HELLO-1SHOT PUSH

GOOD MORNING SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

TODAY IS SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH.

I'M JOE ROETZ.

FIRST WEATHER-WX CTR

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.

High pressure to our south and a frontal boundary to our north, will keep us in a moist tropical flow off the Gulf of Mexico for Saturday. This will keep a stray shower or two in the forecast along our coastal areas during the morning hours.

Through the day, showers and storms will be few and far between as they get pushed deeper inland with the vast majority of Southwest Florida under partly sunny skies. Temperatures will work their way back into the lower 90s along the urban corridor, with a few upper 80s located across our beach locations.

Tonight, skies will go mostly clear and lows will settle into the middle 70s with mainly dry weather.

We're watching an area of disturbed weather in the central Gulf of Mexico, which has ties to former Hurricane Isaac. Development of this system into a depression is highly unlikely as it is fighting some dry air and upper level wind shear.

By Sunday, this low pressure area will link up with an approaching cold front bringing an increased chance for showers and thunderstorms beginning late Sunday through early next week, with some slightly drier air building in by mid to late week.

WE TAKE A LOOK AT A STUDY THAT SAYS.

TZ2 A SINGING IN THE CAR-VO-WIPE

SINGING IN THE CAR-ON CAM

SINGING IN THE CAR SEEMS HARMLESS ENOUGH.

BUT A NEW STUDY HAS SOME SURPRISING FINDINGS.

SINGING IN THE CAR-PKG

DO YOU LIKE TO SING ALONG TO YOUR FAVORITE SONGS BEHIND THE WHEEL?

I'M MEDICAL EXPERT DOCTOR FRANK MCGEORGE.

WHILE YOUR PERFORMANCE MAY BE AMUSING TO YOUR FELLOW DRIVERS. A NEW STUDY FINDS IT'S HAVING A SERIOUS EFFECT ON YOUR DRIVING ABILITIES. AND *NOT* HOW YOU MIGHT THINK.

"I do a lot of singing in the car. I'm not a very good singer, but you know, I try."

NO MATTER *HOW* YOU SING.

"I like all of the songs that I can't sing, like luther vandross songs."

OR *WHAT* YOU SING.

"I like all kinds of music and i'm singing all of it all the time.

"Whatever is on. oldies usually."

OR EVEN *WHAT LANGUAGE* YOU SING IN.

AN AWFUL LOT OF US ADMIT *SINGING* IN THE CAR.

NOW A NEW AUSTRALIAN STUDY FINDS SINGING BEHIND THE WHEEL MAKES DRIVING SEEM MORE *MENTALLY DEMANDING*. AND THAT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR MOST PEOPLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR SPEED.

"Driving performance changes when you're listening to music and singing. You actually tend to slow down. You actually stay more centered in your lane. You become a little bit more careful."

BUT SINGING ALSO SLIGHTLY *REDUCES* YOUR REACTION TIME. MAKING YOU *SLOWER* TO RESPOND TO PEDESTRIANS OR OTHER HAZARDS.

"It does actually kind of distract you because you're thinking about the song moreso than the traffic."

PSYCHOLOGISTS SAY WE SUBCONSCIOUSLY REALIZE HOW DISTRACTING MUSIC CAN BE. THINK ABOUT IT. WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING IN HARD RAIN OR LOTS OF SNOW. WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU TEND TO DO? REACH OVER AND TURN OFF THE RADIO.

"That's smart and maybe as a culture we need to do that a little bit more. Particularly in driving conditions where there are lots of pedestrians, potential distractions, those sorts of things."

TEASE THREE-ON CAM

WE'RE JUST DAYS AWAY FROM THE ELEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WORST TERRORIST ATTACK ON THE U-S.

"To me, that's a missed opportunity, because that's 4.5 million people who saw what appears to be a random listing of names

"What's behind the delay? Well, there's plenty of blame to go around. The city says the Port Authority, controlled by Governors

Christie and Cuomo, suddenly stopped construction nine months ago. The Port says it's the city-controlled memorial that owes

tens of millions of dollars."

"The museum was supposed to open this year. And we understand that it has to happen."

FINAL WEATHER-WXCOMP

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.

High pressure to our south and a frontal boundary to our north, will keep us in a moist tropical flow off the Gulf of Mexico for Saturday. This will keep a stray shower or two in the forecast along our coastal areas during the morning hours.

Through the day, showers and storms will be few and far between as they get pushed deeper inland with the vast majority of Southwest Florida under partly sunny skies. Temperatures will work their way back into the lower 90s along the urban corridor, with a few upper 80s located across our beach locations.

Tonight, skies will go mostly clear and lows will settle into the middle 70s with mainly dry weather.

We're watching an area of disturbed weather in the central Gulf of Mexico, which has ties to former Hurricane Isaac. Development of this system into a depression is highly unlikely as it is fighting some dry air and upper level wind shear.

By Sunday, this low pressure area will link up with an approaching cold front bringing an increased chance for showers and thunderstorms beginning late Sunday through early next week, with some slightly drier air building in by mid to late week.
