it's going to take time as it moves its way to the east. again, lakeland affected by this across i-for and most of this is east of i-75. so that some good news if you're headed into the roadway. but check out the lightning strikes over the last half hour. over 2200 lightning strikes. this is a really intense storm. the biggest concern with the severe thunderstorm warning is for 60 mile-per-hour wind i haven't seen any reports of damage but feel freeo let us know if you do see any in your area. you can see everything is clear off to the west. this is one batch of intense even potentially severe storms moving through eastern hillsborough county. into polk county. but the rest of the area seems more typical hit or miss showers and storms that we see so often this time of year. as we continue through the night we'll see more of these

but i've got some good news for you headed into the weekend forecast coming next. >> all right. thank you. looking live now at the stage right there, it is set for the first presidential race , that showed on happening in less than five hours. a debate happening, i should say, hofstra university in new york. this just into the newsroom, now confirmed that donald trump will have benghazi survivor mark giese there as one of his guests. after all the talk that gennifer flowers clinton admitted to having an affair with would be sitting in the front row to throw hillary clinton off. that is not happening. on the other side, clinton's camp inviting mark cuban from abc shark tank. outspoken and anti-trump, to sit on the front row. that's a picture of a sign with cuban's name getting wheeled into the debate. we've got a team of people and analysts in new york for the

not sure exactly where that was coming from. now back at home to development in that toxic sinkhole. >> governor rick scott is taking action telling the department of environmental protection to put an emergency rule into place that would alert the public immediately about potential pollution situations. the mosaic incident didn't go public for three weeks. also had that sewage dumping situation into tampa bay from the city of st. petersburg. governor sco next year. sit the site tomorrow. g to some 200 homeowners are waiting to find out if there wells have signs of radioactive chemicals. the now's nicole griggs joins us live from the multi--- from the mosaic area with a test that claims to have immediate results. >> reporter: lab results were supposed to be in today but the company independently testing the water says they need more time. more time means a bigger

a california company claims they have made home water testing kit. they sent us this at home test. because they are offering to people near mosaic for free. >> six drops of water. >> reporter: heather george live near the plant. >> she is still waiting for her results from the lab company. they are now saying radioactive results should be in by wednesday. are they trying to hide something? is something really wrong and they're scared to tell us? >> reporter: with her permission, and her own curiosity, we tried the test. and within six minutes, it claims to give you a pass or fail. for pesticides and a number of heavy metals. headers water got two blue dots meaning pass or good to drink.

to keep testing their water. >> the first 40 results came back, everything was clear. with you drink your water if you know this? >> know. i will not. >> reporter: even though this test claims the water is safe to drink, we cannot conclusively confirm that. reporting tonight, nicole griggs for "the now tampa bay." >> thank you. also, the democratic vice presidential nominee tim kaine campaigning in floridju debate. he is in orlando right now meeting with latino faith leaders. he's got two more florida stops bedebate starts. and he's already been to lakeland today. the now's ryan raiche is on the campaign trail. >> reporter: excitable crowd here at the lakeland center earlier today where vice presidential candidate tim kaine paid a visit just hours before the biggest night of the season for his running mate, hillary clinton.

about 200 people. making it clear the voters in florida will be in his words, the difference maker in this election. obviously the debate is on everyone's mind. kaine is convinced that hillary will be the clear winner by the end of the night because he says she actually has a specific spirit -- take a sten. >> you got 90 minutes. you can run but you can't hide. and so we're going to see toni can he give any details about anything? >> reporter: senator kaine will be on the edge of his seat watching tonight's presidential debate but also taking some notes. the first bryce -- vice presidential debate more than one week away. in lakeland, ryan raiche, "the now tampa bay." >> thank you. as we get closer to the first debate, some are saying -- i had what you will not see tonight, we've got that coming

get your popcorn ready. expected to watch tonight's presidential debate. this is a live look at the stage right now. estimated 100 million people could watch the fireworks tonight. and i do mean fireworks. expecting a lot to happen. that's about the same number of people who would watch the super bowl on any given year. if that many people ly do tune in,it uld be the most- watched debate in american

to the reagan-jimmy carter debate in 1980 for the record. 81million people tuned in. that i never had a lot to do with the fact that your they only had one debate. so you can compare that to the first presidential debate of 2012, 67 million watched esiden romney. >> you won't see any commercials tonight during this debate. but tv networks are expected to make millions of dollars from ads that run right before and right after. the gog rate tonight for a 30- second spot, $200,000 which is similar to a commercial during a popular primetime ow the next debate is the vice presidential debate october 4th. hillary clinton and donald trump will debate again on october 9th. by the way, the new quinnipiac poll numbers show the race between trump and clinton is too close to call. clinton with 44%, trump with 43%. among likely voters. as for who will actually win the debate tonight, likely voters say clinton will.

covering the debate in new york. >> reporter: here we are at hofstra university. let me set the scene as we count down to the owdown between hillary clinton and donald trump. the media is prepped, there are more of us than the audience members. just 1000 seats for tonight's debate moderated by lester holt. only a few lucky students at hofstra got the golden tickets. >> oh, my god. i was so excited. i wanted to go. i couldn't believe it. i ran downstairs and called all my friends and my parents. >> 350 got to go. i'm so blessed. i can't begin to put into words how hateful i am. >> reporter: this is the first time clinton and trump have come face-to-face in 11 years. clinton will be on the right behind a smaller podium. she'll get the first question also decided by a coin toss. >> the five on campus? it's like a party. there are no kegs but there are major news networks airing live. there's a band, chalk drawings and even a bounce house.

quiet protest and the students we talked to do want to hear about the issues. >> i'm a community health major. so i'm interested to see their policies on like healthcare. >> no more student loans. that's what everyone thinks. >> those matters may come up. focusing on the overall direction, economy and national security. >> reporter: those watching won't just be listening for substance. they'll also be watching to see how the two candidates interact. will trump inlt what will be the moment we'll all be talking about after the 90 minute debate comes to an end? that's the scene will be all about. operatives and surrogates from the clinton campaign and from the trump campaign trying their best to convince the media gathered here and everyone at home who really was the winter. reporting from hofstra, mike sachs. >> got to love the white house bounce house. some experts say the winner

the other candidate. if you are truly undecided, it suggested you watch the debate by yourself so you're not swayed by how other people might react around you. if you are out and about, you can catch the debate on abc action news and our facebook page. now to charlotte, north carolina where protesters are calling for the chief of police to resign there over the shooting of keith scott. the now's todd walker looked into the claims that evidence is being covered up. >> reporter: days after the release of body and dash cam video and nearly a week after scott, there are still more questions than answers about what led up to his death by police gunfire. >> [ yelling ] >> reporter: now members of the charlotte african-american community are alleging a cover- up by investigators. >> we believe the execution of keith scott by cmpd, the lack of transparency on the part of

for keith scott's death, and attempts to both intimidate and stifle protests reflect and established pattern of misconduct and cover-up on the part of cmpd. >> reporter: that from a press conference this morning. the charlotte branch of the inns -- naacp is concerned the public is only seen evidence the police want them to see. >> i'm concerned we're doing piecemeal video that we haven't received -- so the first thing i want to say is that we still transparency. >> reporter: even police admit none of the evidence released shows definitive proof keith scott had a gun not a book. police released photos of the gun and ankle holster they say were recovered from the scene. but it's not enough evidence to prove scott was in the wrong. tipping point for a community that has had its trust repeatedly broken by the charlotte-mecklenburg po department. >> reporter: activists are

peaceful, midnight to 6:00 a.m. answers only grow louder. for the no i'm todd walker. at the top of the show we had a severe unrstorm warning, what's that like right now? >> it has expired. we do still have strong storms in the same general area. plant city, north to zephyrhills, through land into missoula, willow oak all getting very heavy downpours. you make it gusty winds but to 60 miles per hour, has now expired. so we are looking at heavy downpours above 2.25 inches per hour is the rate at which the rain is coming down. and then we have around bartow, rain coming down at an inch and a half per hour. now i'm putting the lightning into play here on our radar and you can still see over 2100 lightning strikes in this red box over the last half hour. misses a lot of intense

pass. they are moving from west to east. so moving in that right now. et slowly. only 15 miles per hour. this is going to be sticking around for a little bit. at least another 45 minutes or so. across much of that area. more showers and storms bubbling up, some into the madeira beach area. also around saint pete beach. and the westchase area as well into odessa, keystone, heavier downpours as well. county. so this is all moving from west to east across the area, continue to see scattered showers and storms throughout the evening. and in fact we'll start to see them moving back across the coastline so they'll start to move from east to west right around sunset. don't be surprised if you see more that lingering across the area. for tomorrow we are going to go back to a west to east trend. we'll have chances for showers as early as the morning.

this will help to give us a little more cloud cover and also help bring the temperatures down a little. if you're planning on a round of golf, it may be hit or miss showers but not a ton of coverage. 88 is the high tomorrow. i don't know ithat's a noticeable dropping temperatures but check out the weekend. this is going to be noticeable. we have a front that's going to try to push th our area. and we'll get drier air behind it later this week. by the weekend, you'll notice cooler start on saturday morning. and then still going to be pretty warm through the afternoon. still talking mid-to-upper 80s but i think with the lower humidity and less chance for rain it's going to be a gorgeous fall weekend ahead. by our standards anyhow. take a look at the tropics, yeah. we've got something brewing and it may have a name sometimes and. it will be matthew. i'll tell yoabout that and why we need to keep an eye on it coming up.

how long an hr worker will look at your resume. so we've got three things you have to start doing differently right now to get noticed. including stop doing all that google seahi those generic resumes. and we want to say happy birthday to tampa bay rays pitcher chris archer. he is turning 28 today. hard to mention the big leagues without mentioning the sudden loss of miami marlins pitcher jose fernandez this weekend. are tweeting fernandez's passion and charisma for the

right now the 2016 white house tribal nations conference is underway. ferally recognized tribes are

talking about ways to and as well as how to avoid protests like what we're seeing right there with the building of the dakota pipeline. obama administration wants federal agencies to consider treaty rights when working on natural resource projects. as we've been telling you before the sioux tribe says the pipeline will disturb sacred sites and hurt their water supply. they keep sneaking the snake stories in the show. >> just for you. constrictor in your yard. >> she's not going to look. >> that's what people in one fort myers neighborhood are freaking out about. it's actually a pet. it got loose when its owner forgot to latch the cage properly. >> should never be a pet. neighbors say if they see it, they'll kill it. >> well, that's obviously upsetting the snakes owner a bid who says the snake is a family pet and that it's not vicious and has been around humans its entire life. perfectly harmless.

surprisingly it was quite the process to adopt this snake in the first place. >> had two inspectors us and inspect the cages and inspect our home and know every family member. before we were even allowed to adopt them. the only time you usually hear of a snake biting is if they have mistaken your hand for like the rat that would dangle and it's because someone reached their hand in towards the face. >> loose. while some people are threatening to kill the snake, others are offering to help find it. today we tracked down the family in ohio of the little boy who died suspiciously in pasco county over the weekend. incidents raising a lot of questions about his safety

now we are working to find out how a toddler that died

women who were supposed to be taking care of him. cohis case now from the beginning, she's telling us today what she's learned. >> reporter: absolutely a heartbreaking case for me as a mom and family members sebastian leave are devastated this beaiful little boy died while he was in the care of a legal guardian. they insist a lot of people connected to the kid and his sister were there ready and willing to help but were left in the dark about what was really going on including police and one ems call to the home this year. and a dcf investigation. the end result, the legal guardian can culp and her wife arrested on drug charges and now considered persons of interest in that little boy's death. >> i hope they get what they deserve. for hurting this poor innocent child. you know? if you are that frustrated with him, why couldn't you give him to us?

>> reporter: right no investigators are waiting on autopsy results before saying how sebastian might have died. the child's family now fighting to get his older sister and sebastian's body back home to ohio. kera mashek for "the now tampa bay." changing our focus right now talking about politics. the debate, it'sa chance for the candidates to win your vote but a new poll out today suggests the moderators may try to influence your vote as well. that same poll finding 46% of people believe moderators will try to help hillary clinton or donald trump during the debate. 6% think they will help trump but you'vegothe behind the scenes picture today at the debate and it appears clinton's podium is getting a lot of attention. >> this is something you won't be able to see but we're going to show it to you right now. check out the picture tweeted out earlier today of the stage. the podium for the candidates are definitely different sizes. the idea is to make them almost

clinton is just 5'4". donald trump is 6'2". these pictures were tweeted out by wabc radio reporter rita cosby. trump is hoping to get an upper hand on social media. launching a brand-new filter on snapchat just for the debate. it's called crooked hillary. seriously. this is what it looks like with the words donald trump versus crooked hillary on the top. make america great again on the bottom and then of course showing it was paid for by donald trump's camp. we're also hearing that during the debate this will completely change, and they will drop the attack ad. off the top. some more trouble brewing in the tropics right now. shea is in with that. shay, i don't like when it says 90%. tell me what that means. >> back to storms here, moving to the west getting a little closer to the leeward islands. it has a 90% chance of developing into a numbered or named storm over the next five days. it will likely happen sooner

make this west to northwesterly movement. as you can see it's got quite some distance between where it's at and where we're at but we want to keep an eye on it because as we look at the spaghetti models, take a look at the geral movement. it's going to continue along this path working its way south of cuba and then it looks like -- i shouldn't say cuba. let's look at the dominican republic. this is where we're going to start to see me turn to the north. if this doesn't happen because of the ge headed in, we want to keep a close eye on this one for the next couple of days. so that's exactly what we're going to do. at this point doesn't look like there's a strong likelihood it will have impact on florida but we want to keep a watch on the storm that's headed in that general direction. as far as the weather goes in our area, like i was saying tomorrow morning, we do have a chance for rain showers. i'll show you where and we'll see if they could impact

>>emotional tributes today for golf legend arnold palmer. the golf channel which he actually cofounded posted this picture today on facebook. he is -- his parking space is now a memorial. palmer passed away yesterday at the age of 87. president obama releasing a statement calling palmer the american dream come to life. known as the king, palmer went from working at a local golf course the son of a groundskeeper in fact to be in one of the sports greatest. he was the first golfer to win the masters four times and had se >> here in tampa bay plenty of people talking about the death of the legend. we went up to innsbruck golf course and seems like the feeling is the same as the rest of the country. the game has lost a legend. arnold palmer was much more than just a golfer who won four green jackets. he was also a pilot, grandfather, mentor to those who never met him. >> i feel fortunate that he

a global icon in golf, but anything else you can think of he really touched everything. >> arnie did more than double. there are very few athletes who can transcend their sport being a household name. so many, so many arnold palmer fans out there. arnold palmer left a lasting impression on florida. he helped design two courses here. bay hill and the reunion resort and club palmer course in kissimmee. palmer at the studios, we have staff members who had the opportunity to actually meet him in all of his journeys. >> take a look at this, sports director tom karen tweeting t this picture of the time he got to hit the links with arnie as he was beloved lee called. and then there's this one. this is one of our photographers brad davis just after an interview with arno palmer. >> while he was an amazing golfer, i want to give you this

mixologist. tell the story. >> that's right. you've heard someone ask for an arnold palmer. right? half iced tea, half lemonade. he was the habit of drinking that beverage all the time and in 1960 at the u.s. open he actually ordered the nonalcoholic version at the bar. the woman sitting next to him said, that palmer drink. that's what i want. >> so arnie, this one is for you. nonalcoholic. you' watching "the now tampa

women who plan to become pregnant and even their partners should think twice about traveling to those areas. in the last 45 minutes new zika numbers in, 10 new nontribal related cases reported in south florida. now there are nearly 900 cases in florida altogether. >> all right. a u.s. guided missile destroyer being paraded off the korean peninsula today. what is significant is that it's alongside south korean military ships and planes. together the u.s. and south korea flexing their muscles this drill comes just weeks after north korea conducted its fifth nuclear test claiming it's ready to put warheads on missiles. they've also tested several submarine launched ballistic missiles drawing strong protest from south korea and japan. home prices skyrocketing in florida. tampa bay is seeing a lot of that. i want to take a look at these numbers for you right now. go banking rates.com reporting

-- just under $264,000. that's more than 21% higher than last year because we have a lot of people interested in buying but not enough houses to go around. so with that we took a look at st. petersburg. average price $290,000. that's almost 38% higher than it was last year. the next one, quick look at other cities, homes in miami going for $450,000. that's up 13% since last year. orlando is sitting at $229,000 and last year, it was 18% down from this year. pretty amazing numbers there. actually we are just breaking now because we have a severe thunderstorm warning that is in parts of northern hillsborough county also into pinellas county and pasco county. anywhere from keystone, odessa east lake area of palm harbor into the new newport richard -- new port richey area into

stationary it has a potential of 60 mile-per-hour winds and also some hail. you can see heavy downpours in this area. andean this is nearly stationary so this warning is

all right. we do have a severe thunderstorm warning right now for parts of pinellas county, hillsborough and pasco counties. you can see this orange box, severe thunderstorm warning in effect until 5:15 because the storm is nearly stationary. spinning in the same spot. i'll put the radar into play and you can see the heaviest rain from keystone and then moving north across the veterans expressway. also northdale is in the warning area but at this point you may not even be seeing any rain. because this is nearly stationary just sitting in this spot that northdale could end up getting gusty winds and eventually some of that heavy rain. again if you're in this area until 5:15 if the storms are on top of you there's quite a bit of lightning associated with this. try to stay indoors away from doors and windows until it passes. we'll have another update a little bit.

there seems to be an app for pretty much anything. now there's one that claims to clarify consent. the now's, see aaron is asking if it could also send the wrong message when it comes to sexual assault. >> reporter: could this be the future of consent opening an app, reading and signing a contract, snapping photos of both of your ids and then saving it all to a password- protected file? this is a new service that claims to set the gold helping college students stay in compliance with sexual conduct policies. >> i know friends and stuff where there's been like questionable encounters and just like, it would've been nice for something like that to have existed. >> reporter: he can see the apt's benefits but says using it in real life can be kind of offputting. >> i'm not a contract. i'm a person. you can ask me. >> reporter: she shares that concern along with sharing her

she believes consent is a conversation. >> i feel like whoever made this app feels like if they have the consent on like record, that's good but i feel like there's going to be that argument of i'm not a contract purses -- versus we'll have this for evidence. >> reporter: kevin carter runs an organization that provides support to victims of sexual assault. she says the issue with the app like stacy and others like we consent is what happens if consent is revoked. >> one of them i don't want this anymore. i changed my mind. this is not what i was looking for. and an app is not going to show that there was that. spot despite concerns carter and these students agree on one thing. >> i'm glad it is something that is being talked about finally. >> my start. a good step in the right direction. >> she also spoke with a legal expert who says computer- generated consent forms would probably be admissible as one

but not conclusive. when it comes to consent changing stacy has said that in published reports that it uses a combination of e-mail termination as well as an invitation to acknowledge that response which can provide a chain of legal evidence giving clues as to what happened. laura? trying to figure out why a lawyer started shooting at cars near a houston strip mall today. police are looking into the issues he had with the law firm. this is just a little bit of the scene we saw eaie morning. nine people hurt before police actually shot and killed that suspect. police say he left a car with multiple weapons inside near the scene. the mayor is identifying the shooter as nathan desai. he says he acted alone. meantime the man accused of killing five people inside a mall in washington state has apparently confessed to the crime. that's what court documents revealed today. this is video of 20 rolled, he was in court today getting

counts of premeditated first- degree murder. he had a falling out with his dad before that shooting. and took his dad's rifle to use in the crime. all that according to court documents. we still don't know why arcan cetin chose the mall. a floating video from texas, texas state university, classes have been suspended for the afternoon. the san marcus river is overflowing. student posting this video on twitter of the san marcus river flooding at a park. thby tomorrow morning. that's at least six feet above flood stage. today sandbags lighting streets. some 5000 homes are now under investigation orders. shelters are open, all this because of rain last week and through the weekend.

a man died trying to drive through the floodwaters this weekend. another died in mudslide. >> one of those things we always tell people. don't drown, turnaround. you don't know how deep the water is. >> right. looks like the flooding issues are going to remain there for a couple days even though the weather has improved. we have our own weather problems at the moment, severe thunderstorm warning in effect for parts of pinellas, hillsborough and pasco counties. this is in effect until 5:15 because the storm is not moving. nearly stationary at the moment. so instill -- until it starts to we can you have a potential in this area where you see the yellow box for damaging winds around 60 miles per hour and also hail, just got a report on my facebook live feed that's going on right now saying he found some hail in plant city from the previous severe thunderstorm warning that we had a little earlier this afternoon. so the heavy rain anywhere from the keystone, odessa, trinity

into pasco county, you can see that lightning, we're talking intense lightning. one box here over 1300 strikes in the last half hour. by all means, stay indoors, make sure the kids are coming and if they've been out to play or riding their bikes around in the neighborhood. if you do have any sports practice this afternoon, you're going to get a delay at a minimum if not cancellation. very heavy downpours have been

with the west to east flow through the afrnoon. as a result of the heavy rain that we've had in some spots, take a look at these temperatures, 70 degrees right now in lakeland, 78 in brandon, 79 in zephyrhills, 81 in tampa. 88 in crystal river where

sebring, those areas not seeing the showers and storms that have been rolling through in other places. over the next couple days we do have a pretty consistent forecast with temperatures in the upper 80s at least through wednesday. and then we have a frontal system that's going to press through the state and then stalls out. so we start to see higher chances for rain especially on thursday and look at the temperatures coming down. friday morning waking up to 73 and topping out you can see that drier air starting to settle in, definitely a difference in the temperatures and humidity. i think it will be pretty noticeable friday saturday morning especially. this is the four day forecast, we have dennis standing by, update. not only on the potential for severe storms as we continue through tonight but also update on the tropics coming up on action news at five. >> thank you. right now the sawmill fire in california has spread 1500 acres. that's more 15

contained. people are being forced out of their homes for safety. multiple roads are closed right now, 463 firefighters trying to put this thing out. the heat and low humidity are making it difficult. they still don't know how that fire started. throughout this election we've seen a lot of strong opinions about both candidates candidates. ahead of tonight's debate nothing has changed. >> that's right. there's a sign reading hillary for prison. along with tombstones of those who were killed >> i don't want hillary to be our 45th president. i really don't. in my heart, i believe she could have saved those for men. >> but i hope put this up says he wants people to start thinking about the election. as for his neighbors, they say they've got different political views. they say if someone for hillary created a display poking fun at donald trump it would get a reaction as well. now to detroit, a sign

this has been stolen three times. the owners first put it out. the second time the city said it was against the code. so the third time he fixed it to be compliant, and then it disappeared again. this time he found dead spots on his lawn and an anonymous letter about the sign. >> the message was bold and yes, we are very aware it was tacky. but that was the point. the big issue i have with the whole thing is the speech. free speech to me is about content that you may not agree with. >> he's not sure if he's going to bother posting a fourth sign but what he is posting is a sign for the candidate he plans on voting for. libertarian gary johnson. the washington monument is now closed indefinitely. national parks service says the
