<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>WARM AND HUMID WITH SHOWERS ON THE WAY
<P>It is a warm and humid start to the day.  Temperatures are in the mid and upper 60s and we'll see patchy fog for your morning commute, especially in the inland areas.  During the first half of the day, we could see a bit of sunshine peaking through the clouds.  Through the rest of the day, our weather will become more active.  We'll see more cloud cover along with showers and even a few storms moving into Southwest Florida with a cold front.

<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.WARM AND HUMID WITH SHOWERS ON THE WAY
<P>It is a warm and humid start to the day.  Temperatures are in the mid and upper 60s and we'll see patchy fog for your morning commute, especially in the inland areas.  During the first half of the day, we could see a bit of sunshine peaking through the clouds.  Through the rest of the day, our weather will become more active.  We'll see more cloud cover along with showers and even a few storms moving into Southwest Florida with a cold front.  This rain will likely stick with us through the evening hours and into the night.  The front will slide to our south by tomorrow.  If you are looking for more sunshine, Thursday will be your day, as the clouds move out behind the cold front.  Humidity will also be lower behind the front.  Highs today will reach into the lower 80s.  Tomorrow we'll be cooler; starting with temperatures in the mid and upper 50s and topping out in the mid 70s.  We'll start in the mid 50s on Friday and there will still be a good amount of sunshine to finish the work week.  Afternoon highs on Friday will be right around 80 degrees.  Through the weekend, we continue the warming trend with our highs going into the mid 80s.  Our next rain chance will be here late Sunday into Monday.

Highs today will reach into the lower 80s.  Tomorrow we'll be cooler; starting with temperatures in the mid and upper 50s and topping out in the mid 70s.  We'll start in the mid 50s on Friday and there will still be a good amount of sunshine to finish the work week.  Afternoon highs on Friday will be right around 80 degrees.  Through the weekend, we continue the warming trend with our highs going into the mid 80s.  Our next rain chance will be here late Sunday into Monday.

<P>IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.WARM AND HUMID WITH SHOWERS ON THE WAY
<P>It is a warm and humid start to the day.  Temperatures are in the mid and upper 60s and we'll see patchy fog for your morning commute, especially in the inland areas.  During the first half of the day, we could see a bit of sunshine peaking through the clouds.  Through the rest of the day, our weather will become more active.  We'll see more cloud cover along with showers and even a few storms moving into Southwest Florida with a cold front.  This rain will likely stick with us through the evening hours and into the night.  The front will slide to our south by tomorrow.  If you are looking for more sunshine, Thursday will be your day, as the clouds move out behind the cold front.  Humidity will also be lower behind the front.

<P>PKG SCRIPT:
<P>PRESIDENT OBAMA ARRIVES IN ISRAEL TO REPAIR AN ALLIANCE STRAINED IN HIS
<P>FIRST TERM.
<P>A FIRST TRIP AS PRESIDENT FULL OF PHOTO-OPS AND SYMBOLIC VISITS
<P>INCLUDING AN "IRON DOME" MISSILE DEFENSE BATTERY, AND THE GRAVE OF
<P>THE FOUNDER OF MODERN ZIONISM.
<P>SOT Jacob Eilon, Israeli Journalist
<P>"THE MESSAGE ISRAELIS ARE GETTING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE IS THAT OBAMA WANTS
<P>TO CONNECT WITH THEM NOW. SO I THINK MOST ISRAELIS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO
<P>THAT AND QUITE WELCOMING TO MR. OBAMA HERE."
<P>MAYBE WELCOMING -- BUT CERTAINLY SKEPTICAL.
<P>POLLS IN ISRAEL SHOW OBAMA DEEPLY UNPOPULAR WITH MANY ISRAELIS WHO WANT
<P>REASSURANCES FROM THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT THAT THE U-S IS SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR
<P>DEFENSE.
<P>MOS
<P>"I'D LIKE HIM TO CLARIFY HIS POSITION AND WHERE HE'S COMING FROM: WHAT IS
<P>HIS FEELINGS TOWARDS ISRAEL AND THE SECURITY OF ISRAEL."
<P>ISRAELI PRESIDENT SHIMON PERES AND PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU HAVE
<P>URGED THE U-S TO USE MILITARY FORCE TO STOP IRAN FROM GETTING A NUCLEAR
<P>WEAPON.
<P>PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE, BUT DIPLOMACY STILL HAS
<P>TIME.
<P>SOT Obama
<P>"RIGHT NOW, WE THINK THAT IT WOULD TAKE OVER A YEAR OR SO FOR IRAN TO
<P>ACTUALLY DEVELOP A NUCLEAR WEAPON. BUT OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T WANT TO CUT IT TOO
<P>CLOSE."
<P>ALSO ON THE AGENDA -- A TRIP TO THE WEST BANK FOR A MEETING WITH
<P>PALESTINIANS, WHO HAVE CLASHED WITH THE U-S OVER A DENIED BID FOR STATEHOOD
<P>AT THE U-N.
<P>SOT  Saeb Erekat, Chief Palestinian Negotiator
<P>"THIS REFLECTS THE DEEP COMMITMENT BY PRESIDENT OBAMA TO SEE THE
<P>IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION ON 1967."

<P>IT'S A QUESTION MANY PEOPLE ASK --
<P>WITH ALL THE TALK OF PESTICIDES AND HORMONES --
<P>MANY FAMILIES CONSIDER SWITCHING TO ORGANIC FOODS.
<P>BUT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS WORTH THE HIGH PRICE TAG?
<P>NBC'S LINDA BAQUERO BRINGS US NEW RESEARCH ALL NEW THIS MORNING.

<P>FARMERS SAY IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE TO PRODUCE ORGANIC FOOD. AND THAT'S WHY THEY COST MORE.
<P>BUT IS "ORGANIC" WORTH THE HIGHER PRICE TAG?
<P>COURTENAY SMITH IS EXECUTIVE EDITOR OF READER'S DIGEST.
<P>SHE'S ALSO EDITOR OF THE NEWLY UPDATED BOOK: "FOODS THAT HARM, FOODS THAT HEAL".WHICH RESEARCHED ORGANIC FOODS, INCLUDING THE RECENT REPORT FROM STANFORD UNIVERSITY-- A REVIEW OF TWO HUNDRED STUDIES.
<P>"So the conclusion right now is the nutrition benefits and the health benefits aren't proven yet." 
<P>COURTENAY SAYS CERTAIN POPULATIONS- NAMELY CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN-- MAY BE MORE VULNERABLE TO MAN-MADE PESTICIDES. 
<P>SHE CITES ANOTHER STUDY:
<P>"when kids stop eating conventional produce, and switch to organic, they can measure in their urine levels that there is a dramatically lower level of pesticides in just five days. You know, so again, I can't point to a health benefit to that, but my instincts tell me that's a good thing." 
<P>IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO GREEN, BUYING ONLY CERTAIN ORGANIC FOODS-- THE SO-CALLED "DIRTY DOZEN"-- MAY SAVE YOU MONEY. THEY'RE CALLED DIRTY BECAUSE THESE FOODS TEND TO HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF PESTICIDE RESIDUE.
<P>"Things like strawberries, apples, potatoes, celery. I mean these are things that kids eat a lot of."
<P>SO WHERE CAN YOU CONSIDER GOING NON-ORGANIC?
<P>"if it has a peel that you take off and eat it, you probably don't need to buy the organic version. You're probably getting a lower exposure to pesticides from things like bananas, oranges, grapefruits, watermelon."
<P>A NEW STUDY IN THE JOURNAL "PEDIATRICS" SUGGESTS PARENTS SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON GIVING THEIR KIDS "SKIM" MILK-- REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT'S ORGANIC OR NOT-- BECAUSE OF HORMONES.
<P>"the higher the fat levels in the milk, the higher the estrogen content was in the milk. This is true in both organic and non-organic."

<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.WARM AND HUMID WITH SHOWERS ON THE WAY
<P>It is a warm and humid start to the day.  Temperatures are in the mid and upper 60s and we'll see patchy fog for your morning commute, especially in the inland areas.  During the first half of the day, we could see a bit of sunshine peaking through the clouds.  Through the rest of the day, our weather will become more active.  We'll see more cloud cover along with showers and even a few storms moving into Southwest Florida with a cold front.  This rain will likely stick with us through the evening hours and into the night.  The front will slide to our south by tomorrow.  If you are looking for more sunshine, Thursday will be your day, as the clouds move out behind the cold front.  Humidity will also be lower behind the front.  Highs today will reach into the lower 80s.  Tomorrow we'll be cooler; starting with temperatures in the mid and upper 50s and topping out in the mid 70s.  We'll start in the mid 50s on Friday and there will still be a good amount of sunshine to finish the work week.  Afternoon highs on Friday will be right around 80 degrees.  Through the weekend, we continue the warming trend with our highs going into the mid 80s.  Our next rain chance will be here late Sunday into Monday.
