Today's Weather Story
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.
Sunshine returns with cooler temperatures"
After a cloudy day with a few showers, we have a pretty nice forecast headed our way over the next couple of days. Now that a cold front has passed through Southwest Florida much cooler and drier air will filter down the state with chilly nights and cooler afternoons.
In fact this morning, temperatures will start out 8 - 10° cooler with most locations in the lower 50s with middle and upper 40s across our northern and inland communities. As an area of cool and dry high pressure settles in from the northwest, more sunshine will return for Thursday. Northerly winds will usher in a chilly airmass, which will bring a nice change in our temperatures. Afternoon highs will top out from the middle 60s north to lower 70s south and our humidity values will be quite comfy as well.
Tonight, clear skies and light winds will allow the mercury to drop even more as overnight temperatures plunge into the upper 40s along the urban corridor with colder readings east of I-75.
After a cold start on Friday, mostly sunny skies will hang on for Friday as daytime highs rebound into the middle and upper 70s. Over the weekend moisture will return ahead of our next storm system with a cold front approaching our part of the state during the afternoon hours. Scattered showers will break out across the area Saturday afternoon and will quickly fade away during the evening with another cool down in the works for the last Sunday before the New Year. We will welcome 2013 with mostly sunny skies and near average temperatures with lows in the 50s and highs in the mid 70s.

here is a magazine for ammunition that carries 30 bullets. Now, isn't it possible that if we got rid of these, if we replaced them and said you could only have a magazine that carries 5 bullets or 10 bullets, isn't it just possible that we could reduce the carnage in a situation like Newtown?"

BACKLASH IS BUILDING AGAINST A NEW YORK CITY SUBURBAN NEWSPAPER THAT PUBLISHED A MAP SHOWING WHO HAS GUN PERMITS.
"I think it was a very irresponsible thing for the newspaper to do. They were telling burglars 'Go to the house next door. They're not likely to have a gun because they don't have a permit'- which is required to buy a handgun in New York state."
ITS EDITORS SAY THE NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT SHOOTINGS - AND THE ISSUE OF GUN CONTROL- ARE FOREMOST IN THE MINDS OF THEIR READERS.
SO THE NEWSPAPER MADE THE DECISION TO PUBLISH AN INTERACTIVE MAP, WITH INFORMATION ON WHERE HANDGUN PERMIT-HOLDERS ARE IN THE NEW YORK COUNTIES OF WESTCHESTER AND ROCKLAND.
Return to index of stories...
For a news organization, I think it's a very clever use of public information, it certainly provides something that people are interested in knowing. But for gun owners of course, it raises a concern, because information that they thought would be kept private has now been made public."

"I've called. I've made more personal phone calls than I know what to do with. I've spent my last quarter, to be honest with you. It's beyond reproach. I have no words to tell you. to tell you how sorry I am. This is way above our heads. by people that obviously, in my humble opinion, don't have a clue what they're doing."

Full Forecast
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.
Sunshine returns with cooler temperatures"
After a cloudy day with a few showers, we have a pretty nice forecast headed our way over the next couple of days. Now that a cold front has passed through Southwest Florida much cooler and drier air will filter down the state with chilly nights and cooler afternoons.
In fact this morning, temperatures will start out 8 - 10° cooler with most locations in the lower 50s with middle and upper 40s across our northern and inland communities. As an area of cool and dry high pressure settles in from the northwest, more sunshine will return for Thursday. Northerly winds will usher in a chilly airmass, which will bring a nice change in our temperatures. Afternoon highs will top out from the middle 60s north to lower 70s south and our humidity values will be quite comfy as well.
Tonight, clear skies and light winds will allow the mercury to drop even more as overnight temperatures plunge into the upper 40s along the urban corridor with colder readings east of I-75.
After a cold start on Friday, mostly sunny skies will hang on for Friday as daytime highs rebound into the middle and upper 70s. Over the weekend moisture will return ahead of our next storm system with a cold front approaching our part of the state during the afternoon hours. Scattered showers will break out across the area Saturday afternoon and will quickly fade away during the evening with another cool down in the works for the last Sunday before the New Year. We will welcome 2013 with mostly sunny skies and near average temperatures with lows in the 50s and highs in the mid 70s.
