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.

FUGITIVE FRIDAY-3 SHOT

GOOD AFTERNOON.

IT'S FRIDAY, AND THAT MEANS IT'S TIME TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOME OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA'S MOST WANTED.

FUGITIVE FRIDAY-(5) SS

We're starting out our list with a Fort Myers native who's spent the last decade getting in trouble with the law. Johnathan Hall was arrested for his first felony at age 16, after breaking into someone's home. The teenager then continued to make bad choices, leading to subsequent arrests for battery, multiple charge charges, grand theft of a firearm, dealing in stolen property and several additional counts of burglary - both armed and unarmed. A registered convicted felon, Hall is now on the run for violating his probation - yet another crime for which he's been arrested a handful of times. Now 26 years old, Hall was last known to be living in Lehigh. And upon his arrest, Hall will be held without bond in the Lee County Jail.

Also trying to dodge deputies this week is Lloyd Jones - who earned a spot on Crime Stoppers 10 Most Wanted list this week. Despite the fact that he's only 21 years old, Jones has amassed a lengthy rap sheet and is considered a violent felony offender of special concern. He's currently wanted for violating probation on the heels of arrests for battery by strangulation and carjacking. Jones is a very familiar face to law enforcement - with his first encounter just four days after his 17th birthday when he was caught carrying a gun. Shortly thereafter, he was arrested for armed robbery and carjacking - after attacking a Fort Myers couple, then leading police on a chase - all while carrying a loaded.38 caliber gun. Two months later, he was arrested for yet another carjacking, and then a third several months later. Jones, who is known to hang with a less than law abiding crowd, has also been jailed for drugs, battery and multiple probation violations. Jones is 5'5" and has multiple tattoos, including the words "City Choppa" on his right hand, the 239 area code with bullets on his left arm and the name Sharon on his neck.

And on the run in Collier County is Ricky Kunkel, wanted for violating terms of his state probation after being arrested on drug charges. This 51 year old fugitive is well rounded in the world of crime, with an array of arrests ranging from aggravated stalking, multiple counts of burglary, drug trafficking, DUI, and obtaining a controlled substance by fraud - just to name a few. Although his current warrant is out of Naples, Kunkel also has ties to Lee County - where he's been arrested 13 times before - and Tennessee - where he's been jailed on drug charges. Kunkel may be hiding out in south Fort Myers, operating under the alias of Joseph Plank.

And rounding out our list is a man with a history of violence and drug use - which is almost always a recipe for disaster. Daniel Orren faces arrest in Naples for violating probation on two counts of battery. Over the years, this 29 year old has been arrested for numerous counts of domestic violence, violating orders of protection, kidnapping, aggravated battery, drugs possession, fleeing and eluding officers and resisting arrest, among others. His last occupation was listed as unemployed, but he has been known to work as a waiter, a car detailer and a cook. Detectives believe Orren is still in town, and has family and friends helping him avoid arrest. Orren is 5'6" and has tattoos of the words "Tru Ninja" and "So Much Pain" on his left arm.

TWO WOMEN WITH THE SAME HEART CONDITION HAD VERY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES WITH THEIR DIAGNOSIS.

GO RED-PKG

Michelle Burke, Heart Disease Patient:21 -:30

S/ Mary Leah Coco, Heart Disease Patient 1:06 - 1:12

S/ Leanne Gregg, NBC News 1:42 - 1:44

SPENDING TIME WITH HER TWENTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER IS SOMETHING MICHELLE BURKE WAS TOLD WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO SHE WAS A BUSY MOTHER OF THREE. HER USUALLY PERKY PERSONALITY WAS BOGGED DOWN BY EXTREME FATIGUE.

KNOWING HER SISTER HAD DIED AT AGE NINETEEN FROM A HEART CONDITION, SHE FELT IT WAS TIME TO SEE IF SHE ALSO HAD A TROUBLED HEART.

"I went to actually 2 different doctors and they said to me, it's just because you have young children, it's your season in life, when they grow up you won't be tired anymore."

MONTHS LATER A DIFFERENT DOCTOR AGREED TO TAKE A LOOK AT MICHELLE'S HEART, AND WHEN THEY CALLED WITH THE RESULTS -- SHE WAS TOLD SHE HAD ONLY A HANDFUL OF YEARS LEFT.

"My doctor called and said Michelle, your heart is in terrible shape. You need to go to the hospital tomorrow at 7 am and be prepared to stay a while."

IN THE TIME SINCE MICHELLE'S DIAGNOSIS THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION'S GO RED FOR WOMEN CAMPAIGN HAS MADE GREAT STRIDES IN RAISING AWARENESS OF WOMEN'S HEART PROBLEMS, FOR BOTH WOMEN AND THEIR DOCTORS.

THAT INCREASED AWARENESS LIKELY SAVED MARY LEAH'S LIFE.

"I think I would have been a 30 year old mom pushing a stroller, and they would have found out post-mortum that I had heart disease."

LIKE MICHELLE, MARY LEAH WAS ALSO A BUSY MOTHER WHO WAS CONSTANTLY TIRED. BUT WHEN SHE TOLD HER DOCTOR ABOUT HER MOTHER'S HEART CONDITION, HE TOOK HER FAMILY HISTORY SERIOUSLY AND IMMEDIATELY ORDERED ADDITIONAL TESTS.

"It was pretty world shattering and life altering to find my heart was functioning at 10% of what it should be."

BOTH WOMEN ARE LIVING WITH THEIR CONDITION RATHER THAN SUCCUMBING TO IT -- SOMETHING THEY SAY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE AWARENESS AND RESEARCH GO RED HAS CREATED.

GO RED-TAG

90 PERCENT OF PEOPLE WHO REGISTERED WITH THE GO RED CAMPAIGN MADE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHANGE.
