and a lot of folks have been, for that first real cool front of the season, this one is it. by saturday morning we are going to see 50s, and i still think by sunday morning there could be a couple of folks up in citrus and maybe hernando county that could see a few upper 40s. doppler rain-free, and it is going to stay that way. mid-70s right now. tampa, st. pete cle that way until the middle of next week. the rainy season, it's done. now all we have to think about is how warm or how cool it gets because rain chances remain extremely low usually right on through the early part of winter. that rainy season, the late-day storms, they are done. this is one of the main reasons. the water vapor. typically in florida this time of year we start to see drier conditions come in and all that moisture from the tropics takes

not so much for us, but maybe for folks up in new england. we will be talking about what could be otto in just a minute. here is a look at our futurecast from overnight. right through tomorrow morning waking up to clear skies. first thing tomorrow morning it is going to be comfortable. low to mid-60s across most of the area. sunny skies. if you live along the coast you can always add four or five degrees to most of those forecast lows because that gulf is still 80 degrees. then you go through thursday sprinkle over on the east side of the statement we're still going to go mostly sunny. i still have rain chances below 10%. on that seven-day i still after zero. it could be 2 or 3%, but even with the front coming through friday morning, and there it is, dry. maybe a few more clouds as the fronted comes through, but by friday night and into saturday, there it is. you see friday evening, 6:30, you begin to see the actual front working through. by saturday morning is when you are going to notice it.

let's not go overboard. but when you wake up monday morning you are going to notice it. i actually think sunday morning will be even a little cooler. these are the latest numbers literally coming out five, ten minutes ago. i think they will end up beg a little cooler than this. palm harbor 55. near the water it could be warmer, but those northern counties, spring hill, brooksville, areas up in citrus county, crystal river, i if brooksville wakes up to 49 degrees and everybody else in the low 50s. even our southern counties, that cool air is going to stream right down the spine of the state. low to mid-50s from polk, hardy, de soto, highlands, and maybe closer to 61 from bradenton down to venice. believe it or not we are still talking tropics. even though this looks pretty disorganized there's a high

ought tomorrow. it will likely get a name. the same cold front is the reason it is not going to pose any kind of a threat to florida. that front is going sweep it out. but i still think if you have relatives or friends up in new england, cape cod, back to prof tense, nare ray -- providence, nare ray watch out. water temperature, that's why the coast is warmer. still 80 degrees off clearwater. there are your tides, your sunrise and your sunset. hour by hour forecast. beautiful. temperatures in the 60s come wake-up time. another day with temperatures above normal. and then it all changes.

look at saturday. 77. tampa we're going 59 on sunday. our northern counties are going to be well down into the 50s, maybe even a few upper 40s, and then back to where we should be, maybe a little below normal. lots of sunshine right on through the next seven days. >> all right, thank you, denis. the bucs will be without doug martin for awhile longer but their defense gets a boost.

hello, folks. as if the buccaneer injuries situation couldn't get worse, it has. running back doug martin out indefinitely. no timetable set for his return. martin hasn't hit the field since the second game season. as we know in arizona when he injured his ham string. according to the head coach, martin had a setback in his rehab. >> that whole thing on injuries. there's no -- there's -- nobody is at fault when somebody gets hurt. injuries are the worst part of this game on all teams. look around the league. a lot of teams have injuries. we don't like it.

worse about it than the player. >> and so much was made in the buccaneers version of the twin towers. the wide receiver, mike evans and vincent jackson both 6' 5". now that jackson is sidelined with an acl tear, jameis winston's targets become more ordinary in size. >> reporter: what do the buccaneers do now that jackson is out? for starters they he was released this past season before recently re- signing with the team. >> i still have the same passion and effort. >> reporter: he does provide a fast and deep threat for the bucs. the pewter and red should be getting another boost. cecil shorts and louis murphy are getting closer to return from injury. >> i'm really confident about sunday.

by day, then we will see what happens. >> we're kwr50d to representing plays and getting stamina up. you can do all the rehab in the world, but nothing is like actual practicing. >> reporter: murphy still might be a week away. one this is for certain. with jackson out, adam humphreys will now be the number two target with shepherd and dye at options three and four. >> with the dd coming back cecil and louis murphy coming back, those are three guys who are very capable. >> reporter: the bucs still could make a move to add another veteran wide receiver but for now they are hoping shorts and murphy can get healthy fast. and this is definitely good news. defensive tackle jarrod mccoy has returned to practice on a limited basis after injuring his calf against denver earlier this month. the not so good news, along with martin, defensive end

mcdonald are still sidelined. as for the bolts, one guy moving quietly along is center alex kilarn. tomorrow night against colorado. >> in a way, you want to prove to the team and to everyone that they made the right decision, when they invested so much in you. you want to be able to show fort. so whenever you can score goals help your team win, it's huge. >> and game time tomorrow night will be 7:30. mlb playoffs, indians closing out the a.l. c 1st. they beat the blue jays 3-0. cleveland headed to the world series. over in the nlcs, game four, how about the cubs. they lead the dodgers in the 7th. we're back in a minute and change. closed captioning brought to you by lakeland toyota.
