parts of hillsborough county. that's up, say, gunn highway. that's the veterans expressway right there. it's going to be moving to westchase. a quick sprinkle over the race track road area. not going to last long. safety harbor a quick sprinkle over mcmullin booth road, which i should know very well, and it's moving off to the south and the west. now, right now in south tampa we are starting to see a quick shower. that will last five minutes. that's it. it will blow out of here. this is th if you are heading out to the football game, a sprinkle between now and, say, 6:15. that's it. we should be good. a secondary line for eastern parts of hernando and citrus county. south now floral city. if you are in the brooksville area, can't rule out a sprinkle in the next half hour. wesley chapel, i think you're good from here on out. one left over here moving out of the kinsey area to the west

edgeville. cloud-wise, of course, we will keep a few around for the next few hours. they, too, will fall apart through thursday night into friday morning and temperatures, which are actually fairly comfortable most areas, look at the lower 80s from lakeland to mulberry. 80 land o'lakes. 79 in carrollwood. 82 in st. pete. it feels good. new port richey is at 77 right now. it's warm. it's the winds have been lighter, so not as much a breeze, 5 to 10 miles per hour. temperatures will fall through the 70s and into the mid-60s. we are about 68 yesterday morning or early this morning and yesterday morning. i think we have come down a degree or two. that's it. 66 to start off our friday morning. now, most of friday is sunny. beautiful, warm, 84, 85 degrees, but friday evening is when we start to see the

that's when the front will approach from the north and west. so the afternoon looks great. all of your outdoor plans all the way through the evening hours, including the st. pete wine and food festival. here you go, after that you see that rain coming through? it faults apart, citrus, hernando county 10%. mostly sunny for the first half of the day. partly sunny for friday. boating looks decent. it's a great day out there today. light winds. tomorrow most of the day will be like that, but in the evening hours the winds are gonna go from 10 knots to 10 to 15 knots, and then start to get a little bit bumpy because the front's coming through tomorrow night. saturday morning boating not the best. high tide on your friday starts at four in the morning and then another at seven in the evening. we have a low tide right in the middle around noon. so we've got some cooler air coming in across the northeast united states and the center of it is actually moving this way. it's not plunging straight to

southeast. as a rut, we don't see cooler air. we will get a taste of it, but the numbers we were thinking, 40s, 50s, is likely upper 50s to upper 60s for lows and upper 70s to near 80. it will be drier. you will notice the difference saturday and sunday. breezy on saturday. small rain chance through the weekend. it will feel more comfortable for all of those outdoor plans. >> bobby, pay attention to this story. parents out there, this is when you see which toys will be holiday season. this year it's looking like the hot holiday toy is the hatchimal. they are interactive toys. they are pretty cool. it hatches from a plastic egg. so you see right there -- you don't know which one you're gonna get. it's a surprise. you have to like nurture thing until it hatches. anyway, they are sold out online at walmart, toys 'r us, amazon, and in most target stores. i found one in the area that
