planting seeds. Thats where flori cam comes in. A sarasota based company thats developed a revolutionary type of fertilizer. Typically you have to reapply every couple weeks. This you can p i and it will fertilize a plant for three months. Nasa loves it because astronauts are too busy to be fulltime farmers. Less fertilizer being used, less waste and easier on labor for the farmer. Reporter their work will play a key role in keeping astronauts alive on their mission t
