CROSSTALK (ALLYSON DANCE GFX)-CAM 9 WX EST

FORECAST-WXWALL

We're in store for a slightly cooler, seasonable Tuesday across Southwest Florida now that another cool front has cleared the area. After starting with morning temperatures in the upper 50s, we'll warm to the mid 70s during the afternoon, which is right around average for this time of year.

The only complication with today's weather will be cloud cover as we're right under a steady stream of thin cirrus clouds, which will likely dim our sunshine for most of the day.

Winds will be a little stronger today out of the northeast between 5-15 mph with some gusts up to 20.

By tonight, the veil of cirrus clouds should begin to thin out a bit more, leading to a partly cloudy to mostly clear sky by early Wednesday morning.

Temperatures will be a bit cooler tonight with overnight lows dipping into the low 50s and even some 40s deeper inland. Most of urban Southwest Florida will cool to near 52°, but locations farther north and deeper inland will see the potential for temperatures to drop as low as the mid 40s.

Wednesday should be much sunnier as the high thin clouds continue to exit, so mostly sunny should fit the bill tomorrow. Even with the cooler start Wednesday morning, daytime high should be roughly the same as today with afternoon temperatures warming into the mid 70s.

After another cool morning with lows in the upper 40s early Thursday, a gradual warm up will begin Thursday afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 70s. By Saturday, afternoon highs will be close to 80°, but another cool front is expected to swing through late Saturday, which will lower temperatures close to average once again by the late weekend into early next week.

With such a moisture-starved atmosphere, rain prospects will stay very low through the next seven days even as the next front passes through this weekend.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

It was four days of terror, seen in these first videos from inside recorded

Three of them American.

Erin Lovelady: "We asked him all the time 'do you feel safe? Do you feel

safe going if you don't feel safe you don't have to go.' And he goes 'oh I

feel so safe - nothing's happened there in so long

Among the Americans able to get out was Steven Wysocki of

Colorado, whose wife told ABC News of his harrowing tale.

Kristi Wysocki: " My feeling of it is he's been to hell and back.

Wysocki's wife says her husband hid from the terrorists in his office at the

gas plant facility, often under his desk, before making a run for it.

Kristi Wysocki: "He was there in hiding for about two and a half days,

within two or three feet of some of the terrorists, at times, some of his

friends didn't make it. There were a couple of times when he said he truly

did think he was going to die."

Algerian authorities say the attackers were heavily armed and one of them

spoke perfect English, believed to be from Canada.

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--

EVERY SUPER BOWL IS AN ECONOMIC MEGA-BOOST FOR THE HOST CITY, AND DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN WORKING IN OVERDRIVE TO BE READY FOR THE CROWDS.

"This block here is precisely the place where jazz began."

OWNERS OF LITTLE GEMS SALOON SET OUT TO REVITALIZE THE 100-YEAR-OLD BUILDING IN TIME FOR SUPER BOWL.

"From a construction point of view, this was a tremendous challenge, and it was a race to be open in business now."

IT WAS A QUICK TURNAROUND.

CONSTRUCTION BEGAN IN AUGUST.

THE OFFICIAL GRAND OPENING WAS HELD SUNDAY NIGHT.

WHILE CROWDS AT WALK-ONS WATCHED AS THE TEAMS WERE DECIDED, MANAGERS HERE HAVE SPENT SEVERAL MONTHS LAYING OUT A GAME PLAN AND PREPPING THE STAFF.

"We're staffed up more-so than usual just to ensure that everything is taken care of. We want glasses full and stomachs full." "We hope everybody in the city comes to this place, at least hangs out for a little while, buys one drink or just an appetizer."

THE BAR MANAGER IS EXPECTING TO BRING IN DOUBLE THE REVENUE THAN THEY TYPICALLY GET DURING A REGULAR SEASON SAINTS GAME.

"It's usually the best days of the month or the year for us, so if we can at least meet that and exceed that, then we'll be happy with it."

OVER ON BOURBON STREET, HARD ROCK CAFE -- AN OLD CLASSIC -- PUSHED TO OPEN ITS NEW LOCATION AHEAD OF THE GAME-DAY CROWDS.

"Being so close to Canal, we expect with all the hotels on Canal, the Super Bowl crowds should just be massive coming down, and we're all very excited to have the Super Bowl in New Orleans again, and so close to Mardi Gras, it's going to be an amazing three-week period."

THEY'RE RELYING ON PRIOR EXPERIENCE TO GET THEM THROUGH.

CASSEY FERRAN REPORTING --

STORM WARN GENERIC CLIP-CLIP

CROSSTALK-CAM 9 WX EST

FORECAST-WX WALL

We're in store for a slightly cooler, seasonable Tuesday across Southwest Florida now that another cool front has cleared the area. After starting with morning temperatures in the upper 50s, we'll warm to the mid 70s during the afternoon, which is right around average for this time of year.

The only complication with today's weather will be cloud cover as we're right under a steady stream of thin cirrus clouds, which will likely dim our sunshine for most of the day.

Winds will be a little stronger today out of the northeast between 5-15 mph with some gusts up to 20.

By tonight, the veil of cirrus clouds should begin to thin out a bit more, leading to a partly cloudy to mostly clear sky by early Wednesday morning.

Temperatures will be a bit cooler tonight with overnight lows dipping into the low 50s and even some 40s deeper inland. Most of urban Southwest Florida will cool to near 52°, but locations farther north and deeper inland will see the potential for temperatures to drop as low as the mid 40s.

Wednesday should be much sunnier as the high thin clouds continue to exit, so mostly sunny should fit the bill tomorrow. Even with the cooler start Wednesday morning, daytime high should be roughly the same as today with afternoon temperatures warming into the mid 70s.

After another cool morning with lows in the upper 40s early Thursday, a gradual warm up will begin Thursday afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 70s. By Saturday, afternoon highs will be close to 80°, but another cool front is expected to swing through late Saturday, which will lower temperatures close to average once again by the late weekend into early next week.

With such a moisture-starved atmosphere, rain prospects will stay very low through the next seven days even as the next front passes through this weekend.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.
