GOOD MORNING-2 SHOT

GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO NBC-2 NEWS TODAY.

I'M KELLY CRESWELL

AND I'M JOE ROETZ.

TODAY IS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17.

WE'LL HAVE A LOOK AT TODAY'S TOP STORIES IN JUST A MINUTE.

BUT FIRST METEOROLOGIST JASON DUNNING JOINS US WITH YOUR FIRST ALERT FORECAST.

TODAY'S WEATHER-WX CENTER

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.

It looks like we've got another day with some cloud complications across Southwest Florida.

After seeing a gray, cloudy sky for most of the day Friday, it's looking like those pesky clouds will hang around through a good portion of our Saturday.

Even a spotty shower or two will be possible this afternoon as a weather system passes to our north, but this will mainly be a cloud system for us, not a big rain maker.

We'll start things off again today with a layer of thick cloud cover, which should start to break up some by midday. As these low-level clouds begin to break up, more clouds will likely build in and develop in response to a disturbance swinging across the northern part of the state.

It looks like we could see more glimpses of sunshine compared to Friday's mostly overcast day, but sunshine should stay pretty limited with all the clouds around.

One weather element that will be pretty noticeable today, particularly during the morning, is the wind. A stiff breeze out of the northeast may make for a cool wind at times with speeds ranging from 5-15 mph.

On Friday, the cloud cover had a huge influence on our temperatures with a lot of places not even managing to warm past 70 degrees. With a few more breaks in the clouds expected today, however, temperatures will likely be several degrees warmer with daytime highs projected to warm into the mid to upper 70s.

Expect many of today's clouds to hang around through tonight as temperatures cool into the low 60s by early Sunday.

There's some good news for the second part of our weekend as Sunday should bring some improving weather. We may start Sunday morning with some lingering clouds, but the cloud cover should diminish as we go through the day, making for a partly sunny to partly cloudy sky. As a result, temperatures will run a bit higher with daytime highs expected to climb into the low to mid 80s.

The days leaded up to Thanksgiving will pretty much stay rain free, but we could see more clouds build in late Tuesday into Wednesday. Aside from this little cloud speed bump, our forecast for next week looks nice. From Monday and Tuesday, our sky will feature a mixture of sun and clouds with afternoon temperatures warming into the upper 70s.

LA RIG FIRE-2SHOT

DEVELOPING OUT OF THE GULF OF MEXICO THIS MORNING,

WE'RE FOLLOWING THE OIL RIG THAT BURST INTO FLAMES FRIDAY, ABOUT 85 MILES FROM THE SITE OF THE B-P OIL DISASTER FROM TWO YEARS AGO.

TWO PEOPLE ARE STILL MISSING.

FOUR OTHERS ARE IN THE HOSPITAL SUFFERING FROM SEVERE INJURIES.

LA RIG FIRE-PKG

SCRIPT:

THE EXPLOSION SHOT A PILLAR OF BLACK SMOKE OVER 1000 FEET INTO THE AIR. THE

FIREBALL SEEN OVER 20 MILES AWAY.

"YOU can distincly make out a giant fireball, a flash, then a another giant

flash."

AND ABOARD THE BLACK ELK GAS PLATFORM, AN INFERNO ENGULFED SOME OF THE 22

WORKERS DOING ROUTINE MAINTANANCE. CHARRING A CORNER OF THE PLATFORM A

MASSIVE SEARCH IS now ON FOR TWO MEN WHO JUMPED INTO THE WATER AND ARE

LISTED AS MISSING.

11 OTHERS WERE MEDIVACED - some OF THEM WITH SEVERE BURNS.

SOT Roberts

"We can confirm that these two patients are in critical conditions, with

major burns."

According to Black Elk, a WORKMAN USED THE WRONG KIND OF BLOW TORCH TO CUT

THE SECTION OF PIPELINE INDICATED BY THE ARROWS - SETTING OFF THE OIL

INSIDE

BUT THE RIG WAS NOT ACTIVELY PRODUCING OIL OR GAS, MEANING THERE'S LITTLE

THREAT OF A SPILL, SAID THE COAST GUARD

SOT USCG Cubanski:

"The platform was confirmed shut off, before they started work, so it was a

non-production platform at the time."

AN OIL SHEEN COVERED LESS THAN HALF SQUARE MILE OF THE GULF 28 GALLONS

. NOT ENOUGH TO FILL A LARGE SUV'S GAS TANK.

IN COMPARISON BP'S DEEPWATER HORIZON DISASTER SPILLED ENOUGH DAILY TO FILL

THE GAS TANKS OF 82,000 SUV'S.

AND THIS ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE IN JUST 50 FEET OF WATER. OVER 80 MILES FROM

WHERE THE DEEPWATER HORIZON WAS DRILLING IN WATER A MILE DEEP - IN ONE OF

EMPLOYEES ALSO CHARGED IN THE DEATHS OF 11 MEN.

PETRAEUS LATEST-2SHOT

FORMER C-I-A DIRECTOR DAVID PETRAEUS WAS FRONT AND CENTER YESTERDAY DURING A CLOSED DOOR HEARING IN THE U-S HOUSE.

THE EMBATTLED FOUR STAR GENERAL WAS THERE TO TESTIFY ABOUT THE DEADLY ATTACK THIS PAST SEPTEMBER ON THE U-S CONSULATE IN BENGHAZI, LIBYA.

PETRAEUS LATEST-PKG

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS --

CAMERAS WERE READY BEFORE DAWN HOPING TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF DAVID PETRAEUS - COMING TO BRIEF LAWMAKERS ABOUT THE DEADLY ATTACK IN BENGHAZI. ONE WEEK AFTER RESIGNING IN DISGRACE.

PETREAUS CAME BUT NO ONE SAW HIM.

He went behind those doors, if you can see back there, without anybody seeing him. In fact, the committee for some reason decided to protect him and they really had to go to great lengths to effectively sneak him in.

LAWMAKERS ADMIT THEY PROTECTED PETREAUS BECAUSE HE AGREED TO COME VOLUNTARILY WITH THE HOPE OF CLEARING UP CONFUSION ABOUT INTELLIGENCE IN THE DAYS AFTER SEPTEMBER'S DEADLY ATTACK.

BUT PETRAUES' TESTIMONY DIDN'T SEEM TO CLEAR MUCH UP. ESPECIALLY WHETHER HE DOWNPLAYED INFORMATION ABOUT TERRORIST INVOLVEMENT.

The clear impression that we were given is that the overwhelming amount of evidence was that it was a, it rose out of a spontaneous demonstration and was not a terrorist attack.

THAT WAS THE REPUBLICAN REACTION. DEMOCRATS INSIST PETRAEUS HAS BEEN CONSISTENT.

It's all about your perception and the information that you receive.he also said in the group there were extremists and some Al Qaeda affiliates and that was said in the very beginning.

THE MOST POLITICALLY-CHARGED CONTROVERSY IS OVER UN AMBASSADOR SUSAN RICE'S COMMENTS 5 DAYS AFTER THE ATTACK WHY SHE BLAMED IT ON BENGHAZI DEMONSTRATIONS, OFFICIALS NOW SAY DIDN'T EVEN HAPPEN AND WHY SHE DIDN'T MENTION TERRORIST FORCES INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS NOW BELIEVE ACTUALLY TARGETED THE US CONSULATE THERE.

DEMOCRATS EMERGED SAY THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE SHE WAS USING THESE UNCLASSIFIED CIA TALKING POINTS WHICH OMITTED MENTION OF EXTREMIST ELEMENTS BECAUSE IT WAS STILL CLASSIFIED AND COULD HAVE COMPROMISED INTELLIGENCE SOURCES.

She used the unclassified talking points that were signed off on by the entire intelligence community. So criticisms of her are completely unwarranted.

DEMOCRATS ACCUSED REPUBLICANS OF UNNECESSARILY ASSASSINATING RICE'S CHARACTER.

You don't pillory the person. And to select Ambassador Rice because she used an unclassified talking point to say that she is unqualified to be Secretary of State I think is a mistake.

BUT REPUBLICANS SAY THE PROBLEM IS RICE FREELANCED.

She went beyond that and she even mentioned that under the leadership of Barack Obama we had decimated Al Qaeda. Well she knew at that point and time that Al Qaeda was very likely responsible in part or in hole for the death of Ambassador Stevens.

HEALTH BEAT PKG-PLASMA

GETTING HEALTH CARE SERVICES, ON THE JOB.

IT'S PART OF A GROWING FIELD OF MEDICINE, AIMED AT WORKERS WELL-BEING.

YEARS AGO EMPLOYERS MIGHT HAVE HAD A COMPANY DOCTOR.

TODAY, IT'S MORE OF A HEALTH AND WELLNESS TEAM.

HEALTH BEAT PKG-PKG

ALONG WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT GO RIGHT IN A PRODUCTIVE WORKPLACE, OCCASIONALLY THINGS GO WRONG. ATTENDING TO HEALTH CARE NEEDS ON THE JOB IS WHAT LAUNCHED THE FIELD OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH.

DR. ANDREW SINGH/OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE

RUNS:

3:03 This field really began in the turn of the 19th century when there was some very heavy industry going on you had steel manufacturing, mining, some labor intensive industries. And companies had lots of accidents.

NOWADAYS, NEEDS HAVE GROWN AND CHANGED. AND MANY COMPANIES OUTSOURCE WITH HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, LIKE LEE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM, TO A COVER SERVICES. FROM DRUG SCREENINGS, TO PHYSICALS AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS THAT ENCOURAGE HEALTHY LIVING.

DR. ANDREW SINGH/OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE

RUNS:

4:26 We actually tailor a program to what each individual employer would like us to do.

For example, when flu season comes around, we can run an actual clinic onsite. The employees can get motivated to lose weight, to stop smoking, to control some of their medical issues.

AMY OSHIER/REPORTING

RUNS:

It makes sense and saves dollars. Which is why businesses, large and small are investing in their workers well-being. Keeping employees healthy aligns with better attendance and lower insurance premiums.

TRENDS SHOW WORKERS COMP CLAIMS ARE LOWER WHEN ATTENTION IS GIVEN TO THE SURROUNDINGS.

:09 Being able to look at a workplace and say 'oh this is a job that has actually a lot of inherent risk in it, what can we do to change that risk'?

BOATERS- LISTEN UP!

LAW ENFORCEMENT IS STEPPING UP PATROLS THIS WEEKEND IN MANATEE ZONES.

MANATEE ZONES-PKG

Nats officer

"We'll be 10-98 63 mic call alpha Charlie."

Florida fish and wildlife conservation commission officer James suttles spends his days on the caloosahatchee river.

Besides boats- the most common thing he sees is manatees.

Sot suttles

" if there's shallow water the no where for the manatees to go."

The sea cows have to come to the surface to breath…and they're not good at moving quickly to protect themselves.

Sot

Joelle- when was the last time you saw a dead or injured manatee?

Suttles-2 hours ago."

So far this year, 308 manatees have died statewide.

57 were in lee county.

The leading cause of death- boats.

Sot suttles

" you have a high number of manatees, you get a county like lee with a high number of boaters- unfortunately manatees and boaters are going to come into contact and it doesn't work out for the manatee too well."

As manatees move up the caloosahatchee river to warmer waters- officers do what they can to protect them.

Sot suttles

Officers will be out using radar to enforce the speed zones."

Standup joelle

"The slow speed zones are in place for a reaso. Just because you don't see any manatees here, doesn't mean that they not just below the surface."

Sot suttles

A lot of people thing 25 mpg is slow speed, but in a vessel it's actually quite fast."

The goal is education-

FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

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.

It looks like we've got another day with some cloud complications across Southwest Florida.

After seeing a gray, cloudy sky for most of the day Friday, it's looking like those pesky clouds will hang around through a good portion of our Saturday.

Even a spotty shower or two will be possible this afternoon as a weather system passes to our north, but this will mainly be a cloud system for us, not a big rain maker.

We'll start things off again today with a layer of thick cloud cover, which should start to break up some by midday. As these low-level clouds begin to break up, more clouds will likely build in and develop in response to a disturbance swinging across the northern part of the state.

It looks like we could see more glimpses of sunshine compared to Friday's mostly overcast day, but sunshine should stay pretty limited with all the clouds around.

One weather element that will be pretty noticeable today, particularly during the morning, is the wind. A stiff breeze out of the northeast may make for a cool wind at times with speeds ranging from 5-15 mph.

On Friday, the cloud cover had a huge influence on our temperatures with a lot of places not even managing to warm past 70 degrees. With a few more breaks in the clouds expected today, however, temperatures will likely be several degrees warmer with daytime highs projected to warm into the mid to upper 70s.

Expect many of today's clouds to hang around through tonight as temperatures cool into the low 60s by early Sunday.

There's some good news for the second part of our weekend as Sunday should bring some improving weather. We may start Sunday morning with some lingering clouds, but the cloud cover should diminish as we go through the day, making for a partly sunny to partly cloudy sky. As a result, temperatures will run a bit higher with daytime highs expected to climb into the low to mid 80s.

The days leaded up to Thanksgiving will pretty much stay rain free, but we could see more clouds build in late Tuesday into Wednesday. Aside from this little cloud speed bump, our forecast for next week looks nice. From Monday and Tuesday, our sky will feature a mixture of sun and clouds with afternoon temperatures warming into the upper 70s.
