for your kids. >> this forecast, if you've been watching closely over the last couple of days, the models have done a pretty terrible job in trying to pinpoint the time vorring rain. we've been saying for a couple of days saturday is going to be an you know settled day and there is going to be rain, and there. but i will tell you flat out this is one of those times that we're in the 100% sure exactly where and when this is going to come in. even though we are seeing this rain just off shore. if you were watching at 5:00 and 6:00 you're looking at a very different taming factor with what we've had right now. so just remember that, and be sure to check us out. we will be updating facebook all night long. we will be on-line, and bill will be here first thing in the morning. there's so many things going on, whether it's airfest, the st. patrick's day festival at the river, so we're hoping that we're going to get in at least part of these festivities rain- free. but based on what we're looking at now with temperatures in the

out west, that's by no means a guarantee. again, i will say it again, check us out first thing in the morning, and look for our facebook update, because it is going to be volatile. right now under mostly cloudy skies mid sifnts tampa, st. pete clear and 47 degrees. earlier on today we hit 80. we may see 80 again tomorrow. but as we said, we have got some much coder weather that's going to be coming in first thing monday morning. but before then we're going to have to deal with what's going on. first of all, some light rain hernando, pasco. most of that not making it to the ground. citrus. but there's a large area of rain taking place in the gulf of mexico. the good news is, none of this is severe. there's very little lightning with it. maybe a couple of rumbles of thurchltd but since there's so much going on tomorrow, this is the tough thing. 8:00 tomorrow morning, i think there will be a few showers. you have to plan for tomorrow

sunday morning, a chance of rain at almost any time. but the tough part of this forecast is when is the main line of rain coming in. well, if you were watching at 5:00 and 6:00, it was holding off until 2:00 in the morning saturday night, sunday morning. now look. by lunchtime tomorrow the models are speeding everything up. based on what i'm seeing in the gulf of mexico, everything is starting to accumulate. i think this is a pretty reasonable perception. so if this is the case, clearly this is going to be a lot of issues for folks going out tomorrow, late morning into the afternoon. but as i said, in just six hours it's changed this much. i think you have to plan for the chance of moderate to heavy rain through the midafternoon hours. once that comes through, then we get our second round, the actual front which comes in early sunday morning. 15th deed we're looking at heavy rains, it will be a lot later on sunday. i will say it one more time. check us out first thing in the morning.
