TONIGHT - THE BIG QUESTION - HOW WILL THIS YEAR'S DROUGHT AFFECT THE COLORS TOURISTS TRAVEL TO ENJOY?

ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE --

THIS YEAR'S DROUGHT PUT ADDED STRESS ON THE TREES.

STORMWARN OPEN-CLIP

FORECAST-PHC

Over the next few days we will continue to track a return of showers and storms to southwest Florida. But, just like today, the rain will only be scattered across our area and not everyone will be getting wet. The steering winds above us are coming around to a more south/southwest direction which would argue for an earlier than normal start to daytime showers - and possibly a few morning showers along the coast. Afternoon downpours will move inland during the day and a few evening showers will be possible as well. Temperatures for the next several days will continue to be held to the lower 90's and morning low temperatures will drop to the mid 70's for the next few days.

An interesting feature looks to be developing on the weather maps for the end of the week. An area of low pressure is forecast to develop in the northern Gulf of Mexico. This area of low pressure is actually dropping into the Gulf from the north and would be part of the circulation still left over from Tropical Storm Isaac. If the low does develop by the end of the week we will likely continue to see southwesterly winds and more numerous a.m. showers and p.m. storms for Saturday and Sunday. The long-range guidance doesn't paint a complete wash-out this weekend, but you should plan on seeing more rain this weekend versus last weekend.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

FOOD PRICES-VO WIPE

THE DROUGHT IN THE MIDWEST IS STILL AFFECTING GROCERY PRICES RIGHT HERE IN FLORIDA.

HERE ARE THE LATEST NUMBERS.

THE PRICE IS EXPECTED TO JUMP FIVE PERCENT NEXT YEAR.

ON AVERAGE, A FAMILY OF FOUR SPENDS ROUGHLY 236 DOLLARS A WEEK ON GROCERIES.

TACK ON THE 5 PERCENT INCREASE AND YOUR LOOKING AT SPENDING

AN EXTRA ELEVEN DOLLARS EACH WEEK AT THE STORE.

THE DROUGHT IN THE MIDWEST HAS KILLED CORN, SOYBEAN AND WHEAT CROPS

AND RAISES THE RISK OF HIGHER PRICES IN THE GROCERY STORE.

LOCALLY - WE'RE SEEING MEAT PRICES AT 10 TO 30 PERCENT HIGHER THAN NORMAL

FOOD PRICES-SOT VO

"It may not be as bad in produce as it will be for grains, which come from the Midwest and the breadbasket so that's what we're bracing for is more the grains and of course the meat that eats the grains."

GROCERY GAME-ONCAM

YOUR BILL IS GROWING AT THE GROCERY STORE -- WITH PRICES SHOOTING SKY HIGH.

BUT SOME GOOD NEWS -- THERE ARE WAYS TO SLASH WHAT YOU PAY AT CHECK OUT.

IN OUR SMART SHOPPER SEGMENT TONIGHT--

GROCERY GAME-PKG

SAVINGS START WITH SALES.

AND YOU MUST HAVE YOUR GAME FACE ON THE MOMENT YOU WALK INTO THE STORE.

"Here we walk into the door and we see that these are the sale that's featured in this big display. That's 2 lbs of strawberries for $3.88. But I always say shop the big picture, shop what's on sale. let's look over here. So instead of buying the first thing that we saw, even though it was a gigantic display, here it is.this is half the price of that over there. It's in our sales circular. These are $1.50 each. So now I'm getting these - two pounds for $3."

ONE OF GAULT'S GROCERY GAME STRATEGIES IS STACKING

"And that'll save you money and time by the way."

STACKING IS WHEN YOU SELECT A SALE ITEM, ONE THAT STORE IS ALSO OFFERING A COUPON FOR, AND ONE FOR WHICH YOU ALSO HAVE A MANUFACTURER'S COUPON.

"$5.29 a bottle. But with the coupon and the sale it's $1.99 each. So we wash our clothes for cheap."

GAULT CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A PLAN - AND AVOIDING BUYING ONLY ITEMS YOU'RE OUT OF.

"My name is Teri Gault. And I'm the founder and CEO of TheGroceryGame.com"

GAULT GOT INTO THE GROCERY GAME OVER A DECADE AGO. HER MEMBERS-ONLY WEBSITE CLAIMS TO SAVE A FAMILY OF FOUR MORE THAN 500 BUCKS A MONTH.

"And I decided that, well, I could help people save not only a ton of money but also time. It's really about time."

"You need to know what you're getting, when you're gonna get it and on what day."

STORES ARE FILLED WITH ALL TYPES OF CREAMS --- AND WE WONDERED -- WHICH ARE REALLY BEST, WHICH WORK?

EYE CREAMS-PKG

SCRIPT:

THE NUMBER OF CHOICES IS CRAZY.

Eye wrinkle cream, resurfacing cream, dark circle cream.

HOW CAN YOU EVEN MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL?

Can you believe all this?

WE COUNTED THE NUMBER OF EYE CREAMS IN JUST ONE DRUG STORE.

7, 8, 9.

AND IT TOOK AWHILE.

35, 36, 37 eye creams!

THEN THERE ARE THE DEPARTMENT STORE BRANDS. YOU CAN GO CROSS-EYED TRYING TO

CHOOSE!

SO WE ASSEMBLED THE GMA EYE CREAM DREAM TEAM - 10 TOP DERMATOLOGISTS FROM

AROUND THE COUNTRY WHO NAMED THE BEST PRODUCTS FOR THE WORST PROBLEMS.

NUMBER 1: WRINKLES - OR CROW'S FEET.

2: DARK CIRCLES.

AND 3: PUFFINESS.

Nearly every dermatologist told us, before you even go to the store - look

in the mirror and figure out what your problem spots are. Then look for eye

creams that target those needs.

FOR WRINKLES, THERE'S ONLY ONE WORD YOU NEED TO KNOW: RETINOL.

"If there was one ingredient that I would have to have on a desert island,

it would be retinol."

RETINOL INCREASES COLLAGEN AND ELASTICITY AND DECREASES FINE LINES.

FOR DARK CIRCLES, IT'S NOT SO EASY BECAUSE SO MANY THINGS CAN CAUSE THEM.

OUR DREAM TEAM SAYS LOOK FOR CREAMS THAT CONTAIN A CONCEALER, TINT OR

BRIGHTENER.

AS FOR PUFFINESS, A BUZZY EYE CREAM INGREDIENT ROSE RIGHT TO THE TOP IN OUR

QUESTIONNAIRE: CAFFEINE.

"When you drink caffeine you think of getting all revved up, but it's

actually very soothing to the eye area."

OUR FRIENDS AT ALLURE MAGAZINE HAVE TAKEN A HARD LOOK AT EYE CREAMS AND SAY

IT'S NOT JUST WHAT YOU PUT ON YOUR SKIN, BUT HOW.

"You really want to use very light pressure. so dot it under the eye,

out to the crow's feet and over the lid."

NOW, FOR THE INFORMATION YOU'VE BEEN WAITING TO SEE WITH YOUR VERY OWN EYES:

THE MOST RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS. OUR DREAM TEAM NAMED SKINMEDICA MORE THAN

ANY OTHER HIGH-END EYE CREAM, AVAILABLE IN DERMATOLOGIST'S OFFICES FOR ABOUT

95 DOLLARS.

"Skin medica developed a night eye repair cream that really goes above and

beyond many of the problems that people complain about."

EYE CREAMS-CG-RVL

ELISABETH LEAMY REPORTING.

HERE ARE THE THREE BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR EYES.

WITHOUT THESE -- NO EYE CREAM WILL HELP YOU.

FIRST -- PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY -- GET PLENTY OF SLEEP.

ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN - EVEN ON CLOUDY DAYS.

DOCTORS SAY IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP TO PREVENT PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY SNEAK UP ON YOU.

AND WEAR SUNGLASSES.

YOU DON'T WANT TO SQUINT OR YOU'LL DEVELOP THOSE LINES MORE QUICKLY.

AND THE LAST THING - IT MIGHT BE IN YOUR HOME -- PREPARATION H!

STORM WARN JP OPEN-CLIP

FORECAST-PHC

Over the next few days we will continue to track a return of showers and storms to southwest Florida. But, just like today, the rain will only be scattered across our area and not everyone will be getting wet. The steering winds above us are coming around to a more south/southwest direction which would argue for an earlier than normal start to daytime showers - and possibly a few morning showers along the coast. Afternoon downpours will move inland during the day and a few evening showers will be possible as well. Temperatures for the next several days will continue to be held to the lower 90's and morning low temperatures will drop to the mid 70's for the next few days.

An interesting feature looks to be developing on the weather maps for the end of the week. An area of low pressure is forecast to develop in the northern Gulf of Mexico. This area of low pressure is actually dropping into the Gulf from the north and would be part of the circulation still left over from Tropical Storm Isaac. If the low does develop by the end of the week we will likely continue to see southwesterly winds and more numerous a.m. showers and p.m. storms for Saturday and Sunday. The long-range guidance doesn't paint a complete wash-out this weekend, but you should plan on seeing more rain this weekend versus last weekend.

MILLIONS OF AMERICANS SUFFER FROM HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE --

AND A STARTLING NUMBER OF *CAN NOT* GET IT UNDER CONTROL.EVEN WITH MEDICATION.

UNCONTROLLED BLOOD PRESSURE-PKG

OVER HALF OF THE 67-MILLION OF AMERICAN ADULTS WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE CANNOT GET IT UNDER CONTROL.

IT'S A NEW STATISTIC FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION. THAT'S FLOORED SOME CARDIOLOGISTS -- BECAUSE UNCONTROLLED BLOOD PRESSURE LEVELS HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THE ROOF FOR YEARS.

"I'm surprised that these numbers are where they are because they're the same numbers we saw 20-25 years ago."

THE MAJORITY OF HYPERTENSION PATIENTS ARE GOING TO THE DOCTOR AND ARE ON BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION -- BUT ACCORDING TO THE NEW REPORT -- IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE IS A MAJOR RED FLAG FOR HEART DISEASE AND STROKE RISK. AND DOCTORS SAY PATIENTS MUST BE MORE AGGRESSIVE ABOUT GETTING THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE DOWN TO A HEALTHY LEVEL.

"If you're going to be on medication, why not make that medication as effective as possible and hit your goal?"

LACING UP YOUR SNEAKERS IS THE FIRST STEP -- AS EXERCISE HAS BEEN SHOWN TO HELP REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE.
