6:02 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.

"A warm start to the week"

Yesterday's high of 84° fell a couple of degrees short of the record, which was 86° set back in 2005. Even though we didn't rewrite the record books, it was still pretty warm by January standards. Monday will be no different, as our unseasonably warm weather pattern continues with afternoon temperatures running eight to ten degrees above the average.

Early in the morning, temperatures will be at their coolest with most of us in the lower to middle 60s. Sunshine will be in control of our skies this afternoon with a few fair weather cumulus clouds scattered about as rain chances stay less than 10%. With highs forecasted to remain in the lower half of the 80s, it looks like our record of 86° set back in 1989 will remain for another year.

Not much will change as we head beyond Monday. In fact, the ridge of high pressure that has been in control of our weather over the last several days will maintain its grip over the area. It will keep us under a southeasterly wind flow, which will keep our afternoon highs in the 80s with lows in the 60s.

By the end of the week, a cold front approaching from the northwest will eventually breakdown this ridge of high pressure with a return to the upper 70s to low 80s. Forecast models are also hinting at an increase in the clouds along with a stray shower with the possibility of some cooler air filtering down the state by this time next week.

DEVELOPING THIS MORNING AS YOU WAKE UP --

A DEATH INVESTIGATION IN CAPE CORAL.

POLICE FIRST RESPONDED TO THE HOME ON NORTHEAST 18TH AVENUE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON FOR A WELFARE CHECK.

THEY FOUND A WOMAN DEAD INSIDE AND A MAN INJURED.

RESCUE CREWS TOOK THE MAN TO A HOSPITAL TO BE TREATED.

HIS INJURIES ARE NOT BELIEVED TO BE LIFE THREATENING.

POLICE HAVE NOT RELEASED ANY NAMES THIS MORNING.

WE SPOKE WITH ONE NEIGHBOR - WHO SAYS THIS IS VERY TROUBLING FOR THE AREA. Return to index of stories...

CAPE CORAL POLICE DO TELL US THEY PLAN TO QUESTION THE MAN AFTER HE'S BEEN TREATED FOR HIS INJURIES.

POLICE DO WANT TO STRESS THAT NO SUSPECTS ARE AT LARGE AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS SAFE THIS MORNING. Return to index of stories...


NEWTOWN ONE MONTH LATER-VO-WIPE


TODAY MARKS ONE MONTH SINCE THE TRAGIC SHOOTING AT SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

AND THIS MORNING RESIDENTS OF NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT FACE A DIFFICULT DECISION --

SHOULD THE BUILDING BE TORN DOWN, TURNED INTO A MUSEUM OR SHOULD IT BE RE-OPENED.

RESIDENTS PACKED A HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM YESTERDAY TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHERE 20 FIRST GRADERS AND SIX STAFF MEMBERS WERE KILLED.

MANY OPINIONS VARIED ON THE TOPIC. Return to index of stories...


NEWTOWN ONE MONTH LATER-SOTVO


I don't think we should expect the students who are most hurting or the parents who are most hurting or the teachers who are most hurting to have to enter that school again.

My best memories were at Sandy Hook School. I think that children in the future deserve to experience the same beautiful memories that I did and if we were to knock the school down we would be preventing future children from experiencing the same memories.

A SECOND MEETING FOR THE COMMUNITY IS SET FOR THIS FRIDAY. Return to index of stories...

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.

"A warm start to the week"

Yesterday's high of 84° fell a couple of degrees short of the record, which was 86° set back in 2005. Even though we didn't rewrite the record books, it was still pretty warm by January standards. Monday will be no different, as our unseasonably warm weather pattern continues with afternoon temperatures running eight to ten degrees above the average.

Early in the morning, temperatures will be at their coolest with most of us in the lower to middle 60s. Sunshine will be in control of our skies this afternoon with a few fair weather cumulus clouds scattered about as rain chances stay less than 10%. With highs forecasted to remain in the lower half of the 80s, it looks like our record of 86° set back in 1989 will remain for another year.

Not much will change as we head beyond Monday. In fact, the ridge of high pressure that has been in control of our weather over the last several days will maintain its grip over the area. It will keep us under a southeasterly wind flow, which will keep our afternoon highs in the 80s with lows in the 60s.

By the end of the week, a cold front approaching from the northwest will eventually breakdown this ridge of high pressure with a return to the upper 70s to low 80s. Forecast models are also hinting at an increase in the clouds along with a stray shower with the possibility of some cooler air filtering down the state by this time next week.

NEWTOWN ONE MONTH LATER-PKG


RESIDENTS PACKED A HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM SUNDAY TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHERE 20 FIRST GRADERS AND SIX STAFF MEMBERS WERE KILLED.

AS THE TOWN STRUGGLES TO DEAL WITH THE TRAGEDY, OPINIONS VARY ON WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH THE BUILDING.

I don't think we should expect the students who are most hurting or the parents who are most hurting or the teachers who are most hurting to have to enter that school again.

My best memories were at Sandy Hook School. I think that children in the future deserve to experience the same beautiful memories that I did and if we were to knock the school down we would be preventing future children from experiencing the same memories.

My 3 year old thinks his school is broken and that we're going to fix it. Personally my own opinion is I don't want to see the land and the building stay empty and broken. I want to do something with it whether it be a memorial park, i would support that.

THE MASSACRE AT NEWTOWN REIGNITED THE DEBATE ON GUN CONTROL.

VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HEADS A PANEL THAT WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO PRESIDENT OBAMA ON WAYS TO CURB GUN VIOLENCE.
