>> yeah, we were all arguing about it. it's having -- . >> something about it, right? yeah. >> we're skeptical these days. >> we are. >> i get it. >> what do you expect? >> you're going outside now, the skies have cleared up. boy, what a day from severe thunderstorm warnings to wind gusts, 50, 60 miles per hour to tornados and then by early afternoon, everything was quiet and stayed that way. the moisture is still around. that is why i do believe that fog is going to be an issue first thing in the morning on saturday. the temperatures from the upper 50s to lower 60s and that is where the dew points are as well. that is a good indicator of why we're going to see the fog. check it out, visibility 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, near zero across part of the areas. any plans early on saturday morning, you might want to leave a few minutes early and tag it slow. it won't be wide spread but there will be patchy dense fog. by 9, 10, it's gone and leading

with temperatures warming up into the 70s. and tomorrow night, that is another story entirely. this is a very interesting and tricky forecast, too, the next few days. tampa at 63; clearwater and saint pete right now at 59. we had 73 today and that was once the sun returned and the storms finally moved on down to the southeast. normally we're at 70 over 51. and satellite picture, as i said, bright and early this morning, you might have looked out of the window. geez, it was really coming down for a period of time. heavy rain. most folks got a half an inch to three quarters of an inch of rain. it didn't last long but it came down when it did. all of the gusty winds as well. now, let's talk about the next 24 to 36 hours. if you were watching the last few days, we were saying we felt as though our risks locally of any tornados or widespread severe weather was non-existent. it may stay down to the south. tomorrow morning as i said, we

burn off leading to a very remember wall, very pleasant afternoon with temperatures in the mid-60s. eight:00 tomorrow night you don't see anything on here. this is how it can play out. you might sleep through the entire event, but there will be an event from 3:00 a.m. saturday night, sunday morning until 7 a.m. this line is coming through and there is no way around it. this is coming through. i think the setup is a little bit jucier for us in our immediate area, which means i would not be the least bit surprised if we picked up an isolated tornado not in the cape coral area or the fort myers area, but somewhere closer to home. we'll be here all night tomorrow night if conditions warrant. bill will be here tomorrow to give you updates, of course, i'll be live. i will do my weather updates over the weekend and weather chats and on facebook and abcactionnews.com. and by 6:00 sunday morning, it's almost gone. by 8:00, it is.

7, you can sheep through this and we're hoping that we're not going to have to worry too much of the threat of the widespread severe weather. it won't be widespread. i do believe there will be isolated areas to worry about and so does the storm prediction center. we're now what is called a slight risk but still it's higher than it was just 24 hours ago for today. you get what i'm saying, it's something we have to keep our eyes on late tomorrow night into early on sunday. and light look at the accurate seven-day, 75 on saturday and storms arrive late saturday and early sunday. a look at next week. we get cold again, sunny with a froze possible on monday night and tuesday night. and thank you, dennis. it was the play-off atmosphere tonight at emily arena.

. it was a play-off atmosphere tonight at the arena. the battle between pittsburgh and bolts go into overtime. to the second period, game tied at 1. they score on a 5 on 3. and the tweet one from johnson

minutes, 35 seconds later, they score again and this time again on a power play and with a 5-on- 4, rips the shot and deflects past fleury. the bolts lead 3-2 after two and in the third, the spinning move by strawman. what a move. game tied at 4 and that is at the end of 3. in the pot. t., complete. his first career hat trick and the bolts make it four wins in a row. pittsburgh tonight. >> and derek cutter is off and head coach. he met with the media today after signing a deal. john sabol brings us up to speed with more. >> reporter: it took the buccaneers more than a week to name the new head coach after firing lovie smith and they him. >> gives me a distinct pleasure of the tampa bay buccaneers.

and one of the most humbling. a long time. long time in the making. >> reporter: he began the coaching career at the high school level and moved on to the college ranks and became a head coach at boise state and arizona state and spent 9 years as an offensive coordinator in the nfl but never a head coach. >> and i look forward to the challenge. one of the best things you can do is surround yourself with a great staff and trust your gut. >> and he wanted someone to establish a winning culture and eventually bring championships to tampa and he was all of those things. >> reporter: and in one season, he was responsible for turning the bucs offense from one of the worst to the team best in history. and don't expect him to stop. >> the favorite parts of the football, it's a strat jay and game management part. i think i would be foolish to give that up.

can do with the offense but what about the defense? the head coach didn't waste time announcing who the defensive coordinator would be. >> we have come to terms with our defensive coordinator mike smith. with his experience as a defensive coordinator and teacher and head coach, i couldn't be happier. >> reporter: reporting at one buck. and here's hoping the hot streak continues. we were 3-0-1 and this weekend, i will take the red-hot cheese to cover the 5 against new england and getting the points at arizona and i can't go against carolina at home on sunday, even though it's against seattle and without brown and a beat up ben roethlisberger, i would be nut nots to be going for denver.

. early saturday, the fog burns off a nice saturday afternoon and the storms, rife sunday. on sunday morning. it could get nasty. >> continuing coverage and all of the top stories including weather at abcactionnews.com.
