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.
Another nice day is in store for Southwest Florida with more sunshine, slightly lower humidity, and low rain chances in our forecast
A layer of dry, stable air will continue to settle over Southwest Florida through the day, keeping shower chances at a minimum and sunshine at a maximum. Some thin high clouds may stream overhead to dim the sunlight at times, but overall today will be quite sunny.
Another bonus from the drier air is our humidity levels will stay slightly lower during the heat of the day, so the air should feel a littler more comfortable and not quite as muggy.
It's still going to be a rather warm day, however. Temperatures will start pleasantly in the low 70s early this morning and then quickly climb into the mid to upper 80s by midday. During the middle of the afternoon, our temperatures will peak around 90 before settling back in the 80s this evening and then the low 70s overnight.
Moisture will slowly but surely start building back into Southwest Florida through the course of the week, so we'll mention just a few late day showers Tuesday afternoon and a few more showers and storms Wednesday.
For the second half of the week, rain chances will be around 50/50 with the prime time for rain coming in the afternoon and evening. Otherwise, look for a mix of sun and clouds through the week with highs close to 90 and lows in the low to mid 70s.

Return to index of stories...
It appears it was an unintentional act but police say a handgun found
inside the bag of a flight attendant at Philadelphia International Airport
turned into a big deal this morning.
Especially when the gun went off!
why would a flight attendant bring a gun, why would she carry a gun, i don't
know
Action News has confirmed Republic Airlines flight attendant Jaclyn Luby
seen in this picture from her Facebook page was carrying a.38 caliber smith
and wesson revolver similar to this one in her carry on.
She was making her way through security at terminal c around 630 this
morning to work a flight to Denver when TSA spotted the weapon in the Xray
machine.
Republic Airlines operates flights for US Airways which told Action News
Luby was immediately taken into another room.
A Philadelphia police officer was trying to unload the.38 when it
accidentally fired a round into the wall!
Investigators say Luby said she forgot the gun was in her bag.
you would expect she would be more viligant about the fact she travels so
much that it should be second nature to her to basically check it out and
check her bags out before coming to the airport
Investigators say Luby who's from West Goshen Township, Chester County had a
valid concealed weapons permit.
She was charged with a summary offense of disorderly conduct and released.
We've learned Luby has been a flight attendant for Republic Airlines for
more than five years.
we are human and everybody does make mistakes and i understand that even
though she's a seasoned veteran she needs to be careful and i'm sure it will
be a great learning opporunity for her\\\does she need to be reprimanded
for it, i think that will be between her and her boss

Suggested Questions:
1 How is UTEACH different from any other model, and what is it about the program that keeps the teacher retention so high?
2 What are the challenges attracting minorities who are underrepresented in math and science, and how is this being addressed by UTEACH?
4 Our science and math rankings are some of the poorest amongst other developed countries. What needs to be done to address this problem and how is UTEACH helping?
5 Why is NBC so committed to education, why focus on this particular subject as opposed to health or the environment, for instance?

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.
Another nice day is in store for Southwest Florida with more sunshine, slightly lower humidity, and low rain chances in our forecast
A layer of dry, stable air will continue to settle over Southwest Florida through the day, keeping shower chances at a minimum and sunshine at a maximum. Some thin high clouds may stream overhead to dim the sunlight at times, but overall today will be quite sunny.
Another bonus from the drier air is our humidity levels will stay slightly lower during the heat of the day, so the air should feel a littler more comfortable and not quite as muggy.
It's still going to be a rather warm day, however. Temperatures will start pleasantly in the low 70s early this morning and then quickly climb into the mid to upper 80s by midday. During the middle of the afternoon, our temperatures will peak around 90 before settling back in the 80s this evening and then the low 70s overnight.
Moisture will slowly but surely start building back into Southwest Florida through the course of the week, so we'll mention just a few late day showers Tuesday afternoon and a few more showers and storms Wednesday.
For the second half of the week, rain chances will be around 50/50 with the prime time for rain coming in the afternoon and evening. Otherwise, look for a mix of sun and clouds through the week with highs close to 90 and lows in the low to mid 70s.

THE FATHER. UNTIL THE BOY GREW UP AND THE RESEMBLANCE TO
SCHWARZENNEGER WAS SO STRONG, QUOTE: "I REALIZED THERE WAS LITTLE DOUBT
THAT HE WAS MY SON."
ALL THE WHILE, HE WATCHED AS SHRIVER DEFENDED HIM FROM ALLEGATIONS OF
INFIDELITY.
SOT - SHRIVER ON OPRAH: I am my own woman. I have not been, quote, "bred,"
to look the other way.

COMPARTMENT AND LOCKED IT UP WHERE I DIDN'T DEAL WITH IT EVERY DAY," HE
WRITES.
