MIAMI - The wet weather pattern that we've experienced so far this holiday weekend will continue through Labor Day.An upper level of low pressure swirling near the Florida peninsula will continue to keep our chances for rain and thunderstorms higher than average on Monday. Watch out for heavy rain and lightning if you have outdoor plans.The chance of rain will begin to lower Tuesday afternoon. The National Weather Service said for Wednesday there is a chance of showers and thunderstorms early, then showers are likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 2 p.m.As the upper level low departs, look for drier conditions by the second half of the work week, with storms becoming more isolated by Thursday and Friday. With lower rain chances, however, comes the return of hotter conditions.Highs will warm back into the low to middle 90s by Thursday and Friday, where heat advisories may be needed once again as heat index values climb to at least 105 degrees.

If mashed potatoes and gravy are important, you might choose KFC. And those who want creole flavors may choose Popeye's. However, a Popeyes location in Panama City was recently temporarily shut down after a state inspection.

Aurora, Colo. -- Angry Aurorans on social media poked fun at the local news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Mike Coffman, Aurora mayor, posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.

I get that the big men in the trenches in football have to gorge down a bazillion calories to keep their weight up, and yet they're still expected to have the stamina to run a hurry-up offense if necessary at north of 300 pounds or thereabouts. That takes a special blend of discipline, freaky athleticism, and peak conditioning.

All those qualifiers aside, the effort or lack thereof that Florida Gators offensive guard Damieon George Jr. gave when his quarterback Graham Mertz threw an awful interception is the comedic gold stuff that dreams are made on. As Miami Hurricanes defensive back Mishael...
