IT'S COLD OUT THERE TONIGHT!
THE COLDEST WE'VE SEEN IN 8 MONTHS, IN FACT.
LET'S GET STRAIGHT OVER TO SENIOR CHIEF METEOROLOGIST ROBERT VAN WINKLE.
Return to index of stories...
FIRST WEATHER
Thursday night looks to be the chilliest of the week. Temperatures will plummet into the upper 40s to low 50s along the urban corridor with a few middle 40s across our inland and northern communities under clear skies.
It will be a spectacular finish to the work week as high pressure remains in control of our weather pattern with plentiful sunshine, low humidity, and temperatures in the upper 70s. By the weekend, our winds will take more of an easterly turn, which will bring a bit of low level moisture across the state. By Saturday and Sunday, expect a few more clouds dotting the sky with temperatures recovering back into the lower 80s.
Right now computer forecast models are indicating another cold front moving down the peninsula Tuesday with the possibility of a few more cloudy periods and our next chance of rain.

HE TOLD DEPUTIES THAT THE COCAINE HE WAS CARRYING.BELONGED TO BIGELOW.

THE SHERIFF'S REPORT REVEALS AROUND 1 P-M WEDNESDAY LEE COUNTY DETECTIVES WERE WATCHING A SUSPECTED DRUG HOUSE ON IONE AVENUE, WHEN BIGELOW'S RENTAL CAR PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY.
THE LEE COUNTY COMMISIONER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.
DETECTIVES WATCHED WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS A DRUG DEAL AND STOPPED THE PAIR ON TICE STREET FOR A TRAFFIC VIOLATION.
they had smelled marijuana in the car so they proceeded to search:25
JIM MELOCK WATCHED AS THE INCIDENT WENT DOWN.
DEPUTIES SAY HENLEY ADMITTED TO HAVING POT -- HE WAS ARRESTED.
DEPUTIES ALSO SAY THERE WAS A SUBSTANCE.THAT APPEARED TO BE MARIJUANA.SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE CAR.
BIGELOW WHO. ACCORDING TO THE REPORT BEGAN TO ACT EXTREMELY NERVOUS.

BUT AGAIN.
DEPUTITES TELL US BIGELOW WASN'T ARRESTED ON DRUG CHARGES BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY DRUGS ON HIM DURING THE TRAFFIC STOP.

GOVENOR RICK SCOTT WANTS HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS CAN AFFORD.
SAYING QUOTE:
"What we will not accept from the Blue Ribbon Task Force is a blind call for more money."
IT PROMPTED A UNIQUE IDEA--FROM THE GOVENORS APPOINTED TASK FORCE.
GIVE STUDENTS MAJORING IN HIGH DEMAND DEGREES A BREAK.
CHARGE THE OTHER STUDENTS MORE.
FGCU SAYS ITS SEEN THE PROPOSAL AND QUOTE "looks forward to participating in these discussions and learning more."
SOME STUDENTS AREN'T SO EAGER.
1:20:02 i think it would be a sour hit to our school i don't think students would like it 1:20:08
your always encouraged to follow your dreams and if your dream costs more than something you might not like as much you're not going to follow your dream you're going to go with what's more affordable 1:21:24
SOME MAJORS THAT COULD CATCH A BREAK--ENGINEERING--TECHNOLOGY--MATH--AND SCIENCE.
1:19:47 personally if it was going to allow me to pay less it'd be a great idea for me but i feel overall for the college community --i don't think its a good idea at all 19:57
STUDENTS WHO WOULD PAY MORE INCLUDE THOSE MAJORING IN PSYCHOLOGY, POLITICAL SCIENCE ANTHROPOLOGY AND PERFORMING ARTS.
1:21:39if it was substantial i would possibly change to something i wasn't as interested in 1:21:43
THE TUITION BREAK FOR SOME--WOULD LAST FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS.
THE TASK FORCE'S GOAL--TO ENCOURAGE PURSUIT OF DEGREES TO FILL FLORIDA'S MOST NEEDED JOBS.
BUT SOME STUDENTS FEAR--THE PROPOSAL MAY CHANGE THEIR COURSE AND THEIR FUTURE.
