EXCITED FOR THAT. IT COULD BE LIKE YOU SAID, VERY SPECIAL FOR A LOT OF FOLKS WHO ARE GOING TO BE THERE. WE HERE AT HOME, RAMPING UP FOR FOOTBALL AND EVERYTHING ELSE, WE’VE GOT A MONDAY WITH A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN. KATIE: NOT THE NICEST START TO THE WEEK, A LITTLE HUMID. GET IT OUT OF THE WAY, AND IN THE MIDDLE TO LATE PART OF THE WEEK, IT IS GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL. CURRENTLY, WE’VE GOT SOME SPOTTY, LIGHT RAIN MAY BE NORTHEAST OF CINCINNATI AND SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND FORT WAYNE, INDIANA. WE ARE GOING TO BE IN AND OUT OF SAID ISOLATED DOWNPOURS, SHOWERS AND STORMS. I THINK A LOT US PRETTY QUIET, LOOKING AHEAD TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON STORMS. TEMPERATURES AROUND 88 TODAY AND IT IS CERTAINLY GOING TO FEEL WARM AND YOU FACTOR IN THE INTENSE HUMIDITY. FOR TONIGHT, WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET RID OF THE RAIN AND STORMS. IT CONTINUES THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TEMPERATURES FALL INTO AROUND 71, SO WARM OVERNIGHT ONCE AGAIN. FIGURE SEVERE THREAT AROUND CHICAGO AND PLACES FURTHER NORTHWEST OF THE VIEWING AREA, BUT AS FOR US, WE COULD SEE A HANDFUL OF STORMS PRODUCED SOME GUSTY WIND TODAY.

SENDING TO BE AWARE OF, THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT AFTER 12:00 THIS AFTERNOON, THAT IS WHEN THE STORMS ARE GOING TO START TO POP UP. MOSTLY DRY THROUGH THE MORNING, A COUPLE OF ISOLATED SHOWERS POSSIBLE AS WE START OUT. I WOULD SAY BETWEEN NOON AND THE CLOCK IS GOING TO BE A BETTER WINDOW FOR SCATTERED STORMS.

WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A LINE OF STORMS COMING OUT OF THE NORTHWEST THAT WILL DROP INTO THE AREA, BUT IT WILL BRING US MORE WET WEATHER HEADING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. FOR TOMORROW, WE HAVE 86 FOR THE HIGH. HUMIDITY WILL BE DROPPING WHEN WE GET RID OF THE RAIN AND THUNDER, SOMETIME BETWEEN NOON AND 2:00. WE GOT WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH GREAT HUMIDITY LEVELS. TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO FALL BACK INTO THE 70’S AND LOW 80’S, SO A REALLY PRETTY STRETCH OF WEATHER.

OMAHA, Neb. —

Hearing the word "cancer" is scary for anyone, especially when you're just 9 years old. Sammy Strawn can call himself a survivor, and one heck of a baseball player too.

You don't have to be around Sammy for long to know he's anything but quiet on the field.

"My dad taught me when I was like maybe 3 or 4, so baseball's life to me," Sammy said.

But last October, he wasn't feeling like his normal self.

"We first found out after he had a prolonged headache at school and had to come home from school," his dad Joe said.

That long headache turned out to be caused by a brain tumor.

"It was a pilocytic astrocytoma," Joe said.

But baseball stayed on Sammy's mind. So when his parents told him what was going on, Joe said Sammy had just two questions: "First one: 'Am I going to live?' The second one: 'Am I going to play baseball again?'"

Joe and his wife Sarah Wemhoff-Strawn say they caught the tumor early on.

"(It was) not genetic, it was just a formulation of bad cells," Sarah said.

Between October and November, Sammy had two surgeries within weeks of each other. And just three days later, he was back to playing catch again.

"I didn't want to lie to him and say 'you will play baseball again,'" Joe said. "That was never a guarantee," Sarah chimed in.

Joe said he "was hoping by April he would be playing baseball and even that, I wasn't sure it was going to happen."

Sammy's impact inspired his parents so much that they started Sammy Strong, a foundation aiming to provide resources for families and everyone else involved in the life of a child facing what Sammy did.

Meanwhile, Sammy hasn't missed a single game or practice since his surgery.

He's grateful for his teammates.

"It's like they didn't even notice that I had cancer, and I was just a normal kid on the baseball team," Sammy said.

"I think grateful is the biggest understatement in the world," Sarah said.

Joe and Sarah say it's unlikely that the tumor will come back. But Sammy gets a check-up every three months to make sure everything is alright.
