heaviest rain in the area is around northport and it's all heading for the northeast to the southwest. so, if throughout the night you are using your storm shield app and looking at the library door, we have a northeast to southwest flow. we know it's heading in that direction and it's moving across 75 and into the gulf. and as we look to the north we do still have rain here but /lightening up -- lightening up. so a couple more hours of the scattered showers and storms and we will be dry. temperatures are coming back up now that the rain has moved out. 82 in tampa, st. pete downtown is 80 available sunshine being reported. and, clouds are lingering in spots and the northeast winds

it will come down a little bit below average. back to drier air. if you'll notice, the lower humidity and dry and it will be in the morning as we are first waking up. but it will still feel pretty steamy. low chances for rain and saturday and sunday pretty typical. that 30% coverage is possible. and, quite the site, painting block party drawing a whole bunch of artists. it's the kickoff of the shine muro festival. this event focuses on inspiring public meals from artists all over the world. you can actually find these girls all across the city. still ahead, it is fourth-
