contact with common building products like bonding agents and anti-core rough sif corrosive agents. gonzalez filed a lawsuit. he claims the pipes are defective. so far he has clients in florida, texas, arizona, kansas, mississippi, and alabama. >> we've hired a number of nationally recognized experts. engineers, chemists, material experts who have gone to the lab, tested this material, and have determined that it's defective, it's not suitable for what it's being sold, it will fail. >> reporter: how widespread of a problem do you think this is? >> this is a national issue. >> reporter: tampa's fire marshall says the pipe in question is in about 99% of the condos and apartments in our area. >> oh, a lot. where they can use it, they always use it.

said it's been legal to use for years and is a cheaper alternative to steel pipe. his team test systems frequently and keeps a list of materials that are not compatible with cpvc. >> i've never seen failure in my 20-year tenure in the fire department. has it happened? i'm sure it probably has. >> it's not a question of if it will happen. it's a question of when it will happen. >> reporter: according to gonzalez, the companies in question knew the material was defective but kept selling it anyway. in the lawsuit, he states e- mails from one of the largest manufacturers show they tested the product as early as 2005 and knew it was defective. he claims their acts, quote, constitute a conspiracy. >> it's a classic case of putting profits over people and sales over safety. >> reporter: lubrisol since this statement. it is the company's policy not to comment on pending litigation.

little boy. we were out at the florida state fair earlier tonight. some folks are going to be headed out. >> definitely chilly. >> yesterday a lot of rain in the afternoon, but you look outside right now, and things are beginning to wind down. at least the weather is cooperating. nothing wrong with having to wear a sweat shirt or a heavier jacket. in fact, that was one of our facebook questions of the day. we said, so, is this weather just right, too warm, or too cold? an overwhelming majority said just right. surprising for floridians who you would kind of think would like it warmer. cool air is in store for the next several days. it's still windy out there butt isn't as windy as it was this morning when we were talking windchills. how many times this year have we had to talk windchills? not many. winds out of the north- northeast at 5 to 10 miles per hour. outside from tampa to

are clear. winds out of the north- northeast. they're beginning to shift. instead of due north, which brings in colder eight, more of an easterly component. all of a sudden our temperatures begin to warm. in fact, i think most of these will begin to level out over the next few hours and won't drop much more. probably mid-40s in our northern counties, low 50s elsewhere. satellite picture, beautiful today. it was unusually chilly, especially compared to record highs two days ago. yet our roller coaster ride continues. it's not going anywhere because we've got more changes in store. this is the water vapor image. it shows you how much dry air we have. you can see the entire state covered, but just in the last hour or two we're starting to see that dry air erode as more moisture comes in. there is going to be a whale of a storm develop just east of us over the next day or so. the impact on us, wind. rain, not much, even though overnight skies begin to cloud up.

morning you will definitely see more clouds than sun, maybe a sprinkle, but really more than likely just a milky look to the sky. as that storm begins to take shape you start to see a better chance of rain. the best chances of rain will be closer to the low which will be east of the state. so highlands, polk, hardy, de soto, you've got a much better chance of rain. it's going to be cloudy most of the day but i just don't think we have too much to worry about in terms of rainfall. on sunday morning that low really gets going, then all of a sudden there's talk of a major snow event or storm up north as it pulls away from us. but watch what happens as it does. it takes the clouds right along with us. so sunday afternoon we're nice but we're cold again with highs in the upper 50s. as that low cranks up our winds pick up. so we will be talking windchills again on sunday

here is a look at overall rainfall totals expected. compared to two, three, even five inches of rain just two days, a not too bad tomorrow. a 10th of an inch closer to the coast, higher to the east. so our eastern and southern counties, a a little better chance of measurable rain as opposed to the rest of us. our forecast highs. this is what's amazing. we were in the mid-80s two days ago. we're not going to see 70 degrees for the next week. we're certainly not going to seat tomorrow across the metro area where it will below sit, maybe mid to upper 60s, and yes, even down south we could go 69 or 70, way outside, down around lake placid, but for most of our viewers, 98%, you are going to stay in 50s and 60s through the middle of next week. i do think there's a freeze possible next tuesday night into wednesday. for the boaters, of the two days it is going to be windy

sunday in terms of winds. north winds at 10 to 15, gulf temperatures chilly at sick. a moderate chop on the bay. the upcoming tides, sunrise at 7:15, sunset at 6:14. so our forecast for saturday, we're going to go mostly cloudy. those clouds are rolling first thing in the morning. a couple of showers. i wouldn't change your plans. i think the fair will still be okay but it will be nicer on sunday than saturday, although much windier on sunday as well. here's a look at florida's most accurate seven-day. rain chances 30% saturday. sunday we clear out, cool off, and it gets blustery. highs of 58, 64 on monday, upper 50s return on tuesday with a few more showers, and we stay chilly right through next week. >> all right, thank you dennis. another big win for the lightning as they keep their home win streak going. t.j. has the highlights from amalie

hello, folks. no lead is safe against the penguins but the lightning found the way answering two pittsburgh rallies for their 8th win in a row at home.

special teams tonight. steven stamkos pokes the puck out of the lightning zone to andrew pouliot. sidney crosby's 21st goal of the year. lightning's lead now cut to a goal. but a little over a minute later the bolts' power play connects. kucherov starting to heat up and so is pouliot. his second goal of the game. the lightning went on to beat pittsburgh tonight. the final in this one 6-3. all right, we hope it is a big night tomorrow night for present and past buccaneers. first of all, jameis winston up for the nfl rookie of the year awards. winston has been getting some pretty strong backing so we will see what happens.

dungy is a finalist for the hall of fame. >> you know that it's coming close, and what's hard is there's absolutely nothing i can do. you know, i did my work for it. now i tell ira kauffman it's his job. if he screws it up, it's his fault now. but ira does a really good job at presenting the case. he will do a great job representing tony and i. we'll see what happens. it would be the icing on the cake just like this is, and i'm hopeful. i hear there's good momentum. the father of browns quarterback johnny manziel is coming out saying his son is refusing his family's efforts to get him into rehab. manziel's father said, "i truly believe if they can't get him help he won't see his 24th birthday."

haslem whose indicating his team has washed their hands of johnny manziel. >> we're not worried about johnny manziel the football player. we're worried about johnny manziel the person. we've reached out several times, just like we would any player. i think it's enough said on the issue. i think it's a personal issue now. it's not a football issue. who will it be, denver or carolina in super bowl 50? carolina a five and a half point favorite. they're the better team, but something tells me that the broncos will find a way to keep this close. it will be all predicated on their defense. i'm not saying the broncos are going to win it, but i am taking denver. i think carolina will win it by three. finally, you will not see harris at quarterback next year for the gators. that's the word we're getting in gainesville. he will be a wide receiver. how about that one.
