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.

It's a noticeably warmer Wednesday morning across Southwest Florida with temperatures in the low 60s and upper 50s, which is about 10 points higher than Tuesday morning.

The warmer start will be a sign of things to come today as daytime highs return to the low 80s and humidity continues to rise in tandem with winds coming in from the south and southeast.

We'll also notice more clouds mixing in with sunshine through our Wednesday, so skies will likely become partly to mostly cloudy at times after our sunny and clear start.

We're tracking a cool front moving into North Florida today, but this front will lose its battle with an area of high pressure, ultimately fading away before having a chance to make it all the way to Southwest Florida.

Without a front moving in, the result will be continued warmth and increasing humidity for us over the next several days along with a mix of sun and clouds.

Despite the increasing humidity, however, rain prospects will keep running pretty low with the exception of a couple stray, lonely showers Thursday or Friday afternoon, but rain really won't be a factor in our forecast all the way through the weekend.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON GAS-ON CAM

AN NBC2 CONSUMER ALERT.

THIS WEEK MARKS THE 19TH STRAIGHT WEEKLY INCREASE FOR GAS PRICES.

DURING THAT STRETCH, THE AVERAGE PRICE JUMPED 24 CENTS.

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR PRICEY TANK OF GAS?

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON GAS-PKG

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--

YOU DON'T NEED A HYBRID TO SAVE MONEY ON GAS!

BUT YOU DO NEED TO SLOW DOWN.

SO TIP ONE IS: DON'T DO 80.

BESIDES THE FACT THAT IT'S ILLEGAL IN MOST PLACES.

YOUR ENGINE HAS TO BURN MORE FUEL TO HANDLE HIGH SPEEDS.

SO SLOW SAVES DOUGH!

TIP TWO: GET PUMPED.

A LOT OF CARS OUT THERE ARE DRIVING ON DEFLATED TIRES, WHICH INCREASES FRICTION.

AND DECREASES FUEL EFFICIENCY.

SO KEEP YOUR CAR'S SHOES WHERE THEY SAY THEY SHOULD BE.

AT THE RECOMMENDED POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH OR P-S-I.

ALSO, MAKE SURE YOUR WHEELS ARE ALIGNED PROPERLY.

THAT'LL SAVE YOU BOTH ON TIRES AND GAS, KEEPING YOUR ENGINE FROM WORKING SO HARD.

THREE: LIGHTEN UP.

YOU'RE GETTING WORSE GAS MILEAGE WITH ALL THAT JUNK IN YOUR TRUNK.

I MEAN THAT LITERALLY--

GOLF CLUBS, HORSESHOES, GARDENING EQUIPMENT, DOG FOOD--

ALL THAT STUFF WEIGHS, AND SLOWS, YOUR CAR DOWN.

SO WHEN YOU'RE NOT HELPING SOMEONE MOVE, MAKE SURE THE SPARE TIRE'S ONE OF THE HEAVIEST THINGS YOU HAVE IN THE BACK.

FOUR: SMOOTH IT OUT.

ACCELERATING AND BRAKING UNNECESSARILY IS A DOWNER ON YOUR GAS TANK!

KEEP A STEADY SPEED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

USE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN IT MAKES SENSE.

GOT BRAKES? USE 'EM ONLY TO SLOW DOWN. RESTING YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL CAN RUIN EVERYTHING.

FIVE: SHUT IT OFF.

DON'T BE IDLE ABOUT IDLING. YOUR CAR'S BURNING GAS WHENEVER IT'S RUNNING, SO IF YOU'RE SITTING FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS, POWER DOWN.

THAT CAN KEEP YOUR COSTS DOWN.

AND YOUR WALLET AND YOUR GAS TANK, FILLED UP.

SUPERCHARGED MOTORS-VO

WE HAVE IMPORTANT INFORMATION THIS AFTERNOON IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING A NEW CAR.

A NEW REPORT SAYS DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND DON'T BE SWAYED BY A CAR THAT SAYS THEY ARE TURBOCHARGED.

THAT INCLUDES THE CHEVROLET CRUSE AND FORD FUSION.

A SPOKESMAN FOR GENERAL MOTORS SAYS THE CRUZE TURBOCHARGED ENGINE PROVIDES MORE POWER AND BETTER ACCELERATION WHEN COMPARED WITH NON-TURBOCHARGED ENGINES.
