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.

We're on track to see another mostly sunny, warm day across Southwest Florida with pretty slim rain chances once again.

We'll start the day with a few patchy clouds, but sunshine will prevail as we go through the morning and afternoon. Our temperatures will still run a few degrees above average with highs aimed at the low 80s inland and upper 70s along the coast.

A warm breeze out of the east will keep winds up to 5-15 mph during the day, but winds won't be quite as gust as in previous days.

There's very limited moisture around Southwest Florida today, but we may see just enough to support a one or two stray showers. Aside from a couple lonely sprinkles, though, we'll stay mostly dry today.

Our rain chances are now looking slightly more promising by midweek as a result of a disturbance that's appearing a little bit stronger. This system should swing across Southwest Florida late Wednesday into Thursday morning, and as it does so, we may see some widely scattered showers Wednesday evening through Thursday morning. Don't get too excited about our rain prospects, however, as these showers should stay pretty isolated and "hit or miss."

The main side effect we'll notice from this system will be an increase in cloud cover from Wednesday afternoon through the first part of Thursday.

Once the disturbance exits Thursday afternoon, we'll get back to seeing mostly sunny and dry weather with daytime highs close to 80 and overnight temperatures dipping down to 60.

The upcoming weekend is looking very nice with partly cloudy skies and warmer than normal temperatures. We've seen some indications Saturday and Sunday might offer up a few more showers, so we'll continue monitoring this possibility over the next couple days.

BUT PRESIDENT OBAMA IS REJECTING THE MADE BY THE REPUBLICANS.

TODAY THE PRESIDENT LS HOSTING SOME OF THE NATION'S INFLUENTIAL GOVERNORS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

FISCAL CLIFF-PKG

Congressional Republicans' counter proposal was dead on arrival.

The White House quickly rejected the two-point-two Trillion dollar

deficit reduction plan that would raise 800-billion dollars in tax revenue

over the next decade.

But the plan calls for raising the revenue WITHOUT raising tax rates on top

income earners. Something the White House views as unacceptable.

During a photo opp, President Obama avoided questions about the GOP plan.

SOT Reporter: "THERE IS NO DEAL BETTER THAN A BAD DEAL, SIR?"

SOT Obama: "THANK YOU, EVERYBODY."

A senior White House official called the proposal a step backwards,

saying if Republicans do not agree to some higher tax rates for the wealthy,

the nation WILL go over the fiscal cliff and the American people will hold

them responsible.

Democrats also take issue with the proposal's spending cuts to Medicare and

Social Security.

Republicans counter that tough cuts are needed to address the nation's

soaring debt.

Leaving Washington locked in a stalemate less than a month before every

American sees their taxes shoot up.

The gridlock has irritated people outside Washington, like Deborah Page of

Arlington, Texas.

FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL WORKERS. EVERY MOMENT COUNTS.

BUT AN AMBULANCE TEAM TREATING A PATIENT WITH CHEST PAINS WAS SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWED DOWN TRYING TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL.

THAT'S BECAUSE SOMEONE PUT A BOOT ON THE AMBULANCE TIRE.

Put the ambulance in drive and heard a loud noise. Walked out to see a boot on the ambulance where, allegedly the employees of the store came out and booted the ambulance because it was not parked properly in their parking lot."

AMBULANCE BOOTED-SOT VO

We actually had to delay that patient's care by calling another ambulance out here to come transport this patient."

AN EMPLOYEE OF THE STORE TRIED TO REMOVE THE BOOT BUT THAT CAUSED THE AMBULANCE'S TIRE TO DEFLATE.

A WISCONSIN WOMAN, AND LOYAL GOODWILL SHOPPER, SPENT 12-DOLLARS ON A PIECE OF SECOND-HAND ART, WORTH NINE-THOUSAND BUCKS!

I looked down and I saw the signature and I thought Calder? Alexander Calder maybe? And I was very surprised and I thought surely not. I used my Goodwill loyalty card and I ended up paying 12 dollars and 34 cents. I found an art appraiser in Chicago, loaded it in the car this summer and took it down.

TURNS OUT, SHE HAS A GOOD EYE.
