let's get a check on the weather. good morning. we're going to wake up, it's going to feel warmer and be cloudier than yesterday morning. 68 in bradenton, 68 in sarasota, look what a difference tampa is 4 degrees warmer -- excuse me 7 degrees warmer. st. pete is 4 degrees warmer and it all has to do with the fact that clouds rolled in overnight. when that happens it sort of traps the getting maybe some sprinkles throughout pasco county out ahead of this cold front now. going to bring that rain chance up to 20% through the afternoon through our area. it's not a huge rain chance and very light if you do see rain. so at 6:08 we'll go more specifically hour by hour through your monday. we've got a pretty good commute, a little bit of issues here and there. let's take a look at what is going on out there just a little bit of fog

you downstate road 54 looks good just some lights to go through same thing with u.s. 19 and palm harbor not seeing any delays andrews accident state route 52 at i-75 off to the side. we're following breaking news this morning, a vacant home in the mango area was spray painted with anti-donald trump graffiti then the house next door was set on fire. >> this lt violence has neighbors pretty alarmed. ryan hughes is live in hillsborough county this morning, and, ryan, what's the latest on the investigation? . >> well, good morning to you both. once again i talked to a fire marshal who was here on scene a couple of hours ago. he said this is all under investigation. this home over my right shoulder separated with a swear word and the word trump, you can likely imagine what it said and right here it says burn everything with an arrow pointing to that mobile home and

let's go to video of the scene. it shows the message denouncing president elect donald trump along with the wordy mentioned it says burn everything with that arrow pointing to vacant home next door. that was set on fire. crews got the call around 1:20 in the morning. the fire wasn't too bad and they managed to put it out quickly. neighbors woke up to fire trucks. one woman quite rattled by all like timber wood and it could have went up in smoke and really really really scary to think that, you know, you might wake up every night to that. . >> and behind me you also see 3 letters blm, most likely standing for that group black lives matter but we haven't confirmed that. we'll be out here if the investigation changes we will let you know. >> unsettling for those

making headlines this morning not for what he did on field but for what he did before the game. wide receiver mike evans did not stand during the anthem becoming the first bucs player to make that decision. we're joined now live from the stadium, so why did evans decide to take a knee? >> well evans tells us that he decided to protest the anthem here at raymond james stadium at that game yesterday to protest the election of donald trump. adding that to do so. he explained his controversial stand after the game saying it was a different -- it was different from that of san francisco 49ers quarterback not standing to protest what he called the oppression of african americans when the president elect employed a campaign filled with a tone of racism and sexism the bucs leading receiver was shocked. >> when he ran i thought it was a joke, and you know, it's --

. >> evans's actions did come under a lot of fire on social media one tweeting hey look up the definition of the word democracy and remember this pic while kneeling and exercising your right to protest. late last night the bucs did issue us a statement about the protest. they said that they encourage all of their players to stand and respect the flag during the national anthem but they also to exercise their first amendment rights. they play their next game in kansas city. . >> there is a lot of backlash this morning on social media. all right. thanks. and it is another day of transition talks for president elect donald trump as he makes his first presidential picks. he's named 2 key staff members to his white house leadership team. we're joined now from the

appointed role in the trump administration and of course the today show coming up right after our show. >> and we will be watching. thank you. president elect trump may be softening on some of his campaign positions. in his first prime time interview since the election trump endorsed some aspects of only care including the provision that requires coverage of people with preexisting medical conditions. on immigration he said the border wall fence in some places but will still deport millions of immigrants with criminal records on the issue of same sex marriages he said he was quote fine with that, he also praised president bill clinton and said he had consider calling him for advice. >> he's a very talented guy, both of them, this is a very talented family, certainly i would certainly think about that. >> trump is also keeping his

rights and would help overturn the decision. well, one thing not changing is the president elect's battle with the new york times. over the weekend trump tweeted that the new york times was losing subscribers because of the quote poor and highly inaccurate coverage of the trump phenomenon. the times quickly responded that it has gained a lot more than it lost since election day. and hillary clinton blaming the fbi for her defeat in the presti call saturday the former secretary of state said her campaign was winning against donald trump until fbi director james comey's letter to congress. on that call she also urged supporters to move forward and keep fighting for their beliefs. time for weather and traffic on the 8s. >> even though we had clouds overnight time i'm still getting a lot of great pictures of the super moon. this is in inverness that just came in this morning. isn't that beautiful? you can see the clouds there but
