STORMWARN-CLIP

FIRST WEATHER-WX WALL

A stalled front over the Florida peninsula is pumping lots of tropical moisture into Southwest Florida and is also helping to trigger rain and thunderstorms over the area and also in the Gulf of Mexico.

With the southwesterly wind flow in place, the trend will be for the rain in the Gulf of Mexico to drift towards the Southwest Florida coastline. Expect off and on showers and even a couple of thunderstorms through the evening.

The activity will wind down later tonight, with a mostly to partly cloudy sky and low temperatures near 75º.

The front doesn't move much tomorrow, so the pattern will remain the same, with lots of clouds, some sun from time to time and over half of Southwest Florida will get a shower or thunderstorm. Highs will be in the upper 80s.

The front begins to fall apart a bit by Thursday & Friday and a northeast wind will bridge the front, which will slightly dry us out and lower the rain chance. Still, about half of Southwest Florida will get some rain.

The weekend looks to be more of what you would expect this time of the year. Easterly wind flow will give us sun in the morning. Then the sea breeze moves ashore in the afternoon and triggers the afternoon storms.

I expect 40% of Southwest Florida to get a storm Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Highs will be close to 90º over the weekend.

there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government,

who believe that they are victims

TONIGHT, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE MITT ROMNEY IS UNDER FIRE FOR COMMENTS HE MADE AT A PRIVATE FUNDRAISER IN BOCA RATON IN MAY.

THOSE COMMENTS WERE SECRETLY TAPED.

TODAY LEFT LEANING MAGAZINE MOTHER JONES RELEASED THE FULL VIDEO OF ROMNEY SPEAKING TO WEALTHY DONORS.

MITT ROMNEY VIDEO-PKG

THE ROMNEY CAMPAIGN IS SCRAMBLING TO CONTAIN THE DAMAGE AFTER HIS REMARKS AT

A PRIVATE FUNDRAISER IN MAY WERE LEAKED.

Romney Video w/GFX

there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government,

who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a

responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to

health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.

AT A LAST MINUTE PRESS CONFERENCE LAST NIGHT, ROMNEY DIDN'T APOLOGIZE

Romney SOT

Well, um, It's not elegantly stated let me put it that way.

SO.HE TRIED TO STATE IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

Romney SOT

my campaign is about helping people take more responsibility and becoming

employed again.

TODAY VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN TURNED DOWN A CHANCE TO ATTACK.

Biden SOT

I'll let his words speak for themselves.

BUT THE PRESIDENT'S SPOKESMAN WEIGHED IN:

Carney SOT

When you're president of the United States, you are president of all the

people, not just the people who voted for you.

GFX

THE 47 PERCENT COMMENT COULD MAGNIFY ONE OF ROMNEY'S BIG WEAKNESSES -

VOTERS DON'T BELIEVE HE'S EMPATHETIC. IN A RECENT ABC-WASHINGTON POST POLL

58 PERCENT SAID ROMNEY WOULD FAVOR THE WEALTHY OVER THE MIDDLE CLASS.

AND THE CONTROVERSY COULDNT COME AT A WORSE TIME FOR HIS CAMPAIGN.

IT'S BEEN A ROCKY SEPTEMBER FOR ROMNEY.AND HIS NEXT CHANCE FOR A GAME

CHANGER MAY NOT COME UNTIL THE FIRST PREDIDENTIAL DEBATE ON OCT. 3.

Dowd SOT

that's the only opportunity he's going to have to shift from the unforced

errors, to shift from the crocks in the foundation and try to repair it in

the final 30 days.

"It's derailing the whole process early on."

PSYCHOLOGIST MARK BECKER AND PACKAGING EXPERTS CONDUCTED A STUDY TO TEST THAT THEORY.

USING EYE-TRACKING TECHNOLOGY, THEY GAVE PEOPLE FIVE PRESCRIPTION BOTTLES AND ASKED THEM TO STUDY THE BOTTLES LIKE THEY WOULD AT HOME. THEN ASKED WHAT THEY REMEMBERED.

"People spend a lot of time on that white label."

BUT…

"Often times, people never even looked at the warning label."

71-PERCENT OF THE PARTICIPANTS OLDER THAN 50 FAILED TO SEE ALL THE BRIGHTLY COLORED LABELS. 73-PERCENT OF YOUNG ADULTS DID READ ALL THE WARNINGS.

"Those that actually spent time on the prescription warning label were able to recall it."

USING BOTTLES FROM THE STUDY, WE DID OUR OWN NON-SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT. THESE TWO REVIEWED THE BOTTLES…THEN WE ASKED WHAT THE WARNINGS SAID.

"Good question. I don't know. I looked at the dosage, how many days you take it and what the drug was. I didn't look at the warnings."

"I didn't look at the warnings. I guess I just didn't turn it around and look at that other side. I just looked at the main label."

QSYMIA-OC

THERE'S A NEW OPTION NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS STRUGGLING WITH THEIR WEIGHT.

THE FIRST PRESCRIPTION WEIGHT LOSS DRUG TO HIT THE MARKET IN MORE THAN A DECADE IS OUT TODAY.

QSYMIA-PKG

QSYMIA. IT'S THE FIRST NEW WEIGHT LOSS DRUG IN 13 YEARS. AND AVAILABLE

BY PRESCIPTION TODAY. IT'S A COMBINATION OF TWO MEDICATIONS THAT HAVE

LONG BEEN USED IN WEIGHT MANAGEMENT. ONE IS AN APPETITE SUPPRESSANT, THE

OTHER REDUCES CRAVINGS FOR FOOD.

SOT DR. LOUIS ARONNE / NY PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL/WEILL CORNELL MEDICAL CENTER

: "When you add the two together you get very, very good weight loss."

IT WORKED FOR 57-YEAR OLD GWENDOLYN BARTON, WHO'D TRIED JUST ABOUT

EVERYTHING TO LOSE THOSE EXTRA POUNDS.

SOT GWENDOLYN BARTON / QSYMIA USER: "I've done diet, I've done exercise and

I've done weight watchers. And none of it has ever helped me."

THAT IS UNTIL SHE TRIED QSYMIA. IN ONE YEAR, AS PART OF A CLNICAL TRIAL,

SHE DROPPED FIFTY POUNDS.

SOT GWENDOLYN BARTON / QSYMIA USER: "I went from a size 14 to a size 6, it

made me feel great."

PRESCRIPTION DIET DRUGS HAVE HAD A TROUBLED PAST MERIDIA WAS WITHDRAWN IN

2010 AND FENFLURAMINE IN 1997 AN INGREDIENT IN THE POPULAR DRUG FEN-PHEN

BOTH BECAUSE OF HEART VALVE CONCERNS.

BUT DOCTORS SAY QSYMIA IS PROMISING.

PATIENTS LOST AN AVERAGE OF 10 PERCENT OF THEIR BODY WEIGHT WHILE ON

THE MEDICATION. BUT IT ISN'T AS EASY AS JUST POPPING A PILL. THE

DRUG HAS TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A HEALTHY DIET AND EXERCISE. FOR

GWENDOLYN, IT'S ALL PAID OFF.

SOT GWENDOLYN BARTON / QSYMIA USER: "My blood pressure started to go down.

I felt much better. / I was able to do things with my grandkids just have

FORECAST-PHC

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

FORECAST-WXWALL

A stalled front over the Florida peninsula is pumping lots of tropical moisture into Southwest Florida and is also helping to trigger rain and thunderstorms over the area and also in the Gulf of Mexico.

With the southwesterly wind flow in place, the trend will be for the rain in the Gulf of Mexico to drift towards the Southwest Florida coastline. Expect off and on showers and even a couple of thunderstorms through the evening.

The activity will wind down later tonight, with a mostly to partly cloudy sky and low temperatures near 75º.

The front doesn't move much tomorrow, so the pattern will remain the same, with lots of clouds, some sun from time to time and over half of Southwest Florida will get a shower or thunderstorm. Highs will be in the upper 80s.

The front begins to fall apart a bit by Thursday & Friday and a northeast wind will bridge the front, which will slightly dry us out and lower the rain chance. Still, about half of Southwest Florida will get some rain.

The weekend looks to be more of what you would expect this time of the year. Easterly wind flow will give us sun in the morning. Then the sea breeze moves ashore in the afternoon and triggers the afternoon storms.

I expect 40% of Southwest Florida to get a storm Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Highs will be close to 90º over the weekend.

CAR CRASHES INTO FL HOME-PKG

A man accused of driving drunk and slamming his SUV into a Pompano Beach

apartment building with his 4-year-old stepdaughter in the vehicle appeared

in bond court on Tuesday morning.

Just after 4:30 p.m. Monday, German Hueso, 30, slammed a 1998 Ford Explorer

into his neighbor's apartment at 333 Southwest 2nd Street and ran away,

leaving his common-law wife's 4-year-old daughter in the wreckage, according

to the Broward Sheriff's Office. Hueso tried running away from the crash

scene but was held by neighbors until police arrived.

The girl was not in a car seat or wearing a seatbelt, according to Pompano

Beach firefighters.

Hueso was charged with DUI, operating without a valid driver's license, and

leaving the scene of an accident with damage to property. Judge John Hurley

issued a $16,000 bond for Hueso, saying in court that Hueso does not have a

valid driver's license or carry auto insurance.

"Police say you had a strong odor of alcohol," said Hurley.

According to investigators, Hueso had a blood alcohol content of.208,

nearly twice the legal limit of.08, and three interpretations had trouble

understanding Hueso while he was in custody.

"The court's concerned that you represent a danger to the community," said

Hurley.

The 4-year-old girl was transported to North Broward Medical Center with

minor injuries, and has since been released. She is now in the custody of
