>>jennifer: thank you. >>dave: 6:44. that is the greeting you get as you look outside. clear skies but more importantly, it's cooler, it's drier, it just feels so different out there. yesterday morning it was like a return of summer and this morning now, our dew points have dropped back in a lot of us temperaturewise have gotten back into the 50s coming off the 70s that we had yesterday. crystal river sticks out because they're at 48 degrees this morning. 56 in new port richey, wesley chapel. i got haines city, lakeland, brandon all around 57. 60 degrees tampa to clearwater. 40s going right across i-10. yeah. even 40 degrees exactly in panama city. you go down to south florida,

they didn't get any so far. they're at 78 degrees. this is amazing to me. you see a big bull's eye here. gainesville and jacksonville are 26 degrees colder this morning than they were yesterday at this time. tampa is 11 degrees colder. orlando nine. you get the point. just about everybody is cooler now that the front has moved into south florida. but of course, this is what you're going to feel, that dry, crisp air. dew points in the 30s and the which is all that pushed back down over south florida. i got 2 1/2 nice, dry days for you and i say 2 1/2 because i think on sunday afternoon, we're going to start to increase that humidity ever so slowly. notice where the front is, you do have some showers over south florida so kind of a dreary day down there. we'll have beautiful sunshine, dry air at the surface in the middle almost and with the northeasterly win, that's going

the next couple of days. but by sunday afternoon, our winds are likely going to shift back to the southeast and when we do that, then we start to bring the humidity back up again. so lower humidity, high pressure in control. you might mix a cloud or two for saturday afternoon but no biggie. moisture returns next week. we'll watch this low developing in texas, work towards the northeast, bring with it another fr now, on tuesday we actually have a decent chance of rain. rain chance close to 50% as the slow sits to our northwest and drags a front into the area. to be honest with you at this point, i'm really hoping we do get some rain for tuesday, coming off the .01 inch november that we had at the airport rainwise. much drier, 76 degrees for a high temp today. tonight our overnight lows near 57 degrees which means i think

inland and north, lower 50s. so just really, you get away from the water, we'll get cooler than the 57 and then partly cloudy and lovely tomorrow with a high temperature around 78 degrees. moderate chop voting this weekend, seas two to four feet all weekend long. winds will shift to nor of an east or southeast direction on sunday. 50% rain chance for tuesday, there's some signs that it might turn quite cool by next thursday. look at that. right now it's day but high temperature of 68 degrees. >>vanessa: thank you. 6:47. updates to the lane blockage we're seeing following that swat and fire scene in the south tampa area. this was at bay to bay and manhattan avenue. big improvements to the lane blocks here but we're not in the complete clear yet. one eastbound lane does remain blocked so it looks like you should head through there without any big delays but watch out for emergency responders on
