11:04 pm
notified the county and we've been talking to them every day. since ground water moves very slowly, it's not like there's an urgent thing. this is not something like now water going into a river or slowing down the river and people will be pick tupg momentarily. well, the company says it's routienly testing the ground water but so far con tam mates haven't shown umm in the monitoring wells around the plant. they say they will continue to test the wells until the department of environmental protection gives thell meanwhile more questions about the safety of owfer bay. the water there after more than 200 million gallons of sewage got dumped during hurricane her meefnlt the health department says most of the affected beaches are safe now. fox 13 evan lambert spoke to to a scientist to tell us why and joins us from the beach in tampa and that's a beach where we hear about where you can't go swimming evan. >> reporter: yeah, and it was closed as a result of all that water being dumb nptd bay.

11:15 pm
all his tests it are in good range. this physical exam to me shows someone at the age of 70 to who is in excellent shape. clear ri not an old 70 but a a young safety. trump first disclosed the find wgdz a taichg dr. oz and he said he favors making birth control over the count teemplet if you have to get a prescription, that's a tough something to find. it should not be done by who rpt in a position to get a prescription. and it could increase access to the bill for a women. others say it could drive up the cost for those who get it through health insurance. our new fox trump poll shows an edge over clipton and who voters think could possess handle the ee con ma any. but analyst say the math is not in his favor. he relies heavily on revenues and savings coming from higher
11:16 pm
we haven't seen growth rates like what he he is assuming in decades and decades. and new polls here in new hampshire show trump with noferghtsz granite state as well. sow was snubbed bit new hampshire newspapers which for the first time did not endorse the republican candidate endorsing the libertarian quair gair ri johnson instead. not much of a surprise one you consider trump has been in a fiewt feud with the publish irma quaid since last year. in new hampshire. john roberts. fox news. and meanwhile clinton returned to the campaign trial today. she says he is feeling great. she took a few days off to recover from pneumonia, today she was back in full force campaigning in north carolina where she leads trump in the polls by only .06 of a point. the state law maker caught on video slapping another man is caught on video giving a public apology and keith per rif

11:18 pm
the heaviest one, 2000 pounds. took 20 people to care rivment all swimming happily tonight. now, your sky tower radar forecast with fox 13 chief meteorologist paul dellegatto. >> look at. that a 99.1% full moon tonight. very bright over tampa. jason ludwig captured it perfectly. tomorrow it's the full harvest moon and super moon as well. sky partly cloudy. a full moon on a friday about tomorrow night. sky tower a couple showers to our west. couple showers to the east in the middle and we are rain free. rest of tonight stays rain free. tropical moisture does stay in place so we have 30 to 40% rain coverage into the weekend. if your concerned about friday night football, high school football to tomorrow night. i think it will be okay dying showers around. the thing about this time of year. even though it's the rainy
11:19 pm
heat and by will most areas that usually rain free. but dying showers night. we still have a tropical storm east of south carolina. and that one is meandering about. we'll talk about the new 11:00 advisory nay second. right now low 80s around tampa bay and the dewpoints. still in that mid summer range in the mid 70s. tough to taifnlgt here's julia. ian is almost off the map now. td12, we need to update now, a second ago thak became you can see the symbol right there. that is now tropical storm karl. julia is trapped but eventually it looks to me as though it will start moving east and northeast and way from us. look at the forecast track. this is for five days. i mean, you could walk in this case swim faster than this as it drifts northeast to the computer models are just confused as minute.
11:20 pm
think a motion to the east and northeast makes more sense at this juncture. we'll watch t. so as far as karl goes, here's the position. 17.9 north 32.5 west. top wifnedz 45. flair up of convection tonight and that is all being done by satellite in terp faismghts wasn't enough for the hurricane center to upgrade this from a depression to the tropical storm. the forecast reasoning has not changed. it will move west and move west west northwest after. that all these sim boms bowls are tropical storm sim boxes usually over warm water and lower shear. wowb talking about hurricane in five days. but there is so much dry air in the atlantic, that will likely inhibit any rapid intensification and then the forecasting issue was a dilemma because it does the big right hand turn into the atlantic or does it continue west or northwest north towards the
11:21 pm
this is tuesday so your talking literally seven to ten daze before it would even approach the east coast f if that happens at all. now, we stay in the purple meaning more tropical moisture for a couple more days. i don't think anything dramatic as far as rainfall goes. no more than 30, 40% and the best chance obviously during the afternoon hours. now, tonight nice night. moon lit and we're down to seven #. mix of clouds and showers and thunder showers developing during the day the day. highs up near the zero and no big change over the weekend wesm stay in the upper 80s in the seven day forecast. shows we're locked in. upper 80s and low 90s for highs and 75 to 80 for a low. back to you. all right paul. see you on friday. >> o coming up, a disturbing case out of university of florida. >> yeah, where a man was arrested for video taping other guys inside the storm dorm showers.
