FORECAST-WXWALL

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.

We'll be leaving the rain chances behind for a few days now that some dry, stable air is starting to settle over Southwest Florida.

With the exception of just one or two stray showers, today will be mainly dry, sunny, and hot. In fact, as our rain chances dip for the rest of the week, our temperatures will be on the rise.

Today's afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 90s, and we'll tack on a couple more degrees Thursday and Friday as most of us warm to the middle 90s. Even though our upper atmosphere will be drying out, we'll still notice high humidity close to the surface, making those afternoons in the mid 90s feel like we're between 100-105 degrees.

With temperatures this high it's always possible for a rogue storm to develop during the heat of the day, but the chance of any one place getting hit by a storm will be close to 10% from now through the upcoming weekend.

Our overnights for the rest of the week will continue to be warm, muggy, and mostly clear with temperatures only cooling to the mid to upper 70s on most nights.

For the boaters and beach goers, our winds will be out of the west southwest for most of the day ranging from 5-10 mph. Seas and open waters will be at 2 feet or less while the inland waters stay fairly smooth. The water temperature at Fort Myers Beach is currently at 87 degrees.

After the weekend, enough moisture will build back into Southwest Florida to produce at least some isolated afternoon thunderstorm, so rain chances should start to bump up a little by Monday.

TALK ABOUT A FIND!

A WOMAN IN NORTH CAROLINA PICKS UP A LARGE CANVASS PAINTING AT A GOODWILL STORE,

TO PAINT OVER.

GOODWILL ART-PKG

"There's a southern expression, I just about 'bleeped' and fell back in it."

THIS IS A REAL TRASH-TO-TREASURE STORY.

CONCORD-ARTIST BETH FEEBACK SPENDS MOST OF HER TIME IN HER HOME STUDIO "THEY PEGGY" PAINTING COLORFUL CATS.

"I'm not a crazy cat lady, i'm a weird cat lady."

BACK IN SPRING, SHE AND HER HUSBAND WERE TRYING TO SELL SOME OF THE PAINTINGS AT AN ART SHOW IN OAK RIDGE, NORTH CAROLINA.

"It was so cold that day."

SO BETH MADE A STOP IN THE OAK RIDGE GOODWILL STORE TO BUY A BLANKET.

"While I was there I was like, this is goodwill, I've got to make a quick run through I saw the giant canvases, $9.99 each."

SINCE LARGE CANVASES CAN BE PRICEY-BETH BOUGHT BOTH- PLANNING TO PAINT GIANT CATS OVER THE ABSTRACT ART PIECES.

"I had started to paint over them a couple times without checking, because I thought, oh they're nothing, got them at Goodwill right?"

BUT THE PAINTINGS HAD WEATHERSPOON ART GALLERY LABELS ON THE BACKS.

A FRIEND ENCOURAGED BETH TO DO SOME RESEARCH.

"I had my laptop computer and I was like, honey look at this. Shell shocked."

20TH CENTURY ABSTRACT ARTIST ILYA BOLOTOWSKY'S VERTICAL DIAMONDS.

SOLD TO BETH FEEBACK FOR 9.99 AT A GOODWILL.

"He was a real big deal. A few Google clicks and i saw some of his paintings sold for $30k."

THE WEATHERSPOON GALLERY PROVIDED PROOF THE PAINTING WAS REAL.

THE WOMAN WHO PAINTS COLORFUL CATS CONTACTED SOTHEBY'S AUCTION HOUSE IN NEW YORK.

"Sotheby's emailed me back in a day and said we want to auction this off. We value it between 15-20k dollars."

"I have not worked since 2008, I got sick, my unemployment ran out. things have gotten really tight. We've dwindled most of our savings."

BETH SAYS SHE FEELS VERY BLESSED.

"I don't know if its a miracle, but its a darn lucky find."

A *SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE* IS WHAT'S CAUSING ABOUT SEVENTY PERCENT OF HEAD AND NECK CANCERS BEING SEEN TODAY.

HPV THROAT CANCER-PKG

JEFF HUSNEY ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS THE PICTURE OF HEALTH.

"I was watching my diet and nutrition as I was getting toward middle age exercise proper rest was always part of my regiment."

SO WHEN HE FELT A LUMP IN HIS NECK FIVE YEARS AGO HE NEVER EXPECTED IT TO BE CANCER. BUT HE SOON LEARNED HE WASN'T ALONE. IN THE LAST DECADE DOCTORS STARTED SEEING A DISTURBING TREND IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER PATIENTS

"Who were younger who had little smoking history if at all and were otherwise in good health."

BUT THEY FOUND A COMMON THREAD. PATIENTS WERE INFECTED WITH THE HUMAN PAPPILLOMA VIRUS OR HPV.

IT'S ESTIMATED THAT TWENTY MILLION AMERICANS ARE INFECTED WITH HPV. IT'S THE MOST COMMON SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE AND IN WOMEN CAN LEAD TO CERVICAL CANCER AND IN MEN THROAT CANCERS. INITIALLY JEFF TESTED NEGATIVE.

"Chances are the test was a false negative so HPV more than likely is the reason why I had this cancer."

"This is really a new cancer cause and because of its epidemic proportions this could be a major health problem."

BUT THERE MAY BE A WAY TO PREVENT IT. THE C-D-C RECENTLY RECOMMENDED THE HPV SHOT. GARDISIL FOR BOYS AGE NINE TO 26. IT'S ALREADY APPROVED FOR GIRLS. JEFF SAYS HE'D RECOMMEND IT TO HIS SONS TO AVOID WHAT HE WENT THROUGH.

"Just imagine yourself driving at night and somebody just flashing you with a camera flash pretty much in front of your face and that's what it felt like for two seconds."

LIEUTENANT FERNANDO REYES WAS FLYING ABOUT A MILE OFF THE COAST OF FERNANDINA BEACH WHEN HE WAS LASED A FEW MONTHS AGO. A LASER LIGHT AIMED INTO THE COCKPIT CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE PILOT AND CREW. IF IT'S THE EYE. IT CAN EVEN LEAVE YOU BLIND.

"We had one pilot with severe symptoms. He had headache, prolonged headache over the next few days, a little bit of vertigo kind of a dizziness where it affected his optic nerve."

"WHEN SOMEONE SHINES A LASER INTO THE COCKPIT, IT CREATES A GLARE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD SO THE PILOT CAN'T SEE THROUGH IT. IT PRETTY MUCH BLINDS THEM FOR A FEW SECONDS SO THEY ALSO CAN'T READ THEIR INSTRUMENTS."

"In the past 18 months we've had about 6 lasing incidents, 4 of which have happened on active search rescue cases."

THE SPIKE URGED LOCAL MILITARY OFFICIALS TO PARTNER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT TO RAMP UP THEIR RESPONSE EFFORTS. LAST MARCH, 18 YEAR OLD DEVON JOYNER WAS ARRESTED IN ORANGE PARK AND CHARGED WITH POINTING A LASER LIGHT AT A COAST GUARD PILOT. JOYNER WAS SENTENCED TO TWO YEARS PROBATION.

"The laser he did have was a large laser. It was not the laser pointer you get at Office Depot. This one was quite large and powerful and he had it mounted on a tripod."

AUTHORITIES ARE WARNING PARENTS IF YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER HAS A LASER ON A TRIPOD YOU MAY WANT TO ASK WHY BECAUSE POINTING A LASER AT AN AIRCRAFT IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE.

These kids love her / they want her home.

MICHAEL'S MONEY.

SOT: Howard Bragman.

STORM WARN GENERIC CLIP-CLIP

CROSSTALK-CAM 9 WX EST

FORECAST-WX WALL

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.

We'll be leaving the rain chances behind for a few days now that some dry, stable air is starting to settle over Southwest Florida.

With the exception of just one or two stray showers, today will be mainly dry, sunny, and hot. In fact, as our rain chances dip for the rest of the week, our temperatures will be on the rise.

Today's afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 90s, and we'll tack on a couple more degrees Thursday and Friday as most of us warm to the middle 90s. Even though our upper atmosphere will be drying out, we'll still notice high humidity close to the surface, making those afternoons in the mid 90s feel like we're between 100-105 degrees.

With temperatures this high it's always possible for a rogue storm to develop during the heat of the day, but the chance of any one place getting hit by a storm will be close to 10% from now through the upcoming weekend.

Our overnights for the rest of the week will continue to be warm, muggy, and mostly clear with temperatures only cooling to the mid to upper 70s on most nights.

For the boaters and beach goers, our winds will be out of the west southwest for most of the day ranging from 5-10 mph. Seas and open waters will be at 2 feet or less while the inland waters stay fairly smooth. The water temperature at Fort Myers Beach is currently at 87 degrees.

After the weekend, enough moisture will build back into Southwest Florida to produce at least some isolated afternoon thunderstorm, so rain chances should start to bump up a little by Monday.

KSC SPECIAL TOURS-2 SHOT

ONE YEAR AGO.THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM ENDED WHEN ATLANTIS LANDED FOR THE FINAL TIME AT KENNEDY SPACE CENTER.

NOW, AFTER THIRTY YEARS OF BEING OFF LIMITS TO THE PUBLIC.

THE BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES USED TO PUT THE SPACE SHUTTLE INTO ORBIT, ARE PART OF A TOUR AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER VISITOR COMPLEX.

KSC SPECIAL TOURS-PKG

FOR THIRTY YEARS A PRIVILEGED FEW WERE ABLE TO GET THIS CLOSE TO THE LAUNCH PAD AT COMPLEX 39A.

FROM HERE THE SATURN FIVE ROCKETS TOOK MEN TO THE MOON AND THE SPACE SHUTTLE TOOK OFF TO LOW EARTH ORBIT.

RETIRED NASA ASTRONAUT JON MCBRIDE FLEW INTO SPACE FROM THIS PAD IN 1984 ABOARD CHALLENGER.

"That morning you walk out here knowing that this is going to be the day. it's kind of a special feeling and I tell you what.when those engines start at six seconds before launch and the solid rockets boosters kick in at T-0 and you're off and running."

NOW, FOR A LIMITED TIME THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER VISITOR COMPLEX IS OFFERING TOURS TO THE HISTORIC PAD WHILE NASA IS TRANSITIONING TO A NEW ROCKET PROGRAM.

THE LAUNCH CONTROL CENTER IS THE NEXT TOUR. THIS BUILDING WAS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESSING AND LAUNCH OPERATIONS FOR APOLLO, SPACE SHUTTLE AND ARES 1-X PROGRAMS.

ENGINEERS MANNED COMPUTER DISPLAYS THAT MONITORED DIFFERENT OPERATIONS OF THE SPACECRAFT.

"This is great that you get to see the control room and see what the brains of the operation.what makes it all happen."

"During the tour guests get to walk by the launch director's console. It was the director's job to give the final go before the shuttle would launch."

IT WAS FROM THIS CONSOLE THAT LAUNCH DIRECTOR MIKE LEINBACH CLEARED ATLANTIS FOR THE LAST SPACE SHUTTLE MISSION.

"On behalf of the greatest team in the world, good luck to you and your crew on the final flight of this true American icon."

AND YOU JUST MIGHT SEE THAT ICON ON THE VEHICLE ASSEMBLY BUILDING OR VAB TOUR.

FROM NOW UNTIL LATE SEPTEMBER ATLANTIS AND ENDEAVOUR WILL TAKE TURNS IN HIGH BAY FOUR.

VISITORS I TALKED TO SAY THEY PLANNED THEIR VACATION JUST TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE SPACE SHUTTLE UP CLOSE.

"We were trying to show our kids how amazing it really is because I think today's day like they're just blase' about everything and they don't realize with computer games and all those things that this was huge."

"It's kind of cool to see it dirty and things like that because you get a better sense of how real it is.""it's unbelievable.it's history and it's really incredible to think that thing was was flying in space."

THE VAB IS 525 FEET TALL AND WAS BUILT TO STACK THE MASSIVE SATURN FIVE MOON ROCKETS.

THIS IS WHERE THE SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM ROCKET WILL BE ASSEMBLED. TEST COMPONENTS ARE ALREADY INSIDE THE BUILDING.

AND BECAUSE THESE FACILITIES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE USED TO LAUNCH ROCKETS INTO SPACE.THESE TOURS WON'T BE AROUND FOR LONG.
