<P>Today's Weather Story
<P>THIS  WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF. 
<P>IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
<P>CHILLY START TO A MILD DAY
<P>The day started clear and chilly.  Our Friday looks pretty nice, though.  After the chill in the air to start the day, we'll see a whole lot of sunshine and temperatures this afternoon will warm into the mid 70s.  Winds from the NNE won't be as strong as the past couple of days; around 10 mph.  Humidity will be low, which will feel nice, but when combined with that northerly breeze, it sets us up for high fire danger today.  For Friday evening plans, we'll continue the clear skies, but it won't be as chilly as the past couple of nights.  Low tomorrow morning will be in the lower 50s with some upper 40s in inland cold spots.  Through the weekend, our temperatures will continue to rebound.  Highs will be in the lower 80s and lows will be in the lower 50s Saturday morning to the mid and upper 50s Sunday morning.  No rain is expected and humidity will still be rather low.  That means our fire danger will likely stay high.  Going into next week, there is a small chance for some showers on Tuesday, but even that doesn't look all that impressive at this time.  Otherwise, we stay dry.  Enjoy the sunshine!

<P>Alabama :34-:37 
<P>"Come Monday we need to move this bill." 
<P>WITH THE REST OF THIS YEAR STILL IN QUESTION- LAWMAKERS ARE ALREADY DEBATING NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. 
<P>PRESIDENT OBAMA WANTS A "BIG DEAL" THAT ADDRESSES THE LONG TERM DEFICIT. 
<P>HE'S HOPING SEVERAL SIT-DOWNS THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL PUT LAWMAKERS IN A BETTER MOOD TO COMPROMISE 
<P>"I think we've had good conversations, BUT ultimately it's a matter of the House and Senate both caucuses getting together. We'll see if we can do this." 
<P>REPUBLICANS HAVE PROPOSED SIGNIFICANT CUTS TO ENTITLEMENTS- SOMETHING DEMOCRATS OPPOSE. 
<P>AND DEMOCRATS WANT NEW TAX REVENUE- A DEAL BREAKER FOR REPUBLICANS.  
<P>REPUBLICAN LEADER MITCH MC-CONNELL PUT RESPONSIBILITY BACK ON THE PRESIDENT. 
<P>/ Sen. Minority Leader  1:17-1:19 
<P>"His job is to deliver the members of his party." 
<P>FOR NOW- LAWMAKERS APPEAR NO CLOSER TO A DEAL-  
<P>BUT THEY ARE MORE OPTISMISTIC ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF COMPROMISE.

</DIV><DIV DIR=LTR>
<P>Full Forecast
<P>THIS  WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF. 
<P>IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
<P>CHILLY START TO A MILD DAY
<P>The day started clear and chilly.  Our Friday looks pretty nice, though.  After the chill in the air to start the day, we'll see a whole lot of sunshine and temperatures this afternoon will warm into the mid 70s.  Winds from the NNE won't be as strong as the past couple of days; around 10 mph.  Humidity will be low, which will feel nice, but when combined with that northerly breeze, it sets us up for high fire danger today.  For Friday evening plans, we'll continue the clear skies, but it won't be as chilly as the past couple of nights.  Low tomorrow morning will be in the lower 50s with some upper 40s in inland cold spots.  Through the weekend, our temperatures will continue to rebound.  Highs will be in the lower 80s and lows will be in the lower 50s Saturday morning to the mid and upper 50s Sunday morning.  No rain is expected and humidity will still be rather low.  That means our fire danger will likely stay high.  Going into next week, there is a small chance for some showers on Tuesday, but even that doesn't look all that impressive at this time.  Otherwise, we stay dry.  Enjoy the sunshine!

<P>Day Planner
<P>THIS  WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF. 
<P>IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
<P>CHILLY START TO A MILD DAY
<P>The day started clear and chilly.  Our Friday looks pretty nice, though.  After the chill in the air to start the day, we'll see a whole lot of sunshine and temperatures this afternoon will warm into the mid 70s.  Winds from the NNE won't be as strong as the past couple of days; around 10 mph.  Humidity will be low, which will feel nice, but when combined with that northerly breeze, it sets us up for high fire danger today.  For Friday evening plans, we'll continue the clear skies, but it won't be as chilly as the past couple of nights.  Low tomorrow morning will be in the lower 50s with some upper 40s in inland cold spots.  Through the weekend, our temperatures will continue to rebound.  Highs will be in the lower 80s and lows will be in the lower 50s Saturday morning to the mid and upper 50s Sunday morning.  No rain is expected and humidity will still be rather low.  That means our fire danger will likely stay high.  Going into next week, there is a small chance for some showers on Tuesday, but even that doesn't look all that impressive at this time.  Otherwise, we stay dry.  Enjoy the sunshine!

<P>Weather Trends
<P>THIS  WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF. 
<P>IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
<P>CHILLY START TO A MILD DAY
<P>The day started clear and chilly.  Our Friday looks pretty nice, though.  After the chill in the air to start the day, we'll see a whole lot of sunshine and temperatures this afternoon will warm into the mid 70s.  Winds from the NNE won't be as strong as the past couple of days; around 10 mph.  Humidity will be low, which will feel nice, but when combined with that northerly breeze, it sets us up for high fire danger today.  For Friday evening plans, we'll continue the clear skies, but it won't be as chilly as the past couple of nights.  Low tomorrow morning will be in the lower 50s with some upper 40s in inland cold spots.  Through the weekend, our temperatures will continue to rebound.  Highs will be in the lower 80s and lows will be in the lower 50s Saturday morning to the mid and upper 50s Sunday morning.  No rain is expected and humidity will still be rather low.  That means our fire danger will likely stay high.  Going into next week, there is a small chance for some showers on Tuesday, but even that doesn't look all that impressive at this time.  Otherwise, we stay dry.  Enjoy the sunshine!

<P>YOU'VE SEEN THE ADS ON TV, FORMERLY FAMOUS ACTORS PITCHING SOMETHING CALLED A "REVERSE MORTGAGE".

<P>YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THE ADS. A FORMER, FAMOUS CELEBRITY. PITCHING A REVERSE MORTGAGE.AS A WAY TO GET MONEY OUT OF YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT SELLING IT. 
<P>BUT THEY NEVER QUITE EXPLAIN HOW.
<P>"Instead of you making monthly mortgage payments to the lender, the lender gives you a monthly payment, or a lump sum payment or a line of credit that goes against the equity in your home"
<P>IT'S MARKETED TO AN OLDER AUDIENCE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE OVER SIXTY-TWO TO QUALIFY. AND CONSUMER UNION'S NORMA GARCIA SAYS THAT'S NOT THE ONLY THING THE COMMERCIALS MAY NOT TELL YOU.
<P>It's a very expensive way to borrow money against their home, and it's a decision that needs to be entered into very carefully, if at all."
<P>EXPENSIVE BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR PROPERTY TAXES, INSURANCE, AND MAINTENANCE. FAIL TO KEEP UP AND YOUR LOAN COULD COME DUE. MEANING, YOU COULD LOSE YOUR HOUSE. 
<P>CONSUMER'S UNION RECOMMENDS ALTERNATIVES TO THE DEALS BEING PITCHED ON TV. LIKE LOOKING TO FAMILY MEMBERS FOR A KIND OF "IN-HOUSE" REVERSE MORTGAGE. 
<P>"So that everyone benefits that will actually result in preserving the equity in the home rather than shipping the equity off to the reverse mortgage lender"
<P>WHICH SHE SAYS CAN EASILY BE SET UP THROUGH A CPA AND A LAWYER.
