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.

FANTASTIC WEEKEND AHEAD

As expected we saw more sunshine than yesterday. That's going to translate into a pretty great weekend, too!

The old frontal boundary we've been talking about is finally fading away. It's been meandering around south Florida, the Gulf, and part of the south central U.S. It was the focus for our weather for many days, and it kept the moisture locked in place. Consequently, we saw a lot of clouds and periods of rain.

The weather conditions are improving as a result of the front falling apart.

This weekend looks just fine to be outdoors. Even more sunshine will be available! Our winds are going to be light and from the east. When our winds are from the east and the sea breeze begins - the east wind will pin the sea breeze along the urban corridor. We expect that to happen during the afternoon hours, and that will be the area our storms are concentrated.

Will it be a washout? No, but you will definitely see some heavy rain and hear a rumble of thunder during the late afternoon. It will not hinder any of your plans.

Winds start coming from the south early next week. Monday will be the day of transition, too. Winds from the south-southwest spell out morning showers and interior afternoon storms. This will begin Monday and last through midweek. Simply put - keep the umbrella at hand.

Temperatures will be right around our average this week! Lower 90s are in the forecast.

DIABETES EPIDEMIC-ONCAM

TYPE 2 DIABETES… KNOWN AS ADULT ONSET DIABETES HAS A NEW TARGET- OUR KIDS!

THIS TYPE OF DIABETES, KNOWN TO BE CAUSED BY OBESITY, IS SKYROCKETING IN PEOPLE UNDER TWENTY.

AND THE MORE TERRIFYING FACT, IT PROGRESSES FASTER AND IS HARDER TO TREAT, THE YOUNGER YOU ARE.

DIABETES EPIDEMIC-PKG

THEY DO IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN! SOMETIMES, 10 TIMES A DAY…

TRAHNEL MAYS HAS BEEN LIVING WITH TYPE-TWO DIABETES SINCE SHE WAS 13. SHE'S PART OF AN ALARMING, GROWING, DANGEROUS TREND.

"Ten to 20 years ago, this was unheard of. When we had a child with diabetes that child had type one."

IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, TYPE TWO DIABETES IN CHILDREN HAS DOUBLED! COLUMBIA UNVERSITY'S DOCTOR ROBIN GOLAND SAYS HER YOUNGEST PATIENT IS NOW JUST EIGHT YEARS OLD.

"That's what we're seeing are these very overweight children, teens and young adults getting what used to be an adult form of diabetes."

TYPE 2 DIABETES BEGINS WHEN THE BODY DEVELOPS A RESISTANCE TO INSULIN. WHEN THE NEED FOR INSULIN RISES, THE PANCREAS GRADUALLY LOSES ITS ABILITY TO REGULATE BLOOD SUGAR.

AN N-I -H STUDY FOUND THAT HALF OF ALL NEWLY DIAGNOSED TEENS FAILED TO MAINTAIN STABLE BLOOD SUGAR. ONE IN FIVE SUFFERED SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS AS A RESULT.

"The first kids with type two diabetes had worse cholesterol and triglycerides than these older men and women who were already having heart attacks."

A COLLEGE PROFESSOR IS UNDER FIRE AFTER BREASTFEEDING HER CHILD IN FRONT OF HER STUDENTS.

I think what's inappropriate is that she brought her child to class in the first place. It's very distracting to a lot of the students.

BREASTFEEDING PROFESSOR-ONCAM

DID A PROFESSOR GO TOO FAR WHEN SHE BREAST-FED HER BABY IN FRONT OF HER CLASS?

BREASTFEEDING PROFESSOR-PKG

The first week of classes at American University, and assistant professor

and busy single mom Adrienne Pine woke up to a one year old daughter with a

fever. Her day care-not an option.

With no emergency sitters on hand, and not wanting to cancel her first

lecture, she brought her infant to work.

SOT ADRIENNE PINE

It wasn't the ideal option but the fact is there were no ideal options and

it was the best of the options available to me

Her baby Lee was fine -- at first. But then she started to fuss and Pine did

what she always does -- at home, on buses, at restaurants: Breast-fed her.

And she continued with her class while she did it.

SOT PINE

People seemed largely charmed, you know by the humanity that I think

children can bring to a workplace environment, without necessarily

detracting from the seriousness

GFX

then she learned of this tweet from one of the students --

Sex, gender, and culture professor, total feminist, walks in with her baby,

midway through class breast feeding time #wtf

And when the school paper got wind of the story, the campus started buzzing

-- offending some students.

MOS SARAH MILES

I think what's inappropriate is that she brought her child to class in the

first place. It's very distracting to a lot of the students.

And others were not --

SOT NIA MCCARTHY

She let us know that she was about to do it, so I wasn't too surprised. I

think she handled it in the most professional way that she could.

SOT MELISSA LAWRENCE, CLOUDMOM

I think that in a situation like this, which is unique and again she wasn't

making a habit of it, we really need to cut her some slack

Pine says she wasn't trying to start a revolution, she was just attempting

to manage, like so many moms do, an untenable situation.

SOT PINE

I'm surprised at the hostility that is clearly aimed at women in the

workplace and women who breast-fed in the workplace in particular

She's hoping, at least, her actions will spark not just controversy, but a

deeper discussion about how wrenching these childcare struggles can be.

especially for people with no cushion.

SOT PINE

can we set up a sort of collective childcare system so that not every single

woman in the workplace is facing these issues as an individual but rather,

THE CHRISTIANS AMOUNT TO 35-PERCENT OF THE POPULATION IN LEBANON, THE BIGGEST CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY IN THE AREA.

ALTHOUGH ALL EYES AND EARS WILL BE FOR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY FOR HIS GOAL FOR PEACE IN SYRIA.

THE ROYAL COUPLE WILL BE TAKING THIS LEGAL ACTION UNDER FRENCH PRIVACY LAW. THESE LAWS ARE PRETTY TOUGH, AND IT DOES APPEAR THAT THE PUBLICATION OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHS WAS IN BREACH OF THAT LAW.

BUT THE MAXIMUM FINE, ABOUT 60-THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND RECENT CASES HAVE BEEN FAR LESS THAN THAT.

SO THE MAGAZINE MAY BE CALCULATING THAT THEY STAND TO BENEFIT FAR MORE FROM THE INCREASE IN CIRCULATION AND THE HIGHER PROFILE THAN ANY PENALTY THAT IS EVENTUALLY IMPOSED ON THEM.
