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.

SCATTERED STORMS THIS WEEK

The weather pattern marches forward with little change for southwest Florida. After looking at the newest computer models this afternoon, it seems like the forecast for tonight and tomorrow will feature the same story as the past few days. A few showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop through sunset with some areas getting a good downpour, gusty winds and lightning. The storms will generally fire up east of the interstate and then drift slowly back to the west after sunset. Mild temperatures and very humid weather continues tonight and through tomorrow morning with a low in the mid/upper 70's on Thursday. Tomorrow's weather will be hot and humid with scattered afternoon and evening downpours and storms.

AVOIDING TURBULENCE-VO IN PLASMA

IT'S THE NIGHTMARE OF EVERY AIR TRAVELER. ROUGH WEATHER TURNS YOUR TRIP INTO

A ROLLER-COASTER RIDE AT 30,000 FEET.

BUT TONIGHT, HELP IS ON THE WAY.

IT'S A NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT ALLOWS MORE PILOTS TO AVOID MORE OF THE TEETH-

ROUGH WEATHER RARELY BRINGS A PLANE DOWN. BUT IT CAUSES A DOZEN SERIOUS

INJURIES AND A HALF BILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGE AND DELAYS A YEAR..THIS FAA

TURBULENCE ANIMATION SHOWS HOW THE UNBELTED CAN ACHIEVE WEIGHTLESSNESS.

NOW, A BREAKTHROUGH. FOR THE FIRST TIME. A NEW 3D RADAR INSTALLED IN

BUSINESS AND SOON FLEETS OF COMMERCIAL JETS. SOUTHWEST ALREADY HAS IT IN

19 PLANES. IT WILL ALLOW PILOTS TO SPOT LIGHTNING, HAIL AND THE BUMPS

FROM MORE THAN 60 MILES AWAY.

Markus Johnson, Chief Test Pilot "What it gives me is the information to

make a better decision sooner."

HONEYWELL, THE MAKERS OF THE NEW RADAR INTENTIONALLY FLEW US INTO ROUGH

WEATHER OVER NORTH CAROLINA.

Chief Engineer Ratan Khatwa "We are directly facing this. I know that there

is hail, there's lightning."

CLOUDS BILLOWING. CABIN SHAKING. TO DEMONSTRATE THE NEW RADAR SCREEN

THAT ACTUALLY IDENTIFIES LIGHTNING CELLS AND HAIL. FLASHING BRIGHT ICONS

PILOTS CANNOT MISS.

Johnson: "So, it allows me to concentrate on deciding where to go to have

the smoothest, safest ride."

AND WHILE LIGHTNING MAY FRIGHTEN PASSENGERS MOST. A HAILSTORM IS WHAT

REALLY CAUSES THE DAMAGE. LOOK AT THIS JET NOSE CONE.

Johnson: "It can tear right through."

BEST TO AVOID THAT. HERE'S TO SMOOTHER FLIGHTS.

"It didn't come out, I was shaking like a leaf"

ELAINE WAS HEADING OUT FOR A MORNING WALK ON BOXWOOD WAY WHEN SHE STOPPED AT THE SIGHT OF A BEAR NOSE-DEEP IN A NEIGHBOR'S GARBAGE CAN.

"he looked a pretty good size"

CRACKERS, NUTS AND SUNFLOWER SEEDS -- ON THE MORNING MENU.

NEIGHBOR PATRICK FISCHER ALSO SAW THE BEAR AND TOOK THIS VIDEO

BOTH BEAR SPOTTERS SAID HE SCAMPERED BACK INTO THE WOODS, NOT INTERESTED IN THE PEOPLE - ONLY THE FOOD.

"he could care less until I got closer and then he decided it was time to leave"

"FWC says it's not unusual for folks in Collier County to see bears because so much of the county is in a wildlife corridor"

"that said, it is a wild animal and obviously in order to maintain your safety, you want to keep a safe distance from the animal"

TO KEEP THE BEARS AWAY FROM HOMES - THE EXPERTS RECOMMEND KEEPING DOG, CAT AND BIRD FOOD INSIDE AND SECURING YOUR TRASH.

AS FOR ELAINE - ONE BEAR SIGHTING IS ENOUGH FOR HER.

"I don't want to see another one, that close anyway"
