If you are traveling the next few days, you could experience some weather-induced travel delays across parts of the country from a few fresh weather systems.

A new system will form across the central U.S. Monday, before spreading into the interior Northeast and Ohio Valley on Tuesday. It will eventually impact the major cities of the Northeast on Wednesday and Thursday. on This same system will trigger thunderstorms for the Midwest on Monday and for the South at least on Tuesday and Wednesday. Travel across these areas could be impacted, so take extra time for flights and road travel.

“Watson” ending explained: How the CBS series says farewell to John Watson

Watson wrapped its two-season run on May 3 after being canceled in early 2026.

Key Points

• The final episode finds Watson reuniting with Holmes amid his struggles with a brain tumor.

• Eddie Izzard guests as Sebastian Moran, an infamous villain from the Sherlock Holmes canon.

Watsonis one of the stranger procedurals to emerge over the past several years, reimagining the canon of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes books and stories inside an investigative medical drama. But, as its title implies, the focus isn't on Holmes, but Dr. John Watson (Morris Chestnut), the detective's loyal confidant. Along with his fellow doctors at the Holmes Clinic in Pittsburgh, Watson treats patients with baffling, often misleading symptoms.

Watson's first season began withHolmes' death, but the detective resurfaced in season 2 (played by Robert Carlyle). As the season unfolded, however, we came to learn that this version of Holmes was a hallucination brought on by the tumor in Watson's brain.

But season 2's penultimate episode threw us quite a twist when the real, non-imaginary Holmes turned up in the clinic with what appears to be a case of amnesia. Our heads are spinning, too.

The final episode of season 2, "Cobalt Fissure," will be the last episode ofWatson, as the series was canceled by CBS earlier this year. Below, we break down how the series says farewell to Chestnut's Watson while folding in another character from Doyle'sSherlock Holmesstories.

What's wrong with Holmes?

The episode begins with Watson being prepped for surgery at a clinic in Baltimore to deal with the glioblastoma in his brain. But he flees upon hearing that Holmes, who he's been hallucinating all season, has appeared back in Pittsburgh.

Holmes' symptoms — memory loss, dehydration, hypotension, elevated liver enzymes — confound Watson and the rest of the doctors, who spend much of the episode debating various treatments and potential diagnoses.

The secret to Holmes' condition, however, lies in an old case he and Watson investigated years prior. They reminisce about it as Holmes' memory returns — a three-day pursuit of an adversary led them to a weapons testing site populated by soldiers clad in biohazard gear. It was radioactive, and both Holmes and Watson's proximity to it contributed to their individual ailments.

Watson confirms this by testing a sweat-soaked towel carried by Holmes. The results point to what Holmes describes as a genetic alteration — "I'm a mutant," he declares — and the treatments appear to be working by episode's end.

Tragically, as Holmes gets better, Watson gets worse. His tumor is giving him seizures that grow in severity throughout the episode.

Who is Sebastian Moran?

There have been whispers of Sebastian Moran, an acolyte of Holmes and Watson's nemesis Moriarty (Randall Park), throughoutWatson, but it's only in the series finale that the killer actually surfaces. Fans of the Sherlock Holmes canon will be familiar with the character, as he plays a similar role for Moriarty to the one Watson plays for Holmes.

Eddie Izzardplays the loquacious Moran with a slimy charm, and it's a shame we won't get to see more of the character. In this episode, he shoots and kills an oncology nurse in a random attack that's meant to get Watson's attention. Why? Honestly, it's all a bit confusing — and we wouldn't be surprised if this storyline was reworked upon news of the show's cancellation.

Basically, Moran says that he's the one who dropped Holmes off at the clinic. See, he's been holding Holmes hostage and using the detective to help carry out his own nefarious schemes. There's been a "power vacuum" since Moriarty's death, he says, and he's trying to fill it. But Holmes' sickness has made him "not quite so useful," so he needs him patched up and delivered back to him.

His murder of the nurse is followed by threats against Dr. Mary Morstan (Rochelle Aytes), Watson's ex-wife. If Watson's team involves the police, he says, he'll have his cronies kill her.

How is Moran foiled?

Holmes doesn't seem to remember his work for Moran, but he remains familiar with the villain and helps Watson and Shinwell Johnson (Ritchie Coster) in their efforts to find his hideout.

Moran is dyslexic, Holmes explains, and uses the letter "x" as a means of simplifying confusing letter patterns. X being a "safe" letter for Moran, Holmes suggests that he could be hiding out under a fake name that includes multiple x's.

Shinwell finds Moran in a nearby hotel, where he's checked in with the name Alexander Cox. Shinwell, as fans of the series may recall, has a personal vendetta, as he believes Moran murdered William and Nancy Evans, a couple that cared for him like a son. But Moran claims he never killed the Evanses, though he will if Shinwell rats him out.

This puts Shinwell in a tough spot. A former debt collector with a violent past, he's reformed himself in recent years. He even promised his new fiancée, Carlin (Margot Bingham), that he was leaving that part of his life behind. Does he preserve his innocence — or make Moran pay for his sins?

Advertisement

When next we see Shinwell, he's approaching Carlin at the clinic with a sack of Moran's teeth. Yes, he flexed some of his old muscles to force Moran to give up the men monitoring Morstan — and the location of the Evanses. He confesses this to Carlin, but reveals that instead of finishing the job himself, he gave up Moran to the authorities.

"Yeah, I wanted to carry on. Good god, I wanted to carry on. But I didn't," he says. "No one is damaged beyond repair. It's just, I can't lose this..."

She forgives him.

What else happens in theWatsonseries finale?

Dr. Sasha Lubbock (Inga Schlingmann) has spent much of the season being deceived about the identity of her birth mother, sending her into something of a tailspin. While Dr. Ingrid Derian (Eve Harlow) is able to point her in the direction of her real mother, Sasha is still nursing some deep wounds.

It makes sense, then, that she'd choose to be alone in the finale. After Dr. Stephens Croft (Peter Mark Kendall), with whom she's had a tumultuous relationship, tells Sasha he wants to commit and give her the wedding and family of her dreams, she rebuffs him.

"I've been a bit of a fool for a good while now," she says. "I need to change some things. I don't know how I'm supposed to be in the world. I don't know who I am, and if I don't know who I am, how am I supposed to know who to be with? Stephens, I'm happy you know what you want right now, it just shouldn't be with me."

Ingrid, meanwhile, appears to have gotten away with her murder of Beck Wythe (Noah Mills), the man responsible for Sasha's deception. While Det. Lestrade (Rachel Hayward) has doubts that the slaying was in self-defense, as Ingrid claims, she has no hard evidence. The last we see of Ingrid, she's back in group therapy for antisocial personality disorder.

Does Watson die?

Watson is able to save the life of his old mentor, but not before severely endangering his own. After suffering multiple seizures, he's prepped for surgery to address his brain tumor. Before he goes into surgery, his colleagues shed tears as they thank him. There's a good chance he won't survive the operation.

Morstan, his ex-wife, tells him how her "entire world changed" the day she met him. "I am in that operating room with you, John. Every room you walk into ever, I'm there."

Stirred by her words, he wakes and recalls the moment earlier in season 2 when he walked in on her kissing her new boyfriend, Josh (C.J. Lindsey).

"I was there to say I love you," he croaks. "I have this picture of you and me and we're living on Baker Street in London and we're having breakfast but we're not talking because we don't need to talk. We have everything we need."

"You're going to be okay, John," she says. "You have to be because I can't imagine a world without you."

So, does Watson survive the operation? Well, that depends on how you interpret the ending. The title card rises just as the surgery begins, and in a brief epilogue, we're transported to 221B Baker Street in London — the address of Holmes and Watson's residence in Doyle's series.

As rain falls, Watson arrives and checks the mail. Morstan opens the front door to greet him. "You're home early!" she says with a smile. He joins her inside, his "picture" of their lives having come true.

Butdidit come true? Or is it just a nice thought? His idea of heaven? That remains ambiguous.

US military strike on alleged drug boat kills 2 in the Caribbean

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military said it launched another strike on a boat accused of ferrying drugs in the Caribbean Sea, killing two people Monday.

The Trump administration’s campaign of blowing up alleged drug-trafficking vessels in Latin American waters haspersisted since early Septemberand killed at least 188 people in total. Other strikes have taken placein the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Despitethe Iran war, the series ofstrikes have ramped up againin recent weeks, showing that the administration’s aggressive measures to stop what it calls “narcoterrorism” in the Western Hemisphere are not letting up. The military has not provided evidence that any of the vessels were carrying drugs.

The attacks began as the U.S. built up its largest military presence in the region in generations and came months ahead of the raid in January thatcaptured then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He was brought to New York toface drug trafficking chargesand has pleaded not guilty.

In the latest attack Monday, U.S. Southern Command repeated previous statements by saying it had targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes. It posted a video on X showing a boat moving along the water before a massive explosion engulfs the vessel in flames.

President Donald Trump has said the U.S. is in “armed conflict” with cartels in Latin America and hasjustified the attacksas a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the United States and fatal overdoses claiming American lives. But his administration has offered little evidence to support its claims of killing “narcoterrorists.”

Critics, meanwhile, havequestioned the overall legalityof the boat strikes.

Fewer AAPI adults report hate incidents but racism concerns linger, new poll shows

Fewer Asian American and Pacific Islander adults are reporting overt anti-Asian attacks than during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, anew AP-NORC/AAPI Data pollfinds, but many still worry about racial discrimination.

A new poll out Monday, asAAPI Heritage Monthbegins, fromAAPI Dataand TheAssociated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Researchfinds that about one-quarter of AAPI adults have personally experienced a hate crime or incident in the past year, such as verbal harassment or physical assault. That's consistent with a survey conducted last summer, but down from anOctober 2023 pollwhere 36% said they were victims of an act of abuse tied to their race or ethnicity over the prior year.

PreliminaryFBI data also reflects a declineas the pandemic receded into the background. Based on information submitted by law enforcement agencies, anti-Asian hate crimes and bias crimes overall fell between 2024 and 2025.

However, about 3 in 10 AAPI adults in the new survey think it’s “extremely" or "very” likely that they’ll be a victim of discrimination based on their race or ethnicity in the next five years.

“The key is there's been a decline but a stabilization. So, it hasn't declined since last year, ” said Karthick Ramakrishnan, founder and executive director ofAAPI Data. “Both hate crimes and hate incidents are still an issue in our community.”

Racial discrimination and rhetoric amplified in anti-immigrant climate

The poll finds that fewer AAPI adults report experiencing verbal assaults compared to the survey from two years ago.

About 1 in 10 say they have been called a racial or ethnic slur in the past 12 months, down from roughly 2 in 10 in October 2023. Around 15% say they have been verbally harassed or abused by another person in the past year because of their race or ethnicity, down from 23% in 2023.

Advocates report that the tone of the rhetoric has shifted away from COVID-19-related tropes toward anti-immigrant sentiments.

“We're seeing things like ‘Go back to China’ still. But, it's more like ‘ICE is going to deport you,'” said Stephanie Chan, data and research director at Stop AAPI Hate. “The rhetoric that’s being used to justify very harsh and aggressive immigration enforcement, all of this is also feeding into anti-AAPI hate persisting.”

Being made to feel like a foreigner is something Ambar Capoor, 52 and India-born, has encountered even in his diverse Los Angeles neighborhood. Last year, while waiting in line at a restaurant, a white man pushed him unprovoked to get to the front.

Capoor said the man told him: “You don’t belong here. You should go back to your country."

Capoor, who is a naturalized citizen and has lived in the U.S. for 26 years, tries to shrug off these racist interactions.

“None of this stuff normally bothers me,” he said. “If somebody starts an altercation, that I’ll walk away from.”

But Capoor, a Democrat, thinks the divisive political climate has emboldened people to openly say racist things.

Nosheen Hamid, 36 and a stay-at-home mother with a toddler, has lived in Salt Lake City since 2009. In her native Pakistan, her family was considered a minority because of their Catholic faith. In her community in Utah, which is mostly white, she says she gets racially profiled, too.

A couple of months ago, a door-to-door salesman approached her home and seemed surprised she lived there.

“He was like, ‘Are you renting here?’ He asked me a few times and it got to me for just a second,” Hamid said. “People didn't expect me to be in the space that I was, work-wise, school-wise.”

Dealing with discrimination and economic stress

Withinflation and higher gas pricesas the Iran war continues, AAPI adults are much more preoccupied with economic concerns than discrimination. Around 4 in 10 say personal finances are a “major source" of stress. And about 2 in 10 say the same thing about health concerns and relationships with family or friends. In contrast, only about 1 in 10 say discrimination is currently a major source of stress in their lives. Around half don't see discrimination as a source of stress at all.

John Magner, 58, is half white and also of Hawaiian and Chinese ancestry. He says he actually faces more discrimination from Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders around his home of West Jordan, Utah, who don't believe he is part Hawaiian. The state is home to around 60,000 Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, according to U.S. census data.

Last year, a Pacific Islander customer at the hardware store where Magner works called him "cracker and a little wannabe Pacific Islander.”

But he doesn't dwell on those interactions. He is more focused on juggling family expenses, working and getting a master’s degree in counseling.

“I work full-time but we’re struggling,” Magner said. “Inflation and then also some family stuff that's gone on, having to pay medical bills. It's just bills.”

Ramakrishnan, from AAPI Data, also considers whether there is less scapegoating of immigrants of color because people understand that it has no bearing on the current economy.

“The likely reasons for those economic struggles have nothing to do with race or immigration,” he said. “They have to do with other factors, like tariffs, war on foreign policy, AI data centers. Those are all the things that people see that are driving up costs.”

Rise in hate incidents within some Asian groups

Hate crimes and incidents are often underreported, and experts note that some groups under the AAPI umbrella may be experiencing incidents at a higher rate than others.

"If you look at it in the longer term, (hate incidents) are still really high compared to what it was like pre-pandemic, Chan said, referring to the FBI data.

There has recently been a rise in incidents among South Asians, according to FBI data and Stop AAPI Hate. The largest spikes tend to occur “in moments of South Asian visibility,” such as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s election, Chan said.

Between the current political climate and being Indian, Capoor has been carrying his U.S. passport card on a lanyard for the past six months.

“After seeing all the reports of actual white folk getting arrested and thrown into camps and taking them like three days to get out of it,” Capoor said. “I don’t have friends in high places. I don’t have the correct skin color.”

The poll of 1,228 U.S. adults who are Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders was conducted March 23-30, using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based Amplify AAPI Panel, designed to be representative of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

This poll is part of an ongoing project exploring the views of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, which are usually not highlighted in other surveys because of small sample sizes and lack of linguistic representation.

Lopez has long been a defining presence at the Met Gala. Since making her debut in 2004, she has attended the event more than a dozen times, building a reputation for dramatic, body-conscious looks that often lean into embellishment, sheer elements, and bold silhouettes.

Her past appearances have included a fiery Gucci gown with intricate detailing, a cut-out Ralph Lauren design, and multiple other statement pieces that are among the event’s most memorable fashion moments.

Her broader red carpet style continues to evolve alongside her performance career. Earlier this year, Lopez closed out her Las Vegas residency and made her Coachella debut, where sheperformedher new collaboration “Save Me Tonight” with David Guetta.

Reflecting on the emotional connection of dance music, she toldSiriusXM, “It’s not electronic dance music—it’s emotional dance music to me.” She added, “We’re all in our phones all the time, and we’re so lonely. And when music can bring people together like that…it really is ‘save me tonight.’”

'SNL' cold open skewers 'incompetent' Kash Patel, Aziz Ansari stars

Surprise!Aziz Ansariis live from New York asFBI Director Kash Patel.

"Saturday Night Live" returned after a brief hiatus on May 2 and, in its cold open, featured the "Parks and Recreation" alum debuting an impression of Patel. The sketch took place at a press conference, whereColin Jost's Pete Hegsethintroduced Patel as someone who wanted to "say hello before he's almost certainly fired."

After taking the podium, Ansari's Patel addressed the security incident at last week's White House Correspondents' Association dinner, where a suspect,Cole Tomas Allen, attempting to assassinatePresident Donald Trump.Prosecutors say that Allentried to storm the dinner − whereVice President JD Vanceand others from the administration were also in attendance − with multiple guns and knives, intending to kill high-ranking officials.

"Now, after the attempted assassination ofPresident Trump− another one! − we conducted an investigation that could not have been more thorough," Ansari as Patel said. "We dotted every 'T' and bulged every eye. And for those of you saying I'm doing a bad job running the FBI, well, what if I told you this agency is only six weeks away from pinpointing the exact location of Osama Bin Laden?"

Ansari's Patel went on to declare he is a "trailblazer" as the "first Indian person to suck at their job," proving that "we can be just as incapable and incompetent as the whites." As he took questions, he insisted he is not worried about being fired. "Even the Correspondents' dinner shooter said kill everyone but Mr. Patel. You get a shoutout like that in a psycho's manifesto, you must be doing something right."

The rest of the cold open centered on Jost as Hegseth giving an update on the war with Iran. After entering with a comically large drink, he told reporters, "This war has been a movie − specifically, 'The NeverEnding Story.'" The sketch briefly acknowledged the recent drama surroundingJimmy Kimmel, who Trump has demanded be fired from his late-night ABC show for jokingly calling first ladyMelania Trumpan "expectant widow."

"I wear my religion on my sleeve − literally, I have a tattoo on my forearm of Jesus choking out Jimmy Kimmel," Jost as Hegseth said.
