THIS RED TIDE BLOOM IS SHAPING UP TO BE ONE OF THE MOST DEVASTASTATING IN DECADES HERE IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

IT IS KILLING WILDLIFE.AND KILLING BUSINESS AT THE PEAK OF SEASON.

TONIGHT -

WE ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

WHAT CAUSES RED TIDE?

AND WHAT.IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO CURB ITS EFFECTS?

NBC 2'S JIM SPEE-WAK GOT THE ANSWERS.

RED TIDE MEETING-REM-26

IT'S NOT JUST WALKING ALONG A BEACH FILLED WITH DEAD FISH THAT EXPERTS SAY CAN BE HARMFUL TO BOTH HUMANS AND DOGS.

RED TIDE MEETING-VO WIPE

What is usually pristine and beautiful beach, continues to be a decaying bed of Dead Sea life on Sanibel island.

Nats-

Rachel fields is visiting from connexticut and had no idea the bacteria fish give off can be harmful to humans.

Debbie Bubley works for a major resort on Sanibel and says her phone has been ringing of the hook with concerned -- even worried customers.

Red tide OCCURS NATURALLY.

WE CAN'T GET RID OF IT.

Nat pop -

MORE than 200 people in Sanibel met Wednesday to find out why.

- dr. Barbara Kirkpatrick - scientist

28:42 it's the toxin that's the bad guy that causes the fish kill, causes that toxin to become part if the aerosol we inhale it and it irritates our airwaves 28:53

And for dog owners, experts agree when a bloom is near to keep man's best friend away from the water.

- dr. Barbara Kirkpatrick

29:33- if they swim their dog during red tide get that hose with fresh water, give them a good rinse right after exposure 29:43

But before the meeting let out.

Nat pop-

the most asked question on everyone's mind is with red tides lingering effects, what -- if anything can be done about it?

- dr Barbara

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.

After seven straight days of highs in the 80s, cooler weather will be moving into Southwest Florida over the next couple of days and into the weekend. Yesterday's cold front didn't bring much rain with it, but it did bring cloudy periods to the area this afternoon as it has stalled out across the southern portion of our viewing area.

Temperatures today were a bit cooler as they climbed into the middle and upper 70s and we did see a slight drop in the humidity due to a light northerly breeze. For the remainder of our Wednesday afternoon, expect mostly cloudy skies and couple of showers mainly south of the Caloosahatchee River as they roll in from the southwest off the Gulf of Mexico. Through the evening, expect a few of these showers to linger across the area as temperatures fall into the upper 60s to low 70s.

Tonight, the clouds should begin to break up across Southwest Florida with partly cloudy skies overnight. Temperatures will also be cooler as they drop into the upper 50s with a few spots reaching the middle 50s by morning.

By Thursday, we should manage to squeeze out more sunshine and daytime highs will remain on a cooling trend as they top out in the middle 70s. As another system passes across the state, Friday and into the weekend we'll notice our skies beginning to cloud up and temperatures will take a tumble. By Saturday we're looking at highs in the 60s with a pretty good chance of a few scattered showers to develop during the afternoon and into Sunday. Overnight lows will drop into the 40s through Tuesday morning with 30s deeper inland.
