I think you get the idea here. Periods of rain, periods of dry weather this week.

Dry air returns to Southwest Florida after the passage of a weak cold front. This means we will end the work week on a really nice note. As for your weekend, it'll be a split decision. Isolated showers are at play for Saturday, and then sunshine steps up to the plate on Sunday.

Temperatures will remain at the 70 degree mark during the overnight hours, and by the afternoon we'll be in the upper 80s.

We still have tropical weather to talk about. Tropical Storm Rafael is still going strong. Max winds are at 70 MPH, so it's knocking on the door hurricane strength. I expect it to become hurricane within the next 24 hours. It will not effect Florida or the U.S. at all. It's moving to the north at a slow 7 MPH.

During the last month of hurricane season our eyes focus on the southern Gulf of Mexico and the entire Caribbean Sea. It's been quiet so far, but we're expecting a slight uptick in activity within the next few weeks. So, don't let your guard down. Hurricane season isn't quite over!

WATCHING BLOOD SUGAR IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

IN TODAYS HEALTH MATTERS,

HEALTH MATTERS-PKG

STAYING ON TOP OF DIABETES CHECKUPS CAN KEEP YOUR DISEASE 'UNCOMPLICATED'

SHARON KRISPINSKY/DIABETES EDUCATOR

RUNS:

:48: The blood sugar, as we know, is an important part of taking care of diabetes, but there's much more to it.

CONSIDER THIS YOUR DIABETES SCORE CARD: AT EVERY CHECK UP PLAN ON DISCUSSING A WEIGHTY ISSUE:

SHARON KRISPINSKY/DIABETES EDUCATOR

RUNS:

1:17: If patients gain weight, their blood sugar generally goes up with Type Two diabetes. Conversely, if you lose weight with Type Two diabetes you may need less diabetes medication.

IF YOU'RE KEEPING SCORE, BLOOD PRESSURE IS ANOTHER THING TO WATCH.

SHARON KRISPINSKY/DIABETES EDUCATOR

RUNS:

1:43: Absolutely the blood pressure should be checked at every physician's appointment. And ideally the blood pressure should be below 130/80.

YOUR DOCTOR SHOULD ALSO GO OVER YOUR GLUCOSE RECORD.

SHARON KRISPINSKY/DIABETES EDUCATOR

RUNS:

2:00: Most of our meters today you can actually download your blood sugar and take your records and graphs to a physician's office.

AMY OSHIER/REPORTING

RUNS:

Every three months expect to take the A1C test. It looks for the amount of residual sugar in your red blood cells. Keeping proper levels delay or prevent serious complications.

SHARON KRISPINSKY/DIABETES EDUCATOR

RUNS:

2:46: A1C test is a very important number for patients with diabetes to know. Ideally the A1C should be below 7% and most endocrinologist like it approximately 6.5%

ONCE A YEAR, EXPECT LIPID TESTING:

SHARON KRISPINSKY/DIABETES EDUCATOR

RUNS:

3:13:With diabetes you're at an increase risk for cardiovascular disease, so one of the lab tests the physicians will be doing annual is lipid profiles. Basically showing the amount of fat in the blood. They're looking at LDL low-density lipid protein and we want those as low as possible.

URINE ALBUMIN AND CREATININE TESTS LOOK AT KIDNEY FUNCTION. AND DON'T FORGET A COMPREHENSIVE FOOT EXAM AND EYE EXAM.

01:33: AMY: Do you find that some people don't really get that message that it's a whole curriculum of care? 1:37: SHARON Yeah it's really an important message we try to educate our patients on, that there is testing that should be done every three months, six months and annually.

SOT: "I made it a policy when I got older and had children to always bring the kids in especially to get their shots because the flu can come up at any time starting now, all the way through march."

Dr. Judith Hartner, Dir. Lee County Health Dept. "It's easy to get a flu shot this year and the CDC is recommending everyone, 2 and over get a flu shot."

JUDITH HARTNER IS THE DIRECTOR THE THE LEE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

SHE SAYS, EVEN HEALTHY PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T TYPICALLY GET A VACCINE IN THE PAST SHOULD GET ONE, NOT NECESSARILY TO HELP THEMSELVES, BUT TO HELP OTHERS.

Fisherman dropped hundreds of crab traps all last week, in anticipation of the first day of harvesting. The fisherman at Kibbe brothers are hoping to yield a good catch. Last year, lee county commercial fisherman caught just under 189,000 pounds of stone crab claws--that's almost half of what was caught in 2010, which was just under 270,000 pounds. what might affect the beginning of the season this year is the red tide looming in the gulf. With more dead fish in the water, the crabs see that as an easy meal instead of going after the bait in the traps. But the waterfront restaurant owner is staying optimistic, saying that he hopes to have stone crab claws on dinner plates tonight.

Our local weather is in a bit of a struggle. Does it transition into the dry season or stay in the rainy season? You can tell we're in the grey area because we'll have two days of nice weather and then two days of gloomy weather.

That type of pattern is very common for this time of the year.

Will we see more of the same this week? Yes, yes we will.

Dry air at all levels of the atmosphere will begin filtering in from the Deep South tonight. This will absolutely squash our rain chances for Tuesday. We'll have a lot of sunshine and comfortable air thanks to low humidity levels. Overall, it'll be a great day!

Of course that is short lived. A surge of energy currently sitting over Texas will move over on Wednesday. That's when we see mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers for another afternoon. Guess what? That, too, is short lived.

Nat of Cheers when capsule was released

It took that capsule with the daredevil known as Fearless Felix aboard two

Nat

Dangling from a 55-story balloon -the 43 year old Austrian peacefully

soared 24 miles above the New Mexico desert---four times higher than most

passenger jets fly.

On the way up. He hears a single voice 84 year old Joe Kittinger

Quick Nat: ok here we go Felix

,/ the only other man who knows what it's like to free fall from more than

100 thousand feet.

135748 JK: "it gets full serious "

With Felix at 128 thousand feet above planet Earth, it's Kittinger who tells

him it's time to open the capsule door.

14:03:10 JK: there it is.the world is out there.

14:03:44

Suddenly Felix's legs are hanging out.

JK: Felix, release your seatbelt.

Felix is slow to respond to some commands. Kittinger is worried. The lack

of pressure may be affecting him.

14:05:08 JK: Do you read me Felix on the communication?

14:05:32 14:05:57

Finally a thumbs up. He disconnects himself from the capsule and put his

hands on the railing.

14:06:15 JK: Our guardian angel will take care of you.

With that, Felix dove.

At first there's silence. Then heavy breathing. The first sign he's even

still alive.

He's plummeting so fast, he's barely a spec on this infrared camera.

FOR 35 secs of the fall, Felix is spinning out of control. Something his

team feared could cause him to lose consciousness.. Then suddenly a

sound.

14:08:30 FB:

FOR A TERROR-INDUCING FOUR MINUTES AND 20 SECONDS HE FREE-FALLS. HIS BODY

PLUMMETING TOWARD THE EARTH AT 833 MILES AN HOUR. BREAKING THE SPEED OF

RO: when you were in that what looked like to me a death spin you must have

been afraid?

FB: I was, if you are in that situation and it spins you around like hell,

and you do not know if you can get out of that spin or not, of course that

is terrifying but I was frightened all the way down

Felix finally managed to regain control and deploy his parachute/ he
