ROBERT WX OPEN-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.

RAIN CHANCES INCREASING

The vast majority of storms have been east I-75 this week. That's going to soon change and we'll all be in the mix come this weekend.

There's an area of low pressure stationed atop Cuba. It's essentially robbing us of moisture which limits our thunderstorm coverage.

It's heading westbound, and once it's out we'll see the air become more conducive for widespread rain. This will happen Thursday into Friday.

Yes, the upper atmosphere is a little dry as I previously mentioned, but the surface isn't. The humidity is oppressive, and it's not going anywhere. High temperatures will continue to be in the low to mid 90s and with high humidity values it'll feel over 100.

Wednesday will be partly sunny with stray storms firing right along I-75 and pushing inland by the evening.

Thursday will still be partly sunny with very isolated storms around the region.

Friday going into the weekend our winds will shift from the southwest to the southeast which will pin the sea breeze along the urban corrider. Scattered storms are expected, so be ready!

If you're hitting the waters expect winds from the southwest at 10 knots, seas 2 feet, and inland waterways will have a light chop.

FMB SAND FILLING IN-VO

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A MONTH CAN MAKE.

PROPERTY OWNERS AND HOTELS ON FORT MYERS BEACH ARE RELIEVED. SOME OF THE SAND HAS RETURNED,

LAST MONTH -- TROPICAL STORM DEBBIE WASHED AWAY PART OF THE SHORELINE. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE NEAR THE LEONARDO ARMS CONDOS.

BUT NEW PICTURES TODAY -- SHOW MUCH OF THE SAND FILLED IN NATURALLY.

FMB SAND FILLING IN-PKG

I don't know what to think of it, just a part of nature I guess

THE COASTLINE ALONG SOUTHERN FORT MYERS BEACH CHANGES EVERYDAY--

Nats waves

REVEALING A NEW SANDBAR. OR KNEE-DEEP WATER, LIKE CHRIS ANDERSON'S FAMILY TRUDGED THROUGH.

it's changed within 48 hours from a little stream to a lagoon

WHERE TROPICAL STORM DEBBY HAD WASHED AWAY SAND--TIDES, NATURALLY, PUT SOME OF IT BACK.

Nats keith 2030 before debby they would have been in waste deep water.

THE TOWN'S ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST KEITH LAAKKONEN SAYS THAT'S GOOD FOR LEONARDO ARMS CONDO OWNERS, RELYING ON SAND BAGS DURING DEBBY.

maybe helpful, because it didn't destroy property, but gave the coastal system a reset and sometimes the coast needs a reset

AND NEW INLETS COULD BECOME HOME FOR ENDANGERED BIRDS, LOOKING TO NEST.

Nats beach

BUT THE SANDBAGS AREN'T BUDGING.

we don't know what's going to happen here long term because things are changing so much

scientists say this part of Fort Myers Beach changes more than any other part of the island's coast, and because it doesn't have public access and changes so frequently, it does not qualify for federal funding to renourish it

ANOTHER STORM COULD ONCE AGAIN BRING WAVES DANGEROUSLY CLOSE, AND NEW BARRIERS TO CROSS--

we were determined, we were going to get there

LEAVING PEOPLE LIVING AT THESE SOUTH FORT MYERS BEACH CONDOS HOPING THE FAVORABLE TIDE, LASTS.

KARATE FANS HOPE THE SPORT COULD BE PART OF THE OLYMPICS AS SOON AS THE YEAR 20-20.

A PAIR OF KARATE STUDENTS FROM CAPE CORAL ALREADY HAVE SOME IMPRESSIVE MEDALS IN THEIR POSSESSION.

DISABLED KARATE CHAMPIONS-PKG-BNR

TWENTY PUSHUPS ON YOUR KNUCKLES. THOSE ARE HARD.

TWENTY PUSHUPS ON YOUR KNUCKLES WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE ONE ARM. THOSE ARE INCREDIBLY HARD.

BUT IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE KOBAYASHI DOJO IN CAPE CORAL FOR TYLER OLSON. WHO'S RISING UP THE RANKS IN KARATE.

I want to do this and get to a black belt. And I enjoy it very much.

THE 22-YEAR-OLD LOST HIS RIGHT ARM IN A DOG ACCIDENT JUST MONTHS AFTER HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY.

BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP HIM FROM STRIKING GOLD TWICE AT THIS MONTH'S NATIONAL KARATE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN FORT LAUDERDALE THIS MONTH: ONE IN THE DISABLED DIVISION. ONE IN THE REGULAR.

I was just really psyched that day.

one of Tyler's two gold medals came in Kumite, which is essentially sparring with your hands and feet. Imagine what it's like to compete with one arm when all your competitors have two in that difficult event.

just gotta move fast!

WHILE TYLER WAS RACKING UP POINTS IN KUMITE. HIS KOBAYASHI CLASSMATE JUSTIN PADILLA WAS IMPRESSING THE JUDGES IN THE DISABLED KATA DIVISION.

THE 20-YEAR-OLD. WHO'S BATTLED EPILEPSY SINCE AGE NINE. EARNED THAT SILVER MEDAL AROUND HIS NECK WITH A PERFORMANCE OF A LIFETIME.

I was amazed. I didn't expect this. When they said silver, and said my points score, I'm like- no way. I did not. I didn't do this.

WHAT MADE THE EVENT EVEN MORE SPECIAL: A LARGE NUMBER OF THE THREE-THOUSAND-PLUS COMPETITORS WERE WATCHING. INCLUDING THE REST OF THE KOBAYASHI CREW AND THEIR PARENTS.

it was very emotional. The moms started crying. We started crying.

BOTH YOUNG MEN HAVE BIG DREAMS.

PADILLA IS IN HIS FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE. AND IS THINKING ABOUT GOING INTO TEACHING SPECIAL EDUCATION.

BOTH WOULD LOVE TO BECOME PARA-LYMPIANS.

BUT RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE JUST ENJOYING THE DREAM THAT ALREADY CAME TRUE AT THE NATIONAL KARATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
