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.

"Some tweaks to Tuesday's weather"

After a pretty quiet and sunny Labor Day weekend, we'll get your Tuesday going with more sunshine along with warm and humid conditions. We do expect a couple subtle changes in today's weather compared to what we had over the last few days.

First, rain chances get a little nudge from a disturbance over Southeast Florida that will usher in some additional moisture and make the atmosphere slightly more unstable. This should only translate into a few more afternoon and evening storms for us, most of which will develop inland. However, it's possible we could see some of this activity drift back toward the coast this evening or tonight, but coverage will stay pretty isolated.

The other change we'll observe today is a shift in wind direction, signaling a weather pattern change that will remain locked in place through the remainder of the week.

Instead of our wind flowing out of the northeast for most of the day, an onshore flow will set up this afternoon, and this will become even more pronounced Wednesday. The southwesterly flow will introduce the possibility of a few morning showers near the coast tomorrow morning, and the door will stay open for some spotty morning rain over the next several days. The chance for a few isolated storms will then continue for the urban corridor through the early afternoon before most of the rain gets carried inland later in the day.

Another change we'll start to notice with the gulf breeze developing is temperatures won't be quite as warm for the second half of the week, so look for highs in the upper 80s to low 90s starting Wednesday, and this trend should continue through the upcoming weekend as well.

Also coming this weekend is another little boost in our rain chances as more moisture builds in from the northwest. This, combined with the onshore flow, will keep the morning and afternoon shower threat going with the rain covering a littler more ground.

JIMMIE SUE WAS BORN WITH ONLY ONE KIDNEY WHICH HAS TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR.

SHE IS PREPARED TO RECEIVE DIALYSIS AND IS AWARE THAT IT MIGHT BE TOUGH TO FIND A MATCH.

"I try not to think of it, but I can't help it."

BUT THE CALLS FROM INTERESTED PEOPLE KEEP ON COMING.

A SPOKESMAN FOR ONE ORGAN PROCUREMENT GROUP SAYS THERE ARE SOME THINGS POTENTIAL DONORS NEED TO KNOW.

"They need to fully understand it is truly an operation. With any operation, there are risks."

MEDICARE OR THE TRANSPLANT RECIPIENT'S INSURANCE WILL COVER THE COST OF THE SURGERY.

"However, there are other costs that are not -- such as travel, lodging, daycare for children, out of time from work expenses."

THE SWILLINGS HAVE TURNED DOWN OFFERS OF MONEY.

THEY SAY THEY JUST WANT A KIDNEY AND MORE TIME TOGETHER.

"I love her more now than I believe when I married her because we're not two. We're one."

"I picked her up and she felt like she was on fire, I took her temperature and she had a 106.1"

SO HER PARENTS TOOK HER TO THE DOCTORS OFFICE…

"She had a couple of mosquito bites on her face, so we thought when we were in there, maybe she has west nile virus."

AND IT TURNS OUT… SHE TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE ILLNESS CARRIED BY MOSQUITOS… EXCEPT* THAT'S NOT WHAT MADE HER SICK, WHAT CAUSED HER FEVER.

DOCTORS TOLD HER PARENTS SHE HAD HAD THE WEST NILE VIRUS AT SOME POINT… BUT THIS FEVER WAS A RESULT OF A DIFFERENT VIRUS.

"So we found out that even though she didn't currently have the virus, she had had it at some point in the past."

"it was kind of shocking to know she had had it and had gotten through it."

WHERE SHE GOT IT, OR WHEN… HER PARENTS DON'T KNOW.

"We expected for us to have realized she was sick at some point, but never had any symptoms and hasn't been sick since last winter."

EARLY FLU SHOTS-PKG

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --

ALTHOUGH FLU SEASON TRADITIONALLY LASTS FROM OCTOBER TO MAY, MOST CLINICS GET THEIR SUPPLIES BY EARLY SEPTEMBER AND HAVE THE VACCINES READY FOR PATIENTS BY THE END OF THE MONTH.

BUT THIS YEAR, THE VACCINES ARE ALREADY OUT AND MANY PEOPLE ARE ASKING, IF I GET A FLU SHOT THIS EARLY, WILL I BE PROTECTED THE WHOLE SEASON?

ACCORDING TO THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL THE ANSWER IS YES. THE VACCINE WILL GIVE YOU FULL COVERAGE FOR THE ENTIRE FLU SEASON. IN FACT, THE CDC RECOMMENDS THAT PEOPLE GET THEIR SHOTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE THE FLU VIRUS CAN'T READ A CALENDAR, AND THIS YEAR, THERE COULD BE EARLY OUTBREAKS, SO WHY NOT BE PROTECTED?

THE CDC SUGGESTS THAT EVERYONE SIX MONTHS OF AGE AND OLDER GET A YEARLY VACCINE. AS OF NOW, THERE IS VERY LITTLE SEASONAL FLU GOING AROUND, BUT HEALTH EXPERTS SAY, YOU CAN NEVER TELL WHEN THE FLU WILL HIT. BETTER TO BE PREPARED.
