In tonight's other news, at least six people are in critical condition after a knife attack inside a Michigan Walmart. Authorities say this was a random attack, that a 42-year-old man walked into the store Saturday night and used a folding knife to attack a dozen people.

Customers helped a sheriff's deputy subdue the assailant and treat others who were attacked. The suspect is in custody now. Prosecutors look to charge him with terrorism and assault.

Overseas, there is hope for resolution in the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia. The leaders of both countries have agreed to meet in Malaysia tomorrow for cease fire talks. The clashes stem from disputes over a 500 mile frontier between the two countries and dozens have been killed and more than 200,000 displaced.

While temperatures will soar, it's the humidity that will lead to feels like temperatures in the triple digits.
