Us part part. Im laura moody. Russell and im russell rhodes. Lets start with the weather and dave. Dave its gorgeous outside. Granted for most of us, you need just that light jacket, especially inland and north. You will not need it by about 10 00 this morning so a very similar setup running out the door. Close to 60 in tampa but as you go further north, parts of hernando and citrus the 80s. Big cooldown for sunday. Well discuss that in a few minutes. Vanessa we have two big trouble spots on the roadways right now, and we want ta start with the latest crash northbound at the Sunshine Skyway bridge. Live look here, close to the top. This is south of the south tower where actually for several minutes, we watched as there was a temporary stoppage of all the north bound lanes. Just recently they reopened the left lane to drivers. So definitely some delays to be seen in the area. So take that into account, whether you decide to take 75 or just give yourself that extra 15 minutes at the very least to make it over the northbound lanes of the bridge. Sky fox is checking out what was a crash blocking some southbound lanes of memorial highway. Thats moved off to the righthand side. But it has caused some delays to stack up over the past several minutes or so. Were seeing delays between five to 10 minutes here. This is southbound memorial highway, approaching 275.

Just a few short moments ago, if you take a look in the distance, a tow truck was able to hook up a car, likely be towed away as this is happening near the 600 block of avenue i northwest in winter haven. According to the preliminary information released by winter haven police, this all started sometime early this morning. It was around 1 30 in the morning when authorities received a call from a woman who reported that a vehicle had rolled into her apartment. She reportedly told authorities that the vehicle have a man passed out inside of it. Officers responded to this location. You can see the crime scene tape blocking off areas here behind me. This is the area they responded to and found a man now identified as jimmy lee rogers, junior, inside of that car. Now, were told that rogers appeared to have a gunshot injury. That is information coming to us from winter haven police. Pronounced dead. At this point, this is sill an active, ongoing investigation. Again, this began right around 1 30 in the morning. Its unclear exactly how long authorities intend to be in the area or exactly how all of this unfolded. A lot of questions to answer as they work their way through the investigation. Well continue to keep you posted as any new details are reporter thank you. Also happening, the search for an inmate who took off from a work release job in bartow. Laura and he drove away in a county truck. Heres the picture of the man theyre looking for right now. Joseph flanagin. He was last seen 3 30 yesterday afternoon at a Maintenance Building in bartow when he stole one of the trucks. Detectives found the truck but no sign of him. Sentence for petty month. He had just four months left on his sentence. He recently got permission to do odd jobs around the county. Neighbors have a message if hes watching. Joe, turn yourself in, man. Get this thing over w. Dont be out on the streets like that because theyll be looking for you forever. Laura this is the second escape in the past month from polk county. October 19, david ross was able to overpower a the building, he drove away while holding the officer hostage. He was not on the run for long. Ross was caught a few hours later. Russell Police Released Surveillance Video showing the moment a car slammed into an ybor city ball. Laura the video from outside of the bad monkey bar. This is the moment theyre paying attention to. It was around closing time tuesday morning. A group of men were fighting and nissan and attempted to make a uturn but got caught on the curb and thats when the car jumped the sidewalk and slammed right into the fight and into the one man in particular. One person was hurt. We believe that was him. Nothing serious, though. Police do not know if it was intentional just yet. They have not found the driver. Russell and tampa police are looking for robbers who gave five usf students a scare. The thieves are accused of forcing their way into a night. They had guns and they were wearing masks. They stole a wallet with 300 inside. They had a getaway driver outside. They drove away in this car. Detectives want to hear from anybody who can help solve it. Laura and take a look at this.

Their kids may end up going to a Different School next year. Theres a plan to remove 500 students from Mitchell High School and Seven Springs middle. They have too many there. School board will hold two Public Meetings before making the final decision and that vote could happen in january. Laura there is more evidence this morning that president elect donald trump is trying to bury the hatchet with former critics. Doug is following the transition process from washington. Reporter a lot of big names yesterday ranging from Henry Kissinger to the ceo of fed ex but nobody is getting more with donald trump tomorrow. And thats mitt romney. Could this be the next secretary of state . Former gop president ial candidate, mitt romney will meet with president elect donald trump tomorrow. The trump team wont say much else. I anticipate, you know, meeting of the minds and of two equal partners in terms of those who love their country and want to make sure we have a peaceful and democratic transition into the next administration. Think of donald personal qualities, the bullying, the greed, the showing off, the absurd third grade theatrics. I dont like romney. I dont like him. He thinks hes hot stuff. I hate people that think theyre hot stuff and theyre nothing. I think bringing in romney, whether he gives him a job or not, is quite a signal. That was one of the bitterest attacks on a candidate ever an election can change everything is trump to hoping to broaden his support among republicans. Earlier in the week, he met with ted cruz. On the other hand, hes apparently turning to a registered democrat for the influential job of National Security adviser. The Associated Press reporting that general michael flynn, a top trump supporter, has been picked for that job. He served as defense session agency chief under president obama before becoming a vocal administration critic. Even though theres a lot of speculation about mitt romney possibly becoming secretary of state, there are also a lot of other candidates in the mix for that job alone. Laura another person traveling to trump plaza was rick scott. He took this selfie. He said he went to congratulate his friend. The trip had nothing to do with interests in joining the trump the u. S. Senate after that. Russell one of the hottest toys sold out everywhere but where to find it come black friday. Laura and enduring the ups and downs of marriage. Couples staying together instead of choosing a divorce. It hasnt been like this since 1981. Dave good morning. A temperature range of 45 to 66 this morning. Tampa at 61. St easily getting back in the lower 80s for today. Were running about four, seven, even nine degrees warmer than yesterday at this time. Today nice, tomorrow nice. Nice on sunday but just a lot cooler. This season, unwrap disney magic. Where smiles have no limit. And wonder fills the air. Where joy is the reason for it all. And everything is better together.

Its hard to beat that, isnt it . Overall week, its just hard to beat that. Great start to the day out towards the beach as well and then lakeland where we have clear skies and the gorgeous sunrise this morning. Now, of course, we do have many chilly spots around the area. Youve got the 40s, citrus, hernando county, weve got the 50s in polk county, 52 in brandon, low to mid 60s from tampa down through st. Petersburg so as cse and again, this is the case, too, you have dry air in place. It will warm up quickly and well have the beautiful sunshine today. I dont think well have any problem getting back up to 80 or 81 degrees. Across i10, low to mid 40s, low to mid 70s down towards the keys. Big cold front to the west. 70 in dallas, 42 in wichita. These little purple colors are temps in the 30s back out colder air is just slowly sliding toward the east. It will get here by sunday. Of course, it will modify before it gets here so instead of some of those temperatures, what well look at is more or less highs in the 60s, lows in the 40s monday morning. We still have lots of sunshine. The front will just bring a few clouds through late in the day tomorrow and that should be about it. So 81 degrees today, tons of overnight lows will top will drop back. Looking into the extended marine forecast, light chop and as you would expect, a strong cold front coming through. Choppy conditions on sunday. If your plan was to do some boating on sunday, check back in with lindsay early sunday things are shaping up. Low tide is 11 11 with a high tide 12 minutes before 7 00 p. M. Next seven days, theres the cooldown, 68. Down to 48 monday morning but then here is the warmup, back up again. 79 on tuesday, 79 for thanksgiving. Vanessa . Vanessa thank you. We want to get back to the skyway bridge right now. Were pretty much crawling in northbound direction. This live look is going to be close to the south fishing pier and this is all that traffic heading towards the showed you in the last report. Close to the top of the bridge, still only allowing that left lane to pass in the northbound direction. So we have delays sitting around 30 minutes or so. So that is what you will want to weigh into account if you have to decide whether to take 75 or just stick with the bridge. 30 minutes is the delay right now. Meantime, delays have pretty much gotten back closer to what we normally see this time of morning on southbound memorial highway. We had that earlier crash as i would say delays are a couple of minutes or so and really what were seeing on memorial back up to the expressway is usual what will we see this time of morning. Travel times overall show some agreeable congestion. I would say southbound 275 has not hit the red zone. Just 15 minutes to come from bearss avenue to the area and 14 is the drive south from fletcher to the selmon expressway. Laura teaming up with rent the runway.

And well let you know when this clears out and were still waiting for this to clear out. Crash northbound on the skyway bridge still same lane block janl as before.

Russell harvard student writes a letter to all College Students protesting again his message involving play dough and a little politeness. Laura an election race still too close to call. Alcides segui is covering that story for us. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Its hard to believe its been more than a week since election day and we do not have a Hillsborough County school board announced for district seven. Why its taking so long coming up next. First were celebrating the Holiday Season just a little early with walter allen. We have had ice rinks here at Curtis Hixon Park but its all part of an entire winter village. Well tell you about that, the event Center Tonight and the Different Things you can enjoy and also well talk with the buccaneers and their involvement buccaneers and their involvement in the winter z26jnz zy6z im afraid youre suffering from fobo.

Russell time is 7 30. Election results, not final in Hillsborough County. Theyre still counting votes for a seat on the school board. Laura and the record turnout is complicating things. Alcides segui, mailin ballots right . Reporter part of the holdup. The other is a record amount of ballots second here to Hillsborough County, really just across the country. Hillsborough county is the focus because its such a tight race for the district seven seat. We have lynn gray leading cathy james by less than 1 . It equals out to about 1200 votes. The reason its taking so long to announce a winner is because there are so many ballots. School board race is countywide and this year, record turnout because, you may have guessed it, the president ial race. The size of the recount is unprecedented. There are more than 608,000 ballots, each consisting of two sheets of paper. That means either separating all of the pages before running them through the scanner or just scanning all 1. 2 million sheets. Obviously thats going to take a lot of time. Another reason its taking so mailed in ballots arrived folded and its taking more time to scan those papers as well. Election officials need to work quickly. On tuesday, the elect board or the school board, rather, is scheduled to wear in the new members. The canvassing board, river view, Election Results this afternoon and i just spoke with one of the candidates earlier this morning and she tells me they will meet this afternoon at 3 00. Hopefully theyll have the results in by sometime this afternoon and well have better idea of who wins district seven in that school board. Back to you. Laura all right. Thank you. Russell right now Governor Scott cant run for reelection in two years because of term limits. However, theres a chance prominent attorney john morgan is going to be running for governor. Hes been giving it thought since helping fund the effort to pass medical marijuana. A lot of democrats are urging him to do it, too. Morgan appreciates the outpouring support and encouragement, a decision hes if he does decide to run, he has a few items on his agenda. If i ran, i would only do it one year, one term because its like three or four things i would want to do and then go home. Decriminalize marijuana, restore felons rights for non violent offenders, let all the drug users out of jail and addiction is not a crime and raise the minimum wage. Thats kind of is. Russell morgan says if he decides to run, he will name recognition will help. His company slogan, for the people, wouldnt hurt, either. Laura since the election, antitrump protests across the country. Some of those protests have been held at colleges. This age group is having a hard time accepting the Election Results but not all of them. A sophomore at Harvard University wrote an open letter to his generation. You have an obligation to be respectful to others and to the will of the american people. He goes on to say, protesting the orderly transfer of power under the constitution is a head scratcher. Maybe we can trace the road cause of the behavior to our generation receiving participation trophies while growing up. The election is over. Above have some etiquette. He ends by saying its time to put away the play dough. Do what it takes to better our nation. Were all on this ship together. And its appropriate how jacob ends the letter. Some schools are handing out play dough to students to help them cope with the election. Theyre also using teddy bears and coloring books. Some colleges encourage students to cry, cuddle with puppies and among the schools using these techniques are cornell, theyre grooming students to be sensitive cry babies, some say. Boston University Held post election discussions to help students process an election that did not go their way. Well keep following this story. Lets get over to jen with home town hero. Jennifer you know its tough taking time out for yourself when youre a parent. You try to put your kids first and sometimes you end up neglecting yourself. Balance with the worryfree workout. Ladies at horse power, these muscle bearing women are all moms. My oldest was two weeks late. I did burpies on the day i got induced with her. Jennifer what ashley and the didnt want parenthood to prevent them from working out. I think so many gyms, this build this great empire and have all these amazing classes but they dont offer child care. You take all my energy, huh . Jennifer and together, opened up horse power at lets, oneofakind gym that caters to parents. We have child the kids while were working out. Jennifer it gives these moms the peace of mind they need to have a worryfree workout. This is one hour of my day that i can be selfish and take it to myself and i dont feel guilty. You shouldnt. I have two small children that depend on me 24 7 and this is my only break. And in actuality, thats like a one percentage of your day. Jennifer child care isnt the only cool perk.

At the gym i become a little bit of my happy place. Its the only time during my day where you can come in and focus on myself or focus on being present in the moment and im not worried about what hes doing, im not worried about all of the things that i have to accomplish in the day.

We understand that the health and wellness of students helps them in the classroom and this is an initiative that the glazier family started out years ago and this is just another extension of a 14,000 students in our buccaneer Academy Schools and were very excited to kind of take it here to the next level. This is going to be an area for events on a year around basis but also a backdrop for, you Academy Program throughout the year, to youth across the community. Walter for people that dont know about the academy, start asking questions. Yeah. Its a Great Program and we i would like to thank the school board and superintendent for his support and all the teachers and principals that helped us create curriculum. The effect weve had with students, weve had our vision mobile go to the elementary its an ongoing partnership.

Mayor buckhorn out here as well and then well officially kick off the winter village. Russell looks beautiful there. All right. Thanks. Talk later. Walter see ya. Dave lightning will have to play most of the season without their captain, steven stamkos. Its going to take about four months for him to recover from an ncl tear in his right knee. That would mean mid he got hurt during a collision along the boards tuesday night in detroit. Its his third serious injury in as many years. His teammates went out and won last night. They beat the sabres 41. Thats three straight wins. Theyll play the flyers tomorrow night in philadelphia. And thursday night football, saints quarterback drew brees threw two touchdown passes but panthers beat the saints 2320. It was a big game. Carolina is just trying to claw their way back in the standings and the saints were just trying to reach 500. Heres a look at the standings. If the bucs beat the chiefs on sunday, how about this . Sole possession of second place but if they lose, theyll fall into a tie with the saints and panthers with four wins and six losses, all three are chasing the falcons who, right now, are 64. Russell this next stop were about to show you takes nerves of steel and insane precision. A man in the u. K. Decided to celebrate guinness World Records day with a spot of tea. It cant be that easy. He bungy jumped from 240 feet high and dunked a biscuit into a small cup of tea. There. He did this just as the rope reached the full extension. The mans name is simon barry. Seeker. Breaks the record for the h highest bungy jump ever. I didnt know that was a thing. There it is. Pretty cool. Laura yeah. Thrill seekers. We have a dilemma in our cupboard. Russell a woman posted this picture online of plates taking a tumble. How does she prevent them from crashing on down . Interesting ideas ne outside right now. Dave is back after the break with a look at the weekend forecast. Sevenday looks gorgeous. Its dunkins sweet black pepper bacon sandwich is back with twice the crispy, caramelized peppered bacon. Experience a breakfast sandwich made for bacon lovers. Cmon in, pop pop ing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, be noisy. Be silent. Be near. Be far. Be joyful. Be together. Celebrate joy with dunkins holidayflavored coffees, espressos, and donuts. America runs on dunkin. We just just word that jail inmate Joseph Flanagin has been just getting word that Joseph Flanigan was caught.
