Forecasters are warning of another day of heightened risk of dangerous tornadoes in the Midwest on and are telling people in South Texas they may experience triple-digit temperatures — and that's with four weeks to go before summer starts. Excessive heat, especially for May, is the danger in South Texas, where the heat index is forecast to approach near 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) during the weekend. The region is on the north end of a heat dome that stretches from Mexico to South America. That is according to National Weather Service meteorologist Zack Taylor. Sunday could be even hotter, with record-setting highs for late May forecast for Austin, Brownsville, Dallas and San Antonio.

Sean Baker’s “Anora,” a comic but devastating Brooklyn odyssey about a sex worker who marries the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch, has won the Cannes Film Festival’s top award, the Palme d’Or. Coralie Fargeat’s body horror film “The Substance,” starring Demi Moore as a Hollywood star who goes to gory extremes to remain youthful, won best screenplay Saturday. Best actress went to an ensemble of actors: Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez and Adriana Paz for Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Perez,” a Spanish-language musical about a Mexican drug lord who transitions to a woman.
