conditions. 83 in tampa and clearwater. st. petersburg at 81 degrees. winds mostly out of the north and northwest and we're going to continue to see those westerly breezes tomorrow. we'll take the temperature down from 83 to about 79 by first thing in the morning. back up into the 90s tomorrow with a slim chance of showers. we've got subtle changes coming during the work week and we're keeping a look at the tropics as well. not one, not two, but three different storm systems that we need i'll detail those coming up in the next 15 minutes. massive flooding in louisiana damaged more than 60,000 homes. and those numbers could get higher. the red cross says the flooding is the nation's worst disaster since super storm sandy in 2012. louisiana is bull shaped meaning it may take awhile for waters to recede. the president is headed to

capitol, on tours. the devastation hitting home for many in the bay area. we've seen volunteers and loads of donations heading to baton rouge and a local restaurant is jumping on board to help. why they're compelled to step in. cara? >> reporter: they grew up near baton rouge, louisiana. his dad still lives there along with many friends. he decided to do something to help and to get the community involved in the process. the images from louisiana's catastrophic flooding are heartbreaking. >> i cried today just thinking about it. >> reporter: red cochran grew up outside baton rouge. his dad's home took on knee- deep water. thankfully he had flood insurance, but many other friends and relatives and people around the state aren't so lucky. more than 100,000 people asked for federal help since the historic flooding started. >> my brother called me the other day and he was like, it's

>> reporter: we asked his boss if they could take up donations of basic items to help. everyone at the restaurant jumped on board right away. >> we're just trying to show some tampa bay love on to the louisiana people. >> reporter: in a few days they've been amazed at the generous donations of people, everything from clothing to shoes to diapers. >> it touches my soul to see the community coming together. >> reporter: amanda nelson knows firsthand the value of helping those in need because she used to be of a toothbrush, toothpaste, just clothes to wear, water to drink, so the to me it's real important. it just is important to give to them, because somebody gave to me. >> reporter: the restaurant is taking donations all week and this louisiana native will back up a truck and personally deliver it all to friends in need next week. >> it feels like a super hero. that's the best part. i want to put a smile on people's faces.

their efforts head to the salty rim grill all the way through next sunday and drop the donations off right there. they've also got a go fund me page set up online. we've got a link to it with the story on our website. more severe weather to tell you about around the country. michigan residents cleaning up not one but five tornadoes. ripping through the state saturday night. officials say thankfully no injuries were reported. and we have disturbing new the president there saying the person behind the deadliest attack in the country this year is a child. that bomber only between 12 and 14 years old. the explosion at a wedding killing at least 50 people and injuring close to 100 others. the attack happened near the syrian border. as of right now no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. mosquito inspectors are hard at work in miami trying to halt the spread of the zika virus. they sprayed outdoor areas

hours, saying that's when mosquitos are the most active. they also dropped pellets into storm water drains to prevent mosquitos from breeding. transmission of the virus by mosquitos has been confirmed in two sites in miami-dade county. health officials warned pregnant women to avoid the area. and happening tomorrow, democratic u.s. sena be stopping by st. petersburg, joined by state representative edna rain. the two will tour a local business that manufactures l.e.d. lights. still ahead, drastic measures, what's pushing this woman to leave florida and her husband until the birth of her child. and new information on the death of late singer prince.

luke roman the disgraced star maker behind boy bands died in a texas prison. the 62-year-old was serving a 25-year sentence for running a $300 million ponzi scheme. we are still waiting to hear what caused his death. we have new information tonight in connection with late singer prince. we are hearing that pills taken from his estate were improperly labeled. a source revealing officials found counterfeit drugs containing 50 times more powerful than heroin and many were falsely labeled as hydrocodone. toxic results showed prince died of an accidental overdose. the 57-year-old was found dead in april in an elevator inside his minnesota home. a pregnant woman has had it with florida. all because of growing concerns over the zika virus. the woman you see here plans to drive to virginia where she will stay with her family until her baby is born.

move makes perfect sense. if we have to move away and separate for six months, that's, you know, pennies in the long run. >> her husband, jarod, who you just heard from, will stay at home in florida waiting for his wife to return after she gives birth. no zika cases originated in broward county where they currently live. now to democracy 2016. donald trump is again making headlines while hillary clinton appears to be donation dollars. she has more than 60 fund raising events planned in 16 states in the next month. she flew into nantucket yesterday for an event. it looks like a los angeles fund-raiser will happen to tuesday. according to the hollywood reporter, justin timberlake and jessica biel will host that event. new campaign finance documents show clinton outspent trump in

million. >> hillary clinton will make america poor. you're going to lose your jobs, you're going to lose your wages, you're going to lose your medical. >> trump is also trying to win african-american voters. he even said democrats have taken the votes for granted. according to a poll a black voter's choice for president clinton is overwhelmingly ahead college students and parents strapped with tuition bills, the irs is warning of scammers denying payments over the phone and saying beware of calls like this one. >> this is a message from the internal revenue service. >> the irs says this is a new scam, some concerned victims said the scammers need personal information as they try to con money. the irs wants to remind taxpayers that they will never

ask for debit or credit cards over the phone. they will also not threaten to bring you to local police. well, if you snooze, you lose. a panda in the nation's capitol learned this lesson the hard way. his mom dug into his birthday cake. the smithsonian held a party for three of its pandas for august birthdays on sunday. the party wore him out. he returned to the den to nap. the no, ma'am couldn't resist. take she dug into the frozen cake. she found it delicious. layers of beat, carrot and apple juice. it was topped with sweet potatoes, bamboo and dripping in honey. this is what happens when you have a party and you go to bed early. everybody's going to take all your fun stuff. >> the poor baby. we talked about this. the poor guy needs an alarm

december. back in december, remember? we've got to wake that guy up. >> he's getting his rest. you need your rest, especially as you have a big week ahead which we do around here. let's take a look outside right now as we wrap up a gorgeous weather weekend. only a few showers moved through yesterday. a couple through today. if you got caught under one of them you were like wow, this is a downpour. it only lasted maybe 15 or 20 minutes. we are clear right now across the region. showing you that. so too does this shot as we take a look at the weather headlines as we wrap up a wonderful wetweekend. monday will stay mostly dry, just like today. but the tropics definitely bear watching. not around through the gulf of mexico. certainly not in through the caribbean sea but further off into the atlantic. we're keeping an eye on big time some storms that are

here. this is fiona, still looking like it's going to move to the north and west as it falls apart. a couple more areas rolling off the african coast. one shows about a 40% chance of development, pulling into the islands, the other one about a 90% chance of development. this is going to stay mostly into the atlantic into the open waters. again, nothing to worry about right now but this is the season when we start seeing more of these storms, and of course if anything changes these practice jek torres do -- trajectories wobble or head toward us we'll let you know about it. one of the things we are keeping track of with the storm shield app are very spotty showers that bloomed up and worked their way into the middle part of the state. they're gone right now, left with some sticky steamy conditions. 83 seems to be a popular number from haynes city to bartow,

apollo beach. brooks another cool spot at 77 degrees. across the state, we're mostly in the low 80s across the southeast, mostly in the middle 70s. as a cold front pulls up right through here, it has dropped the temperatures through the carolinas, but it just won't make it into florida. we're still in that part of the year where we really don't get those fronts pulling through. for tonight, mostly clear, mild and muggy. a slim chance of showers blooming up tomorrow by about will push inland maybe 10 to 20%. now, on tuesday, we start to see a little bit after shift. we've been watching those winds push everything off to the east, we're going to see a little bit after northeasterly vector of the end. while we see the showers building up about 1:00, we'll watch also for the back building of these storms by later on in the afternoon. still a dry atmosphere so we're not expecting much in the way

look at our hour by hour forecast for tomorrow. starting off at about 79, up to 91 by 3:00 and again, very slim chance of showers. if you're thinking about heading out on the water, gulf water temperature is 89 degrees. winds will be out of the northwest tomorrow. one to two foot seas with that ten knot wind. bay inland waters will be a light chop. your high tide 5:15 in the morning. low tide 10:30. the sun will be up at we had a nice looking sunset tonight at 8:03. tomorrow sunset will be 8:02 as the days get shorter and we head toward the peak of the hurricane season. that's about the only thing that changes our tropical weather pattern. we're going to remain warm. we're going to remain steamy. again those chances of showers don't really ramp up until we get towards next weekend. more details are always available at abcactionnews.com and of course i'm tweeting out

weekend. still not living up to the hype but who says he's teasing everyone with the missed field goals. erik waxler is next with

hello, everybody. rays and red sox start a four game series tomorrow night and all of a sudden the rays are not a team that is trying to make the playoffs wanting to run into right now. they are on a roll. they have one 6 of 7 out scoring opponents 55-18. they take two out of the als leading rangers this weekend. longoria lifting it to the corner. that scores a double. even the bunts were working. bobby wilson laying it down. and the junior slides on in to break a two-two tie in the fourth. logan forsythe returns after missing four games with back spasms. three run homer. rays win 8-4 on the mound drew

to football. the bucs play their first preseason home game friday night against the browns. they're going to be practicing against cleveland tuesday and wednesday this week. the wednesday practice is open for fans and free. jameis winston started sloppy last night. he was 3 of 10 during the three series he played. the interception wasn't really his fault. he did deliver the touchdown on the jump ball to right there. the coach says winston has a long way to go but is light years better than this time last season. >> the competitive side of him, he's sometimes tries to do too much. example would be its third and 15 last night. and he gets in a scramble situation. no matter how you slice it, he's going to run for 5 yards, but herefuses to slide and that's the whole defense hit him. you don't t have to win the gam every single play.

in the nfl, he missed two field goals last night. did make a 38 yarder. but when you draft college football's most accurate kicker in the second round you expect more. his fellow seminole is sticking up for him. >> one thing about roberto, just the snap and carry mentality. he's going to come in. i don't think these really count, you know. i think he's just teasing people right now. i know he's going to produce during the season. >> i don't know what's wrong with roberto right now. i there are some nerves in there. i don't know. he might be overthinking it. there's definitely pressusure o him. it is the preseason that's a time to work it out. >> so former pascal high school star comes up with a pick 6 for the jaguars last night. that's josh johnson jumping the route and intercepting the ryan griffin throw. the dade city native started in the canadian football league and maybe with a play like that he'll stick around in jacksonville for a while.

usa basketball easily beats serbia in the gold medal game today, 96-66. kevin durant scores 30. the final medal count, the united states finishes with 121. 46 gold medals overall for american athletes and the u.s. olympic committee says ryan lochte will face some sort of punishment for the armed robbery thing that didn't really happen. we haven't heard the end of that. that's going to do it for sports. we'll see you in just minutes with more abc action

listen to that and look at that. gunfire when troopers tried to stop a stolen suv in chicago. a go pro camera caught some of the frightening encounter. in chinatown it'd around 7:00 last night. one of the suspects only 15

recovering from the bullet wounds. the driver tried to run over atrooper and that's when a trooper opened fire shattering the window of the suv. three men and the teenager took off. all taken into custody. the teen's injuries are not life-threatening. back here at home the humane society of pinellas county is waiving fees for black cats today and tomorrow. the unlucky cats will hopefully find forever hopes. take a lo caught on -- this rescue caught on camera. a woman noticed a kitten stuck in a drain for a couple of days. she posted it on facebook to get help. the kitten now named piper was stuck inside that drain so a local plumber responded, not only pulling the kitty out, but here's the best part, guys. he took it home. >> good for him. a saved cat, still nine lives left on that one. we've got a warm start tomorrow as you head the kids

warmer as you dry them home in the afternoon. we're looking for a high of about 191 to 92 degrees. about a 20% chance of showers on your monday though. should be nice and steamy. >> thank you so much, phil and thank you so much for choosing abc action news. have a great night. see you tomorrow.
