for the time being, when you have temperatures in the upper 60s and due points in the upper 60s. you're bound to see fog. there we have it, temperatures right now in the low to mid 70s. no records broken today. it felt summer like. mid 8 0s, high humidity, high everything you normally see in may and june minus the stops. i think we're gonna start sheathing especially friday and saturday and into sunday mainly because we have a pretty decent storm system that's gonna gather strength, cut across the gulf and come this way. we'll touch on that in just a second. topped out at 81 at the airport but a lot of folks across our interior county. you were well into the 80s and a lot of folks closer to 90 than they were 80.

especially over the next few hours get thicker and thicker and as was the case yesterday morning and to some extent this morning not as bad as yesterday, see a lot of fog and really get sucked in and you can see even by tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m., there's gonna be some areas that will zero. that's why it's a great idea to tune us in bright and early tomorrow morning at 4:30 we'll for the delays. once we go through the afternoon and late morning, everything opens up and we have a very nice day. warm and humid day. a first round of showers could tomorrow. maybe a sprinkle. i think our more significant saturday. in. this too is earlier than i'm

at this point in time, i won't say it can't happen but the best opportunity for us in our area for the heavier rain is saturday afternoon into saturday night. we have plans on saturday, maybe on sunday. which would be the better of to the days? sunday will be the better of the two days. not that it won't be sunny all day but it won't rain a lot. it'll rain through sunday morning and clearing out later on in the day. bottom line, we're looking at a pretty decent stretch of weather after this leaves and a lot cooler with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s by next week. right back again along the coast primarily in the 70s. east of i75, mid to upper 80s. long range forecast, lot of warmth up until monday. cooler air, that's the blue color and arrives first thing

hour by hour forecast. lots of fog overnight. leads to a pretty decent day. the most accurate 7 day forecast. rain chances up to 70 percent on saturday. best timing afternoon through the mid evening. maybe a few sures early sunday and clearing and cooler by monday. when the raise roster shakes out, two players from tampa bay should make the cut. here's jimmy kimmel on

players scoring the winning goal. none other than redco who fired a slap shot. that's his third goal this season. flyers move in within five points. the bolts with the 3-2 victory. the lightning wouldn't be looking over their shoulder and got beat by a bunch of minor leaguers last night in toronto. a slam dunk two points for the boys. i'm concerned this team is wearing down. they look tired. definitely not what you want to see right now. we need more effort like they've had earlier in this season. not like the one they've had a couple night ago. this could put the team in a fight for the playoff life. >> i don't care who you're playing, this is a competitive league. teams are gonna take advantage of your mistakes. that's not gonna win you hockey games. we give ourselves chances to
