Its a beautiful evening, and a little breeze this novembers ballot is promising to be one of the most hotly debated tickets. This november is going to be one of the most hotly debated elections in history. There is more at stake. Anjuli davis explains one controversial amendment is shining light on the use of solar energy in the sunshine state. Reporter supporters claim its the obvious future for powering up florida. A new amendment tapping into solar power in florida is leaving many seeing red. The way the initiative sounds like it would advance solar. Its not true at all. Reporter Susan Glickman says amendment 1, which promises to protect consumers and businesses in the States Initiative towards solar power, is flawed. Current law already allows to you tone or lease solar panel, so we have that right. Reporter critics say the ballot measure is backed by the state hes big Utility Companies as a way to make solar energy regulated. Supporters of the amendment disagree. All were doing is codifying in the constitution the current situation. Reporter voters in favor of amendment 1 say it encouraging use and helps to protect consumers from fraud and makes the Playing Field fair for all consumers ifrments. If you create haves and have notes, this industry isnt regulated. You get to a have to raise rates on people that can support it. Thats not a Good Business model and doesnt make sense for consumers and doesnt make sense for utilities. Still critics say it means turning the lights out on solar in florida. It intends to make it harder for people, families and businesses to get solar on your roof. That was anjuli davis reporting. Since its calling for a change to the constitution, amendment 1 needs 60 of the vote in florida in order to pass. Carefully. The wording is always difficult to understand sometimes. Make your decision and read it carefully. Paul, were excited about some maybe changes coming, huh . Cold front. Were going definitely. We went from maybe to definitely. If that doesnt happen, were going to unemployed. That could be the whole transition. Look outside. 87 degrees now. Another hot day. 89 was the high today, and we just missed the record by one. Pretty toasty. The good new early now that the duration of the heat is not bad. I mean, think about it. Sunsets now at 6 57. Back in the june at 8 31. Highs today had 88 actually, officially 89 in tampa, 91 was the high in brandon, and 90 in bradenton and 91 in sarasota. Temperatures typically take a good tumble right around halloween. By the end of november, the now, you remember last year it was a struggle to get numbers like this. I dont think well end this year the same way we ended last year. I think were going to be okay as far as cooler weather is concerned. Next couple of days before the cold front arrives, well be about 85 to 90 again. Northeast winds continue. Were watching for showers today. I didnt see many. I finally found a few little sprinkles up in citrus county. This is kind of a rainbow ri theyre diving to the southwest into hernando county. Really not adding up to all that much. Right now we have temperatures near 80 on the east coast, and then mid to upper 80s on the west coast. Also making held lines, whats happening out in the bahamas, we saw this coming last week. Didnt know where it would happen. It looked like the caribbean sea, could be the gulf of mexico. Now it looks like the bahamas. This area of low pressure most storm or subTropical Storm otto. Its not coming our way. Upper level winds and the positioning of highs and lows means the storm should go up the east coast, maybe impact new england. Its got a 50 chance of development in two days. 80 chance of development in five days, and the gfs model shows low pressure spinning here, eventually getting going, going right up the coast. Could be a significant rainmaker knk the trees in the northeast. A combination of a big storm here and High Pressure back here here in red means the air rushes in from northwest. In the wintertime these big noreasters bring us our coldest weather. You get a big snowstorm here, and we have cold weather for us. In midoctober it brings in slightly cooler and less humid weather, and the good news is it will last a couple of days. Low 80s for highs. More northeast wind tonight. Not going to change much. More of the same tomorrow. A day just like today, a mix of clouds and sun and maybe a sprinkle. Upper 80s to near 90. Theres the low getting cranked up east of our state. Then by friday here comes the cold front. Not here yet at noon, but it will go by friday night. I did add a 20 chance of rain for friday. This cold front is not going to be a big rainmaker for us. Cold, wet and wild pacific northwest. Lots of mountain snow, too. Then watch how things transpire in the next couple of days. Tomorrow and then into friday were back around 80 to 85. The real cool air arrives on saturday morning. It will be in the low to mid60s and by sunday morning 50s to low 60s and by sunday afternoon or evening we top off in the mid70s. Very, very nice, and a very nice, agreeable change. Today the high is 89, and the low is 71. Evolve into fall this weekend. Again, saturday 79 for a high, and 62 for a low. The coolest morning will probably be on sunday with many spots in the upper 50s by day break. 87 now and the dew point is 65 and northeast winds at 8 00. High pressure dominates in the southeast. Again, were watching this swirl out here that will eventually become otto we think. Heat. These are 6 00 temps. It 8 its 86 in nashville and burlington is 79 and new york 76 and raleigh is 80 and baton rouge 88 and dallas at 90. Very mild evening tonight. Again, the front will slowly move our way. Lows overnight tonight in the 60s and low 7 ones. Tomorrows highs top off in the mid to upper 80s. Its going to be a great day to be outside, and the key is look weekend days. Maybe not some foliage, but it wll feel pretty good both weekend days. Very low humidity and lots of sunshine. Mostly clear lows near 70 tonight. Sunshine tomorrow, a mix of sun and clouds and a high up to about 87 degrees. Its not going to change much on thursday. We still have more heat, but a beautiful day, really. Its tough to complain about this. The dew points are fairly low, and the sevenday forecast is small chance of showers on friday, and a great weekend coming up. 70s and 80s for highs and 50s and 60s for lows. Thats your fiveminute weather cast. Back to you. What does todays big injury news on Vincent Jackson mean for the bucs and the career of number 83 . We discuss coming up of.

He simply complained about knee comfort after the game. What does it all mean . The bucks could activate him in eight weeks if the knee is healthy enough to go, but they only get one ir callup a year, and charles sims is also on the injured reserve. Jackson will receive the full value of the remaining 9. 77 million left if healthy cecil shortz will replace him in the role. While i may not be on the field for the foreseeable future, i will focus on beginning rehab as soon as possible and finding ways to support my teammates in whatever way i can. Dirk koetter said i know being placed on injured reserve is difficult for him, but hell be a strong presence in the locker prepare and development because thats the time of team first leader he is.

To the ice tonight, and this is a matchup that features the top two teams, the Atlantic Division and the top two teams early on this season. Both the lightning and panthers one win separates one from the other. The game will also feature a former bolt up against his old team. He faces the lightning as the panthers leading scorer through the first two games. He has a huge personality. Hes really, really wellliked in our room. I know when he signed with florida, we were a little dejected at that. Not only that he left us, but the fact he went to florida. He could have gone well be cheering for him tonight, but i cheer for him for the other 76 games whether we dont play him. Back to the Vincent Jackson news. This is a big deal. We dont know whether or not well see him again. His presence is needed in the locker room. Hes a team leader and will be here in tampa bay no matter what. This is his home.

Reporter in a possible sign trump will bring up the 2012 attacks in benghazi at the final smith, the mother of sean smith, to be a guest tomorrow night. In washington, kristen fisher, fox news. Lets bring in craig patrick. Hi there, craig. A lot of talk from donald trump about the election being rigged. That seems to be the keyword this week, as eve heard before. The president strongly denies that, of course. Why is he saying this, and what does he hope to accomplish . When donald trump is speaking about voter fraud, hes not talking about the potential for systems getting hacked and numbers changed. Hes of people illegally posing as somebody theyre not and then voting for example, voting in the name of someone already dead or someone that votes in one state and votes in another state. By the way, only is there evidence of this that appears to have been produced by aconservative activist james okeefe in newly released videos and in our investigations we have found evidence of voter fraud in florida. Dozens of cases of people that voted in this state in 2012 and carolina again. We followed one case all the way through to prosecution in our followup reports. So theres no question that theres evidence of voter fraud. The question is is it widespread as donald trump maintains, and how do you define widespread . That remains to be seen because trump has not produced specific evidence to note that it is by common definition widespread but that because hes focusing on this this will continue to be a big issue in the campaign. Hes noncitizens voting as well, and theres studies showing there is a small percentage of that swm. We are hearing this for the first time from Donald Trumps wife melania. She spoke about the allegations of Sexual Misconduct by her husband. She called thep lies. Ho did she come across do you think, and why was it important to hear from her . Its important to thats true from a spouse when those allegations are thrown against a candidate because that spouse speaking up for the character in this case of her husband, i campaign. In this case she is saying what donald trump said on that tape was inappropriate to her, but she maintains that he was egged on in effect and that she had never heard him speak that way in her experience and based on her experience with him that he respects women. And again, its important to hear from a spouse, because that is somebody who knows that individual best and were she not to stand up to and defend certainly bigger flags. So this is an important moment for the trump campaign. No doubt about that. Anxious for tomorrow night. Craig, thanks. Thanks.

A fantastic byes way, thanks everybody for posting fall foliage pictures from around the country. I had a good one come in from spokane, washington earlier today. A bunch of them from maine, new hampshire, vermont, some in north carolina. Theyre on my facebook page. Check it out. Still a few tonight. Sirata beach looks good and great sunset at 6 57 tonight. 89 is the high, just missed the record by one. The morning low is 71. 77, which, of course, that was snowed in tampa. 47 and 71 again the morning low. Were not close to the number. Highs across the board going back 18 days this month, and its another warm month. Check out this streak going back to the 13th, 89, 88, 90, 90, 89, we do a high 80s here. Over the weekend a significant temperature drop as the cold front finally goes were not cool with a northeast wind blowing over land. I saw a couple of showers or sprinkles up in citrus county, but theres not much left. Thats that. Temperatures around the state today, jacksonville is 79, vero is 81, miami is 83 and key west 83 and tallahassee 87 and the dew points are really not that bad. So even though weve had high temperatures well into the 80s, the dew points in most places are in the mid60s. With a good wind it feels nice to be outside. The winds are active for the past literally eight days. Weve had a gusty northeast win and general low pressure east of us and High Pressure across the Midatlantic States giving us a gusty wind. Gusting to 22 and causing bigtime flooding along the east coast. Its longlasting swells initially from matthew and then nicole and now theres another system over the bahamas. This has been pounding our east coast and some flooding, too. Heres the low over the bahamas that will probably become Tropical Storm otto. I want to reassure you that if this does develop, its not going to take a big lefthand turn and go this way. Usually tropical systems in midoctober do not move east to west. They usually move due north or northeast. As we move through oshth, the jet stream dives farther south and the upper level winds turn west to east. Tropical system to go this way in midoctober, and the model hinted that. You see it developing and then moving north kind of paralleling our stay. One thing that low will eventually do is drag down lots of dry air. Well show you that on the water vapor by all the brown. Lots of dry air moves in, and dry air, you know, also cools nicely.
