we know likely a squall line setting up. as that continues to work eastward. in this moist rich atmosphere here. we will start to see some of the storms potentially strong, potentially on the severe side. this is a look at the threats we are looking. for mainly high wind damage. that appears to be the biggest threat for the overnight hours into early tomorrow morning. and especially if that squall line does develop. so straight line winds, typically what we would see with that. couple of isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out. could be a good amount of thunder and lightning tonight. and could see one to, maybe, 2 inches of rain as these storms roll through. this is how future cast plays out. overnight tonight. freeze it 1:00 a.m. you see showers setting off shore. making the way onshore. and by two, 3:00 a.m. heavier band stronger storms, especially up and down the nature coast are working n 4 or 5:00 making the way through tampa through the bay area,

englewon wood and eastward six or 7:00 a.m. of the talking about heaviest stuff done. lingering shower mid to later morning hours. so recap for tonight. 65 degrees. storms. especially after midnight. and for the day tomorrow. 68. early strong storms. and windy and cool afternoon. here is the seven-day forecast, temperatures in the upper 60s. for tomorrow. and dropping in the afternoon. only low 60s monday. tuesday. and next system to arrive, guys, will come next friday. >> all right. thank you mike. and non-profit group at the university of central florida gives some kids a boost of confidence. group makes prosthetic arms using a computer and 3-d print. most would say darth vader is a bad guy but a hero to one nebraska boy because he delivered alvin garcia the gift a lifetime. alvin was able to show off his new tumor all the classmates.
