week from this friday. one more warm and muggy day on wednesday with temperatures right back in the mid-80s. we've got a cold front coming in thursday. it's the same one that's bringing the rain to gatlinburg and it's also bringing the severe weather across the deep south. for us it will weaken but still bring us some rain, especially north of i-4 and some showers possible late sunday into monday and i think those bigger changes are going to hold off until the end of next week. temperatures right now still very warm, very muggy, upper 60s to the middl points have been well into the 60s up near 70. you start seeing that word "muggy " pop up again. one more thursday, first of two, maybe three. not going to bring us a huge change, but definitely a little cooler, dryer come thursday night, friday, and into saturday. right now upper 60s to partly cloudy skies. we had sunny skies, we had cloudy skies, and even some rain

bump up again by the latter half. it will be light. check out the end of next week. come friday and saturday, that's that stronger front i'm talking about, that's the one that's going to bring us at least based on the current thinking, some much colder weather that friday night and saturday. in other words not this weekend but next weekend. so we've got one more day of this right bacin mid-80s across the entire viewing area you're in citrus, orlando, everybody will be in the low to mid-80s and that long range pattern we stay warm for a while, but like i said towards the end of next week we start to cool off. there's big storm could create some major snow from the great lakes to new england sometime that following weekend. closer to home for the boaters,

rain chances about 20, maybe 30% on thursday, north of i-4. friday and saturday look good. now rain, sunday night late into monday, should not be a big deal. definitely don't change your weekend plans. we're in the 70s until the cool down returns by the end of next week. one bad game is okay. two in a row you go, hmm. tk examines sports. on the next morning blend we check in with mossy and see how they help you celebrate the holidays. >> plus we take you to a d.i.y. paradise, we'll show you around a one of a kind store, a
