HELLO-2 SHOT

GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO NBC-2 NEWS TODAY.

I'M JOE ROETZ

AND I'M KELLY CRESWELL

TODAY IS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY THIRD 20-13

WE'LL HAVE A LOOK AT TODAY'S TOP STORIES IN JUST A MINUTE.

WEATHER-WX CENTER

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.

It's another cool start to the day with temperatures as low as the upper 40s this morning, and we've got another very comfortable day on the way with daytime highs expected to return to the mid 70s.

Sunshine will dominate our sky once again, and humidity will stay very low. As far as our rain chance goes, it's pretty much nonexistent since the atmosphere is so dry and stable.

One slight change we'll notice today is the wind. The breeze will become a little stronger and more northerly through the day with gusts getting up toward 15-20 mph at times.

We're tracking another weak disturbance that will pass through today, which will mainly just replenish the cool air we already have in place. As a result, temperatures tonight will likely drop into the mid to upper 40s across urban Southwest Florida and as low as the lower 40s and upper 30s deeper inland.

Monday will be another dandy with plentiful sunshine, comfortable humidity, and daytime highs in the low to mid 70s.

Some changes will start to take place Tuesday as the warmth begins building back in. We'll notice a few more patchy clouds during the afternoon, and daytime highs should climb into the upper 70s by Tuesday afternoon.

From Wednesday through the end of the week, humidity will be on the rise along with our temperatures. Daytime highs should get back into the low 80s through early next weekend, and overnight temperatures will be on the milder side with lows only cooling into the low 60s.

A SOBERING STATISTIC IS REINFORCING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH.

FOR THE FIRST TIME SUICIDE HAS TOPPED THE COUNTRY'S LIST OF INJURY DEATHS.

WHY THE RECOGNITION MAY HELP PEOPLE IN NEED.

HEALTHBEAT-PKG

CALL IT A SIGN OF THE TIMES, ONE THAT DOESN'T REFLECT WELL ON THE AGE WE LIVE IN. A DISTURBING SHIFT WAS DISCOVERED IN DATA COLLECTED ON INJURY DEATHS.

DR. OMAR RIECHE/DIR. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER

RUNS:

4:01 It's now thought suicide is the number one cause of death.

DR. OMAR RIECHE IS THE DIRECTOR THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER. HE NOTES THAT SUICIDE JUMPED DRAMATICALLY AMONG ACTIVE AND FORMER SOLDIERS.

DR. OMAR RIECHE/DIR. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER

RUNS:

5:01 If we look at the numbers, at least 2.6 million service members have been involved in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. From that number it is estimated about ¼ may experience PTSD. With the tremendous amount of PTSD we think that has also increased the suicide rate.

AMY OSHIER/REPORTING

RUNS:

The CDC compiled injury death statistics from 2000-2009. It was in 2009 the rankings took a dramatic turn. For the first time, suicide overtook car wrecks.

MARK TESORO/TRAUMA ANALYST

RUNS:

3:51 Seat belt technology, the airbag technology, the safety technology in general has improved. All which which contributes to the CDC numbers.

THE SUICIDE RATE ROSE 15% IN THE LAST DECADE, WHILE FATAL CRASHES DROPPED 25%. HEALTH EXPERTS BELIEVE BOTH CATEGORIES ARE LARGELY PREVENTABLE. THE SHIFT IN RANKINGS MAY FOCUS ATTENTION ON PEOPLE WHO ARE AT THE BREAKING POINT.

DR. OMAR RIECHE/DIR. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER

RUNS:

8:46 You start to see difficulties in attendance in school, or attending to work, interacting with the family, losing control and becoming more angry.

TURNING THE CORNER ON SUICIDE TAKES A SHIFT IN MINDSET.

DR. OMAR RIECHE/DIR. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER

RUNS:

14:06 There's some real good active campaigns for the general population and for soldiers to say 'it's ok for you to get treatment'.

TODAY'S FORECAST-3-SHOT GRAPHIC

It's another cool start to the day with temperatures as low as the upper 40s this morning, and we've got another very comfortable day on the way with daytime highs expected to return to the mid 70s.

Sunshine will dominate our sky once again, and humidity will stay very low. As far as our rain chance goes, it's pretty much nonexistent since the atmosphere is so dry and stable.

One slight change we'll notice today is the wind. The breeze will become a little stronger and more northerly through the day with gusts getting up toward 15-20 mph at times.

We're tracking another weak disturbance that will pass through today, which will mainly just replenish the cool air we already have in place. As a result, temperatures tonight will likely drop into the mid to upper 40s across urban Southwest Florida and as low as the lower 40s and upper 30s deeper inland.

Monday will be another dandy with plentiful sunshine, comfortable humidity, and daytime highs in the low to mid 70s.

Some changes will start to take place Tuesday as the warmth begins building back in. We'll notice a few more patchy clouds during the afternoon, and daytime highs should climb into the upper 70s by Tuesday afternoon.

From Wednesday through the end of the week, humidity will be on the rise along with our temperatures. Daytime highs should get back into the low 80s through early next weekend, and overnight temperatures will be on the milder side with lows only cooling into the low 60s.
