difference between yesterday and today. 52 degrees right now at tampa. 45 in inverness, brooksville at 49. the temperatures have been falling all night. i do expect they will fall a few more degrees before sun rise and then will start to gradually come back up. today. we have winds coming in from the north behind this cold front. the rain is well to our south. the clouds have cleared out of tampa bay now. so as the sun comes up this morning, we are going to see a lot of it today. so it will be a good-looking day, but boy is it going be noticeably different out there with those chilly winds gusting to about 25 or 30 miles per hour today. both hands on the wheel, of course as you head across the area, bridges we will check in to see if there are any will alert for you for your morning commute due to those winds but again as far as day goes, pretty nice day. it is just on the cool side, this weekend we will have another chance for rain, as an area of low pressure works to the south. so our strongest chance for rain will be in the southern counties on saturday afternoon and evening but cer

brooksville, spring leavy county. that will be the area wheres they pick up the rains first with gusty winds out ahead of it. then, by 9:00, 10:00, the rest of the area gets involved. the best area oar highest likelihood of anything rougher would be in our northern counties. so if anybody is under any kind of a watch tomorrow, i suspect it would be citrus and hernando county. and even then, probably borderline at that. once we go from the mid-morning hours by 2:00, 3:00, highlands, hardy, desoto, maybe a few lingering showers. then, folks, it's over. we'll be tracking it overnight. we'll be here first thing in the morning along with shay ryan and myself. we'll have everything for you on www.abcactionnews.com, facebook, twitter, and right here as well. but at this point, i think the chances are slim. it's like an afternoon storm in the summertime. maybe not as much lightning as in those storms. and we're in a slight risk of severe weather. so we can't completely write it off. about 1/2 inch to 3/4 of an inch before it's said and done. temperatures still mild on wednesday, low to m

getting a little bit of rain that will move across i- 75. north brooksville. pine island, you're seeing the drier air starting to filter in. anywhere north of i-4 you're in good shape. it's south of i-4 where we have the concern. the biggest concern because of population density and the severity of this storm cell is this area i'm zooming in on right now. it is just north of englewood. moving across 45 around south venice. it's going to be moving across the i-75 corridor right here near north port. support charlotte. you're not -- port charlotte. you're not completely out of the mix. gusty winds. we're talking about some heavy downpours. potential for rotation which does mean tornado -- a possibility of a tornado. we are looking at a tornado warning in that area. it's in effect for another 17 minutes. actually 16 minutes now. so i'll put the radar off and you can see this warning. it extends from rotunda to south venice. it's across 45. if you're in the englewood area, that is where the -- you're the main target. that storm system. >> sorry to interrupt you. more questions for you from

, 73 in tampa and brooksville, crystal river at 72. now, this is the severe weather outlook. you're looking at us shaded in green. this is where the storm prediction center put us in a marginal risk category, meaning act a 5% chance we could see organized severe weather that would be tornadic, about a 2% chance we'd see a tornado and 5% chance we'd see damaging winds or large hail. bottom line, at 2:00 in the morning as we speed this forward, that's where the line of stronger storms starts to move in. then it continues to move on top of tampa bay between 3:00 and 4:00 a.m. i think the commute for the far as heavy rain is concerned. but the biggest concern here is that we're going to continue to see the wet roads through the morning commute. of course there's that concern, as minimal as it is, that we could see a severe storm overnight while you're sleeping. storm shield on your mobile device, it's key here between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., for the widespread rain and possibly damaging winds or large hail, even isolated tornado can't be ruled out. we'll be cooler tomorrow than i'll sh

the low 40s right now, in inverness, brooksville at 44. tampa at 48. st. pete one of milest spots at 52 degrees, now this is just slightly below average for this time of year: it is sump a strong contrast to lately, and that's why we are make such a big deal out of it. it is so noticeable. winds are come prosecuting the north. it will support the cooler air through the day and you can see the boundary well too the south, the rain, to the south along with it. and more sunshine through the day, as those clouds press south: but the chilly winds stay with us, keeping us feeling really cool. so again, this weekend, phone tuning the timing of that rain, it is not looking bad at all. in fact what we are going to see is just a slight chance for a few showers through the afternoon and into the evening on saturday. i think most of the daytime hours on saturday will be dry, and did rain is going be light and it will not be too widespread. so just something to keep in mind, as you plan your day for saturday. as you understand is going to be dry but breezy again, and with the high of 60 after sta

19 so if you're watching us from brooksville the rain is on top of you. again nothing severe, moderate rain, getting heavier to crystal river but we're not talking about any severe weather now. that is still off-shore, the strongest of the thunderstorms. stillen stillen -- still an hour from you as everything heads north and east. a break in the middle. then this cluster has to get through our central and southern counties. that won't happen until about 9:00 to 12:00. there's a lot of lightning associated with this. i must say this cell i've been showed significant rotation off- shore. it was stronger and has been on a weakening trend. so that is certainly excellent news. you can still get strong winds but i like the trend as as i see it now. 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. for strong thunderstorms across the northern and into our central and southern counties. that is when we're talking about 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. i think the main threat will be damaging wind potential. 60 mile-per-hour, 70 mile-per- hour winds can't be ruled out. isolated tornadoes to the north where we have the tornad

you're going to find out first. 74 degrees in tampa now. 74 brandon. brooksville 75. on average we should be starting the day around 53, ending the day at 71. so boy, are we above average. the record 84 degrees, i think we'll still remain below that because the clouds will start to build through the afternoon keeping us from heating up too much more. low 80s certainly not out of the question for much of the then tomorrow temperatures come down through the afternoon as a result of that rain building in. the extra cloud cover with it. then check out friday, cool air moves in first thing in the morning so we make it to highs in the mid-60s. the weekend has a lot of questions with it. we have another area of low pressure and cold front that is going to move through. this model run this morning showed it picked up a lot of speed so basically yesterday we're looking at no rain on saturday and now looks like our heaviest rain will be in the afternoon and evening on saturday. so again we'll fine-tune the timing of this, the intensity and how much the temperatures will change along with thi
