FORECAST-WXWALL

WONDERFUL WEATHER THIS WEEKEND

Hasn't Friday been spectacular? The humidity low, temperatures mild, and there hasn't been a single cloud in the sky.

I can promise you several more days that are nearly identical. What does that spell? … A wonderful weekend.

The cold front we talked about yesterday sits to our south, and it brought this comfortable air mass with it. The air will stay comfortable, but we will see a slight increase in humidity as we progress from now into Tuesday. There will be a few more clouds in the sky; however, we are going to see plenty of sun.

It'll be a perfect time to get outside.

Tuesday is the only day we have rain in the forecast. Another cold front will approach from our north which will elevate our rain chances for that one day only. Of course, after the front passes through the atmosphere will dry out and we will cool down once again.

That sets the stage for the rest of the week from Wednesday forward.

Temperatures - look good - upper 70s and lower 80s during the daytime. This comes after starting the day off around 60 degrees.

TOSS TO NINA-OC

HURRICANE SANDY REMINDS US -- BE PREPARED FOR THE WORST.

"We were fortunate no structural damage there's people who lost everything."

ALTHOUGH THEY DECIDED TO GO AHEAD WITH THE TRIP THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS ARE AT HOME -

THE COUPLE IS LOOKING FOR GENERATORS TO SHIP BACK - THERE'S NO TELLING HOW MUCH LONGER THEY WILL BE OUT OF POWER.

LOWE'S MANAGER RON WOTRING SAYS THEIR STORY IS A GOOD REMINDER TO BE PREPARED BEFORE IT'S CRUNCH TIME.

03:15:19 9

"Whether it be your fridge tv window ac in summer want to know to make determination what generator you'd like to buy"

RIGHT NOW - YOU CAN SAVE UP TO FIVE PERCENT ON GENERATORS AT LOWE'S - THEY RUN FROM ABOUT 500 DOLLARS INTO THE THOUSANDS DEPENDING ON HOW MANY APPLIANCES YOU'RE LOOKING TO POWER.

IT'S THE SAME STORY AT ACE HARDWARE OFF SAN CARLOS BOULEVARD IN FORT MYERS.

STORE MANAGER RON GAVIN SAYS THIS WEEKEND - CUSTOMERS CAN SAVE 10 PERCENT ON GENERATORS.

YOU COULD SAVE UPWARDS OF 100 DOLLARS -

AND SINCE IT'S NEARING THE END OF HURRICANE SEASON - THE SAVINGS COME JUST IN TIME FOR MANUFACTURERS TO MAKE ROOM FOR NEWER MODELS.

COOK SAYS SHE WOULD'VE CHOSEN INVITRO FERTILIZATION RIGHT AWAY, HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE HIGH COST, ABOUT 12-THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A TREATMENT.

NOW, THE NATIONAL FERTILITY ASSOCIATION AND OTHERS ARE SUPPORTING THE FAMILY ACT, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE A TAX CREDIT TO THOSE WHO CHOOSE THE PROCEDURE.

IT WAS MODELED AFTER THE TAX CREDIT ALLOWED FOR ADOPTION.

"This allows people who want to use medical treatment to build their family to have that same ability.

LIKE WITH ADOPTION, IT PROVIDES UP TO 13,360 DOLLARS IN TAX CREDITS.

BUT YOU'RE ONLY ELIGIBLE FOR THE CREDIT IF YOU MAKE LESS THAN 222-THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.

IT ALSO COVERS FUTURE INFERTILITY PROCEDURES, LIKE FREEZING EGGS BEFORE PEOPLE BECOME INFERTILE BECAUSE OF CHEMO-THERAPY.

I can promise you several more days that are nearly identical. What does that spell? … A wonderful weekend.

The cold front we talked about yesterday sits to our south, and it brought this comfortable air mass with it. The air will stay comfortable, but we will see a slight increase in humidity as we progress from now into Tuesday. There will be a few more clouds in the sky; however, we are going to see plenty of sun.

It'll be a perfect time to get outside.

Tuesday is the only day we have rain in the forecast. Another cold front will approach from our north which will elevate our rain chances for that one day only. Of course, after the front passes through the atmosphere will dry out and we will cool down once again.

That sets the stage for the rest of the week from Wednesday forward.

Temperatures - look good - upper 70s and lower 80s during the daytime. This comes after starting the day off around 60 degrees.

AN UNBELIEVABLE STORY TONIGHT --

A CAR DRAGGED A WOMAN THE LENGTH OF THREE FOOTBALL FIELDS. IN A WAL-MART PARKING LOT.

AND, THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY.IT DOESN'T END UNTIL AFTER A 127-MILE-AN-HOUR POLICE CHASE.

WOMAN DRAGGED-PKG

"WATCH THE RED CAR PULL UP TO A WOMAN STANDING BY HER CAR."

"See her pull up, the passenger leans out.grabs the purse."

BUT THE VICTIM WON'T LET GO.

"She becomes entangled in the purse and is drug across the parking lot approximately 300 yards."

IT'S ALMOST TOO PAINFUL TO WATCH. THE FEMALE SUSPECT WON'T LET GO AS THE WOMAN IS DRAGGED ACROSS ASPHALT UNABLE TO FREE HERSELF.

THE GOOD NEWS IS THE SUSPECTS DIDN'T GET AWAY.

A COVINGTON POLICE OFFICER SPOTTED THE SUSPECT VEHICLE GETTING ONTO I-20.

"But at this point his blue lights, his siren are activated and the chase is on."

THE CHASE WENT FROM COVINGTON TO ATLANTA.SOME 40 MILES, WEAVING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC.REACHING A PEAK SPEED OF 127 MILES PER HOUR.

"Once you reach speeds like this you're almost out-running the siren."

AT ONE POINT IT ALMOST TURNS INTO TRAGEDY FOR AN UNSUSPECTING MOTORIST.

"See the white car right there.sideways.and that truck was able to come to a stop somehow.right there."

THE CHASE WENT THROUGH THE STREETS OF DOWNTOWN ATLANTA - FINALLY ENDING WITH THE SUSPECT CAR BOXED IN BY THE GEORGIA STATE PATROL.

THEY PULLED THE SUSPECT OUT OF THE CAR, HEAD OVER HEELS AND HE WAS PLACED IN THE BACK OF THE PATROL CAR.

WATCH WHAT HAPPENS AS THE FEMALE SUSPECT IS HANDCUFFED.

SHE BLOWS THE MALE SUSPECT A KISS.AND MOUTHS WHAT APPEARS TO BE "I LOVE YOU."
