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.

After a wet and windy start to the work week, our weather will be trending toward a drier than normal pattern.

It will be another warm and muggy start to the day, but our skies will be sunny with a few high thin cirrus clouds drifting overhead. Temperatures will be quick to warm as they climb from the upper 70s to the middle 90s during the afternoon.

High pressure will continue to flex its muscle across the Florida Peninsula, thus bringing a more stable atmosphere overhead. We'll see the chance for an isolated shower or storm during the peak heating of the day along the sea breeze as it begins to work its way inland, however many of us will stay hot and dry under partly sunny skies.

Tonight, skies remain mostly clear with lows settling into the middle to upper 70s.

Our hot and mainly dry weather pattern will hold through the holiday weekend with sunny starts and a few spotty showers during the afternoon, while temperatures range from the low to mid 90s.

WOUNDED WARRIORS-PKG

It is a very sobering thought, but there are more military veterans, injured in battle, competing in these Paralympics, than there have been for years. And if it weren't for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, people like Jon Allen Butterworth may have had very different lives.

AND EACH HAS A REMARKABLE STORY OF SURVIVAL.

DEREK DERENALAGI, NOW A GOLD HOPEFUL IN THE DISCUS, HAD HIS LEGS BLOWN OFF IN AFGHANISTAN. HE SAYS HE WAS BEING ZIPPED INTO A BODY BAG, WHEN ARMY MEDICS NOTICED HE STILL HAD A PULSE.

SAMANTHA BOWMEN, A ROYAL ARTILLERY GUNNER, WAS SO BADLY INJURED IN IRAQ SHE SAYS HER COMRADES COULDN'T RECOGNIZE HER. NOW SHE'S A KEY MEMBER OF BRITAIN'S PARALYMPIC SITTING VOLLEY BALL TEAM.

CAPTAIN NICK BEIGHTON LOST HIS LEGS IN AFGHANISTAN, AND IS HOPING FOR A MEDAL IN ROWING.

FORMER GURKHA SOLDIER, NETRA RANA, WAS INJURED IN AFGHANISTAN TOO - SPORT, HE SAYS, HAS RESTORED HIS SELF RESPECT.

THESE ARE NOT ATHLETES GIVEN TO REGRET.

It's probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. I've met new people. I've tried a few things out, different sports. Done loads of things that I never did before. It's kind of made me the person I am today. And I have changed since loosing my arm, but I think only for the better.

seemed unusual or out of place but I really don't remember it that way. My

friends cared more about what sports teams we followed than what church we

went to

anything, but chose to raise the children.

ROMNEY SOT: And as America saw Tuesday night, Ann would have succeeded at

anything she wanted to

And this morning, no one is apologizing for the convention's mystery guest.

Who delivered somewhat of a mysterious performance.

audience President Obama was sitting in it. an invisible President.

With blistering critique what some considered a vulgar joke:

EASTWOOD SOT: What? What do you want me to tell Romney? I can't tell him

to do that, he can't do that to himself You're absolutely

APPLE RECYCLING PROGRAM-INTRO

A NEW APPLE RECYCLING PROGRAM HAS QUIETLY APPEARED ON THEIR WEBSTORE, OFFERING TO BUY UP OLD IPHONES FOR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN CREDIT.

ITS AN UPDATE TO A STORY WE BROUGHT YOU THURSDAY.

APPLE RECYCLING PROGRAM-PKG

Can you get $345 worth of Apple store credit for a year-old iPhone? The

answer is yes. There was always a trade-in deal to be had, even on

Craigslist, but now you can swap your old iPhone or Mac or iPad into Apple

directly and get an Apple credit.

"It's very common for third parties, there's even kiosks in malls now that

do that. But I haven't seen this from Apple before. It does suggest that an

iPhone is coming and of course we know one is coming," said CNET Senior

managing editor Kent German. "Certainly Apple is trying to get people to buy

the new phone and getting them up for that."

An announcement about an iPhone5 is widely anticipated on Sept. 12 with the

phones getting shipped by the 21st. This new recycle program has iPhone

users answering a few questions online about their iPhone and whether it's

got a cracked screen or moderate scuffs. Then an estimate of a trade in

credit is immediately generated.

But you can't turn in the used phones at the store. They have to be shipped

in and if you exaggerated what great condition your phone's in when it

really got dropped in a lake, then you might get less than promised online.

Most devoted Apple fans seem intrigued by the Apple offer and they kind of

understand why.

"There are so many third party providers, it's quite likely, and Apple wants

to partake in that as well. That doesn't surprise me. I think it's a good

incentive to turn your phones directly back into Apple and that's actually

something I'd be more inclined to do with an old phone," said Lauren Esparza

, an iPhone user.

"Keep people like me from lagging behind. I'm perfectly happy, but they want

people to ramp up to their newest and better things," said Bill Lee, an
