ISAAC HITTING LOUISIANA - OUR AFFECTS FADE

The wind and rain from Isaac continues to subside and by tomorrow our weather returns to normal for August. It looks like Isaac will make landfall tonight very near the Mississippi River delta and continue to move over, or near, New Orleans. Flooding rains and hurricane force winds will make for a long night in the Big Easy.

Our weather tonight looks mainly quiet but still a bit breezy. A few passing showers are possible this evening with winds at 10 - 20 mph pushing the rain quickly from north to south. The low tonight will be just under 80 degrees.

Tomorrow, the winds come around to a more southeasterly direction and the morning hours looks mostly sunny. A few clouds will build by the afternoon and there is a 30 - 40% chance for some thunderstorms to develop.

Looking ahead to the rest of the week and the holiday weekend we will continue to track fair skies in the morning and afternoon thunderstorms. Over the next week it looks like there is a chance for thunderstorms each day except Friday. Computer models keep that day mainly dry - but we'll have to see about that! It's back to typical August/September weather.

WOMEN BIRTH CONTROL RISKS-TC MON

IN YOUR ABC7 HEALTHY LIVING TONIGHT.

STUDIES LOOKING AT THE RISKS OF VARIOUS FORMS OF BIRTH CONTROL ARE CONSTANTLY UNDER WAY. BUT THE RESULTS FROM ALL THE STUDIES CAN BE CONFUSING.

WOMEN BIRTH CONTROL RISKS-PKG

DR. CHERISE WILEY DID SOMETHING LOTS OF WOMEN DO.SHE SWITCHED BIRTH CONTROL PILLS TO SAVE MONEY. OPTING FOR A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE.

"I was on one type of birth control and in order to save costs, I was a resident at the time, I changed my birth control which increased the estrogen."

ESTROGEN INCREASES THE RISK FOR BLOOD CLOTTING AND WITHIN A MONTH WILEY'S DECISION HAD TURNED THE DOCTOR INTO A PATIENT. SHE HAD CHEST PAIN AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH.

"I was found to have a PE. as a matter of fact i had multiple PEs, which are blood clots in the lungs. so i had that immediately I was admitted into the hospital, had to be on blood thinners for a course of about six months to a year's time."

WILEY HAS A DISORDER THAT MAKES HER MORE PRONE TO BLOOD CLOTS WHICH SHE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT BEFORE IT PUSHED HER RISK FACTORS OVER THE LINE.

"That's extremely rare, but when you hear about those episodes of things happening in a young woman of reproductive age, its a pretty devastating event."

BLOOD CLOTS ARE JUST ONE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTRACEPTIVES. DR. HADDOCK SAYS STUDIES ARE CONSTANTLY UNDERWAY EXAMINING THE RISKS OF VARIOUS CONTRACEPTIVES.

"They all have different pluses and minuses and every person is different which one is going to work for them."

BUT ALL THE RESULTS FROM THOSE STUDIES CAN BE CONFUSING FOR WOMEN..

FOR EXAMPLE. IN MAY. A STUDY IN THE BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL SAID NON-ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES. LIKE RINGS, IMPLANTS AND SKIN PATCHES. CARRY A HIGHER RISK FOR BLOOD CLOTS THAT PILLS.

AND IN JUNE. A STUDY IN THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE REPORTED THAT BIRTH CONTROL PILLS WITH A MIX OF BOTH ESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE, CAN DOUBLE A WOMAN'S RISK OF HAVING A HEART ATTACK OR STROKE

DOCTOR HADDOCK SAYS THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT ALL OF THESE RISKS ARE RARE. IN NINE YEARS SHE'S ONLY SEEN TWO BLOOD CLOT CASES RELATED TO BIRTH-CONTROL.

POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN NO DESSERT-VO

"We are extremely confident in our ability to defend against the storm."

ONE OF THE PRIMARY CONCERNS WITH THIS SLOW MOVING SYSTEM IS THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF RAIN IT COULD BRING TO A CITY ALREADY BELOW SEA LEVEL.

"The forecast shows there could be as much as anywhere between 10 and 16 inches of rain in some of these areas."

IN SOME AREAS. THE BATTLE AGAINST MOTHER NATURE WILL BE HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT.

NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS HAVE MOVED-IN TO HANDLE THAT.

MITT RONMEY

Republicans have nominated former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for president, culminating a long primary fight and setting the stage for a close contest against President Barack Obama.

In a roll call of states Tuesday, New Jersey put Romney over the top, giving him the prize that eluded him four years ago. Romney is scheduled to accept his party's nomination in a speech Thursday night.

Republican voters flirted with a carousel of GOP rivals before settling on Romney, who effectively clinched the nomination in May. All of Romney's former GOP competitors have endorsed him, with the exception of Texas Rep. Ron Paul.
