THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

FORECAST-WXWALL

RAIN CHANCES INCREASING

The vast majority of storms have been east I-75 this week. That's going to soon change and we'll all be in the mix come this weekend.

There's an area of low pressure stationed atop Cuba. It's essentially robbing us of moisture which limits our thunderstorm coverage.

It's heading westbound, and once it's out we'll see the air become more conducive for widespread rain. This will happen Thursday into Friday.

Yes, the upper atmosphere is a little dry as I previously mentioned, but the surface isn't. The humidity is oppressive, and it's not going anywhere. High temperatures will continue to be in the low to mid 90s and with high humidity values it'll feel over 100.

Wednesday will be partly sunny with stray storms firing right along I-75 and pushing inland by the evening.

Thursday will still be partly sunny with very isolated storms around the region.

Friday going into the weekend our winds will shift from the southwest to the southeast which will pin the sea breeze along the urban corrider. Scattered storms are expected, so be ready!

If you're hitting the waters expect winds from the southwest at 10 knots, seas 2 feet, and inland waterways will have a light chop.

RICHIE RUBEN HAS A PASSION.

FOR ALL THINGS SPORTS…

AND HE KEEPS IT WHERE HE CAN SEE IT. BUT WHAT HE DIDN'T SEE COMING WAS LIVER CANCER

"I thought actually it was a gall bladder problem."

IT WAS A TUMOR. SURGERY TO REMOVE IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION. SO DOCTOR WILLIAM JARNIGAN OF MEMORIAL SLOAN-KETTERING USED AN ORGAN POSITIONING SYSTEM. SIMILAR TO A G-P-S…THE O-P-S USES CAMERAS INSTEAD OF SATELLITES AS GUIDANCE.

"It's pretty much like the G-P-S system in your car where you can actually see the road, the route you are taking."

DEVELOPED BY ENGINEERS AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY THE SYSTEM USES AN OPTICAL PROBE TO SAFELY ENTER THE ORGAN'S SURFACE.

"Turns out in the process of presenting a liver for surgery, you deform it, you change its shape from what it looks like pre-operably."

THE 3-D MODEL MAKES IT EASIER FOR SURGEONS TO TARGET UNHEALTHY TISSUE AND STEER CLEAR OF HEALTHY TISSUES.

"It allowed us to place the probe precisely and deliver the energy that needed to be delivered to kill the tumor."

RICHIE WAS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL IN TWO DAYS AND BACK TO WORK IN TWO WEEKS CANCER FREE.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

FORECAST-WXWALL

RAIN CHANCES INCREASING

The vast majority of storms have been east I-75 this week. That's going to soon change and we'll all be in the mix come this weekend.

There's an area of low pressure stationed atop Cuba. It's essentially robbing us of moisture which limits our thunderstorm coverage.

It's heading westbound, and once it's out we'll see the air become more conducive for widespread rain. This will happen Thursday into Friday.

Yes, the upper atmosphere is a little dry as I previously mentioned, but the surface isn't. The humidity is oppressive, and it's not going anywhere. High temperatures will continue to be in the low to mid 90s and with high humidity values it'll feel over 100.

Wednesday will be partly sunny with stray storms firing right along I-75 and pushing inland by the evening.

Thursday will still be partly sunny with very isolated storms around the region.

Friday going into the weekend our winds will shift from the southwest to the southeast which will pin the sea breeze along the urban corrider. Scattered storms are expected, so be ready!

If you're hitting the waters expect winds from the southwest at 10 knots, seas 2 feet, and inland waterways will have a light chop.

TERRIBLE NATIONAL ANTHEM-OC

BRACE YOUR EARS FOR THIS ONE --

AN 11 YEAR OLD GIRL'S RENDITION OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM HAS GONE VIRAL ON YOUTUBE.

.AND NOT FOR A GOOD REASON.

SOME ARE CALLING IT ONE OF THE WORST EVER.

BUT HER PARENTS ARE BACKING HER UP.

TERRIBLE NATIONAL ANTHEM-PKG

Singing nats from Game

It was supposed to be her big break. And even this 11 year old knew she

blew it.

SOT Harper

"yeah, that wasnt my best performance."

Before a nationally televised major league soccer game. In a stadium

packed with 22 thousand fans, well, just listen.

More song

11 year old Harper Gruzins has been practicing for weeks.

Nat rehearsing

And it never sounded like that.

Nat rehearsing

She said she couldn't hear herself and was thrown off key by those annoying

horns so popular with soccer fans.

Harper SOT

I started to sing and was like that's the wrong key.

On Youtube, someone posted "my ears are bleeding." The website Deadspin

called it "the worst national anthem rendition ever. "so bad it must be

heard to be believed." "i wanted to feel bad for her but i can't" wrote

someone else.

Dad: What I feel like doing is just unplug her, take her out of

everything and just protect her.

Mom: Things people are saying are really heartbreaking.

Harper can take some comfort knowing she's not the first to have a star-

spangled struggle. One of her musical idols, Christina aguilara butchered

the lyrics.

And, well, Roseanne Barr butchered a lot more than that.

So this 11 year old is undaunted---already practicing new songs and not

TSA FOILS KIDNAPPING-PKG

HERE IN THIS AIRPORT SURVEILLANCE VIDEO OBTAINED EXCLUSIVELY BY NBC 6 SOUTH FLORIDA, THE VICTIM IS SEEN AS SHE ARRIVES AT THE AIRPORT TERMINAL.

TWO MIAMI TSA OFFICERS, WHOSE FACES CAN'T BE SEEN ON TELEVISION TOLD US THEY DETECTED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH HER.

Ray TSA Agent

"Once she came closer I realized she was black and blue on both sides of her face, her forehead, I noticed her shoulder looked like it had a big rug burn, like later on I found out from her that they had dragged her across the floor."

POLICE SAY THE FEAR CAME FROM A BEATING THE WOMAN TOOK INSIDE A FIFTH FLOOR ROOM INSIDE THIS HOTEL IN NORTH MIAMI.

DETECTIVES SAY THE WOMAN CAME HERE WITH A GROUP ON VACATION BUT IT TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE WHEN ONE WOMAN ACCUSED A VICTIM OF HAVING AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH HER BOYFRIEND.

POLICE SAY THE WOMAN WAS THEN BEATEN AND KIDNAPPED.

THE OFFICER'S REPORT INDICATES THE VICTIM, IN FEAR FOR HER SAFETY, MADE AN ATTEMPT TO RUN OUT OF THE ROOM WHERE SHE WAS DRAGGED BACK INTO THE ROOM BY THE DEFENDANT.

OFFICERS SAY THE VICTIM WAS FORCED TO GO TO THE BANK AND WITHDRAW FUNDS--THREATENED-- AND TAKEN TO THE AIRPORT FOR A FLIGHT BACK TO NEW JERSEY.

THAT'S WHEN THE TWO TSA OFFICERS TRAINED TO DETECT SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR THAT COULD BE AN INDICATOR OF A TERRORIST ATTACK, USED THOSE SKILLS TO SAVE THE WOMAN AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO GO THROUGH THE SECURITY CHECKPOINT.

Danielle, TSA Agent

" The way that she was acting we actually thought it was a case of an abduction because she looked very young."

"Once you got her out of the line did she ask for you assistance?"

Danielle, TSA Agent

"She told us to help her and to take her away from the people she was traveling with.

"After the woman told the officers that she had been beaten and kidnapped other officers stepped in at the check point and they went to detain four individuals --two women and two men."
