i'm josh benson. >> and i'm stacie schaible. this is first at 4:00. right now it is still warm and really muggy outside. but this rain is making way for a huge drop in temperatures overnight. so for the latest on that, let's go to meteorologist julie phillips. >> good afternoon, stacie. the rain is slow to move in this afternoon. it is bringing with it decent showers across the area. here is a look at the plantation on crystal river. we have picked up 1.6 inches of rain. areas to the south not so much. right here we have seen decent rainfall totals today. here is the cold front we're tracking, moving into the tampa bay area. we have been dealing with the clouds all day long. the rain was slow to move in. the cold front easing along. but the showers and storms have finally arrived. not a ton of lightning with this.

we are dealing with downpours in tampa bay. in the northern spots, we have lightning strikes in citrus county. tracking very heavy wayne through wesley chapel and pasco. but there's more rain behind it. and the showers extend from pebble creek to temple terrace and rain moving into south tampa right now. so if you're in eastern hillsborough county, the rain is headed your way and should be there in the next 30 minutes. the southern areas, you're wondering where is the rain. it's coming your way and you will likely see scattered showers through the evening hours as it pushes in. the other big change is the temperatures. we're still in the upper 70s in the inland areas. check out the northern spots. we have dropped back to the mid- 60s. as we take a step farther back, we're in the 50s in the northern spots and looking at a prolonged cold smell ahead -- spell ahead. we will look at the

drones getting in the way of the helicopters. that's one reason why they don't want them out here. also obviously, they don't want them crashing into the participants out in the water. this weekend there be local law enforcement and the fbi patrolling and looking for drones. if a drone is spotted, the races will be stopped until the drone is removed from the area. if you're coming down for the races, leave the drones at home. john rogers, news channel 8. today rain or shine, the show will go on. >> today is opening day for the florida state fair. that's where we found rod carter live at the state fairgrounds in hillsborough county. great assignment today, rod. >> reporter: you know what, when you say rain or shine, you mean it. it's been sprinkling off and on. there's so much to do here. so much food. oh, look. somebody left me pizza. wasn't that nice? let's go for a walk.

>> joining us now for another look at our crazy weather. wet today and then it will be cold. it can't make up its mind, julie. >> it can't. we had temperatures in the 80s to start the week. a different story this weekend. the winter clothes. >> if you like -- >> enjoy it. >> if you like bad weather, enjoy that. if you like sunny weather, you get that too.

and thought where is the rain. it is here. we actually have cool video. not from the tampa bay area but nasty weather in australia. a lightning strike that scares a couple of weather wanters there. nick and danielle had decided yes. they told the television station they felt the static from the lightning. whoa. not a good situation there. thankfully they did not take the boat out. always pay attention to the weather forecast before you head out in the water. tomorrow probably not a great day either. after the rain clears out, tomorrow morning will be sunny but much cooler. temperatures down into the 40s. check out those winds, coming in out of the north between 20 to 25 miles per hour. so it's going to be chilly throughout the day. we only make it up to 60 in the afternoon hours. beautiful blue sky. with the cooler temperatures and the stronger winds, it's definitely going to be a brisk day.

currently out ahead of the cold front we're tracking. you can see the showers and storms have moved on shore pushing east across the tampa bay area and portions of citrus county and also the eastern portions of citrus county. tracking heavy rain moving through dade city, heading for zephyrhills and some outs in the gulf pushing in. if you like the rain, you will see a couple bit more in the next couple of hours. just starting to see rain move into manatee, sarasota county. it's just taking longer to get to you. there's the front moving south to us. after midnight tonight, the rain chances are over with. when you wake up tomorrow, it will be dry. the north winds bringing in the cooler air. we're in the 40s for pretty much all of us. and breezy throughout the day which makes it feel even cooler. lots of sunshine. as we head into saturday, notice the cloud cover returns. it will be partly sunny.

saturday afternoon and saturday evening as well. but the rain chances looking lower than what we first thought. and then this area of low pressure really starts to develop east of us. that's why the rain chances are not so great. it develops in the atlantic. north winds behind the system and it's chilly again for super bowl sunday. just stay inside is probably what you will want to do. low 60s and notice temperatures in the 50s and 60s for all of next week as well. >> thanks, julie. today is facebook's 12th birthday. it's celebrating by declaring it friends day and giving users a personalized video with videos of their friends. i liked mine. how has facebook changed the way that we communicate? today 8 on your side has answers. jonathan sellers from illuminate local is here. thank you for being other -- thank you for being here.

>> when i woke up this morning, what was it like back then? i went back and i thought what were the smart phones like back then? it was really surprising because it was -- it was the color blackberries and the color palms. so the color screens had just become a screen. 3g was available for the first time. >> look at that. i remember those. >> and 1.3 megapixel cameras is what we were clamoring for. >> and now how many megapixels are we at. >> 12, 14, 18, 20, depending on the phone. >> that's why our pictures are so good. >> definitely. and now we're talking about 4g internet. we're actually talking about in the not so distant few fur 5g. we have wireless internet access everywhere. and throughout this -- through this -- this all happened over the 12 years. like the whole infrastructure changed. >> i don't go a day without checking facebook personally. there are a lot of people that

>> they really have changed how we communicate, interact with each other. >> in fact, we have three things that you think that facebook has changed our lives day-to-day. the three are connectivity, communication, and access. those are the three. >> absolutely. so connectivity. think about it. if you were 30 years old in 2004, you didn't have a way of connecting with all of the people that you went to college and high school with. if you're 30 years old today, you probably are connected to every one of them. interaction, you know, if you wanted to go out and set up a meeting, let's meet up somewhere with a group of friends. you had to call everybody, accepted a text message. now one person makes a post on facebook and you're there. you post an event, everybody knows it. you can remind them automatically. >> and access to information right at your fingertips. >> that is the biggest thing. it has changed the way that we find out information. information and entertainment. really it taylors it to what we

>> interesting stuff. thank you. appreciate t. also today facebook's popular messaging service what's app claims it has topped the 1 billion user mark worldwide. that's up from 900 million in september. facebook paid $19 billion for what's app in 2014 but the service has yet to figure out how to make money. let's head over now -- >> i miss the nokia ring tone. do you remember that one. let's talk about the super bowl. when the denver broncos and the carolina panthers on sunday most of us will be hitting the buffet line. erica edwards shows us how to have a lot of fun while watching what we eat. >> super bowl, baby. >> reporter: the only thing that gets football fans fired up more than their favorite teams playing in the super bowl is the food that goes with it. >> couples, beers -- chips, beers, yeah.

bowl menu is so filling that some estimate a person can consume as many as 2,000 calories on game day. >> i start my diet the following morning. >> reporter: one of the biggest culprits is the chicken wing. three to five can have as many as 300 calories and no one only eats three to five. >> chicken wings are calorie and fat grenades. >> reporter: lisa suggests replacing wings with chicken tenders. also swap out sour cream and dips for greek yogurt and stick with light beer. >> the higher alcohol content of the beer, the higher calorie content of the beer. >> reporter: and the best defense against an entire bowl of chips and dip ending up on your end zone is a plate. experts say fill it up once and then turn your back on the buffet table and get back into the game. super bowl sunday is considered the second largest day of food consumption in the country. it really is just one day.

indulge a little and get back on track on monday. reporting in charlotte, north carolina clearly without any bias whatever, i'm erica edwards. >> you can add peas to guacamole. think of that. but it adds nutrients and proteins and helps it stay the green color as well. if you're curious who the manatees choose to win on sunday's game, they like the broncos this year. they live at the mote aquarium. he has picked 7 out of 8 in pastaers. >> i think it's buffet like jimmy buffet. >> i've got buffet on my mind. >> super bowl. >> speaking of buffets, hey, this guy. >> how many football games have those manatees watched. >> i did not know that. >> welcome. >> my super bowl pick is

>> my producer says buffet. we're talking about hockey now. >> okay. the tampa bay lightning plays 14 games in february. the shortest month of the year. fortunately that comes on the heels of the all-star breaks so the bolts are fresh. which is convenient because break time is over. the bolts already back at practice this afternoon, just 12 hours after beating the red wings 3-1. tampa bay hosts pittsburgh tomorrow. for now they can savior the critical win against their division rival. >> the first 20 minutes after a break like that it's a feel out process. and i think we came out and kind of felt it out and that second we picked it up. it was a big game. one of the bigger ones of the year, if not the biggest. you have to take care of the home ice when you have a chance like we did tonight. and they're a good team. any time that you can beat them in regulation and take the two points, it's good. enjoy it for a couple seconds and get ready for pittsburgh.

it's crunch time. to get a win against detroit is huge. >> tampa bay took advantage of the power play chances against three opportunities. the bolts are middle of the road with the extra man this season, converting at a 19% clip. last night that unit looked especially dangerous. >> in this kind of game, it's kind of a playoff game and you need to score on the power play and give you some momentum. >> for us to score on the power play like we did, get the big opportunities, that's human. we need a lead against that team. you can play a little more defense and kind of rely on that. i thought we did a great job of that. >> ultimately our special teams won us the game. you know, i know they only had two power plays but we kept them off the board and the pp came out with two and that was the difference. >> the usf women's basketball

but discussing the victory is kind of burying the lead. courtney williams was the reallied. the senior guard pulled down 15 rebounds and scored 28 points, including three she will never forget. >> williams goes into the corner fires a 3 from the right wing and it swishes. 2,000 career points for williams. >> williams entered 28 points shy of a milestone. she left it with exactly 2,000 career points. courtney is one of only 11 active players to score that many and just the second bull to do so. >> i was hyped that i made the shop because coach drew the play-up. he was like -- my teammate wished whispered in my ear, if you make this shot, it's 2,000. >> that's hype. i'm feeling hype right now. the bulls take on temple this sunday.

>> i think the numbers speak for themselves. the second ever to score 2,000 points. she has gone to three ncaa tournaments. pretty spectacular career. they're going to hang her jersey up in the rafters there. >> and check out jimmy buffet's new album. i love it. >> does it have a manatee song on it? we'll be right back.

as early as next wednesday. >> similar legislation it the senate has two more hearings before a vote takes place there. now we will switch it up and talk about your forecast. here is meteorologist julie phillips. >> good afternoon, josh. a soggy afternoon for us. you can see the rain coming down out at st. pete beach. i've only picked up .10 of an inch of rain. but we're already starting to see the breezy north winds kick in with the cold front. winds blowing between 20 to 25 miles per hour. temperatures are dropping. as the front moves in, if you haven't stepped out the door yet, it will be cooler as you head home this evening. and it will be really cold overnight. there's the front as it moves through. the showers and storms making their way into the tampa bay area. the rain was slow to arrive today but it has finally made it here. you can see the heaviest of the stuff extending from citrus county south through pinellas county and starting to see rain move into the coastal portions of manatee county as well. a lot of us have seen rain.

we're seeing some of that now. now the big story is the chilly weather. >> winter is back. >> we thought we escaped it. not the case. we have cool temperatures ahead. below average for the entire week ahead. you can see average is 71 for this point in the year. but we're going to be in the 60s next week. really going to be seeing a prolonged cool spell. if you're thinking of heading out to the state fair tomorrow, not dealing with the rain like we saw today. but if you're heading out, make sure you bundle up. at 11:00 a.m. we will be in the low 50s probably. we will top out near 60 tomorrow afternoon. beautiful blue skies for the day. sunshine. but when you factor in the strong winds and the cool temperatures, you will definitely want to make sure that you have a decent jacket with you. by 8:00 p.m., temperatures really starting to drop back into the low 50s again. there's the cold front moving into the tampa bay area right now. the showers and storms along it. haven't seen a whole lot in the

so mainly just heavy downpours coming down. some gusty winds at times. some northern spots seeing heavy downpours moving through places. pine island dealing with steady rain. new port richey, it's really coming down where you are. and this is shifting east. we are tracking plenty of rain in the gulf. it will be a few hours before this completely moves through. heavy rain moving through indian rocks beach, dealing with steady showers coming there anna marie island. interior areas are still warm. northern spots where the north winds have kicked in, the winds have been coming down for a while, we have fallen down to the 60s already. as we take a step back across the state, here is what we're in store for. quite a change when you head towards miami. they're still dealing with the warm air mass and the upper 70s. this cool air is moving in as we speak.

so skies will clear overnight. as you wake up tomorrow morning, it will probably already be mostly sunny. the north winds will be kicking. we're expecting winds gusting over 25 miles per hour through the day. temperatures only making it up to around 60. it will stay cool even into the afternoon. then by saturday, notice a little more cloud cover building. we will watch an area of low pressure developing near us. it will generally miss us and really develop east of florida in the atlantic. we're looking at a chance of showers saturday evening. then by sunday, strong north winds kickback in. so super bowl sunday is looking dry. but chilly and breezy with highs only in the 60s there. for tonight, we're expected to drop down to 44 in west chase and temple terrace. 47 in palm harbor tomorrow morning. so quite a change there as you wake up. get back out the jackets. you will need them. keep them out because you can
