GOOD MORNING SOUTHWEST FLORIDA --

TODAY IS WEDNESDAY -- JANURARY NINTH.

I'M KRISTA FOGELSONG.

I'M CLAY MILLER.

THANKS FOR STARTING YOUR DAY WITH US HERE ON NBC-2 NEWS TODAY.

IT'S BEEN NEARLY A MONTH SINCE THE SHOOTING AT SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL --

NOW SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA ARE TAKING STEPS TOWARD TIGHTENED SECURITY.

LEE SCHOOL SECURITY-VO-WIPE

SUPERINTENDENT DOCTOR JOSEPH BURKE TOLD BOARD MEMBERS OF THE CHANGES.

THEY INCLUDE MAKING ALL SCHOOLS HAVE ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT FOR VISITORS.

RIGHT NOW, A HANDFUL OF SCHOOLs ALREADY HAVE THIS.

THEY'RE ALSO FIXING AND REPLACING ABOUT 25 CAMERAS.

DOING MORE LOCKDOWN DRILLS.

LEE SCHOOL SECURITY-SOTVO

We want to do all of the things that we can responsibly do to help our schools be as safe as possible and thats what we're gonna do.

THE SUPERINTENDENT IS STILL WORKING ON MORE CHANGES LIKE HAVING ONE LEE COUNTY DEPUTY AT EACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THAT IDEA COSTS ABOUT FOUR MILLION DOLLARS.

COLLIER SCHOOL SECURITY-VO-WIPE

AND COLLIER COUNTY SCHOOL LEADERS ALSO SHARED THEIR PLANS FOR CONTINUED SAFETY IN SCHOOLS.

5:02 FORECAST ON THE 2'S-WX WALL

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.

The warm, humid weather will stay locked in across Southwest Florida for the next several days, and there's even a chance we'll match or break today's record high of 85°.

We were only one degree shy of tying the record yesterday, and today will be another close call.

Even this morning, temperatures will be several degrees above average with morning lows only in the upper 60s and low 70s; normal for this time of year is 54°.

Like yesterday, we'll again see the potential for some fog and low clouds forming, which should only stay with us through mid morning. For the remainder of the day, we'll enjoy a mix of sun and clouds with very warm temperatures as daytime highs reach the mid 80s.

A balmy breeze will also develop out of the southeast today with winds coming in from 5-15 mph with some higher gusts.

A stray shower may develop during the heat of the day, but any shower activity will be pretty spotty.

We really don't expect to see too many changes in our weather through the next several days. There are no cold fronts set to arrive through the remainder of the week, and the long-range forecast models don't hint at another cold coming to Southwest Florida until Thursday of next week.

GUN CONTROL DEBATE-VO-WIPE

THE DEADLY SHOOTING AT A CONNECTICUT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAS IGNITED THE DEBATE ON GUN CONTROL.

NOW VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS HOLDING A SERIES OF MEETINGS,

LOOKING FOR WAYS TO STEM GUN VIOLENCE IN THE COUNTRY.

TODAY HE WILL MEET WITH VICTIMS' GROUPS AND GUN SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS.

TOMORROW -- HE'LL MEET WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION --

THE NATIONAL SHOOTING SPORTS FOUNDATION WILL ALSO BE there.

PRESIDENT OBAMA CREATED THE PANEL AFTER THE NEWTOWN TRAGEDY.

GUN CONTROL DEBATE-SOTVO

WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS SAY THEY ARE CONSIDERING PULLING ALL AMERICAN TROOPS OUT OF AFGHANISTAN BY DECEMBER 2014.

HOLMES DAY 3-PLASMA SOTVO

TODAY WE EXPECT MORE HEARTWRETCHING TESTIMONY ABOUT THE FATEFUL NIGHT.

THE FOCUS YESTERDAY, WAS

WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE THE THEATER INCLUDING ACCOUNTS FROM PEOPLE WHO FRANTICALLY, RACED TO GET OUT OUT OF THE THEATRE.

"I just wanted to look into his eyes and kind of see what I could read from him as a person"

PROSECUTORS ALSO PLAYED SEVERAL 911 CALLS.

ONE OF THEM, A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL SAYING HER COUSINS HAD BEEN SHOT, AND WAS NOT BREATHING.

THE DISPATCHER TRIED TO WALK HER THROUGH CPR AND COULD HEAR THE DESPERATION IN THE WOMEN'S VOICE.

HOLMES DAY 3-SOTVO

"What I would really like to see is them throw him in a room with a toilet and nothing else - a window so he can see every day that is passing. No bed, let him just sit with his thoughts

BECAUSE OF THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE LEGAL EXPERTS SAY A PLEA AGREEMENT IS POSSIBLE, BUT IF THE CASE GOES TO TRIAL, PROSECUTORS COULD STILL SEEK THE DEATH PENALTY.

HOLMES DAY 3-PLASMA

THAT RULING IS KEY IS DECIDING WHAT'S NEXT IN ALL OF THIS.

OTHERS WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL LATE FEBRUARY OR MARCH TO FILE WHILE THE I-R-S UPDATES FORMS AND TESTS ITS PROCESSING SYSTEMS.

THIS IS BECAUSE OF LATE CHANGES TO FEDERAL TAX LAWS IN THE FISCAL CLIFF DEAL.

SCOTUS DUI-VO

TAKING A LOOK AHEAD:

THE U-S SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR ARGUMENTS ON WHETHER POLICE CAN FORCE SUSPECTED DRUNK DRIVERS TO HAVE BLOOD DRAWN.

AT ISSUE IS WHETHER A BLOOD TEST CONSTITUTES AN "UNREASONABLE SEARCH," WHICH IS PROHIBITED BY THE FOURTH AMENDMENT.

MISSOURI PROSECUTORS ARGUE THAT BECAUSE ALCOHOL IN THE BODY QUICKLY DISSIPATES, POLICE NEED TO ACT QUICKLY TO GET A BREATH TEST.

"Influenza is a high fever, aching in every bone in your body a little bit of a cough it really can knock you off your feet for a good 4 or 5 days."

AND DR. MELODY MENDIOLA SAYS PATIENTS ARE ASKING FOR PRESCRIPTIONS FOR TAMIFLU TO SHORTEN THEIR ILLNESS.

"It would probably shorten it anywhere from one to three days."

BUT TAMIFLU NEEDS TO BE TAKEN AS SOON AS SYMPTOMS START.

"Within 24, 48 hours for sure really it doesn't do much of anything after 48 hours."

"Here's something to consider. If you are able to get to your clinic within a day of those symptoms coming on, you still may or may not be given a prescription."

"We want to try to make sure that we save it so that we have enough supplies and for the people that are most at risk so elderly people, people with chronic health conditions, really the people that are most at risk for being hospitalized."

YOUNG, USUALLY HEALTHY PEOPLE WILL LIKELY BE TOLD TO GO HOME AND REST.

MENDIOLA SAYS THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF TAMIFLU HERE YET, BUT.

GUN CONTROL DEBATE-TRX PKG

NATS - gun shooting or reloading

The White House is speeding up efforts to reach a consensus on new gun

legislation.

A task force on gun violence headed by Vice-President Biden will meet

this week with people on both sides of the gun debate -- victims' groups

and gun safety organizations today, and the National Rifle Association and

gun owners groups on Thursday.

SOT Jay Carney

"IT IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT CAN'T BE SOLVED BY ANY SPECIFIC ACTION. / IT'S A

PROBLEM THAT ENCOMPASSES ISSUES OF MENTAL HEALTH, OF EDUCATION, AS WELL AS

ACCESS TO GUNS."

With the one month anniversary of the elementary school shooting in Newtown,

Connecticut fast approaching, Washington has faced pressure to take

meaningful action.

Former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who was badly injured by a gunman two

years ago, is taking a prominent role in the gun debate.

Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, have launched an effort to push

Congressional action on questions of mental health, high capacity gun

magazines and background checks on purchases of a gun.

SOT Mark Kelly

"I BOUGHT A GUN AT WAL-MART RECENTLY AND I WENT THROUGH A BACKGROUND CHECK.

WHY CAN'T WE JUST MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY ILL

TO GET GUNS?"

The shock over the elementary school shooting has led many communities to

offer gun buy-back programs.

SOT- Dow Constantine

"IF WE CAN PREVENT JUST ONE CHILD, ONE INNOCENT BYSTANDER FROM BEING THE

VICTIM OR A RANDOM ACCIDENT OR TARGET OF AN USTABLE PERSON, IT WILL BE WELL

WORTH OUR TIME AND EFFORT."

But at the same time, gun stores say their merchandise is flying off the

5:52 FORECAST ON THE 2'S-WX WALL

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.

The warm, humid weather will stay locked in across Southwest Florida for the next several days, and there's even a chance we'll match or break today's record high of 85°.

We were only one degree shy of tying the record yesterday, and today will be another close call.

Even this morning, temperatures will be several degrees above average with morning lows only in the upper 60s and low 70s; normal for this time of year is 54°.

Like yesterday, we'll again see the potential for some fog and low clouds forming, which should only stay with us through mid morning. For the remainder of the day, we'll enjoy a mix of sun and clouds with very warm temperatures as daytime highs reach the mid 80s.

A balmy breeze will also develop out of the southeast today with winds coming in from 5-15 mph with some higher gusts.

A stray shower may develop during the heat of the day, but any shower activity will be pretty spotty.

We really don't expect to see too many changes in our weather through the next several days. There are no cold fronts set to arrive through the remainder of the week, and the long-range forecast models don't hint at another cold coming to Southwest Florida until Thursday of next week.
