FIRST ALERT FORECAST-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.

Clouds will mix in with sunshine through our Wednesday, providing for a partly sunny sky, and at times, more clouds than sun.

Like yesterday, a few stray showers may develop during the afternoon, but the chance of getting hit by one of these showers still looks pretty slim.

With the extra cloud clover around today, temperatures should be a touch lower compared to previous days, but it's still going to be fairly warm for December standards. Most places should see daytime highs close to 80, most likely between 77-79°.

You'll also notice winds will continue to slack up today with wind speeds mostly between 5-10 mph out of the east.

Now, let's address the uptick in rain prospects coming our way. We all know rain has been pretty hard to come by lately across Southwest Florida , but the chance for at least a few isolated showers looks a little more promising than initially forecast earlier in the week.

The highest rain chances this week will likely come Thursday and Saturday. With that said, don't get too excited about the prospect of rain because rain probabilities will still be less than 50/50. We're talking about a jump from 10% rain chances to 30% rain chances, but hey, at least it's something.

By Thursday morning, a weak disturbance will swing across Southwest Florida, which should stir up the atmosphere enough to produce a few widely scattered showers. This means the showers will be hit-or-miss in nature, and not everyone gets wet. In fact, most of us should stay dry.

Once this system exits the area late Thursday, we'll dry out a little more Friday, and then it looks like a little more moisture from the Caribbean will build in Saturday, which should generate some more spotty showers Saturday afternoon.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST MARSHA LUCAS SAYS YOU CAN "RE-WIRE" YOUR BRAIN FOR LOVE SIMPLY BY MEDITATING.

"This is about changing your brain in ways that serve you."

"He's a stock broker; I'm a yoga teacher."

"We're such completely opposite people."

TINA SAYS DAILY MEDITATION HAS HELPED KEEP THEIR MARRIAGE STRONG.

"It kind of diffuses the stress."

DOCTOR LUCAS SAYS IT ALSO HELPS BUILD NEW NERVE CELLS. SHE RECOMMENDS "MINDFULNESS MEDITATION." FOR EXAMPLE, YOU FOCUS ON YOUR BREATH. IF YOUR MIND WANDERS, YOU GENTLY BRING IT BACK. LUCAS SAYS THE ACT OF RE-FOCUSING YOUR THOUGHTS IS LIKE EXERCISE FOR THE BRAIN. IT'S WHAT CHANGES CONNECTIONS.

"Your brain responds by building those new pathways."

THOSE BRAIN CHANGES ALTER THE WAY YOU RESPOND TO YOUR PARTNER. ONE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA STUDY FOUND COUPLES WHO PRACTICED MINDFULNESS MEDITATION FOR EIGHT WEEKS COULD BOOST THEIR SATISFACTION WITH EACH OTHER BY ABOUT 50-PERCENT.

"You're doing do-it-yourself brain surgery without all the mess."

HEALTH MATTERS-PKG

THE GOLD STANDARD IN BREAST CANCER SCREENING, MAMMOGRAPHY OFFERS AN XRAY VIEW OF THE BREAST. THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY RECOMMENDS WOMEN START GETTING THEM AT AGE FORTY, AND EVERY YEAR THEREAFTER.

DR. GAIL SANTUCCI/DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGIST

RUNS:

1:06 The reason that we do it every year is that we're looking for subtle changes in the pattern over time. So if something begins to become distorted or a mass shows up or calcifications that are suspicious show up, those are the things that we're looking for.

CERTAIN BREAST TISSUE IS EASY TO READ.OTHERS MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT.

2-SHOT DR. SANTUCCI & AMY

RUNS:

:46 She's our favorite candidate for screening because she has very small tissue. Tumors would show up very easily in a patient like this.

AMY OSHIER/REPORTING

RUNS:

The denser the breast, the harder it is to spot minor variations. Doctors are looking at two images of each breast. At least 8-10% of patients are called back to take more pictures.

DR. GAIL SANTUCCI/DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGIST

RUNS:

7:00 With those four views we are taking of the breasts, we aren't looking up close at particular areas, we are kind of getting an overview and look for anything that triggers us to look closer.

IN ITSELF, IT DOESN'T MEAN THE TEST WAS 'POSITIVE'

DR. GAIL SANTUCCI/DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGIST

RUNS:

8:30: It could be that the tissue overlaps funny on the mammogram pictures and it looks like it could be distorted by a mass, when in fact it's just normal tissue. It could be that we see a mass on the mammogram and we're not sure if it's a cyst or if it's solid.

1-2% OF PATIENTS will undergo a biopsy. ONLY a half-a-percent end up having breast cancer. SO GETTING A CALL BACK AFTER A MAMMOGRAM IS NO REASON TO HIT THE PANIC BUTTON.

DR. GAIL SANTUCCI/DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGIST

RUNS:

7:00 I think that's one of the most misunderstood portions of mammography. People become very concerned when they get a call.

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.

Clouds will mix in with sunshine through our Wednesday, providing for a partly sunny sky, and at times, more clouds than sun.

Like yesterday, a few stray showers may develop during the afternoon, but the chance of getting hit by one of these showers still looks pretty slim.

With the extra cloud clover around today, temperatures should be a touch lower compared to previous days, but it's still going to be fairly warm for December standards. Most places should see daytime highs close to 80, most likely between 77-79°.

You'll also notice winds will continue to slack up today with wind speeds mostly between 5-10 mph out of the east.

Now, let's address the uptick in rain prospects coming our way. We all know rain has been pretty hard to come by lately across Southwest Florida , but the chance for at least a few isolated showers looks a little more promising than initially forecast earlier in the week.

The highest rain chances this week will likely come Thursday and Saturday. With that said, don't get too excited about the prospect of rain because rain probabilities will still be less than 50/50. We're talking about a jump from 10% rain chances to 30% rain chances, but hey, at least it's something.

By Thursday morning, a weak disturbance will swing across Southwest Florida, which should stir up the atmosphere enough to produce a few widely scattered showers. This means the showers will be hit-or-miss in nature, and not everyone gets wet. In fact, most of us should stay dry.

Once this system exits the area late Thursday, we'll dry out a little more Friday, and then it looks like a little more moisture from the Caribbean will build in Saturday, which should generate some more spotty showers Saturday afternoon.

A COMBINATION OF THINGS KIDS NEED AND THINGS KIDS WANT.

"pencils, dolls, jump ropes."

NEW, UNWRAPPED STUFF BUT WHY IN THE DUMPSTER?
