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.
AFTERNOON DOWNPOURS CONTINUE
Over the next few days we will continue to track lots of sunshine - and - the afternoon round of downpours or thunderstorms in some places. High pressure is building back over Florida and will turn the wind flow around to a general easterly direction. This wind flow, in combination with our afternoon sea breeze, will spell the return of afternoon rain through the weekend. It certainly doesn't look like completely washed-out weather for the next few days, but some places along the I-75 corridor will continue to get wet in the afternoon for several more days.
The long-range forecast calls for a little drier and even 'cooler' weather next week. At this point I think it would be most noticeable in the mornings next week as the humidity drops off and temperatures cool into the 60's. Afternoon weather will still be warm next week, but those morning lows in the 60's might be something you'll want to look forward to …. about a week from today!

HE DOESNT UNDERSTAND WHY HE GOT A TICKET FOR CARELESS DRIVING.
"I thought it was a joke. 6:25 everybody I've talked to about it, they just laugh, they don't believe it."
TWO WEEKS AGO, THE COLLIER COUNTY SCHOOL BUS DRIVER WAS DROPPING HIS LAST STUDENT OFF FOR THE DAY WHEN HE PASSED OUT BEHIND THE WHEEL.
11-YEAR-OLD JACKSON BONAR STEPPED IN AND STEERED THE BUS OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A FENCE.
KELLY WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL--
WHEN HE WOKE UP, HE SAYS A FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL TROOPER HANDED HIM A $163 DOLLAR TICKET.
"It's absolutely absurd, absolutely absurd."
THE CRASH REPORT SHOWS THE TROOPER KNEW KELLY QUOTE "LOST CONCIOUSNESS FOR AN UNKNOWN MEDICAL REASON."
"How that is reckless, what I could have done to been any safer, I don't know but it seems silly to waste the taxpayers money, my money, the courts money."
"He should not be charged in that instance because there would be no way for him to have taken appropriate action to avoid the accident."
NAPLES ATTORNEY DONALD DAY SAYS THE ONLY WAY A TICKET LIKE THIS COULD BE UPHELD-- IS IF KELLY HAD AN EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITION THAT HE IGNORED.
KELLY SAYS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, HE HAD A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH AND HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
EVEN NOW-- DOCTORS STILL CANT FIGURE OUT WHY HE BLACKED OUT.
KELLY SAYS HES NOT RESPONSIBLE, AND WANTS THE TICKET THROWN OUT.
