and buying a building for the business. that is a resource that you don't necessarily want to spend that way. maybe look at renting. if you're a service, look at executive suite rental. or renting a warehouse. sometimes they come already with the tools that you need. >> so these big expenses are key. >> big. and don't overstaff right off the bat. be prudent with the money. >> but there are so many good ventures t people luck. and there are more options than ever before. >> and take a risk. that's the big thing, the willingness to take a risk. >> all good advise: >> thank you. >> sure. >> thank you. joining us now for another look at the first at 4:00 weather, julie phillips. the humidity is continuing. >> yes. i wish we could get a break but not quite. a couple more weeks. >> yeah, few weeks. >> by early october, we start to see the first front and that turns off the faucet, the humidity drops.

really bragging. for us now, still warm. although fall officially begins this week. you may not see the usual fall foliage for long this year. autumn starts thursday but droughts will affect the foliage. that means some trees may actually shut down early to prepare for winter. the good news is though, you could see fall colors earlier than usual as you head up north. and of officially starts thursday. the sun is directly above the equator. through the rest of fall and winter, that's when the sun starts to tilt away from the sun and we start to see the shorter day, less sunlight hours and finally cooler temperatures. here's the view from new port richey, 85 degrees. rainfall totals, only .06 so far today.

between 5 to 10 miles per hour. so at 9:00 p.m., we could still see a lingering shower around when you wake up tomorrow morning. a warm start to the day. we're in the mid-70s to begin. and we will keep a small rain chance. and then the showers and thunderstorms will increase as we head into the afternoon and evening. at this point, it's fairly quiet. the bulk of the rain has pushed towards the east coast but tracking a few showers in the area. and you can thunderstorms towards brooksville. and heavy rain in southeastern polk county near the frost proof area. so for us, still have deep moisture in place. and notice the drier air associated with the front off to the north. we're going to get a taste, a little taste of some of this as we head into the middle of the week. for the evening, isolated showers and thunderstorms will mainly be east of i-75. when you wake up tomorrow morning, extra clouds and only

rain, especially south of i-4 into tomorrow due to slightly drier air slipping in. thursday morning will feel more pleasant. and thursday afternoon, we call for just a 20% rain chance in the forecast. the rain chances are dropping off as we head into the end of the week. this weekend, pretty classic for us. a 30% afternoon rain chance. with highs in the upper 80s. >> all right, thank you. well, folk, it looks like and angelina jolie. jolie has filed for divorce. they married in august of 2014. a source says both sides want a friendly break-up. tmz is reporting that jolie is asking for physical custody of the six children and pitt to receive visitation. and today we have extras from the emmy awards. >> and a broadway record breaker as well.

the run -- in the pass game than we did in the run game. there's bad blood brewing between the florida head coach and the north texas coach. during their game saturday night, he went out to near mid- field to shout after the gator's quarterback was knocked out of the game with a hit to the leg. and he did not let up afterwards. eluding to the north texas playing dirty. and then he said they have a history of questionable tactics on defense. to gator's coach. >> bringing out that, we took out the smu quarterback, no he was in the open field running down the field and he got hit. cleat got stuck in the ground and it is what it is. it's football. i'm going to take care of my guys too. and so no one is going to come over and yell at me or our sideline and try to say we don't have integrity and don't play the game.

>> all right. and he could return at some point this season. so there you go. the two sides agreed to disagree on this issue. >> and after an ugly performance, saturday they come to town. >> usf fans are excited about this game. especially after watching fsu get thumped like that. gym bow said, listen, we're going to find out and define ourselves with this game. i do thought they would hear that but now, they would have to agree, we're going to find out which florida team is it, that one that we saw? or the other one -- >> saturday against usf. noon kick-off. >> high noon. >> at ray jay.
