to get 3 1/2 inches of rain in the overnight hours in and around the area, that is why we saw ponding on the roads like we did this morning. 2 inches of rain moving across the skyway bridge early this morning. a lot of that heavy rain fortunately set up across the bays, otherwise we would have seen more issues on the roads but we have a half to a full inch of rain across much of the area this morning. now as we're looking at the radar we're absolutely rain- free so again good timing to give those drainage areas some time to recover from that heavy rain that we had overnight and early this morning. we have another round of rain that is not going to take very long before it moves in. i think at the earliest we'll start to see that rain hitting the pinellas county coastline around 11:00 but more likely sometime between noon to 1:00. it's going to build in and become widespread, some heavy

in fact take a look at the futurecast, and timing. we may see a few isolated showers here especially in the southern counties over the next hour or two. but then as we get closer to noon here's where the rain starts to build in, crossing over our major roads and bridges through the evening commute with those heavy downpours. as this moves onshore we continue even into tonight, even overnight to have heavy pockets of rain, damaging winds and isolated tornado can't be ruled out, but i think most likely we're going to see more ponding on the roads, more street flooding in isolated spots. so it's an all-day risk where we're in this marginal risk category. what that means, to put it in perspective, we have about a 5% chance in this area of seeing damaging winds. 2% risk of a tornado. as we move through the day it's something we want to be aware of even with that small chance. if you don't have stormshield

be great to have it so you can be alerted if there are warnings throughout the day or even into overnight, if you're asleep and you've got your phone or mobile device by your bed you will certainly be alerted and be aware what have is going on. if you've got that app. tomorrow we are going to see it quite as widespread, more of a hit or miss off and on through the day but rain chances still high. we clear out for the weekend. more on the weekend details coming up. back to you. have you made the switch to the new chip credit cards yet? even if you have one you may find more stores are not even set up to use them yet. consumer reporter john matarese shows you some problems with those new cards so you don't waste your money. >> reporter: the new chip credit cards are supposed to be much safer than old-fashioned swipe cards. why are we hearing more reports than ever about credit card skimmers leading to fraud? weren't chip cards supposed to prevent that?

lots of fanfare last year, promising safer transactions, thanks to the tiny chip on the front but suddenly it seems credit card skimmers are popping up on gas pumps everywhere copying our cards and giving hackers access to them. what gives? well, turns out gas stations and atms have two more years to switch over to chip readers, that gives thieves two more years to try to scam as many customers as they can. from the "doesn't that stink" file the slow rollout of emv chip cards. less than half of all stores are using them now. most major grocery chains and many smaller businesses are still asking to you swipe. hoping for more security? you will say doesn't that stink? some stores report technical issues but with most it's the cost of switching over. >> hopefully by 2018 cards can probably be a thing of the past because florida atms and gas pumps will no longer have swipe systems but until then be extra

it while you can. you can see right now that we are rain-free across tampa bay and across our major roads and bridges. that certainly wasn't the case early this morning leading to all the street flooding. the temperatures haven't moved much. we have a few breaks in the clouds with a little sunshine coming through, you can see it where it's happened because the temperatures popped up. but in other areas where we have a lot of cloud cover we have 63 in lecanto. 65 homosassa. across hillsborough county we've still have temperatures that are in the mid to upper 60s. really more middle 60s than anything. 66 tampa. plant city 65. westchase at 66. in pinellas county temperatures in the mid-60s. st. pete 64. i won't see a ton of movement in these temperatures over the next couple of hours. we'll be where we see the greatest jump and as that rain starts to move in around noon, maybe as late as 1:00 then we are going to see those temperatures leveling off with that next rounds of storms.

be the time to do it. in the next couple of hours we're going to start to see more rain building in. once again we will have a round of some strong storms, some heavy rain and there is a continued chance for some severe storms in the mix. as this area of moisture and this area of moisture associated with the front just starts closing in on the area over the next couple of hours. it's really going to intensify things, that's where i think we'll start to see that chance for some damaging winds, even an isolated tornado. let look at our marginal risk, that is why the whole area here, you see shaded in green is shaded in green. because it's the storm prediction center's outlook for severe storms. we have that marginal risk which means we have about a 5% chance of seeing severe storms today. you can see how this heavy rain and storms start to set up right next to the coastline, around 1:00. i think we might get lighter

heaviest stuff around 1:00 starts to move across the tampa bay area, becomes more noticeable and widespread into the evening commute and thereafter. so at 8:00 at night we're pretty inundated with heavy rain across the area, and then we get those waves of stronger storms that roll in. this could continue past midnight tonight. so this is why i say that you probably want to have stormshield on your mobile device. pick out your five spots across the area that you want to monitor for any warnings. and then you will be alerted throughout the night in case something does pop here after you have gone to bed. the biggest concern is for damaging winds, can't rule out an isolated tornado. i do think with the widespread rain moving back in, given what we've already seen this morning we're likely to see more street flooding, ponding on roads at a minimum. into the evening commute. and beyond.

from the low 60s to the upper 60s. we hit 70 in our arcadia now. and temperatures will level off the next couple of hours as the next batch of rain moves in. 100% chance of seeing rain today. we already saw plenty of it. more to come. tomorrow expect that there's a chance that the percentage of coverage could change. the models have been pretty inconsistent about timing and coverage for tomorrow but i at least say we have a chance of storms off and on. not as nasty as today, but by friday we dry out. saturday gorgeous. we start cool and the day at 67. if you are planning on heading out for any of the gasparilla festivities from morning to night, conditions are looking great. comfortably cool. then a warm-up for sunday, from start-to-finish, a gorgeous day. that is florida's most accurate 7-day forecast. find me on facebook and twitter. pack -- back to you.
