temperatures for today. maybe a little more humid than some of us might like, and we will dry things out as we go throughout rest of the weekend, and also could be looking at another cold front which

man who knows his trees. [chain saw buzzing] >> alcides: keeps those christmas trees are a little tricky, aren't they. >> jim: they are. when you take that tree out at the end of the season and all the pine needles all the way up right there. >> so dry.you are like, wow, it is time to go. frames -- flames any second had i kept it around. but you know what, we are looking at a pretty decent day for today. we will continue to see clouds moving through the area and maybe a little bit on the warm side as well. we do have a cold front that is pushing down the state. what this front is going to do is maybe cool us off cup of degrees as ge into sunday. and what it is really doing is dropping that humidity. kind of crept up over the past couple of days and that is front we have another front that moved through the middle of next week in one will be a pretty significant cold front moving across much of the southeast giving us pretty big thunderstorms and by the time -- it does weaken and should give us a chance of some rain as we head into wednesday and thursday of next week. and then behind that, we got more cooler temperatures and certainly need the rain because so far this month, we have only the driest month of the year, but that -- that is beyond ridiculous to talk about only .1001 of an inch. the dew point at 59. the winds are out of north at 8 miles per hour. pretty mild everywhere you go. w had 50s earlier across our northern counties up in brooksville. you started in the 50s. crystal river started out in the 50s, and now you are back up in the mid-60s. brooksville, 65 degrees he both at 70 degrees. same down in bradenton. downtown st. petersburg, 69. sarasota currently sits at 73. you work your way along i-4 headed to lakeland currently at 66 degrees. cold front is lined up back across the panhandle so you are seeing some cooler temperatures running in the lower 50s in tallahassee currently sits at 56 degrees. there is the cold front. you can see we have got a lot of clouds kind of streaming across the front. couple of sprinkles and showers through the overnight hours. those are done with. and as we go throughout day, if you see any rain, it is pretty much going to be a sprinkle. most of this is just mid and upper level clouds that are working their way through. you see showers off the east coast and notice none of that 1 headed in our direction. this front will continue to sink to the south. as it does so, cecil start to clear out the skies this evening and into tonight and then behind that, that is where the slightly cooler and drier air is. but all really kind of locked up to the north, because this time around, we just don't have that big trough to push a lot of the colder air down over us. so you look across the northern tier state, plenty of 30s. cicago, 36 degrees. columbia, ohio, 39. buffalo has a 37, but across the southern part of the country, we are seeing some pretty mild temperatures along the gulf coast. so a mix of sun and clouds for today. that front continues to work high pressure builds back in. so we get back to more sun for tomorrow. lower humidity, but notice there is the next cold front that pushes to the southeast as we go through the first part of the week and by wednesday, heading into thursday, that is working its way over us giving us that chance of some rain, but for today, partly cloudy skies. daytime high of 67. we clear out the skies and overnight low the 58. back to more sun. lower humidity on the water, winds are out of the north at 10 to 15 knots. seas 2 to 3 feet with a moderate chop on the bay. high tide at 1:04 this afternoon. temperatures through the weekend in the 70s at lower humidity works its that by for tomorrow. and then that next cold front heads our way toward the middle of next week, alcides. >> alcides: jim, why thank y you. coming up at 9:30, the world reacts to the death of a saying about the death of florence henderson. after the break as presents pile up over the chrimstmas

decades. the death of fidel castro. fox 13 editor craig patrick will be joining us by phone coming up. we are looking at a nice mild start to the day. we had clouds working their way over the state out in advance of a cold front which is pushing down the state. now this cold front is going to bring us slightly cooler temperatures, but will dry us out as we go through the rest worked its way back in over the past few days. over clearwater beach, a beautiful morning. 70 degrees. time coming up on 9 we invited women to a spa to test a new body wash. ap. dove body wash is different. it has only the gentlest cleansers. it just made me feel good. [speaking spanish] >> alcides: breaking news this morning. raul castro announces the death of his brother, long-time cuban dictator fidel castro. a sobering end to an emotional chapter in cuba's history. a differen kind of emotion in miami. celebrate. still people even there right now. all over the city, people waving cuban flags, banging pots and honking their horns for the cubans that fled the communist regime, this is a day that many thought they would never see. [horns honking] >> this is a dictator thats that hurt the lives of at least four generations of cubans, inside and outside the island. their families their people have been shot, people who relevant has been in jail for many years. so most of -- >> alcides: there is still no official reaction from president barack obama or the white house, but president-elect donald trump is tweeting about this news. and in just 18 characters, he writes, fidel castro is dead. short and sweet. from cuban exiles. mexican president enrique nieto say the country mornsor mourns passing of fidel, a friend of mexico. and nicholas mature row called to express his solidarity and love. india said that he was one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century. india mourns the loss of a great frie. phone. you have a very unique perspective because you were there when president barack obama was there earlier this year. >>caller: i was, good morning, alcides. one of the things that strikes me looking back on today, we traveled the same time that president obama did, and he spoke to president obama on state-run tv and encouraged people to rise up and challenge authority and while we were there, we had some who very quietly spoke us to off camera, of course, speaking of the corruption under the castro for something different. of course what remains to be seen is how different cuba will be after fidel castro because, of course, in 2008 he succeeded control of his country from his brother raul. >> alcides: we are getting news out of cuba and nine days of mourning beginning at 6 a.m. is this a symbolic death and are things going to change. this speaks volume. the cuban government said not allow shows in the entire country. flag also fly at half-staff. radio and tv shows can only play patriotic news and information. and tuesday, there is a massive rally planned at the plaza of revolution. when you hear that you are not allowed to play anything but patriotic news and information, it goes to show that you raul castro continues that dictatorship, right? >>caller: he certainly does and first place, even before this government mandated period of mourning, people were told and educated about fidel castro and his brother and the government -- on the government's own terms. so they might not get the full history of what played out, how fidel castro took the world to the brink of nuclear war, how he jailed and murdered his critics, the list goes on and on of things that many people in cuba will not know about fidel castro. the last thing that the govern celebrating in any way in miami. and with this, of course, the government is going to clamp down in a -- in a dictatorship that exists today, established by fidel castro and then continues. the irony is that he came to power running against the concept of communism. he railed on dictators. and himself. and was perceived by -- as a friend by washington when he did this. and in an attempt to overthrow the bautista regime. railed on dictators was the communist dictator himself and was in cuba for 50 some years. >> we have seen a tweet from president-elect donald trump, but correct me if i'm wrong here, craig, has he made a statement? where -- where does he stand on relations with the u.s.? >>caller: let's start with president-elect trump. he has not said much on the campaign trail but he said plenty several miami. he took a hard-line position on our relationship with cuba. he railed on the cuban thaw that has mraild out since the end of 2014. and said if elected president, those agreements would change. there is a good bet if donald trump is true to his word we will not see the normalization in the past several months. in fact it could easily and more likely go the other direction as well particularly if there is thought of the leadership in washington that closing things off once again with cuba may compel more change from within. >> alcides: very interesting to see what will happen here in the coming days. craig, thank you for being with us this saturday morning. we appreciate your perspective on all of this. thanks so much. >>caller: all right, a lot of folks waking up this morning maybe going shopping and so far so good. forecast looking good. right, jim? >> jim: yeah. things not bad. we continue to see scattered clouds working their way over. maybe a cup of showers through the overnight hours that did not amount to much. as you look over downtown tampa, you are seeing mid and high level clouds passing through a very mild start to the day with that temperature right now in tampa at 70 69. winds out of the east-northeast at 7 miles per hour, but at least you are seeing a little more sun. at least breaks in the clouds and a mix of sun and clouds as we go through the afternoon. wider view looking across the gulf of mexico, you do see these clouds stringing across the states in the panhandle. a cold front working its way into the state and that means a little bit of a change as we go through the next day. temperatures ever-so-slightly cooler but really we go through the rest of the weekend. right now we are at 70 degrees. the dew point is at 59. winds are currently out of the north at 8 miles per hour. we are heading to the upper 7 70s. we are also tracking another cold front which looks like it can actually bring us some rain as we head to the middle of next week. i will talk more about that coming up in just a little bit, alcides. >> alcides: jim, thank you. tampa bay honors willie rogers, the oldest surviving airmen before he died

warmed up pretty quickly this week. last couple of days, 83 degrees for that daytime high. the cold front is working its way down the state. it is a weak cold front, so we won't see dramatically cooler temperatures behind this front. a few degrees cooler. the big thing is to help lower weekend, and then we have another front that is going to be pushing across the southeast with some big thunderstorms. but by the time the front gets down over us, it is going to weaken and it will bring us at least some chances of rain as we get into wednesday and thursday and we certainly need the rain. it is a dry mon. the driest month of the year and this is kind of ridiculous. only .001 of an inch for the are kind of running out of town. right now 70 degrees. dew point at 59. that makes the

you step outside. it doesn't are that cool, cr crisp, refreshing feel to the air. so there is the cold front right now. that will continue to work its way down the state. do you see more cloud cover extending out into the gulf of mexico, so we will have a mix of sun and clouds as we go through the afternoon, that pushes through, we will have the high pressure kind of pushing back in. we will tend to clear the skies out. get back to more sun for tomorrow and lower humidity as well. so mix of sun and clouds for today. front pushes to our south. clears out the skies, and at the same time, here is
