But its the eastbound, westbound drivers stopped at the intersection and of course, just east of here is where the actual shooting scene is taking place.

It appears to involve two vehicles from what were able to tell and we do know that this is a Fatal Shooting scene. Ml work arounds, u. S. 92 and sydney road. As far as the delays in the area, we are starting to see traffic stack up in the area of turkey creek road so northboundsouthbound where drivers are being detoured off and u.

So to point that out for you, even though the rain chances may drop over the next few days, we still have to deal with afternoon storms. Go back to the coast, a little warmer brandon, tampa, both at 77. 78 degrees in the bradenton area. Big picture, this whole front just hanging around over south georgia, that pesky low is still spinning around. The thing is, its spinning closer and louisiana so theyre going to see all of that heavy rain that we saw, flood watches are out for parts of the area, Southeast Louisiana and even parts of the Florida Panhandle are still going to have to deal with the rainfall from the low. But as this moves away and High Pressure moves in, we get back to a more normal weather pattern around here which is eventually high temperatures in the lower 90s and the rain chance in the afternoon and evening, still unsettled today. Showers along the coast later this morning, shifting inland later today, 84 degrees. Tonight warm, steamy, low 77 and tomorrow, 89 scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
