FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FIRST ALERT 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.

COOLER WEATHER JUST AROUND THE CORNER

One more day of 80 degree weather is in the forecast for Wednesday, and some substantial weather change will start on Thursday.

The daytime forecast for Wednesday looks partly cloudy with a high of 82 degrees once again. This will make for 14 days of 80 degree weather this month!

On Thursday the forecast weather maps show a cold front moving toward Florida. This time the front is expected to move through the state and by Friday we will see noticeably cooler air move down the peninsula.

A few rain showers are possible on Thursday as the front arrives and high temperatures top out in the 70's.

Skies will be cloudy on Thursday and some lingering clouds will be around on Friday.

As you make your plans for the weekend, expect daytime highs in the 70's and overnight lows dropping back into the mid and lower 50's.

PHONE GERMS-ON CAM

BECAUSE OF THIS YEARS FLU FORECAST - WE'RE ALL THINKING ABOUT WAYS TO PROTECT OURSELVES.

ASIDE FROM FLU SHOTS, KEEPING A CLEAN AND DISINFECTED WORKSTATION AND WASHING YOUR HANDS ARE KEY.

BUT DID YOU KNOW YOUR CALL PHONE IS A BREEDING GROUND FOR GERMS?

PHONE GERMS-PKG

SCRIPT:

Some doctors say our cell phones are germ breeding grounds. We use them

constantly. But clean them?

Studies show our cell phones can be layered with staph bacteria,

fecal bacteria, and various viruses-

that can transmit pinkeye infections,

Diarrhea,

Colds,

And, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians- even the flu.

But cleaning your cell phone comes with a list of dos and don'ts.

I took an armload of cleaning supplies to KOMO 4 Engineer Trent

Sheppard- for help.

He says if you're thinking about using disinfectant wipes- be careful.

Not good for the electronics.

Instead- pick up some soft , lint-free cotton wipes like these at your

local drug store or electronics store,

and moisten the cloth with disinfectant. Then, use the dampened

cloth to carefully clean the screen and keyboard.

You may not get all the bugs, but you'll get most.

You can also pump a little sanitizer gel onto the cloth- not too much.

Or use a disinfectant spray- again on a lint-free cloth- never directly on

the

phone.

And never use paper towels.

As for how often to clean your phone - Trent point out- he's an engineer

SMALLER PAYCHECKS-VO

A NEW YEAR, AND SOMETHING NEW YOU'VE PROBABLY NOTICED ABOUT YOUR PAYCHECK.

YOU'RE GETTING LESS MONEY.

THAT'S BECAUSE CONGRESS DID NOT RENEW A PAYROLL TAX CUT THAT'S BEEN IN PLACE FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.

STARTING JANUARY 1ST, SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES WENT UP TO TWO PERCENT, TO 6.2 PERCENT.

SMALLER PAYCHECKS-SOT VO

"When you're struggling, it's a bigger chunk out of what you can buy and can't buy.

"Anything to help, because I'm retired. It'd help me. You know?"

PEOPLE MAY BE ABLE TO BOOST THE AMOUNT THAT YOU GET EVERY MONTH BY CHANGING YOUR INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING WITH YOUR EMPLOYER, BUT IT COULD ALSO MEAN YOU'LL OWE TAXES AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
