SOUTHWEST FLORIDA IS BREATHING A SIGH OF RELIEF TODAY-

AFTER TROPICAL STORM ISAAC.SHIFTED WEST-

BUT WE ARE STILL SEEING SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVE THROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL STORM-

AND THE POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOES IS STILL A REAL THREAT-

FOR THE LATEST ON THAT AND ISAAC -- WE TURN NOW TO STORM WARN 7 METEOROLOGIST ALLYSON RAE-

FIRST WEATHER-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.

We'll still be feeling the fringe effects of Isaac through the day as the storm skirts by to our west, but weather conditions are expected to gradually improve through the day.

The center of Isaac will stay a couple hundred miles offshore, but the storm's circulation and moisture will be far reaching enough to bring in some off and on showers this morning and even this afternoon.

While the threat of severe weather should stay on the low side, there's still some concern for isolated tornadoes as broken bands of rain continue to spiral around Isaac and into Southwest Florida. A Tornado Watch is in effect for Southwest Florida through 9 a.m., and this may be extended later depending on how the tornado threat plays out.

As far as our winds go, we'll still experience breezy and gusty conditions today with peak winds reaching 40-45 mph. Sustained winds should stay between 10-20 mph. During the first half of the day, our winds will be out of the southeast but will then shift to the south and southwest through the afternoon. With a strong onshore flow expected later, we'll see the possibility of higher than normal tides and a surge of 2-4 feet. The areas most susceptible for surge will be locations from Marco Island to Everglades City, where the surge may be on the higher end of that range.

By tonight our winds will subside, but we'll notice a stiff breeze at times. A few passing showers will also be possible as we go through the overnight hours, especially for areas close to the coast.

Winds will continue to die down Tuesday, but some of Isaac's wrap-around moisture will still spark scattered showers and even a few thunderstorms during the afternoon

We'll notice a fair about of cloud cover today and Tuesday, but sunshine should also mix in through the day as the cloud clover becomes more broken.

Isaac's moisture will become less and less evident around here for the second half of the week as we get more sun with just a few hit-or-miss showers.

RIGHT NOW, THE AVERAGE IS 15 CENTS HIGHER THAN THIS TIME LAST YEAR-

AND THAT PRICE COULD RISE SHARPLY TODAY AS THE WORLD'S MARKETS REACT TO THE NEW FORECAST FOR ISAAC.

RIGHT NOW, THE AVERAGE PRICE FOR A GALLON OF GAS IS ABOUT 3.75 NATIONWIDE.

STATEWIDE, THE PRICE IS 3.74 A GALLON.

VACUUMING.DUSTING.DOING THE DISHES.

YOU PROBABLY GOT A FEW DOLLARS -- FOR DOING CHORES.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

CASH CARRYING KIDS-PKG

$780 BUCKS A YEAR!

A NEW SURVEY FINDS THAT'S THE AVERAGE KID'S ALLOWANCE.

THAT BREAKS DOWN TO ABOUT $15 A WEEK-- MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR AN I-PAD AND LOTS MORE-- IF KIDS WOULD SAVE UP.

BUT THIS SURVEY-- FROM THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS-- SAYS THAT'S NOT HAPPENING.

61% OF PARENTS PAY AN ALLOWANCE.

MORE THAN HALF START BY THE TIME THEIR CHILD TURNS 8 YEARS OLD.

MOST MAKE THEIR KIDS WORK FOR IT IN SOME WAY, WITH CHORES OR SCHOOL PERFORMANCE.

BUT ONLY ONE-PERCENT OF PARENTS SAY THEIR CHILD EVER SAVES ANY OF IT.

ONE REASON: PARENTS MAY BE MISSING AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THEIR KIDS ABOUT MONEY.

DISCUSSIONS ABOUT GOOD MANNERS, EATING HABITS, AND GRADES TEND TO COME IN FAR AHEAD OF MONEY MANAGEMENT.

TO REMEDY THAT, THE A-I-C-P-A SUGGESTS SETTING PARAMETERS:

DON'T JUST HAND YOUR KIDS $15-DOLLARS A WEEK.

MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND WHY THEY'RE GETTING IT, AND HOW THEY CAN LOSE IT. ALLOWANCE SHOULD BE EARNED, NOT JUST EXPECTED.

IT ALSO SUGGESTS SETTING GOALS, SO CHILDREN LEARN BUDGETING:

DIVIDE UP THE ALLOWANCE FOR SHORT-TERM GOALS LIKE NEW TOYS OR OUTINGS WITH FRIENDS, VERSUS LONGER-TERM GOALS, FOR BIG-TICKET ITEMS OR EVEN COLLEGE.

FINALLY, TALK ABOUT YOUR OWN MONEY WITH THEM, WHAT YOU'RE SAVING FOR AND HOW YOU BUDGET.

IT PROMISED BIGGER MUSCLES FASTER.

BUT WHAT THE PLAYERS DIDN'T KNOW IS THE PRODUCT CONTAINS "SYNEPHRINE." -WHICH IS BANNED BY THE WIAA, THE NCAA AND THE NFL.

"This product has been associated with many problems where there is no blood flow, like stroke, like heart attack, like ischemic gut, things that no one wants."

DR. GREG PLOTNIKOFF SAYS THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT PROVES PRODUCTS LIKE CELL-U-CORE ACTUALLY WORK.

"This is our number one seller it's been our flagship product for years."

ANIKA DECOSTER IS A REGISTERED DIETITIAN.

SHE BELIEVES SUPPLEMENTS LIKE VITAMINS CAN BE BENEFICIAL FILLING IN NUTRITIONAL GAPS.

BUT SHE WARNS POWER-PROMISING-PRODUCTS MAY NOT GIVE YOU THE A BIGGER, BUFFER BODY.

DECATOR SAYS BEFORE YOU PUT ANYTHING IN YOUR BODY, READ THE LABELS AND DO YOUR RESEARCH.

"There's unique ingredients that make people feel bloated or make people feel stronger and it's not necessarily doing anything. That's where I tell people when you're first getting into this stick with the core products because if you're getting enough protein and enough strength training in you're going to get and see those results."

ISAAC IS PROJECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL LATE TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN LOUISIANA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA.

WEDNESDAY HAPPENS TO BE THE ANNIVERSARY OF ONE OF THE WORST NATIONAL DISASTERS IN U-S HISTORY.

We in Mississippi are unfortunately experts at managing disasters. In just a few short days, we will observe the seventh anniversary of Katrina. We all understand how important preparation is.

AHEAD OF ISAAC, A STATE OF EMERGENCY HAS BEEN DECLARED IN LOUISIANA, ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI.

AND MANDATORY EVACUATIONS WERE ORDERED FOR PARTS OF ALABAMA AND LOUISIANA.

I would recommend to our people - let's hope and pray for the best even as we prepare for worst - obviously now is the time to make sure you've got an evacuation plan - you know where you would go.

FLORIDA'S GOVERNOR SAYS THE STATE IS READY TO HELP ITS NEIGHBORS.

We're a state that's dealt with hurricanes. We know how to do this. And if it ends up going further west, when it's Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana - Florida will be ready to be helpful.

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 still be feeling the fringe effects of Isaac through the day as the storm skirts by to our west, but weather conditions are expected to gradually improve through the day.

The center of Isaac will stay a couple hundred miles offshore, but the storm's circulation and moisture will be far reaching enough to bring in some off and on showers this morning and even this afternoon.

While the threat of severe weather should stay on the low side, there's still some concern for isolated tornadoes as broken bands of rain continue to spiral around Isaac and into Southwest Florida. A Tornado Watch is in effect for Southwest Florida through 9 a.m., and this may be extended later depending on how the tornado threat plays out.

As far as our winds go, we'll still experience breezy and gusty conditions today with peak winds reaching 40-45 mph. Sustained winds should stay between 10-20 mph. During the first half of the day, our winds will be out of the southeast but will then shift to the south and southwest through the afternoon. With a strong onshore flow expected later, we'll see the possibility of higher than normal tides and a surge of 2-4 feet. The areas most susceptible for surge will be locations from Marco Island to Everglades City, where the surge may be on the higher end of that range.

By tonight our winds will subside, but we'll notice a stiff breeze at times. A few passing showers will also be possible as we go through the overnight hours, especially for areas close to the coast.

Winds will continue to die down Tuesday, but some of Isaac's wrap-around moisture will still spark scattered showers and even a few thunderstorms during the afternoon

We'll notice a fair about of cloud cover today and Tuesday, but sunshine should also mix in through the day as the cloud clover becomes more broken.

Isaac's moisture will become less and less evident around here for the second half of the week as we get more sun with just a few hit-or-miss showers.
