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.

Chilly mornings, mild afternoons"

After a little bit of rain yesterday, we're in store for a pleasant stretch of weather with chilly mornings and mild afternoons. The last of the cloud cover has pushed across the far southern tip of the peninsula with clear skies across our part of the state. Lots of sunshine will be in store during the afternoon and this will warm us back into the upper 60s to lower 70s. Combine the below average temperatures, low humidity, and a cool breeze from the northeast and we're on track for a beautiful day as we close out the week.

Through the evening, temperatures are forecast to fall into the 50s under clear skies before dipping back into the upper 40s by sunrise Saturday.

Cool and dry high pressure across the southeastern United States will keep our weather pattern tranquil as we head into the weekend. Sunny conditions will dominate our skies both Saturday and Sunday, but the main weather story will be the cooler than average temperatures. Especially during the morning hours thanks to a reinforcing shot of some cooler and drier air.

DEMAND FOR GUNS AND AMMUNITION IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH AMID FEARS THAT WASHINGTON WILL IMPLEMENT NEW GUN LAWS.

AND NOW RETAIL GIANT WALMART IS PUTTING A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH AMMUNITION CUSTOMERS CAN BUY.

WALMART AMMO-PKG

THE WORLD'S LARGEST RETAILER IS LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF AMMUNITION SHOPPERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY CAN BUY. WALMART SET A MAXIMUM OF THREE BOXES A CUSTOMER, A DAY.

A SPOKESWOMAN TELLS C-N-N, "WE'RE TRYING TO SERVE AS MANY CUSTOMERS AS POSSIBLE.WE ARE IN CONTACT WITH OUR SUPPLIERS AND WILL LOOK AT OUR PURCHASE LIMITS ONCE THE SUPPLIERS ARE IN A BETTER PLACE."

AND WALMART ISN'T THE ONLY ONE.

A CABELA'S STORE IN PENNSYLVANIA TOLD US THEY ARE SETTING A LIMIT OF 10 BOXES A DAY FOR CERTAIN ROUNDS, MAINLY FOR SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLES.

THERE ARE REPORTS OF INCREASED DEMAND AND AMMUNITION SHORTAGES AT RETAIL STORES NATIONWIDE. FIREARMS DEALERS AND THE N-R-A HAVE A FEW HUNCHES WHY.

INCREASED GUN SALES SINCE SANDY HOOK.F-B-I BACKGROUND CHECKS, THE MOST DEPENDABLE INDICATOR FOR FIREARM SALES HAVE REACHED RECORD HIGHS. MORE GUNS MEANS MORE AMMO.

HIGHER TRAFFIC AT GUN RANGES.

THE BLUE RIDGE ARSENAL IN VIRGINIA SAID THEY HAVE INCREASED ACTIVITY, AND SHOOTERS ARE BUYING MORE ROUNDS.

"For the ammo that we sell, we're averaging around 80 rounds per customer, it's probably increased a little bit more recently."

AND THE THREAT OF INCREASED TAXES COULD BE A FACTOR TOO.

IN CONNECTICUT -- THE STATE WHERE THE SANDY HOOK SHOOTING OCCURRED -- THERE IS A PROPOSAL TO HAVE A 50 PERCENT TAX ON AMMO.

WHATEVER THE CAUSE, WALMART'S DECISION TO SET LIMITS ON AMMUNITION IS WHAT CONNECTICUT SENATOR RICHARD BLUMENTHAL WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN ON A BROADER SCALE.

HE HAS PROPOSED LEGISLATION THAT WOULD LIMIT AMMUNITION SALES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND REQUIRE BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR AMMO AS WELL.

locks in on an explosive training device on this man posing as a passenger

in a covert government test. Good dog. But at times the dogs fail.

Look closely at another TSA video-- see the woman on the left in pink. She

's got an explosive training divice in her backpack. But the bomb sniffing

dog walks right past her to persue a passenger who has nothing dangerous.

Rewind the tape, lets look again.

Right there the dog goes past the woman with the explosive training device

and keeps the tracking innocent passenger

SOT JEFF PRICE - YOU'RE USING DOGS IN WAYS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY

USED

We've all seen the new bomb sniffing dog teams patrolling through the crush

of passengers making their way in the nation's airports. A new GAO report

slams t the government for spending 100 million dollars on a new program

before knowing how well it would work.

-The report finds that the TSA really doesnt know how good the dogs are at

detecting explosives in a dynamic environment where people are moving in all

directions and there are a multitude of odors that might confuse the

canines..

- And the report FINDS THAT more than 700 CANINE UNITS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED

without knowing their effectiveness..

- In addition the report found some of the dogs are not getting the required

monthly training

NETFLIX STOCK HAS BEEN RECOVERING AFTER ITS PUBLIC RELATIONS FIASCO LAST YEAR --- WHEN IT SPUN OFF ITS MAIL ORDER DVD SERVICE INTO A SEPARATE BRAND AND RAISED PRICES.

SINCE THEN, LICENSING DEALS WITH THE LIKES OF DISNEY AND OTHERS HAVE CONVINCED MILLIONS TO SUBSCRIBE TO ITS INTERNET STREAMING SERVICE AT 8 DOLLARS A MONTH.

THE COMPANY JUST HAD ITS BIGGEST SINGLE DAY SINCE IT WENT PUBLIC MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO.

In terms of pure consumption volumes, we've already hit the stage that consumers are watching more movies digitally then they are physically. That actually happened in 2012.

A BIG REASON FOR THAT IS NETFLIX IS EVERYWHERE. ON YOUR PHONE, TABLET, SMART TV'S, COMPUTERS, GAME CONSOLES AND OTHER STREAMING DEVICES.

We describe ourselves as an internet television network, we program Netflix for our members. We really know what our members love to watch, we license content that we know are members are really going to love to watch.
