While we are not going to see impacts from this disturbance this weekend. We need to keep an eye on it this week as it heads a lot of moisture with it. We will talk how it will impact the rai in florida, it used to be that if a child, a senior or one of to be sued. Has government lost its mind . So i fixed the law to make sure we are all empowered to rescue those who can not rescue themselves. That is the least we can do. After all the love they give. Dana young for the florida senate. You are watching good day tampa bay. Alcides 6 11. A large dust storm moves into the phoenix area. You can pairly see anything. The huge waffle dust moving into phoenix. No problems outside but visibility issues obviously. They issued an air quality alert. Storms moved through mess. In clearmore. Heavy rains caused damage to several buildings including a hospital that was forced to close down because of all the damage. Thousands lost power, but so thousands lost power, but so far no reports of any injuries. We were talking about a lot of wet models on the way but from what you are seeing on your models, lindsay, a little more accommodating to us. Alcides staying west. Hurricane season. With all the rains involved, the local impacts appear to be heavy rain and we know heavy rain can certainly cause problems and we will have to watch that early part of the week. Any time we up the moisture values the content of the rain falling can really be impressive. Really want to remind you these are not the impact from the tropical moisture. These are classic Florida Weather and we will wake up to a couple of ext clouds this morning. Really heavy storms last night, aware. I hated to hear about that woman that pass aid from a Lightning Strike in sarasota. So respect those dangers, please. East winds at 7 miles per hour. We are at 79. Dew pointing are high. A steamy part. Prime to afternoon and evening storms. 81 in st. Pete. Palm harbor at 78. Bushnell is at 77. Crystal river you are at 73. Areas south of the bay and near the coast seeing the best rain chance later today including sarasota about you are at 76. 77 in bartow. Sebring at 78 degrees. Sky tower fairly quiet. We look to the east with a couple of downpours and we look toward south florida with a leading edge of tropical moisture. Throughout the weekend, you will hear us discuss how the keys, how miami, how south florida is seeing a thank first taevs tropical moisture we will be following. Well south of the state. As we take you to the state, leftovers of rain to the west the gulf. A low chance of tropical development. That wont happen. And this one has a low chance of development as well. This is what we call invest 99 l. A disturbance that models are investigating. What you see a huge pop of red. That is deep tropical moisture, but because of strong wind shear even though we are seeing more convection. That is not to say that is organized. That a mess. A weak system that probably wont develop over the next two days. The odds 20 . Hurricane center has been gradually lowering these percentages. Not to say we dont need it. Keep a close eye on the gulf. The new models. We watched that westnorthwest track. Over the keys some time on sunday south of south florida. So we are not talking about Tropical Storm conditions in south florida, but tropical moisture. Then as we head into tuesday. As the models bring this into the eastern gulf, as that moisture goes up, our rain chances going up. Monday, a better chance of of our area. We hopefully wont see something organizing even to the west because we have discussed how much rain louisiana has seen. They dont need any more rain. A couple of our reliable models show a weak low which is not tropically organized over the state meaning we may see several days of significant amount of rain possibly. So what we are tweaking is how much we are going to see and who will see the best rain chance. At this time, it appears to be the coastal areas and south and venice, of the weekend and into middle part of next week. A couple of inch of rain. In the short time we will be watching localized flooding and does not look to be a big wind maker for us or anything like that. By noon, 88. 3 p. M. , 91. Our high today. Storms that develop on the east coast will be shifting our direction. By lunchtime, look how with that quick east wind, how we watch the downpours gliding by 6 00 they are around and by 8 00 start to see us losing speed. Sundays rain chance as of today 50 and we jump i up big time monday and tuesday and that is on the sevenday. 91. Scattered storms shifting west. Locally heavy in the coastal area and watch those storms ending tonight by sunset in most spots. 78 and back to it on sunday with the east wind. A tropical moisture Still Holding off until the early part of the week. Still 91 with a 50 rain ch chance. On the water east wind at 10 moderate chop. Keep an eye to the eastern sky later today. High tide is 10 04 on st. Pete pier. The next seven days which are subject to change and notice the rain chances ramping up. Highest amounts to the coast, monday, tuesday and posibly wednesday and the west wind thursday and friday and still a little tricky forecast but at least our confidence is going up that it is a weak system that will just bring us some rain. All right, thank you, lindsay. Head coach dirk cutter is a good one. Plus changes for the ray approximates sports director scott smith. Scott good morning. Start with football. Plenty of excitement surrounding the preseason g game. Number three, the home opener. New renovations at Raymond James and the most important piece, the performance on the field lived up to the big ni night. The bucs hosting the browns last night and getting you off to a fast start. Here comes the offense from the second play from scrimmage connect jackson. Jackson catches 78 yards last night. Next play, winston finds his other big man. That is mike evans. Another gain of 16. The offense coming out fast, run nothing huddle. Fast tempo. The moment of truth, roberto aguile caps off that florida. A beauty, 43. Even when things werent perfect jameis win our top old baseball skills. Gain of 9. Later in the possession, winston moving around, buying time, finding receivers, making people miss. That is Charles Simms capping off the 12play, 8yard drive. A tenyard play. 103, bucs. Special teams was absolutely special. Adam humphreys, look at him go. Nobody will catch him. 73 yards on the punt return. The bucs roll in, 173 defense pinning their ears back. A total of eight sacks. Robert ayers and gerald mccoy sharing the sack of Robert Griffin iii. Held offense to 254 yards. How about Second Quarter highlights. Winston going deep to evans. 34yard touchdown. Evans with 115 through the air nd a touchdown on five catches. Winston 1625. First half and it worked. Jameis came out on fire. Made some beautiful plays. Of course our defense was was unreal. Five sacks in the first half. Special teams, shoot, they did they did coverage teams and return teams, gorgeous, gorgeous play on the return punt by adam. So special teams and roberto, of course, huge night. Not just a field goal but a kickoff you know, the only thing could have made a better are more touchdowns in the red zone the second half on offense was sloppy but other than that we did a good job. The rays made a move they knew they would do one day, releasing Desmond Jennings ending his sevenyear career with the rays. Jennings could never get over the injury bug with hamstring issues coming off a knee in injury. Hits. Stolen just seven bases over the past two years. Kevin hash saying, quote, it was time and said, unfortunately, he couldnt get jennings on the field as much as he would have liked. A difficult end to the game. Rays taking on the astros and down 32 in the 7th. Cory dickerson huge night. Sends one to the gap. Logan morrison scores. Ties this game up. Finishes 33. Doubles by the way. All doubles. Out of his slump, a solo home run in the 9th gives the rays a 43 lead. We think is going o be a good end in alexs hand. But unfortunately no, first pitch carlos carr ea deep to right field and he is gone. Ball game all tied up. Evan gattis, a monster shot. This one over the train. Tough loss for the rays, 54 your final. That is sports this morning. Send it back to you. And looking for something fun to do this weekend.
