FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

FORECAST-WXWALL

Saturday turned out to be just as expected, mostly to partly sunny and dry in Southwest Florida. The only rain that showed on Doppler Radar was between Lake Okeechobee and the Atlantic side of southern Florida.

Things change for Sunday, however. The cool front that we have been tracking for a few days will move down the Florida Peninsula, then stall over southern Florida. The rain chance goes up to 30% for Sunday with a high near 90º.

As the front stalls, more scattered showers will run along the front, courtesy of the tropical wave in the Gulf of Mexico. Monday and Tuesday have even higher rain chances, about 40%, before the front pushes through and weakens.

Starting Wednesday, you can expect slightly lower humidity levels, which will be noticeable especially at night. In some of the deep inland cool spots, low temperatures could get down to near 70º.

That might not be quite cool enough to pop open the windows and turn off the air conditioning, but it'll be a gentle reminder that Autumn is only two weeks away!

CONTAMINATED TATTOO INK-ONCAM

IF YOU'RE INTO GETTING "INKED", WE HAVE A STORY YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT.

AT LEAST FIVE CASES OF SKIN INFECTIONS HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN WASHINGTON STATE AS A RESULT OF CONTAMINATED TATTOO INK.

CONTAMINATED TATTOO INK-PKG

INK.

"It's a lot of ink. every color you could possibly think of."

IT'S A KEY INGREDIENT. FOR TURNING THIS.

"It just gives the public something to look at."

.INTO WEARABLE ART

".part of a traditional Japanese dragon sleeve."

FOR THIS METICULOUS WORK, THEY NEED A METICULOUS SHOP.

"It's just so second nature to me now."

DISINFECTING, MAKING IT CLEAN. IT'S PART OF THE ROUTINE.

"The chair, the table, everything."

THAT'S WHY SOME RECENT NEWS WAS HARD TO TAKE.

"So we call it atypical micro bacteria."

WASHINGTON WAS AMONG A HANDFUL OF STATES THAT HAD REPORTS OF IT.

AND INSIDE THIS DERMATOLOGY CLINIC, DR. ANDREA KALUS ENCOUNTERED ONE CASE.

"But it had been more than a month after she got the tattoo that she started getting the rash."

THE ITCH, THE STING, WAS TRACED BACK TO ONE THING.

"Probably was contracted through the ink."

IT TURNS OUT, LOCALLY, THERE WERE FIVE REPORTED INFECTIONS, LIKELY INK-RELATED.

"Weird. that's so weird."

NONE OF THE INFECTIONS WERE TRACED BACK TO THIS SHOP. AND HEALTH OFFICIALS MADE IT CLEAR, THE TATTOO ARTISTS DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE INK.

"Well it kind of made me mad."

THE INK HAS BEEN PULLED OFF SHELVES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND IN SEATTLE, THEY'RE KEEPING IT ALL IN PERSPECTIVE.

"Five cases really. that's not a lot. Yeah, that's really not a lot considering how much ink we use in a day."

SO THEIR ROUTINE.

"Safe and clean."
