dress -- drop it off in person. reporting, james talley. >> thank you. taking a look outside right now, at some of the traffic. how is the evening shaping up? >> it's looking great out there. granted, it has been another hot and steamy day. no rain showers to coolest down. the doppler radar is all dry. and look at this, the main seal beach in, you can't even find a cloud in sight to help block that son. and, reduced to have that east- west flow. any showers have started on the east coast of florida and try to work their way in through the interior counties not a lot of that is held together. so maybe a stray sprinkled that is about all that we had seen. so, check out the temperatures right now 88 tampa, lakeland is at 86. brooksville crystal river are both at 88.

is at 91. so we have hit the 90s again today across the area. as we continue for the next couple of hours it's unlikely we'll get any rainfall. so if you're planning on having dinner outside, things are looking great. all the way through to 11 am -- 11 pm. and 77 at that point after sunset. and as far as the next couple of days ago, we're still going cooler it's going to be less humid. i will show you more and not and let you know how great it will feel coming up in the next forecast. >> guns don't kill people toddlers do. why a gun violence group is

in some spots you have no choice to walking the road. >> neighbors say they have complained before not just about the challenge but also the lack of lighting and the other big issue cars are racing by. >> i don't want to say it was an accident waiting to happen but it's dangerous and i'm pretty sure that the county and city is aware of that. >> tonight she has been upgraded to serious condition her mom is in worse shape listed as critical. facing any charges. the sheriff's office calling it a tragic accident. >> our thoughts and prayers are with them for sure. >> guns don't kill people you heard that before, toddlers do. that's the message and a new satirical tsa. >> they looked into the numbers to see if there's any truth to that claim. >> just about everyone will agree that lost in the noise of the daily election controversy

one has created a psa hoping to bring that attention back. >> we need to lock them up -- not the guns, that's un- american. the toddlers. >> the brady campaign to prevent gun violence has put out this psa which says somebody is shot by a toddler at least once a week. new numbers seem to back that up. a survey found that the numbers that the federal government uses to track acc is way less than what appears to be actually happening. the cdc says in 2014 that 74 miners died from accidental shootings, the usa today found it was 113 for that year. i spoke with the head of the campaign and he tells me that he hopes that this psa gets people talking about keeping guns locked up when they are in homes and kids are around. but the group's main pushes for more laws regarding background

>> this hopefully furthers us in a way a very important dialogue about what we can do, what we all agree on to make us all safer. >> of course, there is not agreement on these types of laws. we reached out to the nra and they did not respond. that's one way to get the message across. while the brady campaign wants to cut the number of people killed in half by 2015. it was created after president. reagan's critically wounded during the assassination attempt against president. ronald reagan. a gunshot owner is holding a pre-hillary sale. he thinks that hillary clinton is going to win the election. he said gun sales have been falling so he is hoping his new ad in the paper will help boost sales before people go about. >> -- go out and vote. >> if crooked hillary gets and she's going to take all of our

marina and you can see it's just gorgeous. it's zoomed in pretty tight we do not have any terribly strong winds. and all right. on friday we've got the strong and as it presses south will have a slight chance for a few showers we are not talking about anything to dramatic. so a couple of showers and when it pushes self it will get cooler and drier air that means it will be less humid. be, right? love, right now argue points have been from the 60s to about 70 degrees. that is a measure of moisture. and when the dew points are in the 70s it deals oppressive. and that's where we have been all summer long. now that we are in fall we are waiting for those to bring and drier air. and we will see those two points coming down.

down some. so, away from the oppressive rain, or even the uncomfortable humidity into were will feel really pleasant outside. both on saturday and sunday especially in the morning. we will end of the day in the upper 70s on saturday and sunday. it's going to be hard to get to 80 across much of the area. it certainly going to be cooler. plenty of sunshine. and less humid. now auto will form. i will have more on that in a bunch of storms in where they may be heading coming up. great song there. two member tupac? wolcott 20 years ago today he was killed. incident he was nominated to be inducted into the rock 'n roll hall of fame 19 other artists

campaigning in north carolina in the meantime his home state possible voter fraud is being uncovered. it will get to that in just about 10 minutes. >> and, lighting it up a little bit. >> let's call the whole thing off. >> however you say it, don't put it in the fridge. if you don't want to lose the flavor. >> okay. you know -- you never know. if you are one of them, you're listen it has to do with science. and science is true. it is slowing down this process. so even though you shouldn't put it in the fridge taste you can save money by doing so because they don't go bad so just be prepared it will lose its labor. >> i will be prepared. but look at this. but the pilot shortages we have been telling you about could this be our future yes that

a robot moving the controls of a plane robotic -- a robotic -- copilot just took this while the human pilot gave the commands on a tablet. defense leaders as in the pentagon are saying that the robot doing the flying would be safer for the pilot. >> and, take a look at this fighter jet is standing out for all the right reasons. >> really cool. they painted this pink to support breast cancer awareness that jet is on the flight deck of the lexington and aircraft -- and the aircraft carrier in texas. the fighter jet will stay pink through the end of the month. >> talking about voter fraud you just heard from mike pence campaigning in north carolina this is his home state where he is governor. there were raids there today say why invest -- what investigators are learning and

the elections in the election process before boats have even taken place. >> the president think that none of this is based on fact and he also said that trump stop whining. meanwhile, states are taking these accusations of a rigged election seriously. taking extra precautions to make sure that their voting systems are secure. help from the department of homeland security. >> regardless of any of this, the message in the selection could all ready be rigged is starting to set in with voters. >> a new poll suggesting four out of 10 voters believe that donald trump could lose the election because of widespread voter fraud. >> and, 73% believe that the election could be rigged. 17% democrats feel that way as well even so eight out of 10

>> m, nicole greg took a look at this taking your inside the local effort here. >> all of these people acting like voters to help test voting machines in hillsboro county. but donald trump's claims -- donald trump claims of voting fraud could hit happen here >> illegal immigrants are voting. >> out there felonies, or those who have died even casting ballots. so we asked craig, supervisor of elections about fraud. >> i've heard about fraud and suppression and i'm looking for both. >> there are headlines like this new video coming in today from indiana of a raid at a voter registration spot where people are accused of changing registrations with fake names and birth a. in colorado avenue

dead people voting around the state. the same in california so as a possible? >> if you're deceased will have a hard time doing that and if someone is using your id and hope that they look like you. >> that's why you show an id and your signature. >> and when we compare a signature it is compared against a signature that we have on file at our office. >> office looks at all those voter registrations coming in that's what you call voter roll. >> i know that they constantly describing the voter rolls against the help to seize files and also the florida department of law enforcement convicted felons. >> in some counties like hillsboro they do an extra check themselves. happening right now, you're taking a look at the funeral for two california police officers who were killed in the line of duty. the alleged gunman is a

have any potential impacts would be bermuda but we are continuing to monitor that here just to the north and the dominican republic so, it's not very well formed it is really just a batch of storms and as we take a look at the spaghetti models they are staying away from the landmasses this is bermuda out here in most of the models even bring away from bermuda and driving it to the north atlantic were our next cold front keep it pushed into the atlantic. so at this point it could end up becoming the next name storms. -- next named storm. now we are going to see some rain chances over the next couple of days. i will show you where it is more stashed most likely to come up. >> you then. meanwhile, the aclu is fighting for families in flint michigan. they filed a class-action

that's according to the bureau of labor statistics. >> and more people are saving that extra money. a new study out shows that for the first time in four years the top reason they were cutting back on spending was not because paychecks aren't getting bigger it's because we are choosing to save more money. >> yes. instantly recognizable as a piece of hollywood history. >> yes. and then you go home. >> but, slippers, are real. they say that it needs about $300,000 to restore and preserve those iconic shoes. >> yes. the money will be used to create a climate controlled case for the shoes. she were several pairs off filming. and, only five authentic pairs are known to still exist including this one.
