Phad some pretty strong wind pgusts headed from Crystal River ptowards citrus springs. Pheavy rain of course the thunder pand the lightning. Pnow this is quickly moving off pto the northeast. Pit should in and out of here pquick enough. Palong 41 between inverness and pcitrus springs very stormy right pnow. Pif you can void that area for pnext 20 or 30 minutes, things pwill then quickly improve. Pi want to go to storm a little pfurther toward the south were pgetting rain right in the inellas county area. Phillsborough tampa over bridges. Pbut the main area of concern for pgulf. Pyou see this red rain, that is pthe radar thats detecting or pindicating there could actually articular storm. P so im going to switch over pto what i call velocity mode. Pshowing. Pstill quite a ways off shore. Pand thats what i want to point pout to you that more than likely pthere some type of water spout pabout 60 miles off shore. Pthat, but that within the hour, pthat whole area will be on pshore. Pwhether or not this rotation pholds together remains to be pseen. Pthats why were here we will plet you know. Pat that point more than likely pin back edge of that line robably a water spout way out pinto the gulf right now. Plet me switch back over to mode pyoure apt to see our preflectivity mode and back out pone more time. Pbecause its all about the rain pin the thunderstorm activity pright in the middle of our pviewinger st. Petersburg down pthrough bradenton. Pat the very least, at the very pleast, youre going to have to pdeal with some very gusty winds. Pthunder and lightning as all of pthis activity works its way on pshore. Pa lot more in way of skytower pradar views coming up that big pstorm about 60 miles off shore pwere concerned about mainly. Pbut i feel bad for Alcides Segui pthis morning because ive been pmoving him north, moving him psouth. Phes all over the place in phows it going, alcides . Pwhere are you . P were right now on the pveterans heading southbound. Pwe just passed the exit 10, pulrich exit. Pas you can see were bump tore pbump traffic going less than ten pMiles Per Hour. Pas of right now. Pwere at stand still its had pbeen like that for several pminutes. Pwe actually started to get ptraffic about mile north of here pearlier this morning we were ptexting back and forth decided pto go north because thats with pwhere it appeared strongest cell pwill be hitting our view area in pout Citrus County area we pdrive. Pand we did hit some of the pstrong patch of you know strong pwinds i should say during that pcommute. Pheading towards Citrus County. Pinto that hernando county. Pstronger sell seeps to be papproaching a pinellas area was pmoving towards our viewing area. Pand was were doing right now on pveterans approaching gunn phighway exit. Pand a you can see traffic ig pbump tore bumper very, very slow pmoving. Pbut we should be i would say pcloser to the skyway bridge. Phopefully the next half hour or pso, as that strong cell papproaches this area. Pof course keep it here to fox p13, dave i dont know if you can psee it ive got your weather fox p13 weather app right here when pjoe our photo journalist now pwhen hes driving thats what pim watching. Pto see what the radar is doing. Pand of course you can always pdownload the fox 13 pwww. Myfoxhurricane. Com app as pwell for more information. Pso again, keep it here to fox 13 pwell keep you up to date with pvery latest information. Pthank you guys p that you do my job for romoting skytower radar app. Eople dont realize theres no pgood time to get good strong pthunderstorms through here pheight of morning commute may be pone worst people have to get out pon roads they have to get where pthey are going. Pso at least with the skytower pradar app they can keep an eye ptraffic, right . Pyeah, yeah we certainly want pfolks to be careful out there on proadways by the way where pAlcides Segui is we have heavy pcongestion fur atraveling pveterans southbound, travel ptimes are up to 47 minutes. Ptop to bottom. Pso that is, pretty uncomfortable pas far as the delays were pseeing. Pdelays of about 15 minutes or pso. Pso leave earlier. Panywhere youre heading because prain is slowing things down. Pin addition also creating some pconcerns on roadways not only pare we dealing with slick roads palong i4 also crash slowing pthings both east and westbound phere westbound lanes, were plooking in the area of mcintosh proad. Pwe do have left lane blocked. Pwe also have an emergency crew phere on the eastbound direction. Pslowing things down approaching pthis crash site. Pso if youre heading outdoor in peastbound direction leave early. Pfolks who are heading westbound plining i4 if you can take phomosassa road around this articular crash site you can psave up to ten minutes or so. Pright now we also want to check pin on another concern crash that pthe point were causing delays preroute you u. S. 30 one pnorthbound lanes are blocked.

Pthese days big brothers big psisters of america keeps her pbusy. Pshe wont say it, but a ceo she phas single handed turned around pthe organization. Pthis is just pure service. Pand its all about how do we pcountry and i like being part of pa bigger mission. Pthats important to me. Pand so yes im very, very happy pwith what im doing. Pand Big Brothers Big Sisters is phappy too. Pthey move their headquarters pfrom dallas to tampa just for pher. Pand it paid off for both. Pshe certainly had her choice of pwhat to after her reign as tampa pmayor was over. Pthen it was speculated for a pwhile, a run for governor just pwasnt in the cards. P i gave it a lot of thought. Pbut you know, theres, the tough pthing about statewide and pnational Politics Today is how pawfully partisan it is and very pnegative. Pand im not either of those two pthings. Pthe being mayor, that was life pchanging. P sometimes the more painful pmemory comes to mind. P this year marks the somber panniversary for her. Pthe loss of her long team friend pand bodyguard tampa police pofficer juan serrano. Pit has been ten years since juan pdied, february 25th, 2006. Pthink about him all the time. Pand then came the losses of pcorps r58 mike reporters and a pdavid curtis and jeffery kocab. Pthat she says opened her eyes in pa way she never expected. Pthe way this whole community pcomes together and supports our pmembers of Law Enforcement, that pLaw Enforcement family is very pgratifying.

Pshe said believed in her even if pand were all better for it. P yes. Pwe are appear for getting back olitical scene or following it pauto she says shes always had premarkable ability to leave one pchapter and move on to another pone free and clear. Pand you know all morning long we pwill showing this radar that pyoure looking at right here. Pright now. Pwe need to get over to look at pthe forecast there arent many ptimes during the morning show. Pyou have this kind of heavy rain por threat of Severe Weather pcoming through. Pwe want to make sure you always pgot a handle on looking at the pradar. Pa couple of things that i wanted pto point out to you at this oint. Pnumber one look at the lightning pcounter on the righthand side pof your screen. Pand those numbers are jumping pup. Pso were getting more and more plightning within these pthunderstorms. Phonestly really mostly within pthis thunderstorm here thats pgetting ready to move on shore. Pwere seeing a lot and lot of plightning. Pa little bit of better news is prain for Citrus County and phernando county. Pgetting better up there. Pbut my main concern to be honest pwith you is this right here. Pits still 51 miles off shore. Pbut there is a large pthunderstorm perhaps a rotating pgulf. Pand this bears watching. Pnow a lot of times when you get pa line of thunderstorms to move ptoward the coast one or two of pthese will produce a little bit pof rotation or a little bit of pspin. Pwhether it holds on to that is panother story. Pbut its still about 50 miles poff shore. Pbut the radar has indicated that pthere is some rotation and erhaps a water spout ongoing. Pway out here into the gulf. Plook at this heavy rain just etersburg. Pand even the pinellas portion of pthe Sunshine Skyway which palready has a wind advisory pissued because of all the south pwinds weve had this morning. Preally, in this particular spot pfrom st. Petersburg down through pbradenton into sarasota. Pgoing to get the strongest storm pnext half hour to 45 minutes. Pyou switch over into what we pcall velocity mode. Pthis actually looks inside the pstorm with at greens on the map pindicating winds that are going ptoward the radar. Pand the reds, winds going away pfrom the radar. Pso when youre talking about a protation, you see how this green pis next to the red. Pnot completely defined but it is pthere. Pand thats why wering he a bit pof rotation and perhaps a water pspout out here. Pyou see proximity to coastline pstill about 45 to 50 miles off pshore. Pbut it bears watching sometimes pespecially when atmosphere pdynamics are set up like they pare today, sometimes at least pthis rotation can hold together pand thats why i want everybody palong the coastline to stay with pus as we watch this storm pquickly work its way on shore pnext frame of course you see pwhere that red and green, they pare very close together. Pindicating the potential for pthat rotation. Pthere want to forget about pCitrus County. Pongoing up around Crystal River pand inverness. Pheaviest activity is about to pmove out which is good. Pbecause youre under that ptornado watch from citrus pcounties all the way down to psarasota county. Pbut at this point, i believe pthat the strongest of the storms pand our focus is really more pdown here then it is up here. Pbecause thats quickly going to pmove out of Citrus County. Pwhat can you expect pinellas pcounty down through sarasota, pbradenton . Pvery heavy rain. Plots of lightning. Pand at the minimum some very pgusty winds. Pthats what you can, thats the pminimum. Pwell watching for the potential pfor some rotation or a water pspout coming on shore. Pwell watch that and let you pknow if that does happen. Pbut in the meantime, this is pgoing to be another huge day for pSevere Weather, no the just for pflorida, but all the way up the peastern seaboard including this phuge area of a moderate risk pwhich is just east of raleigh, pNorth Carolina. Pright along i 95 its going up pinto southeastern virginia. Pfurther to the north as well. Pthese temperatures, now that prain is kind of settled in ptheyve kicked back to about 71 pdegrees this morning. Pand by the way above where we pshould be i know some areas phavent gotten any rain yet polk pcounty hardee county, highlands pcounty. Pand a still pretty windy outside pthat south wind is just light preally pumping in warmth and pmoisture. Pnotice wind gusts as high as 31 pmiles in sarasota. Pso even you dont get a huge or pstrong thunderstorm, you still pgoing to have to deal with retty hefty wind gusts behind pall of this winds will peventually shift they will shift pto the northwest. Pdragging in some cooler air. Pmy focus though is for that pthunderstorm activity from i pwould say from pinellas phillsborough county and south poff the next hour or so. Pas it makes its way on shore. Pand then slides on east were on pair until 10 oclock this pmorning. Ptonight 52 for the overnight plow. Pthen tomorrow were back up to ponly 64 degrees. Pbut thats not the coldest of pthe air. Pwere going to return to more of pwinterlike pattern for few pdays. Pnotice 49 for a low on friday pmorning with a high of only 60 pand 44 on saturday morning with pa high of around 63 degrees. Lease, if you have to leave us, pyoure heading oh of to work or pschool, please have your pskytower radar app handy up and pwarning enabled in case we do pget you know youll get here pwhen youre not here watching pokay vanessa that app is pcertainly very handy. Pas you head outdoor keep in mind pyoure probably going to pencounter heavy congestion no pmatter where youre traveling peven if you dont have specific pincident reported. Pright now were checking out a pnew incident though. Pthis is in Pinellas County. Pwe have a reports of not only a pdisabled vehicle in the psouthbound direction of 275 at p22nd avenue south wee seeing pvery heavy congestion in that pnorthbound direction. Pessentially between pinellas pbayway and gandy boulevard. Pfur acoming from the bayway plike youre dealing with about p53 minute ride. Pso the rain is certainly slowing pthings down. Peven from what i can tell in pthis shot looks like raining pactually pretty heavily in this parea. Pbased on reduced vice iblts pwere seeing. Pextra time out the door, also, pif youre heading southbound, palong 275, in hillsborough these pare travel times that youre pdealing w 42 minutes to get from p75 to i4. Ptraveling southbound 75 from the p275 junction to is428 minutes. Pand then dont forget we do have pthat wreck along i4 westbound pstill currently working near pmcintosh, causing heavy delays pwestbound direction. Pbut also some slow downs heading peastbound. P39 minutes from buck man to 75. Lease do so. 3 3 live Location Plant hig p good day tampa bay. Pim Charley Belcher coming to pyou from a Plant High School. Pi know its a dreary day out pthere its raining commute is pgoing to mess. Pbefore you leave for work or pjust stay home how about few pmoments of some talented young phigh schoolers singing a great psong .

Pcome support these talented pkids. Phopefully that makes you have a pgood day tampa bay. Pgood job, guys. P it is a iths 30 now we will pstart with news were going to pwatching all morning long. Pa tornado watch in effect for arts of our viewing area. Pone of those days. Pget over to dave right now at phey. Pyeah initially tornado watch pincluded our northern counties. Pthen they extended it to add phillsborough pinellas, manatee pand sarasota. Pand honestly reason they did was pthis big thunderstorm thats pgetting ready to move on shore pnow. Pin fact youre probably getting psome of that whipping rain and pwind right along very close to pat Sunshine Skyway. Panna maria island up through ptoo. Pvery heavy rain and wind as it pall works quickly toward the pnortheast. PSunshine Skyway for next hour, pjust do it because this rain and pthunderstorm activity plus winds pgoing to make it very difficult pto drive in that particular pspot. Pwe have a concern about a bit of protation here on back edge of pthis line of storms. Pbut still about 40 miles away. Pand thats racing toward pnortheast loot more skytower pradar views in few moments. Pwe sent one of our 18 to brave pthrough rain and traffic. Pi want to see where alcides psegui is now and how things are plooking. Pit doesnt look good. Pthat doesnt look good. Pno, it doesnt look good. Pits been like that for quite psome time veterans expressway pbump tore bumper traffic now for plast half hour. Ponly moved a couple miles. Pi was talking to vanessa about pthis a little while ago. Pshe said traffic is backed up 47 pminutes on veterans expressway pwhere youre located. Pwell get to vanessa in a pminute. Pbut first lets talk about there pweather that every away talking pabout basically all morning long phere on good day tampa bay. Pabout 5 30 this morning we were pdown in st. Pete. Pwe knew this weather was moving pinto the area. Pdaves being talking about pwe decided to move further north pwhere the storm was expecteded pto roll through. Pwe got some video. Pwe got we ran into some strong pweather. Pbut for the most part it wasnt pas bad as a short time ago just pmoving back into hillsborough pcounty from our northern pcounties in hernando. Pwe actually got into some patchy pit is of stronger windssome pstronger rain. Pand now, this is the current pscene on the vet veterans pexpress was we approach waters pavenue 6 a traffic has backed up pfor quite some time now. Pand we have been seeing, you pknow just patches of strong rain por Severe Weather just come pthrough the area. Pbut, you heard dave talk about pthis short time ago. Pwere still waiting for stronger pcell to move into pinellas pcounty area. Pthats where were going to pright now, hopefully this ptraffic loosens up a little bit. Pfor more on that go to fox 13s pvanessa ruffes i know youve pbusy all morning long i can tell pyou what a traffic looks like pright now. Pits backed up and been that way pfor quite some time. Pgood morning your shot basically proad sensors. Punfortunately looks like youre pnot going to see any huge relief puntil you hit hillsborough pavenue. Pafter that point as you head psouth it will be a little bit pjammed up in very least. Pup near ulrich we have speed psensors onning veterans pexpressway you start to hit pdelays ten Miles Per Hour fast pas youre going to go. Pessentially exactly what alcides psaid he was seeing as was ptraveling south bound along the pvets. Pgood news weve shaved off a few pminutes in that southbound pdirection. Pbad news is 44 minutes still not phave good at all if youre ptraveling veterans expressway pyouve got leave early pnorthbound direction seeing a pfew delays 13 minutes. Pits not terrible certainly phaving an impact as far as the pweather on our roadways. Pdave mentioned Sunshine Skyway pbridge being maybe a bit of phazard for drivers at this oint. Pwere seeing not only rain ouring, actively right now on pthis f dot camera, this is just pbefore you get to the north ptower. Pwe also have a reports in dave ptouched on this a high wind padvisory that fhp put out for pso there are folks traveling pacross the water. Pbut dave even mentioned if you pwant to take an alternate i pdont blame you not going to fun pride if youre crossing the pwater here. Pwe do have as i mentioned before pi4 westbound slowing things pdown we do have back ups towards pbuck man highway at this point. Pif you can, gets off i4 at the pvery farthest west point of park proad. Pand, amake your way to sam allen proad as an alternate you could pshave off travel times there. Pwe do have eastbound delays pwere seeing up closer near pcloser to the man go road exit pwe have a crash thats preportedly not blocking any planes but you can see we do have pdelays continuing heading in pthat direction. Pso, anywhere youre heading ptime. P donald trump is walking away pthe clear cut winner of the pnevada caucus. Pin all he gets 12 out 30 pdelegatesseven to marco rubio pand senator ted cruz both won. Pthat was wrong in there i had to pboth won 5 delegates. P well played. Pour Political Editor craig atrick is here to give us a plook at what happened at the pnevada caucus. Pand what could be coming up pnext. Pall right. Pheres, you talked about this a plittle bit, we talked about it a plot. Pi want to ask you about the pdonald trump ceiling. Phas his ceiling being raised a pbit now . Pit certainly was in nevada pwasnt it now were into the p40s, right thats trump premise pwhere youre having a lot of undits and his rivals saying pthat trump has a ceiling. Phes not going to crack a third pof the vote. Pwhen other candidates drop out plike jeb bush they are rally pbehind somebody else and peventually overtake him. Ptrump has been saying, look, pdummies some of that vote is pgoing to be going to me as well. Pand i think he even used pstronger language. Pwere seeing that in nevada. Pand also, kasich may be getting pa little itty bitty of a bump of pjeb bush jumping oh out race as pthrush hold to get delegates low p3. 3 percent in nevada ultimate pstill eight delegates still pspread trump, rubio and cruise pand kasich and carson as well. Pnow with this trump heads into psuper tuesday with a huge shot pof momentum as he would say huge pbecause theres nearly 600 pdelegates in play in just six pdays. Psetting up quite well for donald ptrump. Pi want to ask you about marco prubio. Plast few days we have seen a lot pof endorsements coming his way. Pand i know that this is the anti pestablishment year for pcandidates like donald trump. Pcould this hurt him . Pin anyway . Pi dont know that endorsement pwill help. Ptake look jeb bush he had all pmoney in world whole slate pendorsements where did it carry phim . Phe wound up paying more than p 30 million per delegate and ponly got four of them money pdoesnt get you where you need pto be this year. Pwere seeing this. Pneither do endorsements i dont pknow that will injure marco prubio but i think that voters pwill looking at other things pendorsements are not driving pvoting behavior. Pit sets up donald trump to pappears anti establishment pcampaign. Phey thanks. Pthank you. Ptalk a little bit later p sure. P you can hear thunder outside pour studio. Pwhat mess it is outside. P sure is. Plook at that. Phey dave. P that rain is coming down. Pcoming down quite heavy too. Plooks like right over south ptampa. Pas you go southwest ward a line pof some very heavy rain right pnow going over the sunshine pskyway. Pquick moving thunderstorm moving pon shore. Pdropping a lot of rain in a very pshort period of time right in pthe middle of the commute. Pas you mentioned a we showed pyou, it, it really is quite a pmess right now. Ptornado watch is out from psarasota county northward. Pi got to say places like citrus pand hernando county, your severe pweather threat is pretty much pgone. Preally this that were concerned pabout. Pthis complex of storms as pcontinue its to work it is way pon shore. Psomeones right over the mid pspan portion of the sunshine pskyway now how heavily that rain pis coming down. Pnot to mention the winds. Pthe thunder and the lightning, pits got to be kind of scary. Pjust again avoid this area. Pif you can hold off going out in psouthern pinellas for another 30 por 40 minutes it would a lot pbetter because you still have to pdeal with this heavier rain and pthunderstorm activity which is pquickly approaching those psouthern Pinellas County pbeaches. Plets go a little bit further to pthe south. Pnow as you go further south, and pwest down here, theres actually pbeen a history of some rotation pwithin this particular pthunderstorm. Pas you look inside it has been pshowing a little bit of a spin, erhaps a water spout formed a plittle while ago. Pbut i got to keep checking back pin what i call these velocities. Pthis is what the radar does. Pit looks inside the storm. Pit doesnt look at where the prain is coming down, but it pand the winds that are flowing pgreen. Pones that are away from radar pwould be red. Pin a situation for a rotating pthunderstorm or cell for that pmatter, you would look for the pred. Pyou see how theres a bit. Pdoesnt like it is well defined. Pbut theres a bit of circulation pwith this cell. Pwhich is about 40 miles off pshore. Pso there could potentially be a pwater spout here. Pnow, whether or nots it holds ptogether remains to be seen. Pbut this is something that we plook for on the radar to talk pabout tornadoes, water spouts. Pand Severe Weather in general. Pwe will watching this as it papproaches the coastline over pthe next 30 to 45 minutes. Pnow well jump back into what we pcall reflectivity mode i dont pwant to forget but you northern pCitrus County. Prain is about to end or at least pthe steady heavy rain is about pso concentration now is this big pthunderstorm moving on shore. Pand the tremendous amount of pheavy rain, thunder, lightning pand the very minimum, youre pgoing to have to deal with gusty pwinds in spots. Pheres your tornado watch pthrough 10 oclock this morning. Pand as the Severe Weather threat pends they will start to drop a pfew of these counties here and pthere. Pbut right now our focus is from ptampa down through the sarasota parea. Pbut its not just us, this pSevere Weather threat goes all pway up into North Carolina. Pthey have a largest threat of pSevere Weather eastern and pnortheastern North Carolina plater today. Pthey will in what we call a pmoderate risk which is exactly pwhat a louisiana and alabama pwere under yesterday. Pyou walking out the door pobviously the umbrellas are pnecessary. Pyour skytower radar app is also pnecessary to get you through pthis line of rain. Pit will shift inland quickly. Plook at these winds. P14 to 24 Miles Per Hour. Pgusting to over 30. Pso thats why i say, at the very pminimum, youre going to have to pthe area. Ponce we get to the afternoon phours, the winds will shift and ptonight. Pback to 52 degrees and tomorrow pa struggle to make it up into pthe mid 60s. Pi think friday overall, coldest pday in the next 7 as we only pmake it up to about 60 for a phigh. Pthen mid 40s for lows for psaturday and sunday morning as pwell. Pso, vanessa we saw it coming. Pnow its here and making a mess. P yee certainly are seeing that paffect on roadways right now. Pwe have a live look along 275. Pand it appears we have heavy pjams in that northbound pdirection i was watching in past pcouple minutes or so looked like pthere might have been an punreported crash something that pwasnt on fhp but road ranger pout there with flashing lights. Pfolks were definitely slowing pdown crossing the bridge 23 pminutes. Pthats delays by my calculation pof at least 15 minutes or so. Pnot too mention the roads are retty wet. Plooks like its even a bit windy pthis camera is getting moved paround just a little bit. Inellas county we do have wet proadway and delays pep pespecially two 75 northbound pessentially youre not going to psee an area without any jams pexcept for maybe you can see phere from gandy to the start of pthe Howard Franklin bridge the ptravel sensor are showing some pgreen. Pbut overall if youre coming pfrom the end of the skyway pbridge, heading up to gandy, you phave a travel time of about 26, p27 minutes or so. Pthat looks like a delay of about p10 to 15 minutes. Pso please leave early if you phave to head that way. Ptime right now 8 43. 3 pwelcome back to good day. Pyou know most of us have heard pabout southeast ernie guide dogs pand incredible work they do. Pnow visually impaired people and pveteran who are ptsd and so many pother people.
