pinellas and the skies very chaotic. what an afternoon we had. i think we have another day tomorrow that will be a lot like today. i always say two days in a row they're never exactly the same and a great sunset late today and there's certainly a lot of instability in the a atmosphere. this cold air will have high temperatures upper 90s. tomorrow i will plan on showers and thunder showers in the coast big and drift inland by the afternoon. what's left now is rain out over the gulf. this will gradually die down. no rain really over land. a couple of storms down by port charlotte, but not big deal. rain inland is ended but it was an active day today. nearly everybody had some rain and some of the storms were severe s especially north western hillsboro and western pasco plant city had some big storms too. right now temperatures not bad.

nights the earlier sunset, and the fact that we had rain earlier has dropped temperatures inland to near 70. haven't seen that in a long time. also, ex this will be on your news casts for about another week to 10 days at least. we have low pressure, it will be moving into the caribbean sea in a couple f of days. hurricane center has upped its 2-day development chance to 80%. the 5-day chance of 90%. that means we will have in all likelihood matthew or maybe hurricane matthew in the caribbean sea. and then, you know, the forecasting issue is going to be kind of tough because, you know, the upper level pattern not clear-cut in a couple of days. i will say this that the gfs model has been insisting on a storm taking a big right-hand turn, being picked up by a trough, then accelerating east of the united states and florida. the european model kind of hanginga storm in the caribbean sea for four to five days moving

the west. we'll have to see how this plays out. again, nothing in the short term. the 5-day out look is fine. this will be an issue middle of next week. got a ways to watch it. 77 now, the dew point is 70, and the south west wind at 7. showers and thunder showers ending now. you can kind of see the upper level lows spinning right here. that means cold air aloft, it means instability, and it mean as development factor tomorrow for storms this cold front will approach us thursday into friday and the models are showing lower humidity for us with a shift in the wind. temperatures now, 57 in buffalo. 53 in flint. 59 in chicago. gi 58 minneapolis. 63 in nashville. 49 rapid city. this is the first real surge of cool air we've seen in many months. 58 minneapolis. dry air is behind the front.

should eventually move our way thursday into friday. as always when you have your first front heading your way in september and october it's always the question mark is how far south will the dry air get? i think it will be awfully close. note thous difference friday into the weekend even though temperatures will stay in the 80s. temperature trend said at night should drop into the low to mid-70s maybe some 60s across our northern counties by saturday rain is done, partly cloudy and 76, storms build and they drift inland. watch out for heavy rain, frequent lightning and small hail. back in the upper 80s foo near 90. additional storms on wednesday afternoon. then on the 7-day forecast we're going to go with at least slightly lower humidity, especially tampa bay north as temperatures drop at night. and day time high stay in the mid f 80s. let's hope it
