anywhere from 43 to 46 degrees in tampa and hillsborough county. 48, 49 degrees in southern pinellas county. 30s will be likely again and rural pockets of pasco county. land we'll look for temperatures around 43 to 45. the afternoon looking a little more cloudy but also temperatures very similar to today. looking to top out about 66 degrees. we'll probably see thicker and high cloud coverage although they're likely again to be the high clouds but the temperatures top out where they were today. moderate chop on the water expected and if you live by the bay or gulf beaches we'll see high tied around 5 in the evening. after tomorrow we are really going to try to pin down this system, and it is looking like a friday first half of the day kind of thing where the low comes across the gulf and right as this starts to sweep in anywhere from the morning commute to lunchtime the jet stream overhead looks like it's going to be intensifying and that's some of the things that we're going to be really tracking and looking at. really going to help play a part in it's just going to be rain and thunderstorm

but we see this up in central and southern pinellas county and troy acres right now. should be in tampa across the bridges about 11:30 and bush garden, usf around u.s. 36, this way coming through lakewood ranch, making its way through apollo beach. we expand our view. through. like we talked about in the last couple of days. the main reason, the jet stream is pulling most of the energy off to the northeast our north. we are getting these little impulses along the front. that's what's keeps firing up one round of rain after another. while we were talking about it and watching so closely, the potential for severe weather, look at how wide the system is. runs from the central bahamas to the carolinas. what runs by coconut creek and miami county. the fog, rain with us all night tonight on and off. so between the two, it may be another morning where you want to set that alarm just a few minutes early. start your morning with us. we'll track fog, rain, of course, road warriors, sub tract any traffic problem. we'll get you to work as quickly as we can. if there are any probl

southern pinellas county, 5 and a half inches of rain in the last 24 hours. an inch and a half to two inches is common. if you look across the metro corridor between one and a half and two inches of rain. more down south where they had severe weather over the past couple of days. tampa right now, rain and 65 degrees. st. pete in the mid 60s. i'm ready for sunshine. i don't know about you. of sunshine. i think it will continue right in through gasparilla weekend much the timing is good. but the rains continue across the area. if you remember on facebook a couple days ago we posted an arc alert. usually our indication that rains. that certainly came to pass. and now i think a lot of folks are saying, okay, enough. we've got our rain. now let's get sunshine and beach weather. maybe a little cool for the beach the next few days. not early next week. we will talk about that in a second. throughout the evening, mostly cloudy skies. by 10:00, 11:00, we clear out. by friday morning, loo look at that, clearing skies, cool temperatures. nice northwest breeze. saturday

totals over the last 24 hours because they have been pretty impressive, especially across southern pinellas county. anywhere between two to three inches of rainment you can pretty much extend that up through i-4 around polk county as well. now, up north in citrus and hernando county, not as much. anywhere from manatee to sarasota county, that blue color right there is a solid one and a half to two and a half inches of rain. so good news, we can always use the rain. i think a lot of us are saying, this is supposed to be the sunshine state. temperatures in the mid 60s today. we're going to be in the mid- 60s tomorrow as well. but it will be completely different because as you see, northwest winds are now coming in. that's going to help to force out the clouds and force out the moisture and force out the rain. which means we're sunny tomorrow. the temperatures will still top out right about in that same location in the middle 60s. which is really where we are right now. raining and 65 at the airport. the dew point 63. look at the winds. they have come around out of the northwest at 14 miles per hour.

seeing more rain become our focus here's specially in and southern pinellas county seeing rain moving through pinellas into south tampa. as we look ahead to tomorrow, we'll see temperatures back in the 60s. not cooling down a lot. feeling much drier. we are warming up nicely for gasparilla on saturday. i'll be back with a check of your forecast coming up in -- ten minutes. >>> pasco county deputies are searching for three men who broke into a home. during the home invasion someone living in the house accidently shot a 16-year-old girl. it happened on garfield drive. no word yet on how the girl is doing. we have a crew headed in that direction. we'll have an update on 10 news this morning and our app. >>> it is thursday january 28th. here's a look at headlines around the nation and the world in your 60 second scan. >> apparently magan kelly is and donald is a fragile soul. if she asks him mean questions, i mean his hair might stand on it. >>> the republican presidential canidates minus donald trump are preparing for tonight's debate. it is the last gop debate before the iowa caucuses.

. >> most of the southern third of pinellas county and st. pete or maybe at the largo and right on down to the sky picked up 2. 5 inches of rain and the south thing around south central sections and hillsboro county. one or twoinches in the last 24 hours and you add that to it was a very wetstretch with temperatures right now cooling off into the mid to upper 50s. tomorrow, we'll be right back in themid-60s but it is going to be a different day because these northwest winds that we got right now will be bringing in cooler and dryer air, a lot of sunshine. so along at last,we'll see the sun return and it will stick around through much of the weekend. i do think maybe a little bit of clouds rolling in for gasparilla. >> temperatures right now is partly cloudy skies in the low 60s. there is the key right there. >> northwest winds, 10 to 15 miles per hour. >> that is why the air will be refreshing tomorrow. we'll get a lot of sunshine and we'll get this rain out of here. i don't see any rain in our forecast again until maybe a quick shower on mon

i'm on top of a fatal accident in gulf force in southern hillsborough county. pinellas county sheriff's office is on scene. they are telling me tangerine avenue is closed at 49th street south. if you are unfamiliar with this area it is near gulf port elementary school. this is a single-car accident. one person inside the car was killed. avoid this area for now. if you usually take tangerine avenue there are plenty side streets to get around this. let's go live to our sky 10 network camera. good morning howard frankland bridge drivers. you are picking up. these are the northbound lanes going into tampa. we are definitely seeing delays already. second into pinnelas the same thing. drive time is eight minutes across. >>> in the wake of deadly tornadoes in manatee county, desperately urging you to buy a weather radio. we are live in duet this morning. phone alerts weren't enough to keep people safe. >> reporter: absolutely. it is not too late for people to go out now and get a weather radio. the reason being, when that he look at all this damage it pulls at your heart strin

southern county, anywhere -- pinellas county, anywhere south of i-4, we see breaks in the rain but north of i-4 still heavier pockets. there is some relief coming. some major roads of downtown tampa, still at least with moderate rain showers and of course the heavier downpours farther north on i-75, especially through hernando and into sumter counties. here's what you can expect throughout the day. a little bit of a break here then by about 11:00 we'll start to see this rain moving back in to the area across tampa bay, becoming more widespread and heavy right through the evening with some more intense storms. the high temperatures today are going to level off at around the upper 60s to low 70s in some spots that are driest here the next couple of hours. the bottom line is that we still have continued chances right through tonight for flooding on the streets and for some severe weather as well. i'll detail that coming up for you in the 7-day forecast. >>> 6:33. our assignment editors just checked and found out a woman accused of shooting her ex- boyfriend in her st. pete home will go to c

pinellas county and down across the southern sections of maybe over an inch of rain. avon park, randall still plenty of clouds. mostly cloudy about does it. temp international airport. same number in st. pete. numbers have not changed so much in the last 24 hours. largely because of that number. the dewpoint is so high. temperatures combined with the cloudy skies, lack of sunshine really not warming up very nice at all. wind direction from the northwest. starting to see some stronger gusts here but i think we will see more of that across the forecast area for tomorrow. when you see the winds shift from the northwest to near the front has pushed farther south. a very high humidity across the region. pensacola dropping to eight. this upper level disturbance will swing through the area. possibility of rain showers. then higher pressure will continue to move in. got another little line here offshore in southwest florida. the bulk of this severe weather threat has been much greater across south florida for today. rpm clears it out overnight. winds draw in the cooler air. a

county, manatee have seen the most. a few moving pretty steadily through the southern and central portions of hillsborough county and coming onshore and moving from south to north across sections of pinellas county. you do see lightning strikes in the beginning of that squall line that will sweep on through the area, probably the most dangerous part of the storm itself. that doesn't mean we can't see some rotation potentially even with these showers moving on ahead at the moment. a closer look at those showers coming on shore south of bradenton through sarasota and offshore and all the way through up see at the polk county, harden county and highlands county very heavy rain around fort meade. most of the computer models are agreeing on a time frame anywhere from 2 a.m. to say 8 a.m., within that time frame. maybe quicker than that. one thing's for sure, we've been watching this whole thing through the area in the western part of the gulf of mexico. it will continue to do that as it moves across the state of florida. by the afternoon, the low pressure will be well clear of the winds and cooler temperatures will build in. you need to remain weather aware as much as you can perhaps while goi
