FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

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.

MORE SUN, FEWER SHOWERS

Hopefully you were able to stay dry today, nearly all of us saw rain! As we progress through the week, the rain will be replaced with sun.

The movement of each storm cell was due east as it all glided along a frontal boundary to our north. That boundary is separating muggy air to the south, and dry, fall like weather to the north.

As the front sinks further it'll erode away. That's sad news for us because the nice weather over the southeast will not penetrate our area!

However, by southwest Florida standards the weather will be great.

Here is what's on the docket - lots of sunshine, less in the way of rain, and more in the way of beach time.

There will be a stray shower or two early in the morning, but 90% of the area will be dry. During the afternoon hours we'll see the sea breeze push through and our storms will be concentrated along it. Due to the winds now being from the northeast, the sea breeze will be pinned along the urban corridor. Make sure the windshield wipers are working for the drive home!

Wednesday into the weekend, you'll really see and feel the changes. Temperatures will rebound due to a lot of sunshine. They'll be in the mid 90s, and with humid air in place - it'll feel around 100 degrees! Isolated storms will be in the forecast each afternoon, but they'll be very widely spaced. Rain chances will be around 30% each day.

Boating conditions are improving, too, so it's time to start back hitting the water and catching some rays!

A NEW STUDY SHOWS A MAJOR DISCONNECT BETWEEN MANY YOUNG AMERICANS AND THEIR PARENT'S FINANCES.

ALMOST HALF OF GENERATION Z, THAT'S PEOPLE FROM 13 TO 22 YEARS OLD, EXPECT TO RECEIVE AN INHERTIANCE. THAT DOESN'T EXIST.

ONLY 16 PERCENT OF PARENTS EXPECT TO LEAVE MONEY BEHIND TO THEIR CHILDREN.

CYBER EXERCISING-OC

THE STATS DON'T LIE - AMERICANS FALL SHORT WHEN IT COMES TO PHYSICAL FITNESS.

THE C-D-C REPORTS ONLY 20-PERCENT OF AMERICANS OVER 18 MEET AEROBIC AND STRENGTH-TRAINING GUIDELINES.

CYBER EXERCISING-PKG

IS YOUR WORKOUT ROUTINE DOING ENOUGH?

KINESIOLOGIST BRANDON IRWIN…

…DOESN'T THINK SO.

"We're finding that rarely, people are achieving the levels of duration and intensity."

HIS MISSION-- FIGURE OUT WHAT IT TAKES TO MOTIVATE PEOPLE TO GET BETTER RESULTS.

HE CONDUCTED A STUDY WHERE PARTICIPANTS CONNECTED WITH A CYBER-PARTNER THROUGH A WEB-CAM.

SOMEONE THEY WERE TOLD WAS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THEM PLAYING THIS EXERCISE GAME AND CYCLING. BUT…THAT LIVE FEED WAS REALLY A RECORDING.

"We've made it so that partner would never quit."

WITHOUT THE CYBER-PARTNER PARTICIPANTS RODE THE BIKE AN AVERAGE OF TEN MINUTES. WITH THE CYBER-PARTNER… THEY DOUBLED THEIR RIDING TIME.

"From ten to 20 minutes, that's a pretty significant jump!"

INCREASING WORKOUT TIME AND INTENSITY CAN HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON HEALTH. A STUDY SHOWS HEART PATIENTS WHO WALKED AT TWO MILES PER HOUR FOR 25 MINUTES TWO DAYS A WEEK LOWERED THEIR RISK OF HOSPITALIZATION OR DEATH BY TEN-PERCENT.THOSE WHO WALKED AT TWO AND A HALF MILES FOR 25 MINUTES…FIVE DAYS A WEEK…LOWERED THOSE RISKS BY 25-PERCENT.

MEANWHLE…IRWIN HOPES HIS RESEARCH LEADS TO MORE MOTIVATING EXER-GAMES.AND HE'S EXCITED ABOUT OTHER INNOVATIONS IN THE WORKS.

"Joggobot, which is really cool!"

NATS 911: my friend got arm bitten off

and the gator to come after me

IN JULY, this 11 FOOT GATOR CLAMPED Fred or FRED 17-year-old FRED LANGDALE'S

ARM IN ITS IRON JAWS WHILE he and some friends were SWIMMING IN THIS CANAL

grabbed that I put it on my arm and put my arm between my leg to apply

pressure

HE DID IT SO WELL, HE DIDN'T EVEN NEED A BLOOD TRANSFUSION.

BUT MOST ASTONISHING when GMA caught up with him next days later in his

hospital room. HIS ATTITUDE.

FRED LANGDALE / SURVIVED GATOR ATTACK: I can care less about the arm

SOT: FELINDA LANGDALE/ MOTHER : police told me not to worry he was joking

and laughing

Almost CAVALIER ABOUT THAT ARM, this morning HE HAS A NEW ONE

FITTED LAST WEEK BY TECHNICIANS AT THE HANGAR CLINIC,WITH A PROSTHETHIC limb

that DETECTS MOVEMENT IN FRED'S FOREARM - ALLOWING HIM TO GRAB, GRIP, HOLD,

AND EVEN CLAMP ON SOMETHING AS FRAGILE - AS A CHEETO.

SOT Dan Strzempka Prosthetist, Hanger: wow, never seen anyone pick it up so

quickly in 27 years

TO TEST THAT NEW HAND THE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR VOLUNTEERED TO TAKE us OUT ON

HIS beloved AIRBOAT. HE'S LEARNED TO SET IT UP ONE HANDED WHICH IS ALSO HOW

SO DEMOCRATS WANT A NEW VOTE ON THE PAUL RYAN BUDGET

TO DRIVE HOME TO VOTERS THAT HE WOULD CHANGE MEDICARE.

REPUBLICANS WANT TO A VOTE TO PHASE OUT SOLAR

AND WIND POWER SUBSIDIES

TO DRIVE HOME TO VOTERS THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA LOST A HALF BILLION ON SOLYNDRA.

A FAR BIGGER ISSUE: THE IMPASSE OVER HIKING TAXES ON THE RICH

THAT.IF NOT SETTLED. COULD RAISE EVERYONE'S RATES JANUARY FIRST.
