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.

Our cool snap quickly comes to and end"

After a cold start to the day, our cool snap will quickly come to an end as a warming trend begins.

There will be a chill in the air as we start our Friday with many locations dipping into the middle to upper 40s along the urban corridor with our inland cold spots plummeting into the lower 40s. Sunny skies will prevail through the mid day hours as temperatures gradually work their way into the middle and upper 70s later in the day.

The cool dome of high pressure that brought us a quick dose of cool and dry air will shift to the east with more clouds filtering in from the south across our part of the state. Forecast models suggest a stray shower during the afternoon hours, however it looks like the vast majority of us will stay dry with increasing rain prospects by the first half of the weekend.

We will be watching a cold front approach the Florida peninsula throughout the day on Saturday. As a result, our skies will cloud up with a band of showers moving across Southwest Florida during the afternoon hours and quickly exiting to our south and east by the evening. Clouds will clear from north to south and a cooler and drier airmass will settle in across the state.

THE RETIRED FOUR STAR GENERAL PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY IN TAMPA AT THE AGE OF 78.

HE IS BEST KNOWN FOR LEADING COALITION FORCES DURING THE PERSIAN GULF WAR.

HE DROVE SADDAM HUSSEIN OUT OF KUWAIT.

GENERAL DEATH-SOTVO

20:47:56:00 "I think we was in the category of washington, lincoln, patton and macarthur."

LONGSHOREMAN STRIKE-VO-WIPE

A LOOMING STRIKE INVOLVING FLORIDA GULF COAST AND EAST COAST DOCK WORKERS COULD HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY.

THESE GUYS MOVE EVERYTHING FROM CLOTHES TO OUR ELECTRONICS.

BUT -- WORKERS AT MORE THAN A DOZEN PORTS FROM FLORIDA TO MAINE GO ON STRIKE, THOSE GOODS WON'T BE MAKING IT TO OUR STORES.

PORTS IN THE GULF AND ALONG THE EAST COAST HANDLE ABOUT 55-BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF CARGO EACH MONTH.

LONGSHOREMAN STRIKE-SOTVO

. So this is going to be felt not just at the local economy at the ports, but nationwide for everybody else who relies on these ports to move their commerce."

A STRIKE WOULD ONLY IMPACT PORTS THAT HANDLE CONTAINERS-- NOT OTHER CARGO LIKE AUTOMOBILES.

LIGHT BULB PHASE OUT-TRX VO

CONSUMER ALERT THIS MORNING.

LIGHTBULBS ARE CHANGING IN THE NEW YEAR.

THE 75-WATT BULB WILL NO LONGER BE PRODUCED.

THE 100-WATT WAS ALREADY PHASED OUT EARLIER THIS YEAR.

IN THEIR PLACE, PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO BUY NEW L-E-D BULBS.

LIGHT BULB PHASE OUT-SOTVO

If $25 to $40 sounds

like a lot of money for a light bulb, you've got to keep that in perspective

because for $1 you spend to power a regular light bulb, it's only going to cost

you 20 cents to power the LED.

NAP NANNY RECALL-TRX VIDBOX

THIS MORNING: 4 MAJOR RETAILERS HAVE AGREED TO PULL A CONTROVERSIAL INFANT RECLINER FROM THEIR SHELVES.

"Skating gives me a sense of exhilaration."

AND THIS IS HOW SHE FEEDS HER SOUL.

"It gives me an opportunity to express myself."

THEN CAME BREAST CANCER.

"Once I was diagnosed I kind of shut everything down."

CLINTON IS CONVINCED SHE IS BACK ON THE ICE TODAY BECAUSE AFTER HER SURGERY, SHE REFUSED CHEMO-THERAPY AND TURNED TO BASTYR. A NATURAL HEALING UNIVERSITY, IN THE MIDDLE OF A GROUND BREAKING INVESTIGATION.

"We consider cancer a failure of the immune system, so when Lisa came here after being diagnosed with breast cancer she wanted to know what she could do."

DR. LEANNA STANDISH DECIDED TO INTRODUCE LISA TO THE TURKEY TAIL.

A SMALL MUSHROOM COMMONLY FOUND IN NORTHWEST FORESTS THAT PHYSICIANS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD HAVE BEEN USING FOR CENTURIES TO BOOST THE BODY'S IMMUNE SYSTEM.

"When I measured her immune system when she came here, it wasn't in ideal shape."

RESEARCHERS AT BASTYR GOT PERMISSION FROM THE FDA TO STUDY TURKEY TAIL'S HEALING QUALITIES.

There will be a chill in the air as we start our Friday with many locations dipping into the middle to upper 40s along the urban corridor with our inland cold spots plummeting into the lower 40s.

The cool dome of high pressure that brought us a quick dose of cool and dry air will shift to the east with more clouds filtering in from the south across our part of the state. Forecast models suggest a stray shower during the afternoon hours, however it looks like the vast majority of us will stay dry with increasing rain prospects by the first half of the weekend.

We will be watching a cold front approach the Florida peninsula throughout the day on Saturday. As a result, our skies will cloud up with a band of showers moving across Southwest Florida during the afternoon hours and quickly exiting to our south and east by the evening. Clouds will clear from north to south and a cooler and drier airmass will settle in across the state.

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.

Our cool snap quickly comes to and end"

After a cold start to the day, our cool snap will quickly come to an end as a warming trend begins.

There will be a chill in the air as we start our Friday with many locations dipping into the middle to upper 40s along the urban corridor with our inland cold spots plummeting into the lower 40s. Sunny skies will prevail through the mid day hours as temperatures gradually work their way into the middle and upper 70s later in the day.

The cool dome of high pressure that brought us a quick dose of cool and dry air will shift to the east with more clouds filtering in from the south across our part of the state. Forecast models suggest a stray shower during the afternoon hours, however it looks like the vast majority of us will stay dry with increasing rain prospects by the first half of the weekend.

We will be watching a cold front approach the Florida peninsula throughout the day on Saturday. As a result, our skies will cloud up with a band of showers moving across Southwest Florida during the afternoon hours and quickly exiting to our south and east by the evening. Clouds will clear from north to south and a cooler and drier airmass will settle in across the state.
