HERE'S A LIVE LOOK AT VATICAN CITY WHERE IT IS EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

SOT 152530
these huge moments of global church are interesting and exciting but if somebody's really going to connect with their faith, i think more than ever it's going to be a local community of faith that welcomes them / regardless of what's going on in the world around them.
THE CARDINALS WILL VOTE TWICE IN THE MORNING AND TWICE IN THE AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY.
A NEW POPE REQUIRES 77 VOTES.OR A TWO THIRDS MAJORITY OF THE CARDINALS.
Return to index of stories...
ACCORDING TO THE VOTING PANEL, THE IDEAL POPE NEEDS TO HAVE THE FOLLOWING 5 QUALITIES.
FIRST, THE ABILITY TO DEAL WITH THE FALLOUT OVER THE PRIEST SEX ABUSE SCANDALS INVOLVING CHILDREN.
SECONDLY,THE CARDINALS ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE STRONG ENOUGH TO DO SOME HOUSECLEANING IN THE WAKE OF THE VATI-LEAKS AFFAIR.
THAT SCANDAL INVOLVED POPE BENEDICT'S PERSONAL BUTLER, WHO LEAKED DOCUMENTS REVEALING WIDESPREAD DISARRAY AND CORRUPTION WITHIN THE VATICAN.
THIRD, THE GROWING PRIEST SHORTAGE.
MANY PARISHES, ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS, HAVE BEEN FORCED TO CLOSE THEIR DOORS BECAUSE OF THE SHORTAGE.
FOURTH --THE CARDINALS ARE LOOKING FOR A POPE THAT CAN RENENERGIZE THE FAITHFUL.
RIGHT NOW, ONLY 7-TO 8 PERCENT OF CATHOLICS ACTUALLY ATTEND MASS REGULARLY.
AND LASTLY PEOPLE ARE HOPING FOR A MORE CHARISMATIC LEADER THIS TIME AROUND.

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.
BREEZY AND DRY TOMORROW
Tuesday had a very gloomy feel to it because of the cloud cover and occasional shower.
It was all instigated by a cold front, and we are forecasting that front to clear the area by Tuesday night. That will open the door for a cool high pressure to build in.
What does that mean for our local weather? It means the next 7 days will be extremely quiet.
The high will help clear the skies Tuesday night, and that will give way to mostly clear skies on Wednesday. Morning lows will be in the mid 50s and daytime highs will recover to the mid 70s.
It'll also be breezy. Winds will be around 20 knots so if you are planning to go boating use caution.
The winds will continue to be brisk through Friday, but those winds will pull in some cooler air. Thursday we will start the day off in the upper 40s and only reach the lower 70s for highs under sunny skies. Friday will be our coolest morning with interior communities waking up to the upper 30s while the rest of us will be in the low to mid 40s. Highs on Friday will begin creeping back up - they'll reach the mid 70s under partly sunny skies.
The weekend looks great. We will see a medley of sun and clouds with the 80s returning.
