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.

A couple more days of sunny warm weather is in store for Southwest Florida, and then things will start to get a little more interesting for us later this week.

Before we get to a few twists and turns in our forecast, today is looking like nearly a repeat performance of the sunny and beautiful weather we had yesterday and over the weekend. The only minor blemish will be some areas of low visibility this morning as some fog develops in spots. Once the fog fades, we're on track to see more sunshine along with some patchy fair-weather clouds, but there's no rain in the forecast.

Temperatures will be quite warm again considering we're in mid February; temperatures should easily exceed 80, and most locations will see peak temps in the middle 80s with a warm breeze occasionally gusting up to 15-20 mph.

As we head through overnight hours, look for more patchy fog to develop late, which could linger through mid morning Wednesday. Tonight's temperatures will struggle to get down to the mid 60s, so expect pretty mild conditions overnight into early Wednesday morning.

After another warm and partly sunny Wednesday, we'll have to contend with an incoming cool front that will stick around for a couple days. Thursday and Friday will likely bring cloudy skies along with some fairly promising rain prospects. At this point, rain probabilities look to be somewhere around 60-70%.

STATE OF UNION-PKG

President Obama's State of the Union speech tonight will focus primarily on

jobs and the economy.

It's expected to be different in substance and tone than Mr. Obama's

inaugural address last month.

SOT Stephanie Cutter

"THE ECONOMY WILL BE CENTRAL TO THIS SPEECH AND HOW WE GROW THE ECONOMY SO

THAT EVERYBODY CAN PARTICIPATE, A FAIR SHOT, PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE."

The President will push for additional government spending to promote

manufacturing, education, clean energy and infrastructure.

He'll also warn Congress to avoid the automatic spending cuts in Defense and

education scheduled to go into effect on March first.

But avoiding the automatic cuts and adding ADDITIONAL spending would require

Congressional approval -- setting Mr. Obama on a collision course with

House Republicans.

SOT John Boehner

"IT IS TIME FOR WASHINGTON TO LITERALLY GET BACK TO THE BASICS. WE CAN'T

CONTINUE TO SPEND MONEY THAT WE DON'T HAVE."

President Obama will also elaborate on some of the big themes from his

inaugural speech -- Immigration, climate change and gun violence.

POPE NEXT-INTRO

THE RESIGNATION OF POPE BENEDICT THE 16-TH HAS JUMP-STARTED AN ANCIENT AND SECRETIVE PROCESS TO REPLACE HIM.

POPE NEXT-PKG

SINCE NO POPE HAS RESIGNED IN SIX CENTURIES.THERE'S VERY LITTLE PRECEDENT FOR WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT AT THE VATICAN.

BUT THERE ARE A FEW HINTS.

THE PAPAL SPOKESMAN PROMISED AS HE ANNOUNCED POPE BENEDICT THE 16TH'S RESIGNATION THAT THERE WILL BE A NEW POPE BY EASTER.

EASTER IS THE 31ST OF MARCH.SO THE 118 MEMBERS OF THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS WILL HAVE TO GATHER IN ROME AND GET THROUGH THE BUSINESS OF ELECTING A NEW POPE BEFORE THAT.

THE SPOKESMAN ALSO SAID THAT THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS WILL NOT CONVENE WHILE THE POPE IS STILL IN OFFICE.SO THAT MEANS THE CARDINALS WILL NOT GO INTO CONCLAVE BEFORE MARCH FIRST SINCE THE POPE IS OFFICIALLY STEPPING DOWN FEBRUARY 28-TH.

THE ELECTION PROCESS ITSELF COULD BE QUITE SHORT.

WITH JET TRAVEL IT NO LONGER TAKES WEEKS FOR THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS TO GATHER, IN FACT THEY CAN ARRIVE VERY EARLY IN MARCH

WHAT WILL BE MISSING WITH THIS POPE'S RESIGNATION IS THE PERIOD OF MOURNING AND REFLECTION THAT TAKES PLACE WHEN A POPE DIES.

IT IS STILL AN OPEN QUESTION WHETHER THE CARDINALS WILL IMMEDIATELY GATHER AND GO INTO CONCLAVE OR TAKE A FEW DAYS TO GET INTO THE MOOD FOR ELECTING A POPE.

ALSO UNCLEAR IS WHETHER WITHOUT A MORNING PERIOD THERE WOULD BE TIME IN THE SCHEDULE FOR THE QUIET INFORMAL GATHERINGS OF CARDINALS WHICH HAVE IN THE PAST BEEN A TIME WHEN THE MEN WHO WILL ELECT THE NEXT POPE SIZE UP THE MEASURE OF THEIR FELLOW CARDINALS…PERHAPS COMING TO SOME EARLY CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE ONE AMONG THEM WHO COULD MAKE THE BEST LEADER OF THE CHURCH.

THE CONCLAVE BEGINS WHEN THE CARDINALS FILE INTO THE SISTINE CHAPEL AND THE DOORS ARE LOCKED BEHIND THEM SO THEY CAN CONDUCT THEIR VOTE IN SECRET.

IN ANCIENT TIMES THE CONCLAVES SOMETIMES WENT VERY LONG.IT TOOK NEARLY THREE YEARS IN 13TH CENTURY TO ELECT POPE GREGORY THE 10TH.

BUT SOME HAVE GONE LESS THAN TWENTY FOUR HOURS AND IN MODERN TIMES THEY HAVE TYPICALLY LASTED JUST A FEW DAYS.

CARDINAL RATZINGER WAS ELECTED POPE BENEDICT THE 16TH WITH ONLY FOUR ROUNDS OF VOTING IN JUST 24 HOURS.

ALSO SHORTENING THE PROCESS… WITH MODERN COMMUNICATIONS - THE CARDINALS KNOW FAR MORE ABOUT EACH OTHER AND THEIR QUALITIES THAN THEY HAVE IN THE PAST.

AND AS WELL SINCE 67 OF THE 118 CARDINALS WERE PERSONALLY SELECTED BY BENEDICT OVER THE PAST SEVEN YEARS, IT SEEMS VERY LIKELY THAT THEY'LL ENTER THE CONCLAVE WITH SOME LIKE MINDEDNESS ABOUT WHO WOULD BE THE NEXT SUCCESSOR

WHO SHOT OSAMA BIN LADEN, AND HOW DID HE DIE? WE THOUGHT WE KNEW. FROM ACCOUNTS OF THE REAL RAID.

"The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden."

TO THE HOLLYWOOD MOVIE

Nats

BUT AN ESQUIRE MAGAZINE INTERVIEW WITH A MEMBER OF THE SEAL TEAM IS RAISING NEW QUESTIONS: ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT THIRD FLOOR OF BIN LADEN'S COMPOUND. ESQUIRE SIMPLY CALLS HIM "THE SHOOTER." AND SAYS HE FIRED THE SHOTS THAT KILLED BIN LADEN.

"He was very unused to this idea of shooting up, so he wasn't prepared for somebody quite as tall, bin Laden was much taller that he expected, so he talks about having to aim his gun up."

THE SHOOTER SAYS AFTER HIS POINT MAN SHOT AND MISSED FROM THE 2ND LEVEL, BOTH MEN CLIMBED THE STAIRS TO BIN LADEN'S BEDROOM. AS THE POINT MAN PEELED OFF IN THE HALLWAY TO SUBDUE TWO OF BIN LADEN'S SCREAMING WIVES, THE SHOOTER ENTERED THE ROOM.

'THERE WAS BIN LADEN STANDING THERE. HE HAD HIS HANDS ON A WOMAN'S SHOULDERS, PUSHING HER AHEAD. NOT EXACTLY TOWARD ME, BUT BY ME.MAYBE AS A SHIELD, I DON'T KNOW. HE'S GOT A GUN ON A SHELF RIGHT THERE, THE SHORT AK HE'S FAMOUS FOR.'

"He shot him in the forehead and another time in the forehead as he was going down and then a third time in the forehead when he was at the foot of his bed obviously probably already dead."

BUT THAT ACCOUNT CONFLICTS WITH ANOTHER SEAL ON THE RAID, WHO SPOKE WITH 60 MINUTES LAST YEAR.

"You're right behind the point man. Yep. I'm kinda trying to look around him. Hear him take a couple shots. Kind of see a head - somebody disappear back into the room."

IN HIS BOOK, MATT BISSONNETTE SAYS WHEN THEY ENTERED THE BEDROOM, BIN LADEN WAS DOWN ON THE FLOOR ALREADY DEAD.

QUOTE, "THE POINT MAN'S SHOTS HAD ENTERED THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS HEAD."

CNN CAN'T VERIFY EITHER STORY. BUT OUR SOURCES SAY THE SHOOTER'S ACCOUNT IS MORE CREDIBLE, AND THAT BIN LADEN WAS ALIVE AND STANDING WHEN THE SEALS ENTERED THE ROOM.

SO WHY COME FORWARD NOW?

BECAUSE PRESIDENT OBAMA GOT ACCOLADES FOR AUTHORIZING THE MISSION. BISSONNETTE'S BOOK HIT THE BESTSELLER LIST. AND ZERO DARK THIRTY RAKED IN MILLIONS AND AWARDS.

BUT THE SHOOTER HIMSELF? HE'S OUT OF THE NAVY AND STRUGGLING TO FILE A DISABILITY CLAIM.

WEATHER-WX WALL

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.

A couple more days of sunny warm weather is in store for Southwest Florida, and then things will start to get a little more interesting for us later this week.

Before we get to a few twists and turns in our forecast, today is looking like nearly a repeat performance of the sunny and beautiful weather we had yesterday and over the weekend. The only minor blemish will be some areas of low visibility this morning as some fog develops in spots. Once the fog fades, we're on track to see more sunshine along with some patchy fair-weather clouds, but there's no rain in the forecast.

Temperatures will be quite warm again considering we're in mid February; temperatures should easily exceed 80, and most locations will see peak temps in the middle 80s with a warm breeze occasionally gusting up to 15-20 mph.

As we head through overnight hours, look for more patchy fog to develop late, which could linger through mid morning Wednesday. Tonight's temperatures will struggle to get down to the mid 60s, so expect pretty mild conditions overnight into early Wednesday morning.

After another warm and partly sunny Wednesday, we'll have to contend with an incoming cool front that will stick around for a couple days. Thursday and Friday will likely bring cloudy skies along with some fairly promising rain prospects. At this point, rain probabilities look to be somewhere around 60-70%.

MEDAL OF HONOR-PKG

For Clint Romesha a high honor -- and a heavy burden for an American hero --

CLINT, THIS IS OUR NATION'S HIGHEST MILITARY DECORATION. IT REFLECTS THE

GRATITUDE OF OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY.

This video was shot by the Taliban on the day that Army Staff Sgt. Romesha

helped repel their Taliban attack -- more than three hundred enemy fighters

against his unit of just 53 men -- defending an outpost the president today

called "tactically indefensible."

OBAMA:

THESE MEN WERE OUTNUMBERED, OUTGUNNED AND ALMOST OVER-RUN.

He's credited for retaking the outpost, and helping save many of his

brothers in arms. but more than 20, including Romesha were injured and

eight were killed.

Their families were here. and Romesha spoke to us about about them just

before today's ceremony.

JK:

THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT YOUR FALLEN COMRADES ARE GOING TO BE IN THAT ROOM WITH

YOU.

CR:

THEY'LL BE THERE, I JUST KNOW IT.

Many of his fellow soldiers were here today -- Romesha told told the medal

belongs to them too.

A somber occasion to be sure. although Romesha's 18-month old son Colin

nearly stole the show before it started --

NATS: LAUGHTER

JK:

YOU'RE OUT OF THE MILITARY, WHAT ARE YOUR DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS AND HOPES

NOW?

CR:
