STORMWARN 7 JP WX OPEN-CLIP

WEATHER-PWC

The stretch of cool weather we've had in place for the last few days will start to fade away today, and it looks as though this will be the last morning with temperatures in the 40s for the remainder of the week.

Once temperatures start to climb after sunrise, we'll be on track to warm well into the 70s by the afternoon and even closing in on 80° in some spots; that's a warm up of about 5 degrees compared to yesterday's highs.

Like yesterday, our sky will stay mostly sunny from morning to afternoon, but now that our winds are coming in from the southeast, expect increasing humidity and a few more patchy clouds. Rain will not be in the forecast today, and rain chances are looking pretty slim for the remainder of the week as well.

Across northern parts of Florida, we're tracking as weak disturbance that will bring more cloud cover and a few showers to areas mostly north of Orlando and the I-4 corridor, so the bulk of this weather system will not have much of an influence on our local weather. We will, however, continue to see the wind flow become more southerly, which means the warmth and moisture keeps building in as we go through the rest of the week.

By Wednesday, humidity will keep creeping up, and temperatures will follow suit as we see daytime highs breaking into the 80s. More clouds will also develop during the day, but sunshine will continue to be our main weather player.

LAST YEAR AMERICANS SPENT MORE THAN 170 MILLION DOLLARS ON HAND SANITIZERS TO GET THOSE GERMS OFF.

THAT MEANS KNOWING WHICH ONES REALLY WORK CAN SAVE YOU A LOT OF MONEY -- AND A LOT OF GRIEF.

WE TESTED TWO KINDS YOU'LL FIND AT THE STORE --

ONE WITH 60 PERCENT ALCOHOL AND ONE SO-CALLED NATURAL FORMULA CONTAINING *NO ALCOHOL.

THE KEY WITH HAND SANITIZERS IS TO USE *ENOUGH* OF IT

GFX TIMER -

A GOOD GUIDE --

YOUR HANDS SHOULD TAKE 15 SECONDS OR LONGER TO DRY AFTER YOU USE IT.

ONCE OUR TEST GROUP USED IT --

THEY PRESSED THEIR HANDS ONTO SPECIAL TEST PLATES TO GROW ANY BACTERIA LEFT BEHIND.

GFX /

THE RESULTS?

THOSE GRAYING SPOTS ARE THE E-COLI THAT GREW FROM UNWASHED HANDS "*AFTER" - USING HAND SANITIZER WITH 60 PERCENT ALCOHOL.

GFX / BUT THE FORMULA WITHOUT ALCOHOL? YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY GERMS WERE LEFT BEHIND.

HERE'S WHY --

ALCOHOL-BASED HAND SANITIZERS BREAK UP THE BACTERIA'S CELL WALLS AND KILLS THEM.

BOOZE AND DIET SODA-VO

BACARDI DIET.
