STORMWARN 7 JP WX OPEN-CLIP

WEATHER-PWC

Variable clouds will become mostly clear later tonight as we continue to track a front in northern Florida. The cold front up there still doesn't look like it's headed this way with cooler weather and will continue to slowly die off over the next few days. That means we will continue to see a few clouds mixed with some sunshine and warm weather in the afternoon on Wednesday. The average high for this time of year is 82 degrees and we will hit that number again tomorrow. Rain chances stay pretty low for Wednesday, but not down to 'zero'. It looks like there could be an isolated shower tomorrow covering roughly 20%, or less, of the area. Overnight lows this evening will drop back into the 60's and a little fog could form east of the interstate on Wednesday morning.

WHY MEN IN POWER CHEAT-TC MON

THE SAGA SURROUNDING DAVID PETRAEUS' AFFAIR SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE COMPLEX BY THE MINUTE.

WHY MEN IN POWER CHEAT-PKG

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

"I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family. That violates my or any sense of right and wrong."

"You didn't send that photo to that woman in Washington state?"

"I did not send it to that woman."

THEY HAVE POWER.

THEY HAVE FAME.

AND THEY HAVE BETRAYED THEIR FAMILIES.

FORMER GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS -- THE HEAD OF THE CIA -- IS JUST THE LATEST TO GET CAUGHT.

WHY IN THE WORLD DO MEN WITH SO MUCH TO LOSE, RISK IT ALL?

HELEN FISHER WROTE THE BOOK, "ANATOMY OF LOVE: A NATURAL HISTORY OF MATING, MARRIAGE, AND WHY WE STRAY".

"They're very high testosterone. Anybody who really fights for rank, as these men have, are gonna be high on testosterone and so that's going to trigger the sex drive. Also, they are away from home a lot. They've got a lot of opportunities. And a lot of women really like a high ranking man. So even if they're not looking around for somebody, they are likely to find a woman who really is interested in somebody like them."

FOR MOST PEOPLE --

HAVING AN AFFAIR CAN COST YOU YOUR MARRIAGE OR MAYBE YOUR JOB.

BUT IN THE MILITARY, ADULTERERS CAN ALSO FACE PROSECUTION.

PETRAEUS INSISTS THE AFFAIR STARTED ONLY AFTER HE LEFT THE MILITARY.

BUT HIS ADMISSION HAS STILL LEFT SOME.STUNNED.
