FOURTH OF JULY WX-WX CNTR

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

A typical summertime weather pattern is shaping up across Southwest Florida for the July 4th holiday.

Our Wednesday will start off with a few patchy clouds early this morning, but mainly dry weather will prevail with temperatures in the upper 70s. With the daytime heating, expect an increase in the cloud cover through the afternoon hours as highs climb into the upper 80s to near 90° along the coast with a few locations pushing the middle 90s across our inland communities.

With high pressure in a weakened state across the area, moisture continues to move in on an east and southeasterly wind. Our seabreeze will begin to push inland during the afternoon, sparking a few hit or miss downpours, which by the evening hours could make their way closer to the urban corridor and the coastline. Like yesterday, most of the rain activity should wind down with the loss of daytime heating just in time for any fireworks displays.

Tonight, expect clearing skies and humid conditions as temperatures settle into the mid 70s.

FIREWORKS DANGERS-PKG

FIREWORKS DANGER, ON DISPLAY EVEN BEFORE THE HOLIDAY

THE QUIET OF THIS NEW HAMPSHIRE NEIGHBORHOOD SHATTERED BY LOUD EXPLOSIONS

LAST NIGHT WHEN SOMETHING WENT HORRIBLY WRONG WITH A HOMEOWNER'S ANNUAL

FIREWORKS DISPLAY.

THE FIREWORKS EXPLODED ON THE BACK DECK OF THE HOME, INJURING NINE PEOPLE,

SEVEN OF THEM RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL.

Lt. Brian McCarthy/Pelham Police

"arriving officers and firefighters found multiple people that had been

injured suffering from burns ranging from minor to serious"

AMONG THE INJURED - THREE CHILDREN

Chief James Midgley | Pelham Fire

"the extent of their injuries was moderate to minor and The two pediatrics

were severe"

OF COURSE BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR ARE ALSO A THREAT TO NATURE

20 STATES HAVE BANNED PRIVATE FIREWORKS ON THIS INDEPENDENCE DAY.

IN COLORADO, RECORD BREAKING TEMPERATURES, DROUGHT AND MULTIPLE WILDFIRES

ACROSS THE STATE HAVE LEAD TO A STATEWIDE BAN ON FIREWORKS.

THE FEARS APPEAR TO BE WELL-FOUNDED. ONE STUDY FOUND FIREWORKS CAUSED MORE

THAN 15,500 FIRES AND 36 MILLION DOLLARS IN PROPERTY DAMAGE IN 2010.

IN INDIANA, THE PENALTY FOR SETTING OFF FIREWORKS COULD BE SEVERE.

Zachary Dalton/Beech Grove, Indiana police

It's pretty much going to be a cat and mouse game, especially once the word

gets out that it could be a $2500 fine or a b-misdemenor.

FIREFIGHTERS SAY LEAVING THE FIREWORKS TO THE PROFESSIONALS IS THE BEST WAY

TO INSURE EVERYONE'S SAFETY.

PETS AND FIREWORKS-VO

WITH TODAY BEING THE FOURTH, THE S-P-C-A IS ASKING PET OWNERS --- TO KEEP THEIR PETS AWAY FROM FIREWORKS.

THE LOUD NOISES ASSOCIATED WITH A FIREWORKS DISPLAY CAN BE FRIGHTENING TO PETS, PARTICULARLY DOGS.

THE S-P-C-A ASKS OWNERS TO HAVE THEIR ANIMALS MICRO-CHIPPED OR AT LEAST WEAR A COLLAR WITH TAG -- IN CASE THEY RUN AWAY DUE TO THE SOUND.

PETS AND FIREWORKS-SOTVO

"I know it may be tempting to have the entire family, especially your dogs, out with you to the firework extravaganza. It seems like a great idea. But trust me, your pets would much rather stay at home in familiar territory, where they feel safe and comfortable."

"Every time I call them over the last four days, they act as if its the first time they've heard this information."

"We went out and bought a very expensive generator today."

"The biggest thing we are looking for is make sure you have life jackets n board. especially if you have youth."

MARINE PATROLS ALSO STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A WORKING MARINE RADIO. CELL PHONES ARE GREAT ON LAND, BUT AS BOATERS HEAD OFFSHORE THE PHONE SIGNAL WEAKENS AS THEY MOVE AWAY FROM THE COASTLINE.

"You gotta take that serious if you dont somebody could get hurt and killed."

"Be responsible get a designated driver for a boat just like you would with a car."

AND ON THE ROADS, EXPECT TO SEE INCREASED DUI CHECKPOINTS ALL HOURS OF THE DAY, ALL WEEK LONG.

"This an increased time period of enforcement which goes weekend to weekend."

AS FOR CELEBRATING WITH YOUR OWN FIREWORKS. TAKE THIS CHIEF'S ADVICE.

HERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS --

AS YOU'RE POURING THAT MORNING CUP OF COFFEE.

RESEARCHERS HAVE FOUND THE MORE JAVA YOU DRINK -- THE MORE PROTECTION AGAINST CERTAIN SKIN CANCERS.

COFFEE AND CANCER-PKG

COFFEE LOVERS, REJOICE ACCORDING TO A NEW REPORT PUBLISHED IN CANCER RESEARCH , A JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR CANCER RESEARCH, DRINKING MORE CAFFEINATED COFFEE COULD LOWER YOUR CHANCES OF DEVELOPING ONE FORM OF SKIN CANCER.

RESEARCHERS ANALYZED DATA FROM THE FAMOUS NURSES' HEALTH STUDY ON MORE THAN 112-THOUSAND PEOPLE. ONE FIFTH OF THOSE PEOPLE HAD DEVELOPED BASAL CELL CARCINOMA, THE MOST COMMON FORM OF SKIN CANCER, OVER A 20 YEAR PERIOD. INVESTIGATORS FOUND THE MORE SOMEONE DRANK CAFFEINATED COFFEE, THE LOWER THEIR RISK OF DEVELOPING THIS FORM OF CANCER. SCIENTISTS NOTED CAFFEINE WAS KEY, BECAUSE TEA, COLA AND CHOCOLATE, ALL OF WHICH CONTAIN CAFFEINE ALSO SEEMED TO CUT A PERSON'S RISK.

BASAL CELL CARCINOMA IS A SLOW-GROWING SKIN CANCER. ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT AS SERIOUS AS MELANOMA, IT CAN STILL LEAD TO PERMANENT DAMAGE AS WELL AS DEATH IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF.

DOCTORS SAY THIS DOESN'T MEAN PEOPLE SHOULD BE DRINKING COFFEE BY THE GALLONS. THEY SAY THIS IS JUST THE FIRST STEP AND MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHY CAFFEINE CUTS SOMEONE'S RISK OF DEVELOPING THIS FORM OF SKIN CANCER.

YOUR VOICE, YOUR VOTE-

WITH THE STRUGGLING ECONOMY AND A FIERCE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BATTLE UNDERWAY.

IT DOESN'T GO UNNOTICED WHEN THE CANDIDATES GO ON VACATION - EVEN DURING A HOLIDAY WEEK.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE VACATIONS-PKG

CALL IT THE POLITICS OF PERCEPTION. PRESIDENTIAL VACATIONS ARE ALWAYS SCRUTINIZED, BUT THROW IN AN ELECTION YEAR AND WHERE THEY GO OR WHAT THEY DO CAN OVERSHADOW THE MESSAGE AT A CRITICAL TIME.

"Politically, they can be double-edged swords."

RICHARD BENEDETTO COVERED THE WHITE HOUSE FOR USA TODAY FROM PRESIDENTS REAGAN TO GEORGE W BUSH.

"If you're vacationing at a time when things are not good, it doesn't look too good to the public and you have to be very careful at what kind of an image you do project."

MARTHA'S VINEYARD WAS THE OBAMA'S SUMMER WHITE HOUSE FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. THEY RENTED A PRICEY SECLUDED FARM AND OCCASIONALLY TOOK UNANNOUNCED TRIPS INTO TOWN FOR LUNCH OR A GOOD BOOK.

"These guys ran out of stuff to read so we gotta go see if we can grab them something."

BUT VACATIONING ON WHAT IS PARTLY A PLAYGROUND FOR THE RICH AND FAMOUS WHILE PAINTING YOUR OPPONENT AS AN OUT-OF-TOUCH ELITIST MAY NOT PLAY WELL WITH VOTERS.

FORMER PRESIDENT CLINTON AND HIS ADVISORS WERE KEENLY AWARE OF THE IMAGES AND PLANNED ACCORDINGLY.

THIS IS THE SUMMER OF '93. A YACHT RIDE IN NEW ENGLAND WITH THE KENNEDYS. BUT IN RE-ELECTION MODE, THE CLINTONS TRADED MARTHA'S VINEYARD FOR JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING IN 1996.

"It's wonderful. It's absolutely wonderful."

IT'S NOT JUST THE INCUMBENT WHO HAS TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT VACATION PLANS.

IN 2004, PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL SENATOR JOHN KERRY WENT WIND SURFING OFF NANTUCKET AND RAN INTO A WAVE OF REPUBLICAN CRITICISM.

THESE IMAGES WERE USED BY THE BUSH CAMPAIGN TO REINFORCE THE NARRATIVE THAT KERRY'S POSITIONS CHANGED WITH THE WIND.

"Kerry voted for the Iraq war. Opposed it. Supported it. And now, opposes it again."

REPUBLICAN HOPEFUL MITT ROMNEY ISN'T MAKING ANY CHANGES TO HIS VACATION TRADITION.

UNWINDING AT HIS EXPENSIVE LAKESIDE COMPOUND IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, WHERE CAMERAS CAUGHT ROMNEY AND HIS WIFE SPLASHING AROUND ON A WAVE-RUNNER.

THE LARGE FAMILY ALSO ENGAGES IN COMPETITIVE OLYMPIC-STYLE GAMES.

"Everybody knows he's wealthy. Everybody knows he's not like everybody else in terms of his background, and he wants to play up I think, the family image."

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

A typical summertime weather pattern is shaping up across Southwest Florida for the July 4th holiday.

Our Wednesday will start off with a few patchy clouds early this morning, but mainly dry weather will prevail with temperatures in the upper 70s. With the daytime heating, expect an increase in the cloud cover through the afternoon hours as highs climb into the upper 80s to near 90° along the coast with a few locations pushing the middle 90s across our inland communities.

With high pressure in a weakened state across the area, moisture continues to move in on an east and southeasterly wind. Our seabreeze will begin to push inland during the afternoon, sparking a few hit or miss downpours, which by the evening hours could make their way closer to the urban corridor and the coastline. Like yesterday, most of the rain activity should wind down with the loss of daytime heating just in time for any fireworks displays.

Tonight, expect clearing skies and humid conditions as temperatures settle into the mid 70s.
