small but they just happened to pack a punch. >> that looks impressive. >> it is dry. >> it is and you look outside. another fire ball and one we have been used to over the past couple of weeks. hardly any clouds and a beautiful sunset across the area in pinellas county. thanks to andrew. i think we will see a lot of those over the upcoming days with veriling cloud cover and extremely low chances of rain. the cold air. taking a break by tomorrow we are back in the upper 70s. we hit 78 in tampa and 80 in sarasota. thanksgiving we will be back in the 80s and the 80s nevertheless. i know the folks like to get the fireplace going on thanksgiving. you will have to crank up the ac in the winter months even when it is 80s. it is nice to have the fire going for the holidays and the rain chances picking up by next tuesday and wednesday. typically this time of the year you need a cold front and i think we may see one.

but for the time being we are dry and going to stay that way at least until the early part of next week. mid-50s citrus and hernando dropped down to 32 and back in the 50s, not nearly as cold but for us below normal. tampa 63 and zephyrhills 58 and plant city 59 and low to mid 60s on the coast and waking up to the 50s in all in all a clear and pleasant morning but not close to what we had over the last couple of days. tampa and clearwater and st. pete clear skies with temperatures in the low 60s. satellite, it is just not much to show you there. is there? you were hard pressed to find any cloud cover across the area. i do think we will see a few clouds rolling from the east

the rain chances pretty much nonexistent. maybe a sprinkle to the east but most of our viewing area, we will have a mixture of clouds and sunshine. not sunny all day but nice. now one thing i'm to remind you, if your thinking about taking a boat out on thanksgiving or on black friday, there is a decent chance we will see sea foam. the water is cooled off and the air is so warm that is the setup for sea fog. maybe along the coastline and definitely offshore and this is a friday and saturday. if you are taking a boat out. upper 70s for the forecast highs to low 80s on wednesday. and it doesn't matter if you live up north, sumpter, pasco and hernando and citrus you will be warm like down south although maybe 81 in sarasota like today. so the pattern shows pretty quiet weather. warmer and higher humidity for the rest of the week. there is a cold front that will come through on saturday. very week, maybe a little bit

and the best chance of rain and granted it is not huge but that will be probably tuesday and wednesday. hurricane season ends in a week. go figure. we have got a hurricane out there. hurricane otto. winds of 75 miles per hour. and this one is approaching either nicaraqua or costa rica over the next 24 hours that is unusual. dating back in history. hard pressed to find any hurricanes making land fall in and around closer to home. look for winds out of the east at five to ten knots and water temperatures 64 and there is your sunrise and sunset. the forecast on wednesday, sunny and warmer in the 80s and looking at the next three days for thanksgiving. high of 81 degrees. black friday, high of 79. and for the weekend, 76 and extend that forecast for the next 7 days, florida's most

one thing is for sure we will stay warm. mid to upper 70s in the afternoon and morning lows in the low to mid 60s. thank you, dennis. positive vibes running through. one buck until today. what happened, tk has that next

hello. this is not what the buccaneers needed. one player suspended for four games for performance-enhancing drugs. the big mistake coming at a time that buccaneers could be jude's suspension begins immediately that takes him out of the seahawks game and they will be without another player that is put on ir. with the bucks defense faces is a hot quarterback in the name of russell wilson that has really come on the past couple of weeks. >> he is hard to sack. i mean this guy is hard to sack and then when he does scramble, he still keeps his eyes down the field and makes big plays to run the ball down the field

especially and our fans are familiar with graham from his time in new orleans and even though you haven't heard as much about him he has been healthy in the last couple of weeks and a huge threat. >> the biggest thing is just seattle is not running the ball as good this year as they have in past years. but wilson now that he has gotten healthy the last two weeks has shown that he is still one of the best players in the leagu the new college football playoff rankings coming down. the crimson tide sitting in the driver's seat and ohio state is second. michigan is third and the buckeyes and wolverines will meet at high noon right here on abc. the first of the triple header on abc. ending in primetime.

hosting 15th ranked florida in tallahassee. the alabama will get their shot and they would like to notch another "w" against the knolls. one big hurtle stopping the locomotive in the back field melvin cook. >> you look at his plays, both running and catching, and he is -- this guy is a special, special player that is going to play a long time at the next level. just as talking is enjoys watching good things on film, this guy is awful fun to watch. all right. it is going to be empty for the bulls if they don't play in the aac championship game. hard to believe with a nine-win season and a chance to make program history winning an elusive ten they won't be conference champions but they can make history and it can

and for our bull nation but for me it will be big for our seniors. these young men decide to come here when we first got here and they chose usf. one college hoop to pass along losing to florida atlantic, 78-62 and we are back in a minute. and change. cl

one more look at this beautiful seven days. a lot of folks visiting up. upper 70s and low 80s. we had chilly air and a thing of the past. the only thing if you are

it is not going to happen. sunny and warm and can you complain about that? i don't think so. 81 degrees and a cool front next week to give us much- needed rain. >> i don't think you can complain with 81. a good forecast. we have continuing coverage on our website. head over to abcactionnews.com. >> have a good night. we will see you back here
