now max defender 8 and your storm team forecast with chief meteorologist steve jerve. >> you can see a cold front passing through the area. things are pretty quiet this area and it looks like it will stay that way. the atmosphere is stabilizing and a cold front especially in northern spots, you know what i'm talking about. 77 degrees for the high saturday, 79 degrees on sunday with sunshine and lower humidity. great shot from bruce mills in oldsmar tonight, a very nice sunset. we did have very dry conditions high above in the atmosphere and the clouds, if any, dissipated with the cold front coming through. 7 a.m. breezy at times, 59 degrees, the coldest it's been in some

sunshine. that's our high for the day, currently 71, again the cooler drier air not quite here yet in the tampa area, but it's showing up in some of the northern spots, 66 inverness, 75 in venice. there's the north/south comparison. as we look at dew points, that's a significant difference between 52-degree dew point reading, drier cooler air to say 67 degrees down here in north port or 71 in venice. that's the humidity south. you can also see it on the water vapor. it's very dry high above in the atmosphere south and north of the front, so not much difference, did generate a few showers over the gulf of mexico. if you look at the infrared satellite imagery, you can kind of make out where the front extend out here into the gulf of mexico, but clearly as we saw on max defender not too much happening in the rain department at the moment. ucf and the huskies are playing up in connecticut noon on saturday, 52 degrees, possible

cooler temperature, 75 degrees for the rattlers of florida a&m playing hampton up in tallahassee. this is fantastic football weather, mid-70s and sunny skies, should be nice across north florida and the bucs are on the west coast playing the san francisco 49ers, 70 degrees in santa clara, california. here comes the front pushing in with high pressure in behind, high pressure the usual routine to get back in that winter routine where cold fronts come through, high pressure builds in and shifts east. for now that tends to draw cooler flow right down the peninsula. that's why both saturday and sunday morning will be cooler. we'll trend warmer heading into the early part of next week. it's all about watching the position of that high, watching our wind streams. you can see how that wind eventually shifts back to the east and that's our warming trend. forecast lows, 56 degrees land o'lakes, temps possibly near 50

temperatures are nice, upper 70s, near 80 degrees saturday, sunday and monday. overnight low temperatures are sort of cool. temperatures slowly come back along with a little humidity with more of an easterly flow. the rain chances come back a little bit, too. that's not a huge deal there, 20% wednesday and thursday. it will stay fairly dry through -- who sat in the seat? >> you're just too tall. >> i'm not even going to lower it. i'm going to stay right here. >> i'm just d bit. fair enough. >> all right. thanks, steve.
