FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

"HOTTER AND DRIER THAN NORMAL"

We're in store for a hotter and drier weather pattern as we round out the work week as a strong ridge of high pressure builds westward from the Atlantic.

Our mornings will start off warm and muggy with temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s. With plenty of sunshine overhead through the afternoon hours, highs will be running a couple of degrees above the norm as most locations will climb into the middle 90s, with our beach and coastal locations nearing the 90° mark. Combine the actual air temperature with the humidity and the "feels like" temperature will feel a lot hotter than what the thermometer is actually reading. In fact, heat index values will soar into the low 100s.

Due to a drier airmass settling across the Florida peninsula, rain prospects will remain slim to none with the mention of only a late afternoon stray shower.

Not much cooling will take place, as temperatures through the evening hours will be slow to fall. Tonight, expect mostly clear conditions with lows in the upper 70s to near 80° along the coast with mid 70s across our inland communities.

KATHERINE JACKSON TEMPORARILY LOSES CUSTODY OF MICHAEL JACKSON'S CHILDREN, AND KRISTEN STEWART APOLOGIZES AFTER AN AFFAIR.

HOLLYWOOD MINUTE-PKG

AN ATTORNEY FOR MICHAEL JACKSON'S MOTHER, KATHERINE, TOLD A JUDGE WEDNESDAY THAT SHE HAS REASON TO BELIEVE KATHERINE JACKSON HAS BEEN HELD AGAINST HER WILL.

THE JUDGE SUSPENDED KATHERINE AS GUARDIAN OF MICHAEL JACKSON'S CHILDREN, AND AWARDED TEMPORARY CUSTODY TO TITO JACKSON'S 34-YEAR-OLD SON, T-J.

KATHERINE JACKSON'S LAWYER SAYS THE GRANDMOTHER HAD NOT BEEN IN TOUCH WITH PARIS, PRINCE OR BLANKET FOR NINE DAYS, AND FINALLY CALLED TUESDAY NIGHT. T-J, WHO WAS LEFT IN CHARGE OF THE CHILDREN, SAID HE WAS DISTURBED BY HOW SHE SOUNDED. AN EARLIER INVESTIGATION BY LOS ANGELES POLICE CONCLUDED JACKSON WAS SAFE IN ARIZONA.

ANOTHER CUSTODY HEARING IS SET FOR NEXT MONTH. THE JUDGE SAID KATHERINE JACKSON COULD BE RE-ESTABLISHED AS GUARDIAN SOONER, IF SHE RETURNS HOME.

"TWILIGHT" STARS KRISTEN STEWART AND ROBERT PATTINSON MAY HAVE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD IN THEIR RUMORED RELATIONSHIP.

ANONYMOUS SOURCES TELL "PEOPLE MAGAZINE" AND "US WEEKLY" THAT STEWART HAD A RECENT FLING WITH RUPERT SANDERS, THE DIRECTOR OF HER LATEST FILM, "SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN."

IN A STATEMENT TO "PEOPLE," STEWART SAID: "I'M DEEPLY SORRY FOR THE HURT AND EMBARRASSMENT I'VE CAUSED TO THOSE CLOSE TO ME.THIS MOMENTARY INDISCRETION HAS JEOPARDIZED THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE, THE PERSON I LOVE AND RESPECT THE MOST, ROB."

SANDERS, WHO'S MARRIED WITH TWO CHILDREN, ALSO ISSUED A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO HIS FAMILY.

SANTA LOOK ALIKE-VO WIPE

IT'S CALLED THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH, BUT ONE MAN CLAIMS DISNEY WORKERS TOLD HIM TO STOP BEING SANTA LIKE.

TOM TOLBERT WORKS AT A GEORGIA SENIOR CARE FACILITY, AND PORTRAYS SANTA CLAUS YEAR-ROUND.

HE ATTRACTED CROWDS OF CHILDREN RECENTLY WHILE WALKING AROUND THE DISNEY PARK.

HE WASN'T WEARING A RED SUIT, BUT DID HAVE ON A CHRISTMAS-THEMED SHIRT.

DISNEY SAYS AN EMPLOYEE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT GUEST SAFETY, AND PULLED TOLBERT ASIDE.

"He said I had to inform anybody that came up to me that I am not who you think I am, I am on vacation, and please get away from me or leave me alone."

DISNEY DENIES MAKING SUCH A STATEMENT.

A DELICIOUS TREAT FOR MANY WON'T BE ON A DINNER PLATE.

DOUBLE DECKER PUSH UP-VO TOPS

HERE'S JUST ANOTHER REMINDER THE OLYMPICS BEGIN TOMORROW HERE ON NBC2.

THIS MAY BE THE MOST UNUSUAL SIGHT GREETING FANS AND ATHLETES IN LONDON.

THIS SIX-TON MODEL OF A DOUBLE DECKER BUS ACTUALLY DOES PUSH-UPS!

WIRING AND A SOUPED UP SUSPENSION SYSTEM HELPS THE BUS FLEX ITS ARMS.

17LB LOBSTER-VO IN TRAFFIC

ITS ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE LOBSTERS EVER CAUGHT.

BUT A CONNECTICUT MAN COULDN'T BEAR TO SEE ITS LIFE END ON THE DINNER PLATE.

SO HE DID WHAT ANY NICE GUY WITH A SOFT HEART WOULD DO.

HE BOUGHT THE CRUSTACEAN AND RELEASED IT BACK INTO THE OCEAN IN A SECRET LOCATION.

17LB LOBSTER-PKG

One-and-a-half pounders.

THE DOCK RESTAURANT IN NIANTIC SELLS A LOT OF GOOD-SIZED LOBSTERS,

BUT ONE LOBSTER REALLY TIPPED THE SCALE.

It's 7-point-2.

ADD ANOTHER 10-POUNDS TO THAT AND YOU'VE GOT "LARRY".

A small dog. He was huge, gave me a good workout this weekend.

Ha, nope. We didn't take him for any walks.

KRISTEN EIGHME WAS LARRY, THE 17-POUND LOBSTER'S NANNY.

I didn't kiss him. I don't kiss and tell.

THERE WASN'T EVEN A KISS GOODBYE. THANKFULLY FOR LARRY GOODBYE DIDN'T MEAN HE BECAME A MEAL.

Yes he was.

DON MACKENZIE, AN ADMITTED LOBSTER-LOVER, TO EAT THAT IS, BECAME LARRY'S SAVIOR. THE "BOATS, INC." V-P BOUGHT THE BIG BOY FOR AN UNDISCLOSED PRICE. HE'LL ONLY SAY HE HAD TO THROW DOWN A FEW BENJAMINS FOR LARRY.

I called the aquarium. They didn't want it, but they told me how to release it.

SO DON, LARRY AND A COUPLE OTHERS WENT FOR A BOAT RIDE TUESDAY.

We found him a nice spot about 25-to-30 feet deep. There are a lot of rocks around there that will hopefully dodge the draggers, he's too big to fit into a lobster pot.

LARRY'S NEW HOME IS ALSO A SECRET FOR HIS OWN PROTECTION. BOTH LARRY AND DON ARE NOW INSPIRATIONS.
