SUMMARY: In today’s CBS News Miami quickcast, chief meteorologist Ivan Cabrera forecasts high heat and potential rain, urging caution for outdoor plans. The Miami Dolphins prioritize quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s health after he suffered a concussion during a game. A teenager is in critical condition following a scooter accident where a Good Samaritan lifted the SUV that pinned her. In labor news, over 33,000 Boeing union workers have gone on strike after rejecting a contract; the company risks losing up to $1 billion weekly. Additionally, there’s a search for a missing pregnant woman, and Dwyane Wade will be honored with a statue at the FTX Arena.

In today’s Quickcast:

Tua Tagovailoa is now dealing with the third diagnosed concussion of his NFL career, all of them coming in the last 24 months.
And there are now questions about his future — both short-term and long-term.
The Miami Dolphins quarterback was hurt in his team’s 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, sustaining the injury on a play where he collided into Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin. Tagovailoa, who was rushing successfully for a first down, initiated the contact by lowering his shoulder into Hamlin instead of sliding as many quarterbacks do on a scramble.
Players from both teams immediately began gesturing that Tagovailoa needed medical attention as he lay on the turf and exhibited some signs typically associated with a traumatic brain injury. He remained down on the field for a couple of minutes, got to his feet and walked to the sideline after the play in the third quarter.
He made his way to the tunnel not long afterward, looking into the stands before smiling and departing toward the locker room. The Dolphins needed only a few minutes to announce that he would not return to the game.

SUMMARY: An official linked to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been appointed head of the U.S. Institute of Peace, a think tank targeted by President Trump for closure. The filing states two board members authorized replacing the temporary president with Nate Cavanaugh and transferring the institute’s property to the General Services Administration. This follows the firing of nearly all 300 employees and a tense standoff earlier this month. The court filing seeks to stop the actions or address them through a status conference. An executive order in February called for the institute’s closure, along with other agencies.

SUMMARY: South Florida is experiencing spotty showers and thunderstorms, especially as the Miami-Dade County Fair continues this weekend. Attendees should be prepared for possible rain and pack umbrellas. The area has seen light rain, with some heavier downpours reported in parts like Hollywood and Southwest Ranches. An upper-level disturbance is enhancing rain chances, with potential for isolated thunderstorms, particularly in the afternoon. Although scattered showers will persist into the evening, tomorrow’s forecast suggests a decrease in rain chances as warm and humid conditions settle in, with temperatures rising into the mid-80s throughout the week.
