WINTRY FEEL THIS WEEKEND
It hasn't felt much like February, but that is going to quickly change. Cold air sits to our north and it is going to funnel into Southwest Florida in the next 48 hours.
The overcast skies are currently keeping our temperatures in check, but those clouds are going to gradually erode away as our winds shift to the north. That northerly wind will drive in the cold air.
So Saturday will start off mostly cloudy. However the sunshine will start to breakout as we go from the morning to the afternoon as our winds do indeed shift to the north. Rain prospects are low, but there is a definite chance of seeing an isolated shower. The cooler air won't come in on Saturday. Our lows will be near 60 and highs will be in the lower 70s.
Sunday - different story.
On Sunday we're going to see clear skies and wake up to temperatures around 40 in the urban corridor. Deeper inland temperatures could drop as low as 31. Despite 100% sunshine our highs on Sunday will only get to 64.
Monday morning lows will be just as cold. Interior communities will see temperatures near freezing while the urban corridor drops to 40 degrees. It'll be mostly sunny to start the week and our highs will get up to 74.
Tuesday through Friday will be partly cloudy and warmer. Lows will be getting to the 60 degree mark and highs in the lower 80s. I'm not forecasting a drop of rain for next week!
Enjoy.

CARJACKING IS A CAPITAL OFFENSE IF THE VICTIM DIES DURING THE CRIME.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SAY THERE ARE ABOUT 49-THOUSAND CARJACKINGS A YEAR.
MORE THAN 90 PERCENT OF THOSE ARE WHEN A PERSON IS ALONE.
MOST CARJACKINGS HAPPEN IN PARKING LOTS --
OR WHEN THE DRIVER IS STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS AND SCHOOLS.
With the increase in the number of carjackings, the federal government stepped in and passed a law in 1992 which states if a death occurs during the commission of this crime it is to be considered a capital crime. Due to the high incidence of the use of weapons when these crimes were committed, the government felt some action had to be taken to protect the citizens. Almost 90 percent of carjacking attempts involved the use of some type of weapon.
The Crime of Carjacking Has Increased
This crime has become one of the top in the nation as the number of carjacking incidents have been reported by the Department of Justice at about 49,000 per year. A high number of carjacking attempts are committed when the person is alone in their car.
The areas where these attempts were made are more often than not in parking lots of businesses and apartments, at intersections when the person stops for a traffic signal and at schools. The carjacker is similar to other crooks in the way they look for their prey.
They tend to choose dark areas where there are not a lot of people.
They look for someone who is an easy target.
They look for individuals who seem weaker than they are, or who will not fight.
The number of people who report the carjacking are not as high as one would think. For some reason, the outright theft of a car is more likely to be reported than a carjacking. The number of carjacking incidents in which the victim reported it to their insurance company was only 30%. Many of the victims have declined to give a reason for not reporting it to their insurance company.
What Can One Do to Protect Themselves?
When alone in the car, the best way to protect yourself from becoming a victim of a carjacking is to be extremely aware of the area in which you are driving. Parking as close to the door as possible whenever possible is another way of deterring the would-be carjacker.
When at all possible, ask a security guard or a male store attendant to walk you to your car. The carjacker preys on the solitary driver so another deterrent would be to have someone accompany you on your shopping trip or wherever you need to go.
Another way of protecting yourself is to lock your car doors as soon as you are in your car. This will prevent someone from coming up from behind the car and getting in while you are preparing to leave. If someone approaches your car when you are safely inside, blow the horn or start it and leave immediately. If you feel that your life is in danger do not let the car become more important. Let them take the car without a fight. It can always be replaced.
If you are the victim of a carjacking, do not hesitate to inform the police. This is a felony and the perpetrator can be jailed from three to ten years. The odds of finding your car intact may be quite good if you let the police know as soon as possible.

WEDNESDAY, CHARLOTTE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR GABRIEL PEREZ AND HIS DRAMA CLASS WERE WORKING OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM.
THE TEACHER ASKED A FRESHMAN GIRL TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE MAIN CLASSROOM.
"and another student volunteered to accompany her and they went back to the room where it was and that's where the incident took place." Mike Riley, CCPS Community Liaison
ARREST RECORDS SAY IN THAT EMPTY CLASSROOM, THE 18-YEAR-OLD SHOVED THE GIRLS HAND INTO HIS PANTS WHILE HE TOUCHED HER OVER HER CLOTHES.
"You would hope to be able to prevent something like that, but I think it's unrealistic to think that somebody could be, every second, watching 1800 kids." Mike Riley, CCPS Community Liaison
COMMUNITY LIAISON MIKE RILEY SAYS STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL UP HOW TO DEAL WITH VIOLENCE, BULLYING AND SEXUAL ABUSE.
"it's crucial for both the boys and the girls. So the boys know what the limits are; what they can and can't do and the girls know what they have to accept and what they do not have to accept." Mike Riley, CCPS Community Liaison
IN THIS CASE, THE VICTIM, TOLD HER FRIEND ABOUT THE INCIDENT WHO ENCOURAGED HER TO TELL COUNSELORS WHO CONTACTED THE POLICE WHO ARRESTED PEREZ THE NEXT DAY.
"it takes a very brave victim to come forward and report this." Mary Baer, Center for Abuse and Rape Emergencies
MARY BAER HELPS COORDINATE THE TEEN VIOLENCE EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
SHE SAYS STUDENTS CAN STOP INCIDENTS LIKE THIS FROM HAPPENING IF THEY SPEAK OUT ABOUT THE ISSUE.
"if people say no we wont tolerate dating violence and sexual violence then, we can eliminate it." Mary Baer, Center for Abuse and Rape Emergencies
PEREZ AND THE VICTIM WERE NOT DATING, ACCORDING TO POLICE.
PEREZ IS CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF LEWD AND LASCIVIOUS MOLESTATION. HE IS SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL.
