then to the south, similar story, more showers working through toward sarasota north port down to englewood, as well. the east side of it, though, the eastern extent not too far off from pushing off shore. so i think we're dealing with these showers, overall probably for next hour, hour and a half, and then we dry out as we head for the rest of the overnight period. almanac today was warm with that afternoon sun. we spot the sun. 88 degrees for the high. 85 the average. should be in the morning, seeing those temperatures in the upper relative humidity 61%. winds are currently calm. 77 in crystal river. 78 in brooksville. 80 in arcadea. 80 in sebring. the big difference today versus the last few days i think besides the shower activity has been the dew points. you look at the dew points in the low 70s. so that is humidity unfortunately today. it stays somewhat up as we head into sunday, as well. here's your satellite and radar view. you see those showers streaming back across the state. similar-looking story on sunday. overall we continue that northeast wind. showers across the ?state during

north port at 71. 74 in bradenton. 72 in arcadia and haines city at 72. our dew points are back in that medium green shade. back to near 70 hence the rain. the east wind will stay breezy at times near the coast and will help the showers move from east to west. not just today but tomorrow through the week ahead. we will keep the rain chance in daily. a few coverage 30%. down monday and tuesday to 20% and then build the rain with chance ahead of a cold front that may move through late next weekend. so that fall-like air will be delayed for a bit. a stalled front to the north that is enhancing a little lift in the atmosphere today. more clouds than sun. climb to 86 for a high 1 degrees above average. look at all the clouds on futurecast. check out the wind arrows from east to west. and miss again at some point you will probably see some rain even into dinner tonight. turn off the faucet somewhat tonight. for the usf game. maybe keep an eye on the radar and not expecting thunderstorms. just showers that return on sunday and push westward throughout the day. s

low 60s from venice to sarasota, north port. myacca city, 56. and i believe there is something wrong with the temperature sensor in lakeland, mid-50s as well and 63 in sebring. in the blue, 24-hour changes. 10 degrees cooler to 11 degrees cooler in tampa and brandon. but the best part is that fall, crisp feel to the air, that dry feel to our air masses. our dew point into the 40s and low 50s. pretty much as low as they can get this time of year. it will stay dry all weekend long. now a little breezy today in our coastal areas especially. check out that gust of 28 in clearwater. that is the reason why you have boating plans, second half of the day is better and tomorrow evening better. small-craft advisories are in effect until 11 a.m. there is our cold front, that is our reason we are obviously cooler and drier as high pressure builds in, our winds drop. tomorrow morning even cooler 75 at 3 p.m. a cool afternoon by florida standards. we only hit 76 for the high today. but check out tonight, many more 40s from wesley chapel to crystal river. 55 h

i guarantee you you're not at 82 north port. you're in the mid-70s this morning. it's 72 in wauchula and 72 in hayes city. the dew points have risen with the frontal boundary outside the area. gainesville 65 dew point is not bad. the 50s in the panhandle look good. fall all weekend for them, at sky tower radar is active late last night for some. rainfall totals come up, but this morning a weakening storm and 60 miles per hour offshore. we look to the east for rain today. plan on a dry morning in all locations. look at the storms last night. they took a white to move in but they bearly budge. in our area 2 to 3 plus inches of rain in some spots including in western polk. portions of had strong wind gusts and upwards of 2 inches of rain last night. less humid air north of the front and muggy air south. the next several days feature increasing rain chances today and tomorrow. so unfortunately the timing not great for the bucs game. that's not to say we will see a lightning delay, but with scattered storms 3:00 to 8:00 pushing west as the bucs take on the bron broncos
