thing on saturday. so in terms of what we have been talking about on the tropics that there will be absolutely no impact on our area until the earliest next monday or tuesday. we've got a long time to even talk, looking, consider, prepare all of the above for this. you're right and there is a chance that at the center they will make it closer to the islands, taking but we are pretty confident over the next few days to slowly get their act together. but here is the thing that it will not be a tropical storm until saturday. how in the world will we go from saturday to a monday to be talking about the hurricane because the water out ahead of it in the central bahamas will be the warmest water on earth right now. when you throw that tropical system by then and that very

explosive results. it's too early to tell, but remember as we are talking about the east coast storm, the odds of it impacting our area directly, they are much lower, certainly much lower than anything significant. the only way that it would be an issue is if it would make a hard right. never say never because it is a the way we are looking at it right now, whether it is a tropical storm or wave or a hurricane that they will impact south florida by sunday and then impact the west side of the state by early next week. some of the models, one of the models, pretty much the best one out there will be by early next week. it is something that we will keep our eye on and not the forecast for our area, nothing

knots. water temperatures at 88 degrees. here is a look at their most accurate seven-day forecast. and at 40% to 50%, obviously by late sunday and into monday, we are going to bump those chances up, especially by monday and tuesday depending on the system. all right, thank you, dennis. some breaking news out of italy. the mayor of a town there, north of rome talking earthquake that hit tonight. his town and residents are buried under debris. the town isn't there anymore. some of the pictures you were looking at right now coming to us tonight from twitter. we will stay on top of that story as more details come out of italy tonight. ray's picture -- pitcher arthur took the loss tonight, but is winning off the field.

hello folks. there have been some nights that chris archer didn't seem to have it and then nights like tonight where they pitched well enough to put the rays in the winning position. but they did not get any help again from the line up.

thing, he is giving up the rbi single to david ortiz. and scoring their first run of the game here in the third. but this run coming up, it is not his to earn. that it will be a nice bounce as you are over 1st base. absolutely no threat to go home on the plate. but the throw to third from their relay. that is the winning run as they would win it by 1. archer is having a rough year, but i don't want to lose sight of what he is doing out here as he has championed the non-profit group, delivering it all around the tampa bay area. but more importantly, the message that he'll be sending to these kids. >> and i did not go to college, but i read every single day,

newspaper, a a book, i read every day because i know that at the end of the day that my mind will take me further than the body. they will be going as far as your starter will go, pulling them on saturday as they are locked in on 22. the head coach, he as for their field goal kicker, more of a loss of words would describe that situation. >> and yesterday, the buccaneer's kicker, he said he lost his confidence. >> that felt good. >> i don't think so as they would continue for this easy field goal by their standards as they would go 3-6 today in practice and they would get booed by the season ticketholders on hand. >> he is struggling a little bit right now.

through it. he knows what he has to do as he is working through it. >> is there any question of bringing someone else? just to have that camp? >> that will be a question that you will need to talk to him about, but you know, i would not think that it is an option, but a question for jason. >> as for the slow going move for the team as we knew what was happening over the weekend, apparently there pop. >> no juice, no one wanted to practice today. >> yeah, i'm done talking about it as i said what i wanted to say. >> they were open to the public getting underway at 9:45 in the morning. we are back in a minute and
