11:20 pm
now the question is will the weather cooperate for the ballplayers? let's touch on that. 8:00 bright and early no worries. lunchtime, this is the only thing that concerns us. now if you were to look at our overall viewing area from citrus county down to the highlands. a coverage of the shower might be 5% to 10% tops tomorrow. but the issue could be, of course, if that happens to be over here for 15 minutes you throw in 91 to 92-degree heat and all the rain. again it isn't a major but you can't completely write it off. bottom line more than anything you're going to have to worry more about the heat than the rain because you sit out in that direct sunlight especially on the east side of the stadium you're going to be fried. wear your sunscreen and prepare for a lot of heat and hopefully that a lot of sunshine will happen as well. by sunday morning same thing. with the early riser for the buck game, which kicked off -- for the bucs game which kicked
11:21 pm
afternoon early evening. but still the forecast is looking nice, sunny, and hot. tropics were all the way to the l storm. matthew could form next week in the caribbean. karl is right there. this is what we'll watch for. models are hinting at some serious developments over the next seven to ten days in the caribbean, the one we've been talking about for the past week or so. this is a look at karl. hurricane watch remains in effect for bermuda. it will be very close to the island by tomorrow and probably as a minimal hurricane. for the boaters tomorrow, me tell you that it is a great weekend to take your boat out. usually is any way, but really nice this weekend. your upcoming high tide tomorrow morning at 8:15. hour-by-hour forecast only cooling off to around 80 degrees, upper 70s tomorrow. right back up to about 91, 92 later on in the day. the beach is a great place to be. the beach should be dry the entire day. here's a look at florida's most accurate seven-day forecast.
11:22 pm
i do think that next week we'll get a slug of moisture coming in. and that is going to bump up rain chances significantly by tuesday and wednesday. and we are focusing in on the weekend as we like to do. sunny with a few isolated showers or storms mid to late afternoon. most of the area stays dry. looking ahead to sunday as well, when the bucs are taking on therams first half looks good. second half a chance for a shower or a storm. another hot one with highs around 90 degrees. >> looks good, thanks, den. coming up the buccaneers did not waste any time releasing the offensive seferian-jenkins. but who replaces the troubled
11:24 pm
11:25 pm
hi everyone, thanks for stopping by, the headache that was for jen kins is now over for the buccaneers. the team released him ten hours after the second dui in three years. he was arrested after 4:00 on friday morning after driving between 75 to 80 miles an in a 55 miles per hour zone. in the process he cut off a state trooper before getting pulled over. not smart. then clearly this kid didn't take his job with the nfl seriously. if he did, he wouldn't have been out until 4:00 a.m. two days before a game and six hours before he was suppose to be on the practice field. now can you imagine if jenkins didn't get pulled over this morning? it would have been an interesting practice. but they did practice at 10:20. the players usually arrive earlier than that. jenkins was booked around 6:30
11:26 pm
afternoon missing all of practice. bucs head coach dirk koetter wouldn't really comment on the arrest after the practice, but his boss did two hours later. they released this statement on releasing jenkins saying that they are very disappointed in today's news. after careful consideration, we felt this was the right decision at the time. and now this release should have happened earlier, the last strike for asj. then minutes later when he got to the into a viral fight with fans on twitter? remember when he did this captain morgan pose back in 2014? he was a distraction, simple as that. injuries and maturity and lack of production on the field gave seferian-jenkins a draft label. now thankfully the bucs can move on with another problem. the bucs depth at tight end is thin with seferian-jenkins gone. neither will doug martin, robert ayers and shorts. all four are out and they
11:27 pm
the bucs will now turn to cameron bright to start with brandon meyers and allan cross coming off the bench at tight end. ray jay will host a huge showdown no. 13 florida state taking on usf. you can watch that game right here at noon on abc. seminoles are coming off one of the worse losses in school history after louisville crushed them by 43 last week. but the bulls coach knows that sfu can still be very dangerous. >> you can't because they took a loss last week. you know like everybody had them rated number two for the reason. we've got to make sure that we're on top of their game. >> we're going to go up to knoxville where the gators look to exchange their game by 12 games to rival tennessee. applebee will be making his first start under center for luke del rio out by two weeks with an acl sprain. the big high school rivalry tonight, plant hosting them leading 29-27 with five seconds
11:28 pm
48. they need a miracle. now, how about a hail mary? but their prayer, they don't get any answers for them and plant intercepts that ball. panthers win 29-27. plant and armswood in their 34- game regular season winning streak. how about that? finally tonight, rays are hosting boston. the final series for david ortiz against the rays. chris archer will be very happy when big papi retires in ten days. two-run shot to right, 4th of his career off papi's average is .389 against chris archer. longo on second. red sox win 2-1 to take the opener. chris archer falls down to 8-19 setting a new team record for most losses by a rays starting pitcher. stay tuned, we're back after
11:30 pm
11:32 pm
so if you don't have tickets to the game tomorrow or sunday, i highly recommend the beach. the beach is going to be gorgeous. if you are going to the games it is going to be hot. a couple of showers are possible the second half of the game tomorrow. i think a little better of a chance on sunday. but more than anything just a lot of sun and heat in the low to mid-90s. >> it'll be a good one. >> yeah, bring your sunscreen and water. continuing coverage on abcactionnews.com.
11:34 pm
11:35 pm
>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight, kiefer sutherland, john olive, and music from die antwoord. and now, your attention please -- here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ? >> jimmy: hi, i'm jimmy.
