The rain chances will go up some over the next couple of days along with the humidity and temperatures. I will time it out for you and let you know when it will feel steamy again. You havent been missing steamy, have you, janelle. Not at all. A beautiful weekend. Gorgeous. Outside it was so nice. The drive is better as well. We had a couple of serious crashes overnight that cleared. We are starting off with a clean slate. I have been checking dozens of no crashes or break downs. We are looking great on i4 at the polk parkway. About 22 minutes from county line road to downtown tampa. The drive on the veterans expressway is looking great as well. 17 minutes from 54 down to 275. Just 12 minutes from van dyke to 275 and a tad slow, nine minutes from waters to 275. Thank you. Early voting starts today before some of the first ballots are cast, a religious group is making a point to encourage bay area voters to get out and vote.

First at 9 00, democracy 2016. Ballots are being cast. Early voting has started in most bay area counties. James tully joins us at a polling sight in Hillsborough County. What kind of turnout are you seeing . Remember. Anyone registered to vote can vote early. We are here at the jimmy b. Keel library.

We havent done a head count but its steady. No secret that both president ial candidates have been suffering from low Favorability Ratings the last 12 months.

Almost everyone we spoke with this morning thinks turnout will be high with good reason. I cant think of an election in the recent past that i have been more concerned about in making sure my involve is cast and
