GOOD MORNING SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

TODAY IS SATURDAY - NOVEMBER 24TH.

I'M JOE ROETZ.

BEFORE WE GET TO ALL OF TODAY'S BIG STORIES-

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 a beautiful Thanksgiving holiday, our spectacular weather will carry over into the weekend.

There will be a chill in the air early this morning as temperatures have dipped near the 50° mark here in town, with upper 40s east of the I-75 corridor. Abundant sunshine will fill our skies early in the day with a gradual warm up into the mid 70s with a light northerly breeze.

Through the afternoon, a cold front will continue to cross the peninsula in a weakened state. It will push through Southwest Florida with very little fanfare as this boundary will remain moisture starved; meaning we'll see a cloud or two dotting our skies with no measurable rain.

Clear skies will prevail through the evening hours with temperatures cooling into the 60s around sunset. As a reinforcing shot of cool and dry air sinks down the state, this will set the stage for another chilly overnight period with thermometer readings near 50° here in town with mid to upper 40s across our inland and northern communities.

Our string of chilly mornings and mild afternoons will continue as dry high pressure keeps a firm grip on our weather. Winds will eventually take more of an easterly turn early in the week, which will promote a gradual warming trend with afternoon highs working their way into the low 80s.

BROADWELL NEW DETAILS-TC MON

THERE ARE NEW DETAILS TODAY IN THE DAVID PETRAEUS--PAULA BROADWELL SCANDAL.

BROADWELL NEW DETAILS-PKG

INSIDE DAVID PETRAEUS' COMMAND CENTER IN AFGHANISTAN-- THE BRIEFINGS REGULARLY INCLUDED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. DID SOME OF THAT INFORMATION MAKE ITS WAY TO PAULA BROADWELL, HIS BIOGRAPHER AT THE TIME?

"She would have received material from a number of sources, a number of individuals."

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS CONFIRM TO CNN CONTRIBUTOR TOM FUENTES THAT INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING AT WHETHER BROADWELL-- WHO LATER HAD AN ADULTEROUS AFFAIR WITH PETRAEUS-- WAS GIVEN CLASSIFIED MATERIAL BY PETRAEUS AIDES BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE THOUGHT PETRAEUS WANTED HER TO HAVE IT, AS SHE WAS IN AFGHANISTAN GATHERING MATERIAL FOR HER BOOK 'ALL IN,' A BIOGRAPHY ON THE FOUR-STAR. THE WASHINGTON POST HAD FIRST REPORTED THE DETAILS ABOUT THE PETRAEUS AIDES. PETRAEUS HAS AUTHORIZED FORMER AIDES AND FRIENDS TO TELL REPORTERS HE PERSONALLY NEVER GAVE BROADWELL CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. GOVERNMENT SOURCES HAVE TOLD CNN BROADWELL HAD MATERIAL SUCH AS POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS AND SCHEDULES. BUT FUENTES SAYS WHILE BROADWELL WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HER RESEARCH MATERIAL FROM A LOT OF SOURCES, BE CAREFUL ABOUT JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS.

"To say that -- the implication that the FBI is looking at someone makes it sound like they're the subject of a criminal investigation. And right now that part of it is still in the 'let's determine how this material was provided, who gave it and under what circumstances.'"

EVEN IF THE INFORMATION THE FBI REMOVED FROM BROADWELL'S HOME WAS NOT A RISK TO NATIONAL SECURITY, SHE AND WHOEVER GAVE IT TO HER WILL HAVE PLENTY TO ANSWER FOR.

BROADWELL NEW DETAILS-OC

BARBARA STARR REPORTING.

THERE ARE VERY STRICT RULES IN THE MILITARY ABOUT THE HANDLING AND POSSESSION OF ANY CLASSIFIED MATERIAL.

THE E-MAILS, HEAVILY-REDACTED, HAVE JUST BEEN RELEASED BY THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT-- RESPONDING TO A 'FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT' LAWSUIT BY THE GROUP JUDICIAL WATCH.

A FEW DAYS EARLIER- THAT STRIKE-GROUP COMMANDER HAD ASKED ANOTHER OFFICER: "DO I NEED ANY SPECIAL RELIGIOUS/CEREMONIAL PREPARATIONS?"

AFTER BIN LADEN'S BURIED AT SEA, AN ADMIRAL DESCRIBES THE SCENE:

"TRADITIONAL PROCEDURES FOR ISLAMIC BURIAL WAS FOLLOWED. THE DECEASED'S BODY WAS WASHED THEN PLACED IN A WHITE SHEET. THE BODY WAS PLACED IN A WEIGHTED BAG. A MILITARY OFFICER READ PREPARED RELIGIOUS REMARKS, WHICH WERE TRANSLATED INTO ARABIC BY A NATIVE SPEAKER. AFTER THE WORDS WERE COMPLETE, THE BODY WAS PLACED ON A PREPARED FLAT BOARD, TIPPED UP, WHEREUPON THE DECEASED'S BODY SLID INTO THE SEA."

ACCORDING TO THE E-MAILS, THERE AREN'T MANY WITNESSES.

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 a beautiful Thanksgiving holiday, our spectacular weather will carry over into the weekend.

There will be a chill in the air early this morning as temperatures have dipped near the 50° mark here in town, with upper 40s east of the I-75 corridor. Abundant sunshine will fill our skies early in the day with a gradual warm up into the mid 70s with a light northerly breeze.

Through the afternoon, a cold front will continue to cross the peninsula in a weakened state. It will push through Southwest Florida with very little fanfare as this boundary will remain moisture starved; meaning we'll see a cloud or two dotting our skies with no measurable rain.

Clear skies will prevail through the evening hours with temperatures cooling into the 60s around sunset. As a reinforcing shot of cool and dry air sinks down the state, this will set the stage for another chilly overnight period with thermometer readings near 50° here in town with mid to upper 40s across our inland and northern communities.

Our string of chilly mornings and mild afternoons will continue as dry high pressure keeps a firm grip on our weather. Winds will eventually take more of an easterly turn early in the week, which will promote a gradual warming trend with afternoon highs working their way into the low 80s.
