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.

"SWFL weather at its finest"

A weak cold front brought some cloudy periods across our skies Thursday, and now that the clearing trend is well underway we're in store for a beautiful weekend. This front will not bring much of a chill, however it will keep our nights comfortably cool and our afternoons sunny and dry with low humidity.

After some patchy fog this morning, we'll continue to see wall to wall sunshine through the midday and afternoon hours. This will help temperatures warm into the upper 70s to lower 80s today. We'll also see a nice refreshing breeze out of the northwest, which will keep the dry air in place and relative humidity levels on the comfy side.

Tonight, skies will stay clear and lows will be a touch cooler as many locations along the urban corridor will settle into the upper 50s by morning with most of our inland and northern communities dropping into the middle 50s.

The weekend is shaping up beautifully with dry high pressure in control. This will keep the pleasant weather around through Sunday. Mostly sunny skies will prevail with our mornings near 60° and our afternoons in the lower 80s.

AT THAT TIME, THERE WERE ONLY 15 SEARCH TEAMS IN THE ENTIRE NATION! SHE FOCUSED HER ENERGY ON BUILDING MORE TEAMS, AND SHE STARTED BY RESCUING DOGS IN SHELTERS.

"These dogs have been tossed onto the trash heap."

ACE -- A YELLOW LAB -- WAS ABANDONED, TIED TO A RAILROAD TRACK AND SPRAYED WITH MACE. HE WAS LESS THAN A DAY AWAY FROM BEING EUTHANIZED. JESTER'S ABILITY TO SCALE A SEVEN-FOOT FENCE WITH EASE ENDED HIM IN A SHELTER AND ON THE EUTHANASIA LIST. IT'S THESE RESCUED DOGS THAT ARE NOW RESCUING PEOPLE.

NEW HOPE AND BIG *HELP FOR FAMILIES STRUGGLING WITH INFERTILITY.

A NEW ACT WOULD PROVIDE A TAX CREDIT FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE INVITRO FERTILIZATION.

ONE ROUND OF THE PROCEDURE COSTS UPWARDS OF 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS. AND IT'S NOT GUARANTEED.

FERTILITY LEGISLATION-PKG

FORMER SAN DIEGO SCHOOL TEACHER LEIGH COOK HAD FERTILITY PROBLEMS.

AFTER TRYING NUMEROUS PROCEDURES COVERED BY HER INSURANCE, SHE DECIDED TO TRY INVITRO FERTILIZATION, WHICH WAS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE.

"Within just months, I was able to have a family. So now I have 4.5 year old twins because of the right treatment."

COOK SAYS SHE WOULD'VE CHOSEN INVITRO FERTILIZATION RIGHT AWAY, HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE HIGH COST, ABOUT 12-THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A TREATMENT.

NOW, THE NATIONAL FERTILITY ASSOCIATION AND OTHERS ARE SUPPORTING THE FAMILY ACT, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE A TAX CREDIT TO THOSE WHO CHOOSE THE PROCEDURE.

IT WAS MODELED AFTER THE TAX CREDIT ALLOWED FOR ADOPTION.

"This allows people who want to use medical treatment to build their family to have that same ability.

LIKE WITH ADOPTION, IT PROVIDES UP TO 13,360 DOLLARS IN TAX CREDITS.

BUT YOU'RE ONLY ELIGIBLE FOR THE CREDIT IF YOU MAKE LESS THAN 222-THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.

IT ALSO COVERS FUTURE INFERTILITY PROCEDURES, LIKE FREEZING EGGS BEFORE PEOPLE BECOME INFERTILE BECAUSE OF CHEMO-THERAPY.

ASKED WHETHER THEY WOULD SUPPORT IT, PEOPLE GAVE MIXED REVIEWS.

"I don't have a problem with that if somebody wanted to have a child, and they choose that method, that's acceptable."

DESPITE IT BEING THE WORST OUTBREAK IN 50 YEARS, ADULTS IN THIS COUNTRY AREN'T ROLLING UP THEIR SLEEVES FOR PERTUSSIS PROTECTION. WHILE MORE THAN 70% OF CHILDREN ARE FULLING VACCINATED AGAINST THE WHOOPING COUGH, ONLY 8% OF ADULTS ARE UP-TO-DATE ON THEIR SHOT.

DR. ANGELA D'ALESSANDRO/PEDIATRICIAN

RUNS:

3:05 It lasts about five to ten years, twelve tops. So by the time you're a teenager, you are probably not immune any longer to pertussis. Actually, it's our adolescent/adult population that transmits this illness.

THE T-DAP VACCINE IS GIVEN TO THOSE AGE 19 AND UP COVERS TETANUS, DIPTHERIA AND PERTUSSIS. CONTROLLING THE SPREAD OF ILLNESS IS ONE REASON PEOPLE ARE ENCOURAGED TO GET IMMUNIZED. THAT INCLUDES AN ANNUAL FLU SHOT.

DR. SAL LACAGNINA/VP HEALTH AND WELLNESS

RUNS: 10

11:29 it's such a highly contagious illness and it can cause some significant problems including hospitalizations and death in people as they get older.

AMY OSHIER/REPORTING

RUNS:

Other immunizations are aimed directly at the individual rather than the masses. The herpes-zoster vaccine for example, is meant for people who once had chicken pox and are now at risk for shingles.

ONLY 14% OF ADULTS WHO MEET THE CRITERIA ARE GETTING THE SHOT.

DIANE BREEN/HAD CHICKEN POX

RUNS:

:21 I was not aware of it until just a few years ago when I started hearing about the vaccine that you can get when you reach age 60.

THE PNEUMONIA SHOT HAS GOTTEN A HEALTHIER RESPONSE. RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE 65 AND OLDER, 62% ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE. FINDING WHICH SHOTS ARE RIGHT FOR YOU, IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD DISCUSS WITH YOUR DOCTOR.
