SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE MOVING ACROSS THE STATE,

COMING FROM MIAMI.

STORM WARN 7 METEOROLOGIST ALLYSON RAE TRACKS THE RAIN -

TO FIND OUT WHEN IT HITS SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

FIRST WEATHER-STC

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.

Storms will be plentiful today as a band of moist air from the tropics passes over Southwest Florida, triggering numerous showers and storms this afternoon. It looks as though this moisture air will be moving over South Florida just the atmosphere is heating up, so there will be plenty of energy in place for the rain and storms to work with. Today's storms will be capable of producing very heavy rain along with intense lightning and gusty winds.

Aside from what's looking to be a stormy afternoon, our morning looks to be fairly quiet. We may see a few isolated showers on the radar throughout the morning, but most of us will be in store for sunny skies until the stormy weather begins around the midday hours.

With all the rain expected to develop today, temperatures will be kept a bit lower compared to previous days. Our daytime highs should top out in the low to mid 90s.

By tonight, some lingering rain will be possible, but we should see the storms shrink in coverage by sunset.

By Tuesday morning, a few coastal showers will be possible, and then we'll see another round of scattered rain and storms by the afternoon. The storms will probably cover less ground Tuesday as drier air starts to cut into our rain chances.

Wednesday will likely be the driest day of the week, but we still can't rule out a few isolated storms during the afternoon.

In the tropics, Ernesto is showing signs of becoming better organized again, and we'll have to see if this will eventually translate into stronger winds today. The thinking on the path of Ernesto remains unchanged. The storm will continue its westward movement and eventually make landfall over the Yucatan peninsula Tuesday night. Ernesto may then re-emerge into the Bay of Campeche Thursday before finally moving into Central Mexico by the end of the week.

"I broke my ribs, my sternum, my neck, my face from here up."

CHANCE ALSO SUFFERED A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY SO HE WENT UNDER MONTHS OF THERAPY.

"Chance had to learn to breathe again he had to learn to eat again he had to learn to speak with proper voice inflection."

THE BRAIN INJURY ALSO AFFECTED HIS PERSONALITY.

"Often times we have that the frontal lobe is affected and that can deal with a lot of issues such as someone's behavior, someone's memory, also just controlling of their emotions."

THIS "SECOND CHANCE" GRIPPED HIS HOMETOWN GANADO. SOUTHWEST OF HOUSTON. FAMILY AND FRIENDS CREATED THE FOUNDATION "UNSEND-DOT-ORG" TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT DISTRACTED DRIVING.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AND REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE MITT ROMNEY -- ARE BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL-

IT'S HOT OUTSIDE!

AND THAT MEANS WE ARE ALL SWEATING A LITTLE MORE-

SWEATING IS HEALTHY-CAM 10 BMP- 2 SHOT

IT'S HOT.AND THAT MEANS MANY OF US MAY BE PERSPIRING A LITTLE.

BUT DOCTORS SAY WHEN WE GET WARM, IT'S GOOD TO SWEAT.

SWEATING KEEPS US HEALTHY.

SWEATING IS HEALTHY-PKG

CATHERINE LOWRY BELIEVES IN EXERCISE.

YET, EVEN THOUGH SHE WORKS HARD ENOUGH TO SWEAT, SHE DOESN'T, WHICH CAN LEAD TO PROBLEMS.

It's the after affect, I never quiet cool down, a headache will set in and i feel like i have the flu.

THAT'S BECAUSE SWEATING MAINTAINS OUR BODY'S TEMPERATURE BY COOLING US DOWN.

WHEN WE'RE HOT AND WE SWEAT, MOISTURE EVAPORATES AND COOLS US OFF.

WHEN WE DON'T SWEAT ENOUGH, WE CAN OVERHEAT.

There can be complications with heat stroke, heat exhaustion, mind doesn't tend to work very well, kidneys can suffer, various other things.

AND NOT ALL OF US SWEAT THE SAME WAY.

MEN SWEAT MORE THAN WOMEN BECAUSE FEMALES SWEAT AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE, CAUSING LESS PERSPIRATION.

AND PEOPLE WHO ARE OVERWEIGHT SWEAT MORE, BECAUSE FAT ACTS AS AN INSULATOR THAT RAISES THE TEMPERATURE IN THE BODY.

SOME PEOPLE, LIKE LOWRY, SWEAT VERY LITTLE, WHICH IS CALLED HYPOHIDROSIS AND THOSE WHO SWEAT EXCESSIVELY, HAVE A CONDITION KNOWN AS HYPERHIDROSIS.

People who sweat excessively, tend not to have significant medical issues, it's more of a cosmetic issue for many.

AND BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T SWEAT, LOWRY NEEDS TO WORKOUT INDOORS DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS AND EXERCISE OUTDOORS, ONLY IN THE COOLER TEMPERATURES.

I basically give up running in the summer, it ruins my day.

SHE FOUND EMAILS ON HER HOME COMPUTER SENT BY RAYMOND TO HIS SON

IN ONE DATED THE DAY BEFORE RAYMOND WAS REPORTED MISSING, HE ALLEGEDLY WROTE

BACK TO SCHOOL TIME IS A LONG CHECKLIST THIS MOM OF THREE.

"It's crazy. Hahah. It's really crazy."

WITH HER YOUNGEST HEADING OFF TO KINDERGARTEN THIS WEEK, SHE CAME TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT READY TO CROSS OFF ANOTHER ITEM ON HER LIST--

--GETTING LITTLE LEENCY IN THE DOOR AND UP-TO-DATE ON HER VACCINES BEFORE HER BIG DAY.

"All I had to tell her was they give away stickers- so everything was good."

EASY ENOUGH!

NAT BREAK

BUT EVERYTHING ELSE CAN BE A LITTLE COMPLICATED.

FULLSCREEN 1

IF YOU HAVE A KINDERGARTNER, THEY MUST HAVE ALL OF THESE VACCINES BEFORE THEY ENTER KINDERGARTEN.

---AND DONT LEAVE THE SCHOOL OUT- THEY MUST HAVE A COPY OF YOUR CHILD'S SHOTS RECORD.

"Even if their shots are up-to-date, they have to get a particular form either from their private doctor or the health department."

HAVE A 7TH GRADER?

THEY TOO ARE REQUIRED TO RECEIVE A VACCINATION BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

"This is where many families get caught- they need a tetanus, diptheria, pertussis shot. what we call t-dap."

DR. HARTNER SAYS MANY PARENTS DON'T FIND OUT ABOUT THIS ONE UNTIL THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

" I really didn't even know, the nurse told me."

AND IF YOUR JUST NOT SURE.DR. HARTNER SAYS.IT'S OK TO JUST ASK

"It is really important that you check your records check with the school if your not sure and come in as soon as possible."

SO THAT DAY ONE STARTS AND STAYS ON A GOOD NOTE.

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.

Storms will be plentiful today as a band of moist air from the tropics passes over Southwest Florida, triggering numerous showers and storms this afternoon. It looks as though this moisture air will be moving over South Florida just the atmosphere is heating up, so there will be plenty of energy in place for the rain and storms to work with. Today's storms will be capable of producing very heavy rain along with intense lightning and gusty winds.

Aside from what's looking to be a stormy afternoon, our morning looks to be fairly quiet. We may see a few isolated showers on the radar throughout the morning, but most of us will be in store for sunny skies until the stormy weather begins around the midday hours.

With all the rain expected to develop today, temperatures will be kept a bit lower compared to previous days. Our daytime highs should top out in the low to mid 90s.

By tonight, some lingering rain will be possible, but we should see the storms shrink in coverage by sunset.

By Tuesday morning, a few coastal showers will be possible, and then we'll see another round of scattered rain and storms by the afternoon. The storms will probably cover less ground Tuesday as drier air starts to cut into our rain chances.

Wednesday will likely be the driest day of the week, but we still can't rule out a few isolated storms during the afternoon.

In the tropics, Ernesto is showing signs of becoming better organized again, and we'll have to see if this will eventually translate into stronger winds today. The thinking on the path of Ernesto remains unchanged. The storm will continue its westward movement and eventually make landfall over the Yucatan peninsula Tuesday night. Ernesto may then re-emerge into the Bay of Campeche Thursday before finally moving into Central Mexico by the end of the week.

TOE SHORTENING SURGERY-ON CAM

FROM PEEP TOE PUMPS TO SEXY SLING BACKS

Charmaine Gumbs DV TAPE 5238 A beautiful pair of shoes can suck me in.

CHARMAINE GUMBS IS A SELF-PROCLAIMED HIGH HEEL FANATIC.

Charmaine Gumbs DV TAPE 5810 These are my New Year's Eve Jimmy Choos that I

have not put on my foot yet

I think they will be a classic eventually

I've measured. Six inches. Look at the height.

Why do women love shoes? i have no idea, but i do!

BUT HER LOVE OF SKY-HIGH HEELS COMES WITH A PRICE.

Charmaine Gumbs DV TAPE 5358 it burns and it's like fire.

PAIN IN THE BALL OF HER FOOT. BUT GIVING UP HER BELOVED SHOES IS NOT AN

OPTION. IN FACT, CHARMAINE - AND WOMEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY - ARE GOING TO

EXTREMES TO FIT INTO THEIR HEELS EVEN IF IT MEANS CHOPPING OFF THEIR TOES.

NTL 1:40 do you feel any pain here?

THIS WOMAN IS SO EMBARRASSED BY HER LONG TOE, SHE'S HAVING COSMETIC SURGERY

TO MAKE HER SECOND TOE SHORTER THAN HER BIG TOE. FOR JENNIFER PYRON, IT'S

NOT THE LENGTH OF HER TOES THAT GETS TO HER - IT'S THE SWEAT.

Jennifer Pyron 960-01 32:25 So these are my favorite summer shoes and

unfortunately, as you can see, they're ruined.

JENNIFER'S VISITING PODIATRIST DR SUZANNE LEVINE TO HAVE BOTOX INJECTED INTO

HER FEET - TO STOP THE SWEATING.

Dr Suzanne Levine 960-04 3938 A lot of people have the problem, especially

women that want to wear great shoes. They don't' want their shoes ruined.

Shoes are very expensive. It really is quite a problem.

Diana Perez: A0092 8:07 what are you hoping you'll get from this procedure

?

Jennifer Pyron 960-01 31:36 I'm hoping that I'll get obviously dryer feet

and / save the longevity of my shoes and keep in style and keep them

looking nice.

IN THE ROOM NEXT DOOR, HEEL LOVER CHARMAINE IS WAITING FOR A PROCEDURE TO

FIX THAT PAIN IN THE BALL OF HER FOOT.

DR LEVINE INJECTS A BIODEGRADABLE CUSHIONING - SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU MIGHT GET

PUT IN YOUR SMILE LINES - INTO THE FOOT, REPLACING THE NATURAL CUSHIONING.

Dr Levine NAT: you pick up and that's it

SHE SAYS IT LASTS AROUND NINE MONTHS. BUT NOT ALL DOCTORS THINK MESSING

WITH YOUR FEET IS A GOOD IDEA.

AA0114 4203 Dr David Levine / Hospital for Special Surgery Although I don

't think there's anything inherently wrong with plastic surgery. I have no

problem if someone wants to change their nose, or change their boobs, but

you don't walk on your boobs.

STILL, MANY WOMEN WON'T BE SWAYED. JENNIFER IS NO LONGER EMBARRASED BY HER

SWEAT STAINED SHOES

Jennifer Pyron AA0115 4306 once it kicked in I totally noticed a difference

AND A WEEK AFTER CHARMAINE'S TREATMENT, SHE IS PAIN FREE.

Charmaine Gumbs DV TAPE 55:05 I feel not so frightened by shoes anymore

because I love them. And I look forward to wearing them in comfort not in
