I'm Chris James filling in for Carla Jews this week and for much of the Southeast, it'll be a wet and windy start to the week.

Tropical Storm S I s is the ninth named storm of the 2020 Atlantic Hurricane season.

On Sunday, it was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm.

But that doesn't mean it's not still dangerous.

Tropical storms can move slower than hurricanes, which leaves more people in the path for longer.

On Sunday morning, Florida felt the first effects from s ideas.

High winds, rain and flooding are expected for many areas along the Florida coast.

The storm is projected to soak Florida all day Monday as it slowly moves up the coastline, hitting Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia and eventually making its way towards the Northeast on Tuesday, there's even a full moon expected on Monday, which will keep tides higher than normal and could lead to a larger storm Surges.

Sustained winds are in the 65 mile per hour range, which keeps it at a tropical storm level, but there are wind gusts, which could be even higher and can cause power outages for the most up to date information.

According to some industry experts, a side effect of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is that we may have to wait longer than usual for the lights to come back on after a hurricane hits.

Normally, large crews from across the country common set up base camps in order to figure out how to restore power to affected areas.

But with social distancing guidelines and effects, crews will now need to figure out alternative ways to coordinate getting the power back while staying safe.

Researchers from Colorado State University predict there's a 70% chance the East Coast will be hit by a major hurricane this season, so make sure to stay prepared and keep those devices charged.

The average age of an NFL player is around 26 a half years old, but this quarterback won a Super Bowl at the age of 41 making him the oldest Q B toe win the big game.

Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning.

Tom Brady was 41 years and 183 days old when he won Super Bowl 53 with the New England Patriots.

Brady now plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the city of Tampa Bay will be the hosts of Super Bowl 55 if the season plays out its scheduled.

There's still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the NFL due to the ongoing covert 19 pandemic as of July 28th, there have been 21 players that have tested positive since training camps reopened and another 107 players tested positive during the off season.

CNN's chief medical correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, got an inside look at how NFL teams were trying to minimize the spread of the virus and what could be expected of the NFL season.

When it's back in action come September, you're getting an exclusive look at an NFL training facility.

It's been essentially a ghost town here since March.

A training camp is now about to begin for the Atlanta Falcons.

Here is the plan, and there's other people who say it's absolutely ludicrous to even try this.

The country is in the middle of a pandemic.

Football's great, but you got to sit this season out.

I think people are trying to be really thoughtful about this, and I think people do look at risk and risk mitigation in different ways.

But I feel like it's the right thing to do to try to learn to live with this virus.

Alan Sils is chief medical officer for the NFL.

Were both neurosurgeons and we've known each other for several years.

The last NFL game was February 2nd of this year.

The Chiefs beat the 40 Niners 31 to 20 two days earlier, the U.

S declared a public health emergency because of coronavirus emergency in the United States.

Since then, millions of people have become infected.

And now the NFL wants to do the seemingly impossible bring back some sense of normalcy, toe one of the largest sports leagues in the country.

Some of the changes in doors are gonna look very familiar.

Lots of masks near constant sanitizing and physical distancing everywhere.

Treatment rooms, weight rooms, even mealtime and on the field actually three regulation size football fields here, side by side.

So first thing that jumps to your mind is how we can do physical distancing here, right?

So his players start strength and conditioning activities.

For example, you know you're talking about each individual or each very small group having a lot of space to work with.

There will even be this new space age looking technology, a bubble of sorts for those who want it.

A number of our players have worn I shields over the past years, uh, for protection or for performance reasons, so it's basically an extension of that device.

But it's a multilayered device so that you've got ventilation holes and you've got some filters in it.

There are these proximity tracking devices that will beep or flash when players or staff get too close to one another.

And then that data is collected, making contact tracing easier if someone does become infected.

Now, unlike the MBA bubble that's isolated the entire league in Orlando, the NFL has more of what they call an ecosystem.

People will still live in their own homes, they'll be with their own families, and they will travel with their teams for games players, coaches, staff.

If they're around each other each day, they're going to share risk.

They also share responsibility to each other, which means that they're each making good choices when they're away from the facility all around the building.

But that also means the entire ecosystem is only a strong as its weakest link.

I would say, Yeah, sure, they they have the same, um, anxious nous that you would have.

Rich McKay is CEO of the Atlanta Falcons.

They're relying on us, and they're relying on the union to make sure that all the protocols we dio everything that we can is done at the highest level that we can.

Everything that we do is going to have an impact on families at home, and it's going to have an impact on first responders, community service and other people in the community, and to believe otherwise is sheer fantasy.

Demaurice Smith is executive director of the n f L P A.

That's the union representing players on the field.

This year, there have been some pretty tense negotiations between the union and league about how to play in the age of Cove in 19 and Smith pointed out something that I hadn't heard before.

About 70% of NFL players could be considered vulnerable themselves or it increased risk.

What we've done is tracked the CDC risk guidelines made decisions on which ones put our players in high risk, and players can rely on those risk factors to make decisions about whether they're gonna play or not.

I was actually surprised by that, because you think of athletes just being these super human, you know, sort of perfectly healthy people.

We still do not know a lot of the basics about this disease and where it's going to be headed.

Andi think it harkens back again to those conversations that each individual has toe have, and they have to in their mind make what's the best decision for for themselves.

This is where they would come in for testing.

The league and the union have agreed to test every player daily for at least the first two weeks of training camp, eventually moving toe in every other day schedule.

Once the team reaches a 5% positivity rate and then maintains that how it up?

Did you ever think Look, maybe this season is gonna be awash.

We'll get back to it next year, but this isn't essential.

As much as I love football, this isn't essential compared to the essential things that are needed in the country.

Yeah, I would say that that probably those thoughts went through your mind three months ago.

I think as we move forward and we saw that basketball is gonna do this, baseball is gonna do this.

We get to go last, we can learn from them.

And so I think for us we got the message that people wanted football.

That's not the reason toe play that people wanted.

But if we can do it in a way that is a safe, is it possibly could be.

It's one thing to see a family pet crawling into the kiddie pool.
