GOOD MORNING SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

TODAY IS SATURDAY - OCTOBER 20TH.

I'M JOE ROETZ.

BEFORE WE JUMP INTO ALL OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES--

LET'S GET RIGHT TO METEOROLOGIST KIRA MINER.

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.

After plenty of heat and humidity, we'll finally get a break this weekend as a weak cold front moves down the state.

We'll start the day warm and humid under partly cloudy skies. As a weak front makes its way into Southwest Florida, a stray shower or two is possible early in the day across our beach and coastal locations. Once the front passes to our south, the clouds will clear and some drier air will filter down the spine of the peninsula on a northerly wind.

Our afternoon will be partly to mostly sunny with highs in the middle and upper 80s, however you will notice a significant drop in the humidity. This will allow our overnight lows to drop into the lower and middle 60s, which means we'll wake up to some of the coolest weather so far this season by Sunday morning.

Dry high pressure will be in control of our weather for Sunday with plentiful sunshine, dry weather, and low humidity.

SOT Cooper " 163714 i knew i always wanted to have the option in my life to be able to have kids

Today the American Society for Reproductive Medicine said egg freezing is no longer experimental -- but should be considered a routine fertility treatment.

SOT Dr. Jamie Grifo, NYU Medical Center "We are able to get a baby rate very similar with frozen thawed eggs as we are with the standard in-vitro fertilization technique where we use eggs fresh from the patient."

For years doctors have been able to freeze sperm and embryos. But eggs are more fragile and were often damaged by freezing.

SU Bridge Egg-freezing became an option for fertility clinics when doctors learned to do it without water so that the ice crystals wouldn't harm the eggs.

Without egg freezing women near or past 40 can often only have children through in vitro fertilization with eggs donated by others. The opinion today said egg freezing should not be used to beat that biological clock but instead for cancer patients and others who know they will have limited fertility But many women -- and doctors -- dismiss that.

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.

After plenty of heat and humidity, we'll finally get a break this weekend as a weak cold front moves down the state.

We'll start the day warm and humid under partly cloudy skies. As a weak front makes its way into Southwest Florida, a stray shower or two is possible early in the day across our beach and coastal locations. Once the front passes to our south, the clouds will clear and some drier air will filter down the spine of the peninsula on a northerly wind.

Our afternoon will be partly to mostly sunny with highs in the middle and upper 80s, however you will notice a significant drop in the humidity. This will allow our overnight lows to drop into the lower and middle 60s, which means we'll wake up to some of the coolest weather so far this season by Sunday morning.

Dry high pressure will be in control of our weather for Sunday with plentiful sunshine, dry weather, and low humidity.
