FIRST WEATHER-RADAR-CAM 9 EST

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT RADAR-

SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE LIGHTING UP STORM WARN 7 DOPPLER RADAR-

METEOROLOGIST ALLYSON RAE JOINS US A LITTLE EARLY THIS MORNING-

FIRST WEATHER-WX CNTER

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.

Showers and storms will continue making quite the splash across Southwest Florida through our Tuesday.

The soggy, unsettled pattern is the result of a large stream of tropical moisture flowing in from the southwest in advance of an approaching front that will lose steam before making it through Southwest Florida.

We get to experience the wet and stormy side of this weather system, which means we'll continue seeing passing showers and storms through the day. Like yesterday, there will be many dry periods in between the downpours as they work from south to north, so the entire day won't be a complete washout. Just prepare for the possibility of the sky going from sunshiny to showery rather quickly with so much moisture around.

Some of the today's rain will be quite heavy with some downpours even packing some lightning and gusty winds. Areas that get hit multiples times by these showers will see the potential of getting more than an inch or two of rain.

Outside of today's showers, we'll see breezy conditions with a mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures will start out in the upper 70s and low 80s this morning and then peak in the mid to upper 80s during the afternoon.

Even during the overnight hours , showers will continue roaming across the area, and clouds will keep cluttering our sky.

Wednesday will be another wet one, too, with our rain chances staying close to 70%.

In fact, it doesn't look like we'll get much of a break from the rain until Thursday, but even then showers and storms will be in our forecast. The difference is instead of getting rain in the morning and afternoon, showers will mainly hold off until the afternoon and evening. We'll also notice more sunshine and warmer temperatures.

PEANUT BUTTER RECALL-CHANCE AT POP

WE HAVE A MAJOR PEANUT BUTTER RECALL TO TELL YOU ABOUT-

THE C-D-C SAYS AT LEAST 30 PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN SICK FROM SALMONELLA -- AFTER EATING PEANUT BUTTER-

MOST OF THEM WERE KIDS.

THE CLUES ARE POINTING FOOD INVESTIGATORS TO POPULAR BRAND NAMES -- AT WELL KNOWN STORES.

PEANUT BUTTER RECALL-PKG

WHAT'S ESPCIALLY FRIGHTENING IS THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO'VE GOTTEN SICK

FROM THE RECALLED PEANUT BUTTER ARE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF TEN.

MOS "I AM CONCERNED, CAUSE I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER."

MOS "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING, IT'S VERY SCARY"

THIS ALL BEGAN WITH ONE BRAND OF SEA SALT PEANUT BUTTER AT TRADER JOES, BUT

AND TARGET.

INVESTIGATORS HAVE TRACED THE TROUBLE TO SUNLAND INCORPORATED, A PEANUT

ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THE LIST OF RECALLED PEANUT BUTTER PRODUCTS IS 101 ITEMS LONG.AND NOW

INCLUDES NUT BUTTERS MADE WITH ALMONDS, CASHEWS AND SESAME SEEDS.

AND IT GETS WORSE.

COMPANIES LIKE THE OREGON ICE CREAM COMPANY AND FAIRYTALE BROWNIES, WHICH

USED THE RECALLED NUT BUTTER TO MAKE COOKIES AND OTHER BAKED GOODS? THEY'RE

NOW RECALLING THEIR PRODUCTS TOO.

DR. ROBERT TAUXE CDC SOT - PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GETTING SICK OVER THE LAST

MONTH AND BECAUSE THERE IS OFTEN A 2-WEEK DELAY OR SO IN THE REPORTING TIME,

WE EXPECT TO HEAR ABOUT CASES FOR NEXT WEEK OR TWO.

WE SHOULD MAKE CLEAR THAT NONE OF THIS AFFECTS CHOOSY MOMS WHO CHOOSE JIF,

SKIPPY OR OTHER MAIN BRANDS.

WITHOUT ANY ASSISTANCE.

LAST WEEK -- VERIZON'S CUSTOMERS STARTED NOTICING THEIR I-PHONES WERE USING CELLULAR DATA WHILE THE DEVICE WAS CONNECTED TO A WI-FI NETWORK, WHICH IS FREE.

BECAUSE OF THE GLITCH, USERS HIT THEIR MONTHLY DATA CAP VERY QUICKLY.

ONE USER HIT HIS LIMIT IN 6 DAYS EVEN THOUGH HE WAS CONNECTED TO WI-FI 75% OF THE TIME.

THAT WOULD TYPICALLY MEAN EXTRA CHARGES.

BUT VERIZON SAYS THAT WON'T BE THE CASE THIS TIME.

AS FOR APPLE, IT HASN'T SAID HOW WIDESPREAD THE PROBLEM IS. BUT THE COMPANY PUSHED OUT A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO FIX IT.

IT'S NOT CLEAR IF OTHER CARRIERS WERE AFFECTED BY THE BUG, BUT A-T-AND-T CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

WITH ONE APOLOGY UNDER ITS BELT ALREADY -- IT SEEMS THE LINE OF UNHAPPY IPHONE 5 CUSTOMERS IS GROWING LONGER.

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.

Showers and storms will continue making quite the splash across Southwest Florida through our Tuesday.

The soggy, unsettled pattern is the result of a large stream of tropical moisture flowing in from the southwest in advance of an approaching front that will lose steam before making it through Southwest Florida.

We get to experience the wet and stormy side of this weather system, which means we'll continue seeing passing showers and storms through the day. Like yesterday, there will be many dry periods in between the downpours as they work from south to north, so the entire day won't be a complete washout. Just prepare for the possibility of the sky going from sunshiny to showery rather quickly with so much moisture around.

Some of the today's rain will be quite heavy with some downpours even packing some lightning and gusty winds. Areas that get hit multiples times by these showers will see the potential of getting more than an inch or two of rain.

Outside of today's showers, we'll see breezy conditions with a mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures will start out in the upper 70s and low 80s this morning and then peak in the mid to upper 80s during the afternoon.

Even during the overnight hours , showers will continue roaming across the area, and clouds will keep cluttering our sky.

Wednesday will be another wet one, too, with our rain chances staying close to 70%.

In fact, it doesn't look like we'll get much of a break from the rain until Thursday, but even then showers and storms will be in our forecast. The difference is instead of getting rain in the morning and afternoon, showers will mainly hold off until the afternoon and evening. We'll also notice more sunshine and warmer temperatures.
