more wind. you'll have coastal flooding. surge is something the models are hinting at. i'm not sold at it. i'm not convinced the storm will be organized to produce surge. but you have to rain, three to five inches of rain. a bit up north, could see flooding problems. and tornados, any time you get the banding coming in, you notice wednesday afternoon, wednesday night and thursday, you could see a quick tornado. you think what happens, we're put under a tornado watch wednesday night and thursday e. likely tomorrow wharning wake up. part of the warning will be under a tropical storm watch. if they didn't issue at 5:00, they'll issue it by 11:00. tomorrow night, there comes some of the heavy area weather. in terms of an organized system there, isn't. it will be a lot more before we have to worry about significant issues for our area. the rain will be a problem. especially if you live closer to the beach and up north. the folks prone to flooding,

hello, folks. a lousy night for the rays as they lost 9-4 to boston. i would rather talk about before the game. alex cobb activated. he will start this friday night to at home jays. it's been a long road back. surgery, rehab that felt like an eternity. but all that time is behind him. four days tow before he's returned to the mound. this is the first time since july 6th of 2011 the rays haven't had a player on the d.l.. the buccaneers moved their final preseason game against the red skins to wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. the game as we know originally

in an effort to avoid the tropical system that's going to move through this area. you don't want to have your players out on a soggy field. injuries happen that way. and this is not the time of the year you want any injury with your opener closing in on the 11th. >> there's certain guys you have to protect. that it's just not worth the risk. there's other guys that are still? competition to make the jason and i will talk it through. then there's 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick who says he will continue to sit during the national anthem until he feels this counter is doing something about the owe presentation of black people and people of color. the coach was given the hypothetical question today. what if a buccaneers player did this. here was his response. >> i don't know if our

that. i would be disappointed if any of our players didn't stand up for the national anthem. personally, you look at that as a salute to the people who have payoff -- paved the way for us. but at the same time, this is a free country and freedom of speech is something we believe in and freedom of expression. that's an individual's choice. that's a fine line there. but i would personally be disappointed. but i think it would enforce that rule. >> i'll be quick with my take. kaepernick used the wrong platform to protest his views on the people of color. he disrespected, simply disrespected, the flag. i asked this of kaepernick. why don't you get out of your 49ers jersey and go out and really do something meaningful for something you feel so deeply about? we're back in a minute.
