You see the shower starting early. Theres a lot more moisture in the atmosphere today and that will translate into thunderstorms. Something we havent seen in awhile. 79 in tampa with rain chances today 50, maybe 60 and tomorrow, 60 to 70 . One good thing about that is it knocks high temperatures to the im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. Hes a racebaiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. Donald trump is a phony, a fraud. Hes not a serious adult. I cant vote for donald trump given the things that he said. Trump should not be supported. Dave it is almost 6 14. Headlines early on this monday morning. Deeper moisture. I dont know why i said that with a deeper voice but deeper moisture moves in this week. Not only at the surface but at all levels of the atmosphere. That will translate into higher rain chances, especially tomorrow. Now, todays rain chances, auto to 60 . Tomorrow a little higher, 60 to 70 . So i think tomorrow, highest rain chance of the week. But the high temperatures drop back a of more cloud cover and higher rain chances. So we had the hurricane move to the north. We had all that rain. Last week pretty much a break from the rain but now those afternoon thunderstorms are back. You can kind of get the sense of how its going to work. Beginning with the easterly wind flow, you see a few showers work onshore around i95 or so between melbourne and vero and once we hit the afternoon hours, sul get the clash and some of the bigger thunderstorms as well. So just keep in mind that even though were in mid september, the weather pattern this week is really going to remind us more of like a july pattern. East wind flow coming across the state. I got a couple of spots still at 80 degrees. Clearwater, st. Petersburg, tampa at 79. West chase this morning at 77. Its warm, its muggy. Mid upper 70s to the south and solid mid 70s inland. 75, by the way, is the normal low for this time of year. Were close. A couple of spots along the coastline are a little warmer so scattered afternoon storms today, watch the flow, the wind pattern with that east to west movement so any type of sea breeze collision we get will launch a few of those stronger storms. So just in general as were getting more moisture to work into the atmosphere, youre each and every afternoon like, for instance, here is today. Deeper moisture. Then tomorrow, well roll the future cast forward. You can pretty much see the same thing happening every single afternoon this week. It will be like wave after wave of shower and thunderstorm activity. Rainfall forecast from now through friday, maybe a couple of inches of rain. So its not like were going to get 10 inches of rain but well have a couple of inches of rain running through the area with off each afternoon. So just keep that in the back of your mind. Throw the umbrella in the back seat and always check the skytower radar app, especially if youre going to be offshore, even along the coastline, doing some boating in the afternoon hours. Evening hours the next few days because were going to have scattered storms. Hot and steamy, 91 for today. Were looking at 58 minutes. Its getting later and later. 58 minutes for another beautiful low tonight and then for tomorrow, scattered showers and thunderstorms tomorrow. 60 to 70 the rain chance with a high of 89 degrees. East winds at 10 knots, maybe shifting to the northeast late today. The water temperature as a result, no rain last week and temperatures hitting record levels in spots, up to 87. Thats what its like. 87 degrees the water temperature out at Clearwater Beach and we have a high tide today at 10 49 this morning. Rain pretty much all week long. Look what that does to the high temperatures. It does slide them back intu the upper 80s. In for vanessa today, here is courtney. Good morning. We have a minor accident this morning along the Howard Frankland bridge. Good news is, no delays here but you can see the flashing lights. This is closer to the tampa side of the bridge as you make your way across. Only about six minutes across the span so not really a delay cross the bridge. Authorities are still working to clean up a crash southbound u. S. 19 at Holiday Hills boulevard. This is a little ways south of state road 52. Good news is that a tow truck is on scene.

When she does that, the needle stuck her in the right palm. Her lawyer offered to settle with the retailer for 12,000. That offer was rejected. Laura it was the kiss seen after the world. Sadly, the woman featured in an iconic photograph has died. Grabbed and kissed by george in new yorks times square. Its one of the most endearing images of the 20th century. Friedman wasnt aware of the photo until the 1960s. She did not know the man and over the years said it wasnt that much of a kiss. Friedman died of pneumonia at a hospital in virginia. Russell it may be time for us all to reconsider the Five Second Rule. According to a new study, bacteria can contaminate food that falls on the floor instantaneously. Researchers at rutgers tested food like watermelon and bread and butter on surfaces like ceramic tile and carpet and watermelon had the most contamination. Its most affected by moisture, not time, calling the Five Second Rule an over really happens when bacteria transfers from surface to food. Am i r my race is to get it before josephine or coco.

What a champ. Of primates looking at babies and Young Children but this one a little younger than that. This orangutan is in love with this womans baby bump. The primate is fascinated.

Southbound 275 this morning delays go. Nothing to cause you a big backup but we do have an accident 275 on the Howard Frankland<\/a> bridge heading into pinellas county. You can see the activity all off to the right shoulder here. Still a six minute trip here. This is heading in the southbound direction so thats our standard travel time there, not a big issue for drivers but do watch for flashing lights on scene. Tampa fire rescue reporting this accident at hillsborough avenue at himes avenue. We do have reports of delays in the eastbound direction of hillsborough avenue. Add three minutes or so onto the commute there. Interstates are starting to get a little heavy but southbound 75 still in good shape for bruce b downs to i4. That should only cost about eight minutes. Laura we have a firsthand look at how devastating distracted driving can be.

Two Young Children<\/a>, toddlers, condition, 3yearold was taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries. Investigators say the driver of the road and hit a van.

Laura Derek Koetter<\/a> gets a gatorade shower. Afterwards, he tried to downplay it as just another game but said he got emotional when Jameis Winston<\/a> handed him the game koetter replaced lovie smith. Russell we start 10 and we have 15 more games to go. Who is counting . Koetter put his faith in Jameis Winston<\/a> with the falcons leading 1310 late in the first half. Winston connected with simms, iii. Touchdown gave tampa bay a 1713 lead, one that carried into the second half. By the end of the day, winston completed 23 of 33 passes for 281 career. Winston says it belongs to his teammates. Any time you get points from the ball, its a confidence booster and just starts the momentum of the game. Its a team effort and everybody helped. So excited, excited for every guy in that room because we played like a team today, you know . That was good. Russell bucs won. Next week they go to arizona. Sunday, september 25. Laura it is 6 34. Opening day in the nfl started with a somber note marking the 15th anniversary of the september 11 attacks. In some stadiums, the ceremonies were overshadowed by controversy. In seattle, the seahawks linked arms as they stood for the National Anthem<\/a>. Demonstration was how the team decided to come together to support veterans and the military while continuing the conversation started by 49ers quarterback on racial injustice. On the other side of the field, four dolphins players took a knee, all four held a hand over their hearts as the anthem played. Dolphins issued a statement. We encourage all members of our organization to stand at attention during the National Anthem<\/a> out of respect and appreciation for the freedoms that we ar forded as americans.

Theyre red, white and blue. Its violation of uniform policy. Laura while the nfl season is just getting started, hockey season is around the corner. Installing the ice at amalie arena. Were awaiting the big transformation. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you guys. Great to be on the morning show this morning with you early, early, early. Well step over here and i can show you what is not ice just yet, but they do have the glass and the boards all in place and were getting the temperatures cool enough to make ice in here. Believe it or not, and i dont because im wearing my coat it is not cold enough just yet to start the ice making process. They actually have chillers under this floor that are working hard right now to get it cold enough to make ice. It needs to get down to 14 degrees. Im going to touch it. It feels cold but maybe not quite 14 degrees cold. Yeah. So thats what theyre doing right now. This could take hours so anywhere from four to eight hours. Things were delayed a little bit because there was a concert here last night. Bad boy reunion tour apparentl little time to get this ice in place. Theyll be working throughout the day. Theyre telling me that theyll have it definitely for sure by the end of today. Of course, the rookies will report to town on thursday. Theyll have their physicals and theyll get their first crack at this ice but before that even happens, we have another concert coming up, kanye west will be here on wednesday so theyll have to cover up the freshly made ice all over again just to kanye west can take the stage and believe it or not, we are just 31 days away from the start of the bolts season. They open up on october 13 against the red wings right here at amalie arena and before that, Training Camp<\/a> starts just next week so hard to believe because we just started football season. Were already talking hockey down here. Back to you. Laura and i know youre new here. Does that ice stay there all the time during hockey season no ma they just lay a floor over it . Reporter i was up in syracuse but it really depends on the arena. I have talked to them about this particular arena so they actually melt the ice down when the circus comes to town in a couple of months and then theyll create all fresh ice but like i said, it depends on the arena. Msg in new york city keeps their just cover it up, they have a whole system to keep that ice going, refill when needed but it depends on the arena. Russell isnt that something that they can do that . Remarkable. It is very good to have you here this morning and i think you were genuine when you said you were glad. Im working with that. Reporter i do mean it. I always mean what i say. Laura kidding, not kidding. Roy dont question it, ru laura its not exactly the best time to sport a hockey sweater. Russell coming up, dave has a look at the forecast and sully soars at the box office but not everybody is in love with the big screen version. One group says theres more im david jolly and i approve this message. Since were going to be friends huck. Let sw w wagton rllworks. Members of congress spend too much time rasicongressman david jolly on 60 minutes last night pushing back against the current system. Or o tera. David jolly has opened his Seminole Office<\/a> toan t get we can orism and protect the constitution comaressjoyou y dave its almost 6 43 and a little cloud cover to start things off this morning from the lakeland net camera. Its warm, its muggy. Weve begun a weather pattern shift. Were bringing moisture back in in the mid levels of the at whos fear. Look in response to what is happening as you get some showers early along the east coast of our state and as we get into the afternoon, this activity works west, bumps into a little sea breeze, some bay the big thunderstorms are back. More like kind of a late july pattern than a mid september pattern but its going to hang around for much of the week so we go from last week barely any rain to this week when were going to get a lot of thunderstorms around during the afternoon and evening hours. A couple of 80s clearwater, saint pete p, tampa at 79. Its nice and comfy across i10. Can see it. See all this extra moisture hanging around and last week, we were showing you the mid levels of the atmosphere and all that red. You see the red up here . Remember how we had that all sitting on top of us last week . Now we got a lot more of these darker areas, white areas. Thats more moisture. Thats going to help with the lift. The sea breeze collision is going to help with the lift. In general what thats going to do, bring the rain chances up again. Through the entire state. Then you get this weak tropical disturbance, i guess the best way to call t. Its not going to develop into anything but thats more moisture pouring in so by the time we get into tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening, thats where we run our best rain chance this week. Today youre looking at rain chances around 50 to 60 . Tomorrow many spots will be closer to 70 . Ten we just continue with those for the rest of the week. So plan on quiet starts and i guess stormy finishes the best way to go. Keep an eye on the skytower radar app this afternoon. It should be coming in from the east, okay . 91 degrees for a high temperature. By the way, still 30 minutes until the sunrise. Okay. 29 to be exact. Warm and muggy tonight. Overnight lows will be around 77 degrees. It will be cooler in spots that may get an evening thunderstorm and then for showers and thunderstorms once again. That will keep high temperatures to around 89 degrees so the one benefit of having the higher than normal rain chances is obviously it keeps the temperatures at bay. East winds for boaters, youre keeping an eye to the east this afternoon just in case. I dont want you to be caught offguard, offshore if that makes sense. Courtney . All right, dave. We are seeing that very slow traffic build this morning along the interstates. Southbound 275 here, you can see the headlights building up from bearss to i4. This is across fowler avenue. Its about a 15 Minute Travel<\/a> time for you as you make your way out the door. Weve been talking about a depression in the roadway this morning, eastbound dr. King between himes sky fox is up and they have been looking for this. It looks like they found the scene. You can see the hole in the roadway. The right lane closed along dr. King boulevard, although still very light and quiet traffic so not a big issue for drivers. Just be sure to use extra caution there. Dave it is 6 46. Give Charley Belcher<\/a> the day off so guess who is charley today . There she is, ladies and gentlemen. Introduce you. Jennifer im so excited about this. You know, dave, you and i have been friends for 10 years, right . A decade. Dave on and off, yes. Im just kidding. Yes, yes. Jennifer were not going to let a little football get in the way of our friendship. Youre a cowboys fan and im a giants fan. Youre also daveo the football pro so i could never keep up in a conversation with you about football. Dave and the text mes forth during the game. Were they not . Jennifer they were and we kept it cool. We didnt get mad at each other at all but prescott, what do you think about him . I was impressed. Dave its very tough being a rookie quarterback. Its a huge learning curve as Jameis Winston<\/a> learned last year but yes, the giants won 2019 but he showed a lot of poise. He showed a lot of character he will is going to be out for an extended period of time, i think they have themselves a gem. Jennifer thats a big deal. I have to say a lot of giants fans, we couldnt wait for victor to get back on the field. 700 days off. He had a bunch of injuries and we were all excited about the salsa dance he did at the end zone. It was good to see him back there. Dave it was nice. He had tendon and for a wide receiver, thats a hard injury to come back from. It was good to see him come back and he scored a touchdown. I wasnt happy for the salsa dance but it is what it is. Now, you had your own little controversy at your house. Your dogs were taking sides. Jennifer yeah. You know, i should never, ever i should know better. Dont go on facebook and talk about politics or sports and i just put a really cute picture on facebook yesterday. Ive lived in tampa for 10 years. I love all things tampa, including the bucs. I love you guys. I was cheering for you the whole game. I was so excited that you guys won so yes, we are a bucs fan, my family, but listen. My heart is with the new york football giants. It always has been. People were confused. Theyre like, wait a second. Youre from pennsylvania but i was born in queens, new york. My dad is a die hard sports new york rangers, yankees, you name it. Its like, i dont know, nostalgic for me. I love the tampa bay bucs but i also love any giants. Thank goodness theyre not playing together this season. Dave im from new england and im a cowboys fan. You figure that one out. Jennifer it doesnt make any sense, dave.

Youll leave the theater in a really good spirit and i joked with my friends that im turning into my grandparents because you want to cry. You know whats going to happen but when everyone is on the wings and theyre all alive, you feel great. The ntsb is saying that none of it is true, at least the portion involving the ntsb. Yes, they investigated the accident but all the characters, not one of them exists in real life. The investigation was not a the movie. Ntsb, you know, theyve got their wings ruffled there. Theyre very upset about this film. It portrays them in not what happened at all. But why let the facts get in a way of a good story . Laura thats true. Lets talk about the new iphone. It rolled out on friday. Preorders, right. Laura okay. It rolls out up. They deliver them this friday. Im holding my 4yearold iphone 5 with bad battery life. When they used to sell these things the first weekend, they would brag about the numbers. 6s and 6s plus sold 13 million in the first weekend. Well, the preorders on the seven, we know theyve sold out of some models like the jet black with the 200 plus gigabyte thats on back order for three to four weeks but after this weekend on monday, they will not report the sales figures. They dont tell us why not. Iphone sales will be off the last two quarters so a lot of people think this is a way to protect the image of apple. Some critics say the phone is not revolutionary, its evolutionary and theres nothing spectacular about the new phone so theyre not going to report the sales figures. The one good thing going for the apple iphone 7, the galaxy note. It catches fire. Russell can we talk later . Yes. Russell see you then. Thank you.
