very chilly temperatures over all. got some showers down to the south of us. also back to the west of us you can see it continues to roll along in that now familiar pattern from west to east the way the clouds have been moving here the last 24 hours. 63degrees right now in the downtown area. plenty of clouds are on the daybreak too. notice the possibility of seeing thunderstorms early in the day. there's a possibility of cool air that's in place. that can change so stay tuned to lead tomorrow morning and we'll continue to keep you posted here. 65degrees largo, pinellas park. mostly 60s and overcast at most of these locations and of course the cloudy skies that you see here on the map. low pressure continues to the west. this is the feature that brings us the possibility of some severe weather. a warm front moving out ahead of that. the showers the clouds moving from west to east. rain possible later this evening and then overnight. but especially the morning hour. the commute time with the possibility of seeing

thunderstorms develop. because we're in that el nino phase we can't rule out that possibility of seeing tornadoes. that's a very real deal. alex too, 85 miles per hour. this is a hurricane in january. hurricane warnings in place for the azors. extremely rare for this to happen. 1938 is the last time a storm actually started a hurricane in the month of january. forecast to stay we'll to the east. no concern for florida at all. but there it is on the satellite imagery. just rough weather patterns all over the world. and showers will continue to move our way. as i mentioned for the morning commute there's a possibility of showers, potentially a thunderstorm. then back to the west as well. you can see this line sliding our way. timing on that around 1:20 p.m. still the possibility of storms. and then by late afternoon everything pushes quickly to the east and things just get barely windy. as we head into saturday, some fog possible.

as that low clears the area it certainly will be less windy. then saturday afternoon is looking pretty good over all. but again tomorrow morning the possibility of seeing some thunderstorms. 75degrees on saturday, nice day. 75degrees. pretty nice and warm compared to where we've been of late. temperatures start to fall again for sunday at 66 degrees another cold front pushes on in. and we feel the effects of that monday, tuesday and wednesday temps drop back near 60 degrees. at a lot of these locations. slowly crawl back once again but over all those are some pretty chilly numbers for us and very high rain chance for tomorrow. in case there's any severe weather advisories this morning. we'll pass it along to you. we're just seeing the nfl tweeting the bucks have a new head coach. >> breaking news, no big surprise here. we've been talking about this for a while. dirk cutter is now the new head coach according to the nfl. paul ryan our sports guy is going to have more details tails on this coming up. this sounds like it. it was in the works almost from day one once we heard that

lovie smith was on the way out. but the bucks are going to be hiring this defensive coordinator. >> from within, their new head coach dirk cutter. details of course still to come on who he may name as his coaching squad. but more to come tonight for sure. >> winston has to be one of the happier guys in camp. the quarterback had an outstanding year and a lot of the question goes to mr. cutter, coach cutter. so we're going to go a commercial break and come back with more details on this. breaking news, new head coach for the tampa bay buccaneers. >> paul ryan with details

breaking news at the top of sports tonight, the nfl coaching carusel is still spinning but it appears the bucks have selected their next horsie.

dirk cutter as their next coach. adam schefter as well as every local beat writer. seems like it's just a matter of minutes or hours before the buccaneers make it official. cutter who was the buck's offensive coordinator led tampa bay to the largest ever season yardage total and has been the favorite since the day lovie smith was dismissed. the dominoes began falling since chip kelly who was fired in late december was named head coach of the san francisco 49ers. the 49ers were the only known team with a head coaching vacancy to interview cutter. the eagles later announced they'd be naming former chief coordinator peterson as their next head coach. meaning the tennessee titans are now the only nfl team still searching for a coach. light will have to go back to work to look for a coordinator.

robinson who's from union city tennessee spent the last two seasons with the bucks organizization. so not necessarily a surprise to anyone who has ties with the bucks, but this cutter deal now that it's official i think the bucks can finally start moving forward and start piecing a staff together. >> interestingly the nfl is saying this is a done deal. the bucks haven't officially. >> the press release takes time. there's probably still things they're hammering out. and they are probably working on a presser. >> and there's also news on cutter. >> and he was asking whether certain guys wanted to jump ship. one of those big names, smith. he seems like the odd on favor to become the next dc. and it's yet to see whether the

bucks will hire an oc. remember they didn't have one last year. >> big breaking news. >> i think it seems like a good try. >> this is a guy the buccaneers thought they couldn't afford to lose. lovie smith became expendable. cutter not so much. >> the evening news is next. >> have a great night. we were below the 88th southern parallel. we had traveled for over 850 miles. my men driven nearly mad from starvation and frostbite.
