mixed bag. once we get past sunset through about 10:00, the showers and storms taper off. you would be more likely to see them east of i-75 or around poke or highlands county, a few linger showers between 8:00 to 10:00. overnight, we are all nice and dry as the temperatures gradually fall closer to 80 degrees. now, high pressure is in control. so we have switched patterns to a more today has been transitional. in general, we're looking at a west to east flow over the next couple of days with high pressure in control though. it acts like a bubble, keeps the storm clouds less likely to form. we won't have a ton of coverage of storms. and the rain chances though as a result of the west to east flow will begin earlier in the day. even before noon. with very low coverage. not everybody will be seeing that rain. so if you're trying to figure out, well, now with this any

work? before 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. you will pretty much be guaranteed to be on the dry side. after that, the rain chances start to go up. and i think the majority of our rain will be occurring between 2:00 and 4:00 across tampa bay. a little later as you go farther inland. that would be your absolutely dry. most of the area tomorrow is going to be pretty dry though. take a look at the tropics and you can see we have a storm system here that has got about keeping a close eye on it as it works its way closer to the virgin islands. keeping an eye on it because of its general direction. rain chances remaining between 30 -- 20 to 30% over the next week. looking pretty good out there. wendy. >> thanks, shay. a new effort to block robocalls. it's part of the robocall strike force. it's the biggest complaint that the fcc receives.
