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.

We've got another delightful day on the way across Southwest Florida to kick off this first full week of February. Today's forecast will feature more of the gorgeous weather that we sunshine, pleasant temperatures, and comfortable humidity.

After starting with a little morning fog and temperatures as cool as the low to mid 40s, we're set to see an abundance of sunshine along with daytime highs in the low to mid 70s. Winds will become a little lighter today as our flow comes in from the east at 5-10 mph.

Tonight won't be quite as cool as temperatures across the urban corridor dip into the low 50s, but we could see some mid to upper 40s in some of the inland cold spots.

Temperatures will quickly warm as we head through the remainder of the week, and humidity levels will be on the rise as well. By Tuesday afternoon, daytime highs will reach the upper 70s, and by Wednesday afternoon most of SWFL will reach the low 80s during the afternoon.

As a result of the increasing humidity, more clouds will begin developing during the day through the second half of the week, but should still be in line for a nice supply of sunshine.

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.

We've got another delightful day on the way across Southwest Florida to kick off this first full week of February. Today's forecast will feature more of the gorgeous weather that we sunshine, pleasant temperatures, and comfortable humidity.

After starting with a little morning fog and temperatures as cool as the low to mid 40s, we're set to see an abundance of sunshine along with daytime highs in the low to mid 70s. Winds will become a little lighter today as our flow comes in from the east at 5-10 mph.

Tonight won't be quite as cool as temperatures across the urban corridor dip into the low 50s, but we could see some mid to upper 40s in some of the inland cold spots.

Temperatures will quickly warm as we head through the remainder of the week, and humidity levels will be on the rise as well. By Tuesday afternoon, daytime highs will reach the upper 70s, and by Wednesday afternoon most of SWFL will reach the low 80s during the afternoon.

As a result of the increasing humidity, more clouds will begin developing during the day through the second half of the week, but should still be in line for a nice supply of sunshine.

ENERGY DRINKS TEENS-VO

AND NBC2 CONSUMER ALERT.

ENERGY DRINKS ARE ALL THE RAGE - AND A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY.

THIS AFTERNOON - CHILD HEALTH EXPERTS SAY PEDIATRICIANS NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON HOW OFTEN TEENS ARE CONSUMING THEM.

CAFFEINE IN LARGE AMOUNTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK FOR ANXIETY, INSOMNIA, DEHYDRATION, DIGESTIVE AND CARDIOVASCULAR PROBLEMS IN TEENS.

ALLERGIES GEOGRAPHY-VO

A NEW STUDY SUGGESTS LIVING CLOSER TO THE EQUATOR MAY INCREASE THE RISK FOR ALLERGIES AND ASTHMA.

THIS ISN'T JUST BECAUSE OF INCREASED POLLEN COUNTS.

RESEARCHERS SAY THAT GREATER VITAMIN D PRODUCTION CAUSED BY U-V EXPOSURE MAY CHANGE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.

THOSE CHANGES, THEY THINK, MAY LEAD TO ELEVATED RISKS FOR ALLERGY PROBLEMS.

EATING TIMING AND WEIGHT LOSS-ON CAM

NEW RESEARCH FROM HARVARD UNIVERSITY SHOWS THAT IF YOU'RE TRYING TO FIT IN YOUR SKINNY JEANS, *WHEN* YOU EAT MAY BE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS *WHAT* YOU EAT.

EATING TIMING AND WEIGHT LOSS-PKG

IT'S THE FIRST LARGE "SCALE" STUDY, SAY RESEARCHERS, THAT FINDS WHEN YOU EAT, MATTERS.

PEOPLE WHO EAT THEIR BIG MEAL OF THE DAY EARLY, LOSE MORE THAN THOSE WHO EAT LATE.

"It makes sense. if you eat earlier the more calories you are burning by running around the rest of the day"

THE STUDY LOOKED AT EUROPEANS WHOSE BIG MEAL OF THE DAY IS LUNCH.

THOSE WHO DINED BEFORE 3 PM NOT ONLY DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY MORE WEIGHT, THEY WERE LESS LIKELY TO DEVELOP DIABETES.

THE TIMING OF OTHER MEALS AND THE AMOUNT EATEN DIDN'T MATTER.

"When it comes to weight control it's a calorie game."

OBESITY EXPERT GARY FOSTER SAYS DON'T SWAP YOUR BATHROOM SCALE FOR A WATCH JUST YET.

HE SAYS IF YOU EAT TOO MUCH AND MOVE TOO LITTLE, YOU'LL GAIN -NO MATTER WHAT.

A CALORIE EQUALS THE SAME AT 6 PM AS IT DOES AT MIDNIGHT

"If you change the time of day in which you eat your calories as long as your calories are constant it would make no difference."

IN THE STUDY THE LATE EATERS SKIPPED BREAKFAST, DR FOSTER SAYS THAT'S LIKELY WHY THEY PACKED ON THE POUNDS.
