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.

Now that we're headed into mid October, we'll start to see some slight changes to our weather pattern signaling a hint of fall across Southwest Florida.

Our Thursday, will kick off with sunny skies and slightly cooler temperatures with our inland and northern communities in the upper 60s, while in town temperatures will remain near 70°. Drier air in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere will keep our weather stable through the afternoon, with mainly dry conditions and plenty of sun.

Daytime highs will run in the upper 80s to near 90°, but lower humidity will keep our afternoon a bit more comfortable with a northeasterly breeze. Tonight, clear skies are in store with cooler overnight lows as temperatures drop into the upper 60s with a few mid 60s across our inland cool spots.

Sunny weather will prevail as we round out the work week as an area of cool and dry high pressure scoots to our north and east. This will keep our days sunny and warm, while our nights stay slightly cooler and more comfy.

FOODS TO FIGHT CANCER-OC

CELEBRITIES HAVE BEEN LEARNING A TASTY WAY TO HELP PREVENT CANCER.

FOODS TO FIGHT CANCER-PKG

THERE'S A DELICIOUS WAY TO FIGHT THE BATTLE AGAINST CANCER-- AND IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH WHAT YOU EAT!

"The world of food, when we're talking about real food is loaded with a plethora of benefits."

CELEB NUTRITIONIST AND CHEF CHRISTINE AVANTI SAYS THERE ARE EIGHT FOODS IN PARTICULAR THAT CAN HELP FIGHT CANCER!

"Being Italian, I use garlic in almost everything except desserts. It has these sulfuric compounds that actually fight-off cancer producing cells."

NEXT UP. ASPARAGUS! IS ANOTHER VEGGIE THAT HELPS IN THE BATTLE.

"Asparagus is high in the B vitamin called folate."

"Eat more asparagus and you're gonna reduce the risk of colon, ovarian and certain types of breast cancers."

ARTICHOKES HELP KEEP YOUR HEART HEALTHY-- BUT THEY CAN TACKLE THE BIG "C" TOO!

"You can take it, steam it, boil it, roast it. Artichoke is loaded with a flavanoid, it's also known as an antioxidant called querstin. It actually kills cancer causing carcinogens. There was a recent study and red onions and shallots came out at the highest for cancer-fighting compounds. Chop up shallots, put 'em in a sauce, you can slice up red onion, throw it in a salad."

BROCCOLI AND TOMATO TOGETHER HAVE AN AMAZING EFFECT!

"It's so simple to incorporate it into your diet. Soups, salads, omelets scrambled, even stir-fry. Don't be afraid to combine the two. Another great cancer fighting food is cabbage. It fights off certain forms of breast cancer. When you ferment cabbage it actually boosts its cancer-fighting potential."

THE NEXT SPACE TOURIST HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED IN MOSCOW.AND IT'S A CELEBRITY!

BROADWAY STAR SARAH BRIGHTMAN WILL SPEND 10 DAYS. AND 50 MILLION DOLLARS. FOR MORE THAN A WEEK ABOVE THE EARTH AS A "SPACE TOURIST".

BRIGHTMAN SPACE TOURIST-PKG

SCRIPT:

You saw her on stage with Andrea Bocelli, with that voice in 1997 now get ready to see famed soprano Sarah Brightman in space.

At a press conference in Moscow on Wednesday, Brightman announced that she

has signed up - and paid up - to be the next space tourist. She's expected

to blast off sometime in 2015 aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket and will spend

about 10 days at the international space station.

Brightman wouldn't say exactly how much she's paying, but sources tell ABC

News that the pricetag was at least $50 million dollars.

After the announcement she sat down with ABC News for her only American

interview, and said this has been a lifelong dream, inspired by the space

race of the 1960s

SB: ive wanted to go to space, really, since i was a little girl

She says she may even stage a performance from the space station

SB: I think that might be forthcoming, we're in the planning for that

In July Brightman traveled to the cosmonaut training facility outside Moscow

, where she underwent medical and endurance tests, and got the ok to fly.

Brightman will be the 8th space tourist. The first was American businessman

Dennis Tito in 2001. The most recent was Cirque du Soleil founder Guy

Lalibert, who in 2009 became the first clown in space.

Brightman will become the first singer. She says her stage experience

prepared her for space training, which includes enduring up to 8 times the

force of gravity.

"it's like an elephant sitting on your chest"

But what about the other perils of space travel?

KR: NO SHOWERS FOR TWO WEEKS??

SB: I knew this would come up! they do have all sorts of wonderful ways for

you to feel extremely clean up there

Perhaps Brightman has been preparing for this moment for years. After all,

this was her first big hit back in 1979:

EYEBROW TRANSPLANTS-PKG

THE ANGLE, THE ARCH, THE ATTITUDE. IF YOUR EYES ARE THE WINDOW TO YOUR

SOUL, THEN YOUR EYEBROWS ARE THE FRAME!

PEOPLE STILL LOVE BROOKE SHIELDS' GORGEOUS EYEBROWS. AND KIM KARDASHIAN'S

BROWS HAVE ALMOST DEVELOPED A CULT FOLLOWING. IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOURS, IT

CAN BE DOWNRIGHT DEPRESSING.

"It's a little embarrassing and it affects my self-esteem."

FOR 10 YEARS, PAMELA PENROSE WATCHED AS BALD SPOTS APPEARED IN HER EYEBROWS.

"Brooke Shields has a sophisticated look and that's what I'm looking

for."

PAMELA TURNED TO DR. SANUSI UMAR FOR AN EYEBROW TRANSPLANT. THE PROCEDURE

EXISTED BEFORE, BUT DOCTORS USED TO USE HEAD HAIRS.

"I can spot it from a distance, a mile away."

SO DR. UMAR PIONEERED A WAY TO HARVEST HAIR FROM A WOMAN'S ARMS, LEGS, OR

NAPE OF THE NECK INSTEAD.

IT'S PAINSTAKING WORK, DONE ONE HAIR AT A TIME. THE TRANSPLANT TAKES 2 AND A

HALF HOURS IN ALL.

AFTER THREE WEEKS, WE GO BACK TO SEE PAMELA.

SHANNON MORRISON ONCE HAD THIN, SPARSE BROWS. AFTER HER TRANSPLANT - YOU CAN

SEE THE OUTLINE OF HER SOON-TO-BE THICKER BROWS.

SARAH TIROSH HAD HER TRANSPLANT 5 MONTHS AGO. SHE WAS SO

FRUSTRATED WITH HER EYEBROWS, THAT SHE RESORTED TO PAINFUL TATTOOING TO GET

A DRAMATIC BROW.

"Now my face looks even and normal I am absolutely happy 100%.

HERE'S SARAH BEFORE THE PROCEDURE. EVEN WITH THE TATTOOS, YOU CAN SEE HOW

FEW HAIRS SHE HAD. THIS IS SARAH TODAY - THE AWKWARD INITIAL HAIRS THAT WERE

TRANSPLANTED HAVE SHED AND NEW HAIRS HAVE GROWN IN NATURALLY.

When you look in the mirror, do you get a little surprise every time?

Pamela:

I feel like a totally different person. I feel so much more confident.

Eli:

All because of eyebrows?

Pamela:

Exactly.

FINAL WEATHER-WX GFX

Now that we're headed into mid October, we'll start to see some slight changes to our weather pattern signaling a hint of fall across Southwest Florida.

Our Thursday, will kick off with sunny skies and slightly cooler temperatures with our inland and northern communities in the upper 60s, while in town temperatures will remain near 70°. Drier air in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere will keep our weather stable through the afternoon, with mainly dry conditions and plenty of sun.

Daytime highs will run in the upper 80s to near 90°, but lower humidity will keep our afternoon a bit more comfortable with a northeasterly breeze. Tonight, clear skies are in store with cooler overnight lows as temperatures drop into the upper 60s with a few mid 60s across our inland cool spots.

Sunny weather will prevail as we round out the work week as an area of cool and dry high pressure scoots to our north and east. This will keep our days sunny and warm, while our nights stay slightly cooler and more comfy.
