CROSSTALK INTO WX-CAM 9 WX EST

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.

A sun and cloud mix will continue across Southwest Florida this Wednesday, and even an isolated shower may develop during the day as the warmth and moisture build up a bit more.

Overall, our rain prospects will stay low enough so that most of us stay dry, but there appears to be just enough moisture and energy to support a couple spotty showers; these, however, should affect less than 20% of the area.

Afternoon temperatures will continue to warm one or two degrees above average with most spots seeing highs in the low to mid 80s. Winds will primarily be out of the east northeast from 5-10 with some gusts up to 15 mph. You may also notice the air becoming slightly more humid today, something we'll keep feeling until the next surge of cool, dry air arrives this weekend.

Our atmosphere becomes a little more stable Thursday, holding our rain chance below 10%. Clouds should also diminish a little more, making way for more sunshine. Look for afternoon highs Thursday to return to the low to mid 80s.

Friday looks to be another warm day with a mix of sun and clouds and relatively low rain chances, but our rain chances will get a little boost come Saturday.

Think of Saturday as a transition day as some cool air begins to settle into Southwest Florida. During this transition day, we'll likely see an increase in cloud cover Saturday morning along with some widely scattered showers. As the clouds begin to fade by Saturday evening, temperatures and humidity levels should begin to drop.

Temperatures Saturday night into Sunday morning should cool into the upper 50s, and daytime highs Sunday will likely stay in the mid to upper 70s. A brisk northerly winds combined with a drop in humidity will make the air nice and refreshing.

THAT AGAIN PUTS THE SPOTLIGHT ON A SERIOUS INJURY. THAT SOMETIMES GOES UNIDENTIFIED.

FOOTBALL CONCUSSIONS-PKG

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A HARD HIT…. AND EVEN IF IF IT IS, NOT EVERYONE WILL NECESSARILY GET THE CONCUSSION THESE FOOTBALL PLAYERS GOT.

EXPERTS SAY THE SYMPTOMS CAN VARY… OR SHOW UP HOURS LATER… ALTHOUGH SPORTS MEDICINE DR. KATHY WEBER SAYS THERE ARE CERTAIN CLEAR INDICATORS OF A CONCUSSION.

"So there's specific symptoms that we're looking for… do they have a headache, are they dizzy are they a little lethargic… are they just not acting themselves?"

AND DR. WEBBER SAYS THAT'S WHERE PROFESSIONALS LIKE TEAM DOCTORS OR TRAINERS WHO WORK WITH STUDENT ATHLETES. ARE INVALUABLE. THEY KNOW THE PLAYERS.

"I've seen players and everyone else would say they were fine, but I know them and I know they're just not acting right so I know they're probably having an effect from the concussion."

WEBER HERSELF IS THE TEAM DOCTOR FOR THE BULLS AND WHITE SOX, AND SHE SAYS IT'S A COMPLEX INJURY TO TREAT… BECAUSE CONCUSSIONS VARY SO WIDELY FROM PERSON TO PERSON… NO ONE CAN EVEN PINPOINT A STANDARD RECOVERY TIME.

"Not black and white not an broken ankle and you'll return in so many weeks and you'll be back to your sport. We know that in some literature that concussions will heal in three to five days. but not everybody's that way."

WHAT EVERY INJURED ATHLETE DOES NEED AFTER A CONCUSSION. A QUICK DIAGNOSIS.

ONE OF THE BEST PEOPLE TO DO THAT… THE ATHLETE WHO MAY BE INJURED.

FOOTBALL CONCUSSIONS-ONCAM

SO EXPERTS SAY ATHLETES SHOULD BE EDUCATED ON THE WARNING SIGNS OF A CONCUSSION.

REST IS ALSO A CRUCIAL PART OF RECOVERY-

KIRSTIE ALLEY AND HER PARTNER, MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY, BECAME THE SEVENTH ALL-

STAR TEAM CUT FROM THE COMPETITION.

BUT ALONG THE WAY, THEY SURE HAD A BLAST.

maksim chmerkovskiy: if you don't laugh around her, you have zero sense of

humor and you're probably not alive.

THOUGH THEIR SCORES NEVER GOT THEM BETTER THAN ONE FROM THE BOTTOM, THEIR

FANS KEPT THEM HERE FOR EIGHT WEEKS.

kirstie alley: I honestly thought we'd be voted off any second every single

show. and our fans are insanely amazing. thank you for staying up all

night, voting for us every week.

KIRSTIE DOESN'T GET THE MIRROR BALL TROPHY.

SO I DECIDED TO GIVE HER A LITTLE CONSOLATION PRIZE JUST BECAUSE.

kirstie alley: i'm excited. oh my god! oh my god! look how beautiful.

kirstie alley: look, that's me, in another life.

THE NIGHT'S SECOND ELIMINATION CAME MINUTES LATER.

t.v. clip: "gilles and peta."

GILLES MARINI AND HIS PARTNER, PETA MURGATROYD, CAME JUST ONE ELIMINATION

AWAY FROM NEXT WEEK'S SEMI-FINALS.

peta murgatroyd: he's just so good and he's such a hard worker and it's

just like, it's not fair. you should be there in the finals!

gilles marini: yeah, well, this is life right? ha.

GILLES SAID HE'D BE TEACHING HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER THAT IT'S OKAY TO LOSE.

BESIDES, HE WON A FRIEND IN THIS WHOLE ADVENTURE.

gilles marini: i'm taking away peta murgatroyd in my heart, in my life. I

met someone exquisite. there's pretty much no word for peta.

BUT PETA HAD A FEW WORDS ABOUT GILLES, SAID THROUGH A FEW TEARS.

peta murgatroyd: he's amazing and he's taught me a whole lot of life

lessons and, yeah, a friend for life.

ON-CAMERA CLOSE:

GEORGE: WE'VE JUST BEEN THROUGH A TOUGH DOUBLE ELIMINATION AND THEY'LL BE

ANOTHER TOUGH DOUBLE ELIMINATION NEXT WEEK. IN LOS ANGELES, GEORGE

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.

A sun and cloud mix will continue across Southwest Florida this Wednesday, and even an isolated shower may develop during the day as the warmth and moisture build up a bit more.

Overall, our rain prospects will stay low enough so that most of us stay dry, but there appears to be just enough moisture and energy to support a couple spotty showers; these, however, should affect less than 20% of the area.

Afternoon temperatures will continue to warm one or two degrees above average with most spots seeing highs in the low to mid 80s. Winds will primarily be out of the east northeast from 5-10 with some gusts up to 15 mph. You may also notice the air becoming slightly more humid today, something we'll keep feeling until the next surge of cool, dry air arrives this weekend.

Our atmosphere becomes a little more stable Thursday, holding our rain chance below 10%. Clouds should also diminish a little more, making way for more sunshine. Look for afternoon highs Thursday to return to the low to mid 80s.

Friday looks to be another warm day with a mix of sun and clouds and relatively low rain chances, but our rain chances will get a little boost come Saturday.

Think of Saturday as a transition day as some cool air begins to settle into Southwest Florida. During this transition day, we'll likely see an increase in cloud cover Saturday morning along with some widely scattered showers. As the clouds begin to fade by Saturday evening, temperatures and humidity levels should begin to drop.

Temperatures Saturday night into Sunday morning should cool into the upper 50s, and daytime highs Sunday will likely stay in the mid to upper 70s. A brisk northerly winds combined with a drop in humidity will make the air nice and refreshing.
