2012 RECORD HEAT-VIDBOX

2012 IS OFFICIALLY IN THE BOOKS AS THE HOTTEST YEAR ON RECORD.

SCIENTISTS SAY LAST YEAR WAS THE WARMEST FOR THE LOWER 48 STATES.

THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE LAST YEAR WAS OVER 55 DEGREES.

THAT'S ONE DEGREE ABOVE THE PREVIOUS RECORD SET BACK IN 1998.

THIS WINTER WAS THE FOURTH WARMEST ON RECORD,

AND THE SECOND WARMEST SUMMER EVER.

FORECAST-PHC

The warm, humid weather will stay locked in across Southwest Florida for the next several days, and there's even a chance we'll match or break today's record high of 85°.

We were only one degree shy of tying the record yesterday, and today will be another close call.

Even this morning, temperatures will be several degrees above average with morning lows only in the upper 60s and low 70s; normal for this time of year is 54°.

Like yesterday, we'll again see the potential for some fog and low clouds forming, which should only stay with us through mid morning. For the remainder of the day, we'll enjoy a mix of sun and clouds with very warm temperatures as daytime highs reach the mid 80s.

A balmy breeze will also develop out of the southeast today with winds coming in from 5-15 mph with some higher gusts.

A stray shower may develop during the heat of the day, but any shower activity will be pretty spotty.

We really don't expect to see too many changes in our weather through the next several days. There are no cold fronts set to arrive through the remainder of the week, and the long-range forecast models don't hint at another cold coming to Southwest Florida until Thursday of next week.

Until then, the forecast stays warm, humid, and sunny with highs in the low to mid 80s and lows in the mid to upper 60s.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

FORECAST-PHC

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.RECORD HEAT IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA

We hit 88 degrees at Page Field in Fort Myers today … and that sets a new record high temperature for this date. The old record was set back in 1974 and was 85 degrees. It's also interesting to note that the warmest daytime high temperature in the month of January ever recorded at Page Field is 88 degrees. So, today's record ties the all-time January high temperature as well.

The forecast tonight is for quiet and mild weather. Skies will be partly cloudy and, unlike last night, there are no showers on the radar this evening. Temperatures tonight will dip below 70 and land in the upper 60's by tomorrow morning. As a side note: the average low for this time of year is 54 and the average high is 74. We are obviously predicting weather much warmer than that!

A large area of high pressure is anchored in the Atlantic and will continue to deliver warm southeasterly winds across the area. Under partly cloudy skies we will be back in the mid to upper 80's by tomorrow afternoon. In fact, we may tie or set another record high again tomorrow.

ORANGES & RECORD HEAT-VO WIPE

ALREADY IN BLOOM.

THE RECORD HIGHS ARE NO GOOD THING TO FLORIDA CITRUS GROWERS.

FARMERS ARE CONCERNED THE WARMER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES COULD AFFECT THE FUTURE OF FLORIDA'S CASH CROP--ORANGES.

SOME GROWERS TELL US THEIR CITRUS TREES ARE ALREADY BLOOMING, WHICH USUALLY DOESN'T HAPPEN UNTIL MARCH.

IF WE DO EXPERIENCE A FREEZE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS--THESE BLOOMS THAT EVENTUALLY TURN INTO ORANGES---WILL DIE.

ORANGES & RECORD HEAT-SOT VO

00.46.17 These are even little oranges already. If we get a cold spell that's going to burn them things back and they'll die.

THERE IS A CHANCE THE TREES CAN BLOOM AGAIN AND STILL PRODUCE FRUIT FOR NEXT SEASON.

TZ5 A TACO T SHIRT CONTROVERSY-VO

BUMP SHOT-BUMP IN

TACO T SHIRT CONTROVERSY-2SHOT

CALL IT 'TEX MEX WITH SHOCK VALUE.'

A SOUTH CAROLINA MEXICAN RESTAURANT IS GAINING NATIONAL ATTENTION FOR THE T-SHIRT THEIR EMPLOYEES WEAR AND SELL.

WHILE SOME THINK THE SHIRT'S MESSAGE IS FUNNY, OTHERS CALL IT OFFENSIVE.

TACO T SHIRT CONTROVERSY-PKG

DON'T LET THE EMPTY PARKING LOT FOOL YOU.BUSINESS INSIDE TACO CID IN WEST COLUMBIA IS BOOMING.BUT IT'S NOT FOR THE FOOD. IT'S FOR THIS, A $35 T-SHIRT STATING 'HOW TO TRAP AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT'.USING.WELL.A TACO.

I can't get them off the phone long enough to ring them up.

OWNER LEANNE SNELGROVE SAYS SHE'S GETTING CALLS FROM ALL OVER THE NATION, AFTER A TWEET OF THE SHIRT WENT VIRAL. IN FACT SHE HAS ONE EMPLOYEE DEDICATED TO ANSWERING THE CALLS.

You see what they're paying

THAT'S THE PRICE FOR THREE SHIRTS.SNELGROVE IS CASHING IN ON THE CONTROVERSIAL MESSAGE -- SHE SAYS WAS MEANT TO BE AND FUNNY AND POLITICAL.

We're definitely not racists. Illegal immigrants come from all over the world. Whether it be from France, Canada. I mean it doesn't matter. They just don't come from Mexico, like what everybody is screaming.

BUT ONE WOMAN OUTSIDE TACO SID WONDERS WHAT EXTENT THE RESTAURANT WOULD GO TO. IF OTHER STEREOTYPICAL FOOD WAS USED AS BAIT.

Lets say you were to put a watermelon underneath a box or some chicken? What type of message would you be sending? So she equated it to that. So what do you say about that. I would never go to that extent. I would never go to that extent. That's crazy. That's starting to get too racial.

AND EVEN WITH EVERY RING BRINGING IN MONEY, THERE'S A DOWN SIDE.

We've gotten threats. They're gonna shoot us when we come out of the building. All of that. We've gotten it from both angles. But all in all, more support than anything.

SNELGROVE'S ONLY HISPANIC CO-WORKER IS TAKING SHIRT ORDERS. RILEY SAYS SHE'S NOT OFFENDED, BUT DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ON-CAMERA. THIS CUSTOMER ORDERED ONE FOR HIS RELATIVE WHO HEARD ABOUT IT IN PITTSBURGH.

I can see it being somewhat offensive but it's just images.

BUT EVERYONE DOESN'T FEEL THE SAME WAY. FOR BRENDA, IT'S AN IMAGE SHE FINDS DISTURBING -- WITH SOME RACIAL UNDERTONES.

I don't know, it just kind off saddens me.

TITO HILL-GUEBARA A LATINO PASTOR IN COLUMBIA BELIEVES THE SHIRTS ARE RIDICULOUS. HE SAYS THE MESSAGE IS DISRESPECTFUL.AND PERPETUATES AN UN-NECESSARY STEREOTYPE ABOUT HISPANICS.
