brooksvie weeki wachee 69. up in crystal river 68. inverness a cool 66. we do have warmer temperatures down across our southern counties. manatee and sarasota, sarasota you're currently at 77 degrees. lakewood ranch appear 74. then throughout interior, once you get up bit further to south, seeing temperatures approaching 80 degrees. sebring currently sits at 79. dew points a little bit more sticky today. just because we've watched that but that dry air sitting just to our north. as the front continues to work its way down the south drier air will return over central florida. you can see all of the cloudy skies stepping out into the gulf. but foi there are some breaks out there we can't completely rule it out might get few breaks this evening. to be able to see moon out there. but as that front pushes to the south. high pressure builds back in across southeast. that lend to dry things out. and kind scour these clouds away. as we go throug little bit of a clearing trend. we still have some clouds around for tomorrow. but by tomorrow afternoon, it looks good

weeki wachee new port richey, degrees. you work your way down into manatee and sarasota. lakewood ranch you're at 84 degrees. sarasota currently at 83. and then throughout interior, temperatures generally running in the upper 70s or lower 80s. now the view across the state partly cloudy skies. as you look a bit further into gulf of mexico. we do have more cloud cover more scattered showers that extends all way back towards texas. weak boundary slicing through the country. that will continue to work its way on to the east. and that means we see an increase in the clouds. but a lot moisture with this kind of fizzle out. as we go through the next 24 hours. so that's why even though we've got more clouds heading our way. we talked about the chance of rain, we're talking about a 20 percent chance of a couple of showers. but there has been some rain extending all the all way into great lakes lot of cloudy weather up there on backside clear skies, cooler temperatures. but there's nothing really to push that cooler air down across the deep south. what will probably actually see i

weeki wachee currently at 74 degrees. you work your way down into southern counties, sarasota, lakewood ranch, at 81 degrees. bradenton has a 79. over in venice currently 77. throughout interior, decent amount of sun and temperatures currently very pleasant, sitting in the mid 70s on top of that, that dew point, we talk about this all the time. just measure of amount moisture in atmosphere. the 30s, that is that nice crisp refreshing air. that's exactly what we've got across the panhandle. then as you get into flel florida low to mid 50s in most areas. really feels very comfortable. that holds basically today through the weekend by time we get into monday and tuesday we've got bit more clouds heading our way. we're going to start to inch that dew point up and humidity a little bit in that will also we'll see a better chance of some scattered showers around as we get into the first part of next week. now as across the state, and across the southeast you're seeing a little bit more cloud cover. lots of showers. and some clo

weeki wachee 82. over in dade city, and bushnell both at 82 degrees as well. and lower 8 and throughout interior, sebring you're at 82. lakeland 82. bartow currently sits at 81 degrees. and then the big key to all of this has just been that humidity. was it dew points coming back up into the 60s yesterday. we started out in the low to mid 50s. i was talking to actually felt kind of nice outside still. but as we went through the day yesterday, these numbers came right back up. and in fact, as you look to our south, places like wauchula, right now. that very moist air has worked its way right back over the state giving that very muggy feel to the air as you step outside. sop watch a couple cold fronts this first front pushing through much the deep south. big storms yesterday. but as it works its way into the carolinas, really starting to just kind of fizzle out. this orange shade yellow shade. that's area where we could see some tronger storms as we go through this afternoon. in fact already starting to see few storms developing right there acros texas into loui

dade city, brooksville, weeki wachee, then you've got crystal river, inverness both at 45 degrees and bushnell at 48. mid to upper 50s so a little bit milder as you go further south. notice north port, you get away from the influence of the gulf and temperatures fall down there. they're in the upper 40s. so is wauchula and further south on highway 17, arcadia at 51 degrees. it's a chilly s but that is because we cleared skies out. what a difference just getting away from the cloud cover with the temperatures. nine to 13 degrees cooler than yesterday at this time. except right along the water, it's pretty similar. so obviously a noticeable difference. the dew points are low so it's dry outside and you have tons of sunshine so the good news is, when the sun comes up later this warmup and really, it's just cool to start, mild to finish. look at the rain. look at the front all the way down just south of miami. so yeah, bahamas, it's a miserable morning there. they have rain, it's humid but of course, the drier air was able to settle all the day down to the miami area and you can see that

along with crystal weeki wachee at 73. and you head down to our south more sun means warmer temperatures. sarasota, lakewood ranch both at 82. then mix of 70s and 80s throughout interior. so there you see it extends out. and a future cast shows a cold front will be working its way down the state. not going to bring any changes maybe just dry the atmosphere out a little bit more. and bring back more sun as we get into tomorrow through the rest of the work week. so for today fairly cloudy daytime high of 79 degrees. then for tonight, overnight low of 64 degrees. seven-day forecast, actually looks pretty good once we clear out skies more sun daytime highs very comfortable in the upper 70s and overnight lows in the upper 50s and low 60s. we're back with more after the y should treat you like family... caller: hi this is patricia ramirez. operator: oh, patricia! colleague: i love patricia! colleague 2: when is she getting married? operator: it's about time, lady! this is the real question: how's that man you're dating? where's

it's 4r5 in inverness, 45 in weeki wachee and had high clouds overnight with the cold front. the southern counties are not as cool, but there's lakeland at 48. i expect us to drop another couple degrees before all is said and done. how about the gusts out of the north. the yellow are the gusts near 30 in sarasota and clearwater. a breezy day, and not a good small craft advisory in place. as the front dives south and high pressure builds in from the north and west, it will set the stage for the coolest setup. radiational cools will help tonight. that along with the dry air and the reason is chillier late. the dew points in the 20s and hasn't been this dry since february or march. this looks more november-like. 25 in chicago and 37 in d.c. and snow throughout the show in the kansas city. 1:00 kickoff, and that's close to where we're at right now. 51 degrees for that kickoff in afternoon. with all the sunshine in the world, get this. we only climb to 67 today which means it's the first day we'll stay until the 60s since late march in the afternoon. cooling down tonight by 6:00 p

weeki wachee, brooksville also in the upper 50s. i have mid 60s bradenton to sarasota. lower 60s in polk county. right now running about two to four degrees cooler than yesterday at this time. it's not a huge difference but a noticeable difference. just feels a little bit nicer out there and winds i'm telling you, every morning you get this little wind surge right along the immediate coastline. that's why you see the blueish color in southern pinellas county. i do look for winds to relax along the coast for this afternoon so keep that in mind. boaters, this afternoon will be a lot better than today. quiet overall pattern and the only little bit of a change is going to be this trough trying to push east. tiniest chance of a sprinkle tomorrow. that's it, though. other than that, the week looks tremendous. looks like yesterday did as well. getting these high temperatures back up and it's really going to be a normal week weatherwise because i'm looking at high temperature today around 82 which is technically above normal but within a couple of degrees, just very pleasant. t
