FORECAST-WXWALL

RAIN RETURNING THIS WEEKEND

Moisture is beginning to entrench southwest Florida, and we'll notice it this weekend.

Partly sunny skies can be expected, but with an increase in moisture we will have a slight uptick in our rain prospects. They'll mainly be afternoon showers and storms. Sunday looks to be the wetter day as a tropical wave moves closer. This will give us a better coverage of showers and storms during the day.

Tonight, our skies will stay mostly clear with lows in the upper 70s.

Highs tomorrow will easily climb into the middle 90s with heat index values in the low 100s.

This will be a brief return to our typical rainy season pattern, before some drier and hotter weather returns by the middle of next week.

"I felt like I couldn't breathe. I couldn't even walk from one room to the other room in the trailer."

NANCY'S HANDS AND FEET ALSO BEGAN TO SWELL…HER DOCTOR DIAGNOSED HER WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE.

IT'S A CONDITION IN WHICH THE HEART CAN'T PUMP BLOOD THE WAY IT SHOULD. IT ACCOUNTS FOR 159-THOUSAND WOMEN DYING EACH YEAR…FOUR TIMES AS MANY WOMEN AS BREAST CANCER.

"Women don't have the typical symptoms."

DOCTOR ALI TABRIZCHI SAYS THAT OFTEN LEADS WOMEN TO IGNORE THEM… SYMPTOMS LIKE FATIGUE, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, SWELLING OR UNEXPLAINED WEIGHT GAIN.

"A lot of patients can get used to their symptoms. Shortness of breath, they may downplay and say well I'm just a little overweight or I'm getting a little bit older so I'm not going to walk as far."

THE DOCTOR SAYS EVEN IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE OF THESE SYMPTOMS YOU NEED TO BE EVALUATED FOR UNDERLYING HEART DISEASE.

THAT'S WHAT NANCY'S DAUGHTER GINNY DID. AFTER HER MOM WAS DIAGNOSED, THE FIT 50-SOMETHING STARTED GETTING SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND HAD HEART FLUTTERS. STILL…

"Never did I think, never did I think that it would be anything with my heart."

THE GIRLS WENT TO THE DRESSING ROOM BUT BEFORE TRYING ON CLOTHES, SOMETHING CAUGHT THEIR EYE.

IT TURNED OUT TO BE THIS iPHONE.

Reporter Standup: "So the camera was hidden like this inside the dressing room at the Kohl's. Hidden underneath a pair of men's swimming trunks.that camera still rolling when they found it."

POLICE SAY THEY GRABBED THE CAMERA AND THE MOTHER TURNED IT OFF.

POLICE LATER FOUND VIDEO ON IT, SHOWING ROYSTON POSITIONING THE CAMERA CAREFULLY TO TRY AND CATCH VIDEO OF THE GIRLS CHANGING.

THERE ARE ALSO PICTURES OF ONE OF THE GIRLS FROM BEHIND AS SHE ENTERS THE STORE.

"I would actually think that there should be more security around the premises."

REACTIONS TO THE MASS SHOOTING AT THE MIDNIGHT SHOWING OF "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" IN COLORADO ARE POURING IN. AS POLICE ACROSS THE COUNTRY BEEF UP SECURITY AT THEATERS.

CO MOVIE REAX-PKG

MANY OF THE THOUSANDS OF AVID "BATMAN" FANS WHO ATTENDED A MIDNIGHT SHOWING WOKE UP TO SOBERING NEWS. AND HAD THE SAME THOUGHT:

"It could have been us. it could have happened anywhere."

THAT'S WHY CINEMAS EVERYWHERE ARE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THEIR OWN SECURITY MEASURES, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THEATRE OWNERS.

THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE GUNMAN ENTERED THE BUILDING THROUGH AN EMERGENCY EXIT.

THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT'S PROVIDING EXTRA COVERAGE AT THEATERS WHERE THE "DARK KNIGHT" IS PLAYING THIS WEEKEND.

"We're doing that to address the potential of a copy cat event."

FRIDAY MORNING, CINEMARK THEATERS C-E-O TIM WARNER ASSURED MOVIE-GOERS THAT THEATERS ARE SAFE OVERALL. BUT SHARED THE SENTIMENT FELT BY SO MANY.

"I was shedding a lot of tears this morning. I just feel devastated."

A STATEMENT FROM WARNER BROS SAYS THE COMPANY "and the filmmakers are deeply saddened to learn about this shocking incident. We extend our sincere sympathies to the families and loved ones of the victims at this tragic time."

IN A BIZARRE TWIST -- A TRAILER FOR ANOTHER WARNER BROS MOVIE CALLED "GANGSTER SQUAD" WAS BEING SHOWN AT THEATERS NATIONWIDE, PAIRED WITH "DARK KNIGHT." ONE SCENE DEPICTS GUNMEN OPENING FIRE INSIDE A MOVIE THEATER.

IT'S UNCLEAR WHETHER THE PREVIEW WAS SHOWN AT THE COLORADO THEATER -- BUT THESE IMAGES WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EERIE PRECURSOR TO THE HORROR THAT WOULD SOON FOLLOW.

WARNER BROS. SAYS "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" TOOK IN MORE THAN 30-MILLION DOLLARS OVERNIGHT. IT'S NOT KNOWN WHAT EFFECT THE SHOOTING WILL HAVE ON WHAT WAS EXPECTED TO BE A GIANT OPENING WEEKEND.

FLIGHT EMERGENCY CAUGHT ON TAPE-OC

MORE TERRIFYING MOMENTS ON A PLANE.

AN AMERICAN EAGLE FLIGHT MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING IN CHICAGO AFTER

PILOT REPORTED SMOKE IN THE CABIN.

SOME PASSENGERS HAD TO JUMP OFF THE PLANE.

IT WAS ALL CAUGHT ON CAMERA.

FLIGHT EMERGENCY CAUGHT ON TAPE-PKG

THE IMAGES CAPTURED ON THEIR CELL PHONE ARE STILL STARTLING TO CHRIS AND MELINDA PYLE.

I'm definitely going to re-evaluate my life insurance and will. No joke.

THE PYLES WERE ON AMERICAN EAGLE FLIGHT 3773 LAST NIGHT FROM DENVER TO O'HARE WHEN THEIR PLANE WAS DIVERTED TO PEORIA BECAUSE OF WEATHER. THE TROUBLE BEGAN ON APPROACH MOMENTS AFTER THE LANDING GEAR WAS LOWERED.

Smoke started coming down from the ceiling, and then we got freaked out.

It was just an intense burning of my eyes, my throat.

THE CREW RADIOED THE TOWER:

Co-Pilot: Tower, flight 3773 declaring an emergency. We've got smoke in the cabin.

Tower: Flight 3773, roger.

MINUTES LATER, THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY. PASSENGERS SCRAMBLED TO EXIT THE PLANE SOME USING STAIRS BUT THE PYLES AND SEVERAL OTHERS HAD TO JUMP OUT.

The guy took the door off. There was a little bit of confusion as to what to do with the door. He was kind of just standing there with the door. What do I do? What do I do? And we're all yelling throw it! Just throw it out the plane!

We're standing on the wing of the plane. And it's far down to the ground.

Is there a ladder? Is there a chute? There was nothing, and there was no instruction really. So I just sat down and slid off the wing and turned around and caught my wife.

This is how we just got off the frickin' plane.

THE PYLES ESCAPED UNHURT THOUGH AMERICAN SAYS ONE PASSENGER INJURED AN ANKLE.

Crew: Yeah, I don't know if you guys heard, but we had a patient that tripped on the steps and they've got her in a wheelchair.

THE PYLES SAY THEY'RE JUST GLAD THEIR KIDS WEREN'T WITH THEM.

I'm thinking maybe we don't fly on the same plane at the same time.

Reporter: Just in case.
