TOSS TO ROBERT-REM-LIVE-DISSOLVE TO LIVE IN PLASMA

HURRICANE SANDY BRUSHING THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA --

AND BRINGING MAJOR CHANGES TO OUR WEATHER.

WE WILL SEE WIND GUSTS OF 40 MILES AN HOUR OR MORE. AND SOON, AFTER A MAJOR DROP IN TEMPERATURES.

SANDY IS ON A PATH FOR THE NORTHEAST.

AND IT COULD BE DISASTEROUS.

THE FIRST ALERT STORM TEAM RIGHT NOW TRACKING SANDY'S PATH--

ROBERT YOU HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL WEEK --

DON'T SLEEP ON SANDY.

AND THAT IS PROVING TO BE TRUE --

TRACKING SANDY-HTC-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.

HURRICANE SANDY - GAME CHANGER FOR SWFL

First thing is first, Hurricane Sandy will not have a direct impact on southwest Florida. There are zero watches or warnings for us since Sandy will stay 300-400 miles to our east. Thus, all active watches and warnings are being issued for the east coast of our state.

What will it bring us? Breezy conditions, cloudy skies, and periods of rain for the next few days.

The weather coming after Sandy passes will be phenomenal - In fact, it's game changing.

Sandy is currently pushing to the north, and it's going to merge with a very large low pressure system heading for the northeast and mid Atlantic states. This will cause a mega storm to form around Chesapeake Bay - very comparable to the storm of the century we witnessed in the early 90s.

Sandy may rewrite the record books

It has the possibility of causing millions, if not billions, of dollars in damage across the northeastern United States when it makes landfall on Tuesday.

It'll be such a mega system that it may very well catapult us into the dry season. Sound familiar? It should. Hurricane Wilma did it a few years back.

We're going to see a lot of sunshine after Sandy passes, and yes cool fall weather, from the start of your day to the beginning.

Lows will be in the lower 50s and we could possibly see an upper 40s in some spots next week. Highs will struggle to get pass 75!

ALL EYES ARE ON HURRICANE SANDY.HER OUTER BANDS ALREADY BEING FELT IN

SOUTHEASTERN FLORIDA.

STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY RAINS HAVE SHUT DOWN PIERS AND BEACHES.

SOT/OCEAN RESCUE GUY

We are keeping everyone out of the water. it is very, very dangerous so we don't' want anybody to get hurt.

THE SCOPE OF THE HURRICANE CAN BE SEEN IN THIS IMAGE CAPTURED BY THE CREW OF

THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.

Nats Cuba

Sandy made landfall today in southern Cuba, battering trees and buildings

and sending waves crashing over seawalls.

SOT Nathan Tahuniai, Medical Student

We do get worried a bit, but this is a usual thing here in the Caribbean

right? storms and so we're handling it ok.

JAMAICA WAS HIT BY SANDY YESTERDAY, SUFFERING DRENCHING RAINS. ONE MAN WAS

KILLED THERE, AND THE HUNDRED MILE PER HOUR WINDS ALSO TOOK TWO LIVES IN

HAITI

NATS Sandy

AFTER CUBA, SANDY IS FORECAST TO PASS OVER THE BAHAMAS.

THE SOUTHEASTERN FLORIDA COAST COULD BE UNDER TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS BY

TOMORROW MORNING.BEFORE TURNING UP THE EAST COAST THIS WEEKEND.

sot bernie rayno

we are afraid that sandy is going to be drawn northward as this cooler air

comes east. and then what happens you are bringing tropical air into a cold

air mass and that's going to allow the storm to intensify.

CONDITIONS THIS YEAR ARE SIMILAR TO OCTOBER 1991.THE YEAR OF THE SO CALLED

"PERFECT STORM".WHEN A HURRICANE COMBINED WITH A HUGE COLD WEATHER SYSTEM

AND BATTERED THE NORTHEAST.EVENTUALLY KILLING 12 PEOPLE AND CAUSED 200
