FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

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.

With no cold fronts headed toward Southwest Florida this week, the warmer than normal weather will be here to stay for a while.

Daytime highs today will be a few notches above average with most places warming up into the low to mid 80s this afternoon.

Moisture will be very limited, so rain chances will be slim at best. Our sky will stay mostly sunny through the day with some clouds mixing in with the sunshine during the afternoon.

Like the last few days, winds will be pretty swift out of the east from 5-15 mph with the occasional gust up to 20 mph. Winds should begin to relax a little by Tuesday, so conditions won't be quite as breezy starting tomorrow.

As we head through this evening and tonight, look for a mostly clear sky conditions with the exception of some light patchy fog early Tuesday morning.

I was thinking it was going to haul me into the water. And this is a little crazy but I thought it was kinda going to eat my hand off.

THE DOLPHIN BIT- AFTER JILLIAN MOVED A PAPER PLATE THAT HELD THE FISH SHE WAS FEEDING THEM.

When I was done I accidentally held it up, the dolphin jumped up and ate the carton and bit my hand.

They told us to make sure the paper plate stays on the wall, but we really didn't know why. And there was no disclaimer. there were no signs on the wall that says hey the dolphin could bite your hand or there is a level of risk in this attraction.

JILLIAN'S HAND IS NOW PRETTY MUCH HEALED. BUT THE SCARY EVENT WILL LAST HER LIFETIME. AND MAYBE LONGER ON YOUTUBE. HER FATHER POSTED THIS VIDEO TO WARN OTHER PARENTS.

We really felt powerless. So we thought we got this video let's make it public and let's try to put some pressure on SeaWorld to make some changes.

JILLIAN'S PARENTS SAY SEAWORLD RESPONDED CLUMSILY. NOT EVEN SENDING OVER A MANAGER.

They did not tell us to look out for any signs of infection. they rinsed it out with Bactine. we had to ask for Bandaids.

ARREST.

IT ALL STARTED WHEN Houchin was a guest on the popular

show in the dominican republic, "approach the stars" when HE SAYS the host

unexpectedly poured a flaming cologne on his head.

On Facebook houchin wrote, "this was not a stunt or part of an act -- this

was a criminal attack."

Houchin was rushed to the hospital with first and second degree burns on his

face and hands.

He has since tweeted, ". resting, healing & working through the legal

process in the D.R." AND "The outrage here and outpouring of support has

been incredible."

World famous magician david copperfield is among those supporters.

Copperfield sot: you try to present yourself as a performer that is

creating wonder and amazement and occasionally somebody might misunderstand

that and might think that you're trying to foster belief in something

supernatural.

Houchin was performing on the show with a group of magicians. After the

performances, houchin says the host told them he wanted to give them a "

blessing." He says without warning, the host doused HIM with this popular

cologne in the caribbean often used by witch doctors.

Described as a cross between a con-man and a street magician.Houchin has
