here at 11:15 at night you're still looking at lightning strikes for manatee and sarasota counties. they'll continue to move west. if you looked outside, look out to the south, you'll see plenty of cloud-to-cloud lightning for a few more hours. other than that very heavy rain spilled across most of our area tonight. most of it on i-75 west. there's a good reason for that. strong easterly winds means that the sea breeze set up right along the interior section is just west of i-75 where the strongest storms were. here's some of totals. it says in the last 24 hours, but you can really say it is the last four hours. anywhere from northern pinellas to about inch, inch and a half. in fact most of pinellas county had an inch of a rain. manatee hit the jackpot at two to three inches. same thing in sarasota with a couple inches of rain. most of hillsborough county around downtown towards bloomingdale half an inch of rain. then you go off to the east a smattering of isolated showers. i think that set up is pretty much the same tomorrow. the closer you are to the beach the better the chances you'll see some of those storms.

the day just like it was today. temperatures have cooled off into the upper 70s to the lower 80s about where they will be when you wake up in the morning with those high humidity levels. look at these highs today. tied a record today in tampa, 95 degrees. 96 in sarasota. earlier in the week they hit 99. strong east winds keeps that sea breeze offshore, so that is why it allows that air just to heat up as it travels across the state. and you really don't get much cool air. low 80s and across most of the area. except down across manatee and sarasota counties. lee county as well and areas down to the south where they still have some decent rains. that'll be winding down shortly and the rest of the overnight hours should be quiet. now future cast is still hinting that maybe couple ow us see this right along the coast, but maybe even eastern polk could get in on the action between 8:00 and 10:00. then by lunchtime we would expect to see a srms

breeze boundary. but all in all the coverage will be about where it was today. 30%, maybe 40% of the areas will pick up storms. between 4:00 to 9:00 as was the case today, any of them could produce a lot of lightning between that time and gusty winds. sunday same thing. then all of a sudden we start saying what about the tropical air from down south? i don't think that it will bother us on sunday. south florida could see some heavier rain out of it, but for us anything that we do see will be later on monday, tuesday, and into wednesday. now let's area of low pressure is still really not organized at all. in fact the hurricane center even says there is a less chance than there was earlier. down to a 60% likelihood to develop. the bottom line is that it is meaningless. this low, what's left of it will go into the southeastern gulf with a lot of warm water and calm conditions to develop. now whether or not it goes into the central gulf, which we don't know yet. but if it does, i'm telling you this thing will blow up in the central gulf with perfect ingredients for a development.

of our state, which will be tuesday or wednesday, we would get some decent rains out of it. but don't look far lot of wind. still the jury is still out. i mean you look at the spaghetti models and they're all over the place with this thing. because of that it's a good idea to check us out on social media and on abcactionnews.com. we'll be updating all weekend, 24/7. bill will be here over the weekend as well. so we can get a clearer idea and we'll share it with you when that happens. right now the weekend is fine. it's more of a tuesday -- legal cause monday -- but it is late monday, tuesday, wednesday that things will heat up. 10 to 15 knot speed winds. then it will be dicier along the coast. that's a reason why we are concerned about the tropics. the gulf temperatures are up to 90 degrees. your tide, sunrise, sunset. hour-by-hour forecast, partly cloudy overnight. most of the area has to worry about storms starting from mid to late afternoon.

until those storms after 3:00 to 4:00. florida's most accurate forecast, rain chances will begin to climb sunday into monday. then had by tuesday whatever happens with the tropics that corain chances significantly. action news at 11:00 continues

back homers. carlos carilla to tie it. evan gavis to win it and the rays go on to lose this one by a final of 5-4. and before tonight's game the rays announced that outfielder desmond jennings will be released. manager kevin kash said it was time, it was best for him, and best for them going forward. usf mylon mac is one of the -- mack is one of the top runningbacks in the country. to think defense. bulls defensive coordinator raymond woody tells the story of how the mack recruitment went down. >> we looked at him several years ago. more people would say hey you know what he's good at safety. but the type of offense we ran, we wanted a downhill guy to hit it in between the tackles and take us with the distance. we felt like hey, he was the guy. but initially we brought him up

pretty good with the ball in his hand. at the end of the day the kid committed to ucla and he said coach, you know, i'm a rurunningback. so we handed out recruitment for the runningback and coach was sold on that. >> that is how mylon mack became a player. have yourself a great weekend everybody. we're back in a minute and

all right, made it to another weekend. saturday is going to be a lot like today. mostly sunny skies early with some storms around 3:00 to 4:00. rain chances about 40%. we'll bump it up a touch on sunday. still all the activity is in the afternoon and evening. so you are still to go if you are planning to go to the beach. definitely the first two-thirds of the day will be good. early next week it will all
