just over his fence line around fort myers as well as southern sarasota county. lehigh acres as well. the temperatures might be a little confusing because usually this time of year, a big storm system rolls through, a front rolls through. time to get out the jackets, right? this is actually warmer today behind this system. well, with two of them coming in, the cold air has been held up to the north and behind this front, our wind came from the southwest today. caribbean air. it is still warm so while we have been chilly all week long with this first system, we never got a north wind, so the cold air didn't come down. not that we expected it to. but it might have felt a little different. if you have lived here for a while to have that roll through and then it actually gets warmer. this one has got the cold punch with it. that is not looking all that impressive right now. when this hits the texas coast tomorrow night and, of course, we'll have the update on the forecast, this will be night and day difference.

well looking for the low to be a little farther south in this first system that is one of the things i'm watching for very, very closely, because the cloweer we are to the low, the more spin in the atmosphere and the severe threat is raised, and you'll see the storm prediction center is also agreeing with it. first, patchy, dense fog if you're on the road early tomorrow morning, especially north of tampa along and east of i-75. you can see visibility in numerous locations half a mile, quarter mile, a tenth of a mile. but quickly lifting out by around 9:00 or 10:00 in the morning that is the first of your weekend. the rest of your saturday, the warmest day of the week. anything you want to do, mid 70s. south winds and southwest winds, two to 12 miles per hour. we will go back and forth between partly cloudy and partly sunny skies. at times you may have a little cloud cover, and there is still an isolated shower chance, but the next thing we're watching

timing and placement of this next storm system. it will likely be rolling in a little bit earlier. so, again, some of the good news here, we won't be trying to get everybody out to work and to school. there won't be the volume or need to have so many people ton road as this is rolling through a lot of people either get to sleep through this or just not have to deal with it and let it roll on by. but we do want to slow it dunn and talk about this. timingwise, i would rook for coastal areas north of tampa, starting to get a little rough around 3:00, 4:00 a.m. the heaviest part of this is likely to be around the beer and the gulf beaches. 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. we're ramping up. but it winds down just as quickly. in fact, by 7:00 a.m., most of this should be east of i-75. so it is really an overnight and predawn event for most of us. but we are in a slight risk for severe weather south of tampa. southern hillsboro county, manatee and sarasota county t-

already put us in a risk area which is more wide spread. so watch the fog in the morning. enjoy your saturday. we'll be tracking this with you. we'll be in the weather center so any warnings come out, we'll be on tv. your martin luther king, jr. day, we clear out, but, my goodness, cool. 47 for your monday morning. look attitude's morning temperature of 44 degrees. wednesday, 39. tampa? we're going to be tracking this as well. we'll have more for you a good time to get that 10 news app! not only are their storms to watch but temperatures to track. you can get it on your phone for free. go to wtsp. two teams that used to be among the highest scoring in the nhl are skating it out at the arena. dirk koetter is not the only
