FORECAST-WXWALL

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.

Our stretch of pleasant weather continues this Monday, but a strong cool front will bring some considerable changes to Southwest Florida by Election Day.

Before we get to the big changes coming this week, let's focus on how our Monday plays out because we do expect a few changes today. First, you'll notice quite bit more cloud cover today compared to the clear blue skies we had over the weekend.

The reason why is there's a big band of clouds getting carried by the upper-level wind flow right into South Florida. Our sky shouldn't be completely clouded up, and we'll even enjoy partial sunshine. Just don't expect to see those clear blue skies again today.

Aside from the extra cloud cover, our Monday weather looks pretty nice. No rain is in the forecast, and daytime temperatures will be very comfortable with highs projected to climb into the low 80s this afternoon. Humidity will also stay at comfortable levels, and winds will be out of the northwest from 5-10 mph.

Now, on to the big changes we expect to see this week: starting Tuesday, a pretty strong cold front will start having an influence on our weather. The first phase of change comes in the form of some rain as the actual front passes through Southwest Florida. We expect some widely scattered showers and perhaps even a storm or two to move through Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances won't be too impressive, but roughly 30-40% of us will see a passing shower.

By Wednesday, another cool air mass will settle over Southwest Florida, and some forecast models point to this being the coolest air we've had around here so far this season. As the cool, dry air comes rushing in Wednesday, temperatures will struggle to warm into the mid 70s during the afternoon.

Temperatures drop even lower Wednesday night with lows expected to dip into the low 50s across the urban corridor and mid to upper 40s inland.

CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH.

THEY'RE GOT CAMPAIGN FATIGUE --

INCLUDING THE SIGNS AND COMMERCIALS THAT COME WITH THEM.

AND THAT INCLUDES SOCIAL MEDIA.

WHERE STRONG OPINIONS. SPARK HEATED DEBATES.

SOCIAL MEDIA POLITICS-PKG

IN CONVERSATION, THE TWO TOPICS MOST AVOIDED ARE USUALLY RELIGION AND POLITICS. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL MEDIA? ALL BETS ARE OFF.

"I think it can be annoying if it's a little over the top. I have my own opinions but I try to express them in a tactful way."

"I don't really pay attention to it, try to ignore it sometimes."

"Just take a quick scroll on your own Facebook news feed and chances are you will come across something like this"

nats "Its a steady barrage everyday I get one."

GLENN SPARKS IS A COMMUNICATIONS PROFESSOR. HE SAYS THIS POLITICAL SEASON HAS YIELDED A CORNUCOPIA OF FRIEND DUMPING ON FACEBOOK.

nats "I've done it, yeah"

"Pew Research foundation just issued a study that 20 percent of all facebook users during this election season have taken some kind of action to protect themselves from political expressions that they really don't want to be exposed to"

WE TURNED TO FACEBOOK TO SEE WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT HOW WELL POLITICS AND SOCIAL MEDIA MIX. WITHIN TEN MINUTES WE WERE FLOODED WITH RESPONSES LIKE IGNORE, I'M SICK OF IT, AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ IT GO ON TO THE NEXT POST.

"Political communication is communication about deep feelings and I think many people are discovering the text modality of facebook is not a great medium for expression of deep feelings"

34 PERCENT OF SOCIAL MEDIA USERS HAVE POSTED THEIR OWN THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS.

WHEN YOU BABY IS CRYING,

IS THE FIRST THING YOU GRAB THEIR PACIFIER?

WHILE IT MAY CALM YOUR BABY,

NEW RESEARCH FINDS YOUR BABY COULD GET SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT.

DIRTY PACIFIERS-PKG

PARENTS -- HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU POPPED A PACIFIER BACK INTO THE MOUTH OF A CRYING INFANT AFTER IT'S DROPPED ONTO THE GROUND?

IT'S VERY COMMON.

BUT NEW RESEARCH SHOWS THOSE BINKIES CAN BE COVERED IN BACTERIA.

"The pacifier is a potential reservoir for germs that will make you sick."

DR. TOM GLASS AND COLLEAGUES AT OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY DID A SMALL STUDY OF 10 USED INFANT PACIFIERS.

THEY LOOKED CLEAN. BUT UNDER A MICROSCOPE -- THEY FOUND MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION -- MOLD AND STAPH BACTERIA.

"It may look solid in your hand, but when we look at it under the scanning electron microscope, it looks like a sponge."

NO STUDIES HAVE PROVEN THAT A DIRTY PACI CAN LEAD TO ACTUAL ILLNESS. BUT MOST EXPERTS AGREE PARENTS SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT LEAST MONTHLY -- EVEN IF THEY'RE CLEANED AND STERILIZED AFTER EVERY USE.

"It's cheap medicine to discard your pacifiers every two weeks."

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.

Our stretch of pleasant weather continues this Monday, but a strong cool front will bring some considerable changes to Southwest Florida by Election Day.

Before we get to the big changes coming this week, let's focus on how our Monday plays out because we do expect a few changes today. First, you'll notice quite bit more cloud cover today compared to the clear blue skies we had over the weekend.

The reason why is there's a big band of clouds getting carried by the upper-level wind flow right into South Florida. Our sky shouldn't be completely clouded up, and we'll even enjoy partial sunshine. Just don't expect to see those clear blue skies again today.

Aside from the extra cloud cover, our Monday weather looks pretty nice. No rain is in the forecast, and daytime temperatures will be very comfortable with highs projected to climb into the low 80s this afternoon. Humidity will also stay at comfortable levels, and winds will be out of the northwest from 5-10 mph.

Now, on to the big changes we expect to see this week: starting Tuesday, a pretty strong cold front will start having an influence on our weather. The first phase of change comes in the form of some rain as the actual front passes through Southwest Florida. We expect some widely scattered showers and perhaps even a storm or two to move through Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances won't be too impressive, but roughly 30-40% of us will see a passing shower.

By Wednesday, another cool air mass will settle over Southwest Florida, and some forecast models point to this being the coolest air we've had around here so far this season. As the cool, dry air comes rushing in Wednesday, temperatures will struggle to warm into the mid 70s during the afternoon.

Temperatures drop even lower Wednesday night with lows expected to dip into the low 50s across the urban corridor and mid to upper 40s inland.
