STORMWARN OPEN-CLIP

FIRST WEATHER-WXWALL

PERIODS OF RAIN THIS WEEK

Our local weather is in a bit of a struggle. Does it transition into the dry season or stay in the rainy season? You can tell we're in the grey area because we'll have two days of nice weather and then two days of gloomy weather.

That type of pattern is very common for this time of the year.

Will we see more of the same this week? Yes, yes we will.

Dry air at all levels of the atmosphere will begin filtering in from the Deep South tonight. This will absolutely squash our rain chances for Tuesday. We'll have a lot of sunshine and comfortable air thanks to low humidity levels. Overall, it'll be a great day!

Of course that is short lived. A surge of energy currently sitting over Texas will move over on Wednesday. That's when we see mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers for another afternoon. Guess what? That, too, is short lived.

I think you get the idea here. Periods of rain, periods of dry weather this week.

Dry air returns to Southwest Florida after the passage of a weak cold front. This means we will end the work week on a really nice note. As for your weekend, it'll be a split decision. Isolated showers are at play for Saturday, and then sunshine steps up to the plate on Sunday.

Temperatures will remain at the 70 degree mark during the overnight hours, and by the afternoon we'll be in the upper 80s.

We still have tropical weather to talk about. Tropical Storm Rafael is still going strong. Max winds are at 70 MPH, so it's knocking on the door hurricane strength. I expect it to become hurricane within the next 24 hours. It will not effect Florida or the U.S. at all. It's moving to the north at a slow 7 MPH.

STONE CRAB SEASON-LL PKG

They hope this season will be better than last. They've put out hundreds of these traps and they are getting these pots ready to cook them, cool them, and then they will be ready be ready for sale.

Fisherman dropped hundreds of crab traps all last week, in anticipation of the first day of harvesting. The fisherman at Kibbe brothers are hoping to yield a good catch. Last year, lee county commercial fisherman caught just under 189,000 pounds of stone crab claws--that's almost half of what was caught in 2010, which was just under 270,000 pounds. what might affect the beginning of the season this year is the red tide looming in the gulf. With more dead fish in the water, the crabs see that as an easy meal instead of going after the bait in the traps. But the waterfront restaurant owner is staying optimistic, saying that he hopes to have stone crab claws on dinner plates tonight.

Take sound

J.D. Hollway, the Waterfront Owner

"they're only available in Florida so everybody waits around for them. There's a lot if crabbers on the island do there's a lot of hype about it and everyone gets excited. They're building traps, setting traps and pulling traps. It's a lot of fun."

Police said a woman was injured when she crashed her car

into an Orlando business early Saturday morning.

The incident happened just before 3:00 a.m. at Brothers Scrap Metals on S.

Orange Blossom Trail near South Street, police said.

When fire rescue crews arrived on scene, they discovered a car had crashed

through the wall of the business and into the building.

The business' surveillance cameras captured the crash. In the video, a

bright flash can be seen right as the car comes barreling through the wall,

moments later the driver climbs out of her car.

Michael Leigh, the owner of the business, told WFTV this is not the first

time a car has crashed into his building. Eyewitness News was there in May

of 2009 when another car slammed into Leigh's business after a brief police

chase.

Leigh said Brothers Scrap Metal will remain open for business despite the

mess caused by the crash.

Officials said the driver was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center to be

treated for non-life threatening injuries. Officials have not said if the

The 14-year-old school girl needs immediate treatment to repair her damaged

skull and long-term neuro rehab after the Taliban stormed her school bus

last week, shooting her in the head and neck, and wounding two other

studentsall because she was fighting for the rights of girls to have an

education.

FOREIGN SECRETARY WILLIAM HAGUE

She is an inspirational example to young people It was a cowardly attack

on her and her school friends trying to retaliate for her own campaign for

good access to education for girls in Pakistan.

Pakistani officials are on the hunt for her attackers; they arrested at

least 100 men last week but later released them.

They believe her attempted assassins are still on the loose. The Taliban

had vowed to target her again until they killed her, which was another

reason she was moved to the UK.

PERIODS OF RAIN THIS WEEK

Our local weather is in a bit of a struggle. Does it transition into the dry season or stay in the rainy season? You can tell we're in the grey area because we'll have two days of nice weather and then two days of gloomy weather.

That type of pattern is very common for this time of the year.

Will we see more of the same this week? Yes, yes we will.

Dry air at all levels of the atmosphere will begin filtering in from the Deep South tonight. This will absolutely squash our rain chances for Tuesday. We'll have a lot of sunshine and comfortable air thanks to low humidity levels. Overall, it'll be a great day!

Of course that is short lived. A surge of energy currently sitting over Texas will move over on Wednesday. That's when we see mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers for another afternoon. Guess what? That, too, is short lived.

I think you get the idea here. Periods of rain, periods of dry weather this week.

Dry air returns to Southwest Florida after the passage of a weak cold front. This means we will end the work week on a really nice note. As for your weekend, it'll be a split decision. Isolated showers are at play for Saturday, and then sunshine steps up to the plate on Sunday.

Temperatures will remain at the 70 degree mark during the overnight hours, and by the afternoon we'll be in the upper 80s.

We still have tropical weather to talk about. Tropical Storm Rafael is still going strong. Max winds are at 70 MPH, so it's knocking on the door hurricane strength. I expect it to become hurricane within the next 24 hours. It will not effect Florida or the U.S. at all. It's moving to the north at a slow 7 MPH.

INSTEAD OF SNIPPING COUPONS FROM CIRCULARS AND MAILINGS.

THE APP SCANS THE COUPONS AND STORES THEM ON YOUR PHONE.

SNIP SNAP IS FREE. AND IT INCLUDES ALERTS.

"We also give you notifications, like reminders, when a coupon is about to expire. When you arrive at a Babies 'R' Us we say hey, don't forget, you've got 3 coupons waiting to be used. Better go use them or else your wife is going to give you a hard time."

YOU BUCKLE UP.YOU BUCKLE UP YOUR CHILDREN.BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR DOG.

HARNESSES ON THE MARKET PROMISE TO KEEP THEM SAFE.

BUT DO THEY WORK.

WE PUT FOUR TO THE TEST.

DOG CRASH TEST-ONCAM

HOW SAFE ARE YOUR DOGS IN THOSE PET HARNESSES IN YOUR CAR?

DOG CRASH TEST-PKG

PET HARNESSES…SEATBELTS FOR DOGS…DESIGNED TO KEEP OUR BEST FRIENDS SAFE WHILE WE CHAUFFEUR THEM AROUND.

Nats

THERE ARE DOZENS OF DOG SAFETY PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET. LAWMAKERS IN NEW JERSEY ARE EVEN CONSIDERING A BILL TO REQUIRE A CAR RESTRAINT FOR ROVER.

Grace Spencer/NJ State Assembly 011003

People tend to treat their animals like members of the family, why don't we treat them like that when they're in the car?

WHILE HARNESSES MAY GIVE PET OWNERS PIECE OF MIND…A NEW STUDY SUGGESTS THEY MAY NOT OFFER MUCH ACTUAL PROTECTION.

Lindsey Wolko 15;06;07

It was just astounding what we saw.

LINDSEY WOLKO FOUNDED THE CENTER FOR PET SAFETY IN 2011 AFTER GETTING INTO A CAR ACCIDENT WHILE TRAVELING WITH HER DOG. THE HARNESS FAILED AND MAGGIE SUFFERED SPINAL INJURIES.

SO WOLKO DECIDED TO TEST FOUR OF THE STRONGEST DOG HARNESSES ON THE MARKET…APPLYING THE SAME FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS FOR TESTING CHILD SEATS.

USING A 55 POUND WEIGHTED TEST DOG, WOLKO AND HER TEAM SIMULATED A 30 MILE PER HOUR COLLISION.

THE RESULTS? EVERY SINGLE HARNESS FAILED.

IN THE FIRST TEST, THE HARNESS HELD UP…BUT PROVIDED TOO MUCH SLACK. THE DUMMY DOG ROCKETED FORWARD, CRASHING INTO THE BACK OF THE TEST BENCH.

THE RESULTS WOULD GET FAR WORSE.

IN TWO OF THE TESTS, THE HARNESSES SNAPPED COMPLETELY, SENDING THE TEST DOG FLYING THROUGH THE AIR…TOTALLY UNPROTECTED…BECOMING A DANGEROUS PROJECTILE. IT'S ESTIMATED THAT IN A CRASH AT 30 MILES PER HOUR, A TINY TEN POUND DOG WILL EXERT THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF PRESSURE.

AND IN THE FOURTH TEST…A DEVASTATING RESULT. THE HARNESS SLID UP TO THE TEST DOG'S NECK UPON IMPACT.

Lindsey Wolko 15;07;28

I don't think that there's any doubt that those dogs would have been seriously injured if not fatally injured.

DOG CRASH TEST-(2)CG

THE AMERICAN PET PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION REPRESENTS HARNESS MANUFACTURERS. AND IN RESPONSE TO WOLKO'S FINDINGS, RELEASED A STATEMENT SAYING: "

. THERE ARE AN INCREASING NUMBER OF REPORTED ACCIDENTS WHERE A PET DISTRACTING THE DRIVER IS BEING CITED AS THE CAUSE.
