FIRST ALERT 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.

After a day of sunshine and comfortable humidity levels, moisture will return to Southwest Florida on our Wednesday.

Through the mid day hours, clouds will continue to thicken up across the area, keeping our skies mostly cloudy through the afternoon. This will keep our temperatures a bit lower compared to yesterday's high of 89°, while many of us top out in the middle 80s. A few scattered showers are possible as we head into the late afternoon/early evening hours, however the rain will not be widespread and any rain that develops will more than likely come to an end after sunset.

Tonight, clouds will linger across Southwest Florida with a couple of leftover showers as lows settle into the lower 70s by morning.

Thursday will offer more sunshine across the area as the clouds exit to the east and our atmosphere begins to dry out. Expect mostly sunny skies and a mainly dry weather pattern with highs closing in on the upper 80s. Partly sunny skies will continue through our Friday, but with just enough moisture an isolated shower or two can't be ruled out during the afternoon and early evening hours.

MENINGITIS LATEST-PKG

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATORS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION SEARCHED THE NEW ENGLAND COMPOUNDING CENTER IN FRAMINGHAM, MASSACHUSETTS TUESDAY. FEDERAL OFFICIALS SAY MORE ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH DRUGS FROM N-E-C-C, WHICH HAS BEEN LINKED TO A DEADLY MULTISTATE OUTBREAK OF FUNGAL MENINGITIS THAT APPEARS TO BE SPREADING.

MOST OF THE PATIENTS GOT SICK AFTER GETTING STEROID INJECTIONS FOR BACK AND NECK PAIN THAT WERE CONTAMINATED. BUT THE NEWEST INFECTIONS ARE FROM DRUGS USED IN HEART AND EYE SURGERY. DOCTOR JOHN JERNIGAN WITH THE C-D-C SAYS MORE PATIENTS COULD BE AT RISK.

Up to 14-thousand people may have been exposed to one of the three potentially contaminated lots of medication. You may have seen notice that the patient count has gone up in recent days we think this is mainly because we're doing a better job at finding patients.

DOCTOR DONALD WILLIAMSON WITH THE ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH IS TRACKING PATIENTS IN HIS STATE.

Alabama now has 19 residents who received NECC contaminated steroid products. Again, those individuals were not exposed in Alabama. They received injections in Tennessee and Florida.

WE ALL REMEMBER NBC'S TO CATCH A PREDATOR WHEN CHRIS HANSEN WOULD SURPRISE PEOPLE TRYING TO MEET UNDER AGED KIDS FOR SEX.

A TEXAS MOM MONITORING HER TWEENS' FACEBOOK PAGE, STUMBLED ONTO A QUESTIONABLE FRIEND REQUEST.

FOLLOWING HER INSTINCTS, SHE TOOK ON THE ROLE OF HER 12-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, AND TOOK DOWN A SUSPECTED SEXUAL PREDATOR.

MOM CATCHES PREDATOR-PKG

Who is this Freddy Love? And she told me he has been trying to get in contact with her and friend request her."

A HARLINGEN MOM WHOSE IDENTITY WE ARE CONCEALING TO PROTECT HER YOUNG DAUGHTER -- CHECKED HER 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS' FACEBOOK DAILY -- AND WHEN SEARCHING THROUGH FRIEND REQUESTS LAST WEEK -- STUMBLED UPON ONE WITH NO PICTURE CLAIMING TO BE A 20 YEAR OLD UTB MALE STUDENT. MOM ASKED THE MAN HOW HE KNEW THE GIRL -- HIS REPLY -- HE DIDN'T -- BUT WANTED TO GET TO KNOW HER. NOT KNOWING IT WAS HER MOTHER PRETENDING TO BE THE MIDDLE SCHOOLER.

"He could have withdrawn from the situation many times. I gave him many chances to withdraw or to let him know that I was 12 and that my mom was asleep, and basically that he knew it was wrong."

THE WOMAN CLAIMS THINGS GOT INTENSE VERY QUICKLY.

"He was being very explicit about what he wanted done, which is and the positions, and things that a 12 year old has no knowledge of "

AND THEN CAME THE BIGGEST SHOCK OF ALL.

"After he asked me to sneak out, thinking that I was my daughter, that's when I said, I'm going to call the police and let them know."

"Mom went even further by setting up a meeting with the man, then she disguised herself as her daughter. She threw on a wig, a hoodie, and sneakers and set out to bring the alleged online predator down."

"I was going to walk to Walmart, to pick me up at Walmart, to let me know what he was driving. He described a 4-door Ford car, right by where you pump the gas, and he parked like two feet away from me. And he told me that he was Freddie, not to be scared, to get in the car."

MOM OPENED THE CAR DOOR -- AND THAT'S WHEN HARLINGEN POLICE WATCHING NEARBY STEPPED IN TO ARREST ALFREDO HERNANDEZ. WHO IS NOT A 20 YEAR OLD UTB STUDENT BUT INSTEAD A MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER IN SAN BENITO.
