So lets talk a little bit about this super moon, all right because its not just a typical super moon which, by the way thats when the earth and to each other, but we actually have the biggest super moon. So well call it the superest moon. Thats what a super moon is, but the one thats happening on monday night is the largest super moon and you want to catch it now because the next time well have a super moon this large november 25th, 2034. Plenty of years to wait for it. So well talk m minute or 2. At 1 00 this afternoon plenty of sunshine, 76 at 4 p. M. , low humidity, comfortable 78 degrees, once that sun sets though its going to start cooling down pretty quickly. 70 degrees at 7 p. M. Right now its 75 in tampa weve reached 73 in brooksville. These are couple degrees cooler than this time yesterday but it feels so nice barely a cloud in chill in the air this morning just perfect. Mostly sunny comfortable low humidity this afternoon. Again, going to wake up tomorrow morning its going to feel cool for your morning walk hopefully youre out walking with us and 30,000 others for the heart walk. Its not going to have much of an impact on our weekend forecast. Speaking of the weekend expect 80 degrees saturday afternoon, lets give you a quick look at the heart walk forecast because if you go out to the 19 degrees again it warms up all the way to 81 degrees and comfortable for your afternoon on sunday and sunday there may be a couple of more clouds around on sunday and then monday, tuesday, wednesday, thats when that cold front actually brings us about a 20 rain chance. Highs staying in the upper 70s so even with the clouds still comfortable. All right. Thank you very much. Arlington national cemetery. [audio difficulty]. Were going to take a quick break. Were having a little technical difficulty and well get back to you in just a. Even with a few clouds on monday that super monday night. Lets talk more about when and where to see all this. Well do that because were being joined live by dr. Petro. Good morning. Lets talk about what a super ms normally. Simply a super moon is the closest full moon of the year. So its going to be the opportunity when the moon is closest in its approach around the earth in its orbit and full. Okay. So what makes this one super moon . What makes this particular super moon most super is that its the closest the moon will be to the earth since january of 1948. So its been quite a long time since its been that close. And why is that. The orbit around the earth is irregular, its affected by all of the other massive objects in the system, gravity of the sun, all pulling on well everything in the system but including the moon as well as the oceans of the earth sloshing the moon around. A orbit of the moon around the earth. All right so were going to have our clear rest skies over the weekend and not so much on monday night, but people will even notice that it is bigger and brighter before its completely full, right . Thats right. So yeah, even sunday night would be an excellent opportunity. It would be an excellent opportunity for people to check out the full moon, the super moon, even into monday morning if you have an opportunity to get up nice and beautiful full moon. And nothing crazy happens when the super moon its just how it appears it doesnt actually get bigger. Right the only thing well, it is the moon isnt changing in size the only effect that happens is that people will have a stiff neck the next morning. All right. That will definitely be us. Thank you so much i appreciate you joining us live from nasa. So have fun out there well be looking at that super, super moon. Right now you live out to arlington cemetery. Veterans day ceremony is happening there. Moments ago we showed you a live image of president obama as he placed the wreath in front of the tomb of the unknowns. Of course veterans day here in the united states, the day at that we give thanks to all men an women who have served our country. And now were going to an 8 on your side alert whether running can put you at risk. From cat calls to being followed harassment can leave women feeling vulnerable. Leigh spann is on your side so help keep you safe. I read in runners World Magazine about a survey that found 43 of women experience harassment at least sometimes when theyre out on runs. That compares to just 4 of men. So i talked to one local runner who is doing all the and still left her in a scary situation. Theyre lonely and sometimes its really dark out z. When she trains for marathons shes covering a lot of ground and that means there are plenty of opportunities for some unwanted attention. What are some of the ways that you have been harassed . Well, honking horns is probably one of the scariest it throws your rhythm off, you can trip, fall. In a parking lot but something caught her eye. It was a black pickup and he kept circling the lot. I was like this just feels weird. He wasnt parking, he was just going really really slow. And im in the middle. I cant go anywhere. When she pretended to make a phone call that driver left. Police sergeant susan prior is a runner too. She says she need to follow her lead appeared trust their gut feel right call police. I run in more of a sub division so if i needed assistance it would be easy to divert off a road to a house. The sergeant also urges women to stand tall while run running, shoulders tall, head back. When with an attitude. Look confident. Put technolo. Gps watches track miles appeared pace. When i start it, it will track where im where youre running if you dont return, and dont forget to use your phone and snap pictures of suspicious cars or people. Cat calling and stuff, bad manners is not a crime, but following, stalking, harassing is. And that is why the sergeant says you should never hesitate to call police. Now, the sergeant also gave me 4 more important tips runners are going to want to hear these. First of all stay away from running routes where you high hedges or isolated areas where someone might hiding and take your ear phones out, listen for footsteps or traffic and of course be aware of your surroundings next have a safety plan in mind of what you would do if someone approaches you so you already have that plan and finally, she herself runs with a whistle to let people know if shes in trouble. Great information so that you can steer clear of any scary turns plan she already had it in her brain she runs with a road id it has her name and address and Emergency Contact and she says if anyone comes to get her shes going to whip that off. Its sad that we have to think about it but we have to think about it. Again, you hope it doesnt happen but it can. And i was thinking when you mentioned the hedges its tempting to go run in places where theres a lot of shade and treeings and yourself in danger. Its very scary ive posted the article that has the entire survey on my Facebook Facebook page its scary what some people have had to deal with. Ive been honked at and that is scary because you dont know whats going to happen next. The head phones good advice too. Exactly. Were going to take a quick president obama and president elect trump getting to know each other at the white house but trump did more than sit down with the president during his visit. And wild fires keeping hundreds of firefighters busy right now. This is in North Carolina and georgia. One of them under suspicious of arson. And of course today is a day to thank all of our veterans. Youre looking live at a see president obama speak there in a little while. So many others going on all over the country these types of ceremonies and memorials, and just a way to say thanks to all the men and women who are currently serving our country or have served in our nations military. Good morning. Thanks for joining us on this friday morning. Lets check in for your friday forecast. Were lucky for all of the the humidity is low and its just comfortable to be outside. Lakeland ranch 77 degrees, calm winds so now lets take you through temperatures for the rest of the day. So about lunchtime most of us in the mid to upper 70s, were going to make it into the upper 70s to near 80 about 3 55. Then the temperatures start to fall once the one sets. This is about 9 30. Well already see some 50s by 9 30 on your friday night. Mid60s, saturday morning youre waking up back into some upper 40s, 49 in inverness, 54 in tampa, so the 8day temperature trend today is one of our cooler days at 78, 80 tomorrow, again a cool morning but a fast warm up, 81 on sunday, notices were into the upper 70s which is average for next week but i added in small rain chances. Washington since being elected president. He met with president obama and with republican leaders. It was a day of promoting a smooth transition.
