nothing bicick it up. that's in line. that's evidence that cold air is running over the warmer water. to make those cloud streaks. it's really pretty. having a weird day today where a lot of folks got a bunch of rain. in daytona beach officially. 741 hundredth of an inch. new smyrna. set a bunch of rain there. she didn't have it has bad. but she did pretty well ment about a half of an inch in the rain gauge. 22 here. only 51 hundredths of an inch officially. melbourne, better than a quarter of an inch too. temperatures are half of the star of the show now, weather wise for the next 24-48 hours. your entire weekend is chilly. or downright cold depending on how you look at it. temperatures right now, 22. detroit, 22 chicago. 31 atlanta. 25 in charlotte. all this area. 11-inches of sniff there in the last 24 hours.

not liking what you were putting down that are tease there. the magic played great and then they gave it away. basketball can be a tough and cruel game. sometimes no lead or shot is big enough. ask the magic about that tonight. their 19 point league disappeared late. and so did a win over charlotte. this one really hurts. magic hitting everything early led by 18 in the fourth quarter. but it all unravelled. they commit one of nine magic turn overs in that quarter. chemable walker is under way. magic down three with seconds left in the fourth quarter. but wait, victor. his first game back. the bank is going to be open for that three. depot tags the game and sends it to over time. just a huge shot. 27 points for victor tonight. but the magic could not get it done. here's the shot that wins it for the hornets.

how do you like that? 120-116. the guy in charlotte in over time. the magics have lost five straight now. looks like they had a win wrapped up. but troubling tendencies returned says scoot styles. >> we'll start rolling and things will start working. and anybody can see we're clicking offensively and maybe we're getting a double digit lead in any game. and all of a sudden, it's, you know, i got to do something. and it wasn't enough t magic's next chance at a win is monday in memphis. when skills heard the news that cleveland fired its head coach today he was as surprised as anybody. you had to lose games before you had to get fired. they got rid of david black dodd even that he though the team is 30-11. that's not good enough when lebron james is on the rosters.

locker room and this week's embarrassing loss. assistant coach, a former magic guard has agree ed to a multiyear deal to be the's new head coach. get out your purple. orlando city is about to get your two of major league soccer started. training camp begins on monday. year one was memorable for mega star. to the rapid fan base to the adrienne heat. players reported today getting physicals at orlando regional medical center. kyle, and brett, and darwin met with reporters. they return with lots of expectations. >> we have to make tae play offs. if we don't make the play offs, it's a failure. >> we've been through the year. we know what's expected of us and how to get through situations good and bad. so umm, i think that's going to give us a bigger edge than last year. the opener's march sixth at
