6:05 am
sooner than we might think right now. >>russell: clinton won the popular vote but lost where it counts. this would be the fifth time a candidate has won the popular vote but failed to win the election. trump's victory in florida was not a landslide but he defeated clinton by more than 100,000 votes and that's more than president obama when he carried the state four years ago. >>laura: so now the business of being president begins with 71 da trump and his senior team are working to pick a cabinet. >>laura: trump's transition team has prepared a preliminary list and you'll notice some familiar names. newt gingrich for secretary of state. republican national committee chairman, repeatedly the only name being considered for chief of staff. jeff sessions is an early trump backer up for defense secretary. attorney general picks include chris christie, jeff sessions

6:18 am
entire northeast. we'll get the coolish mornings and mild afternoons with temperatures close to normal. normal high around 79 for this time of year. we'll go 80 today with the sunshine and the beautiful sunrise that we're going to have in exactly a half an hour from now. starry skies tonight. it will continue to be dry. now, notice tampa at 64 this morning. tomorrow will be around 60 which means just about everybody away from the city is going to be in the 50s so throw that in the back of your may not need the light jacket this morning in spots, a lot of areas are going to need it tomorrow morning and tons of sunshine for your friday. it's veterans day. seasonal weather. high around 78 degrees. that is great. boating is great. how many times are you going to say great in one forecast? northeast wind shifting at 10 knots. water temperatures still in the mid 70s and next tide is a high tide close to 10:30 this morning. there's the next seven. other than a couple of tiny 20%

6:20 am
pennsylvania for almost every poll predicted a clinton victory. trump also dominated search data in florida and battleground states like michigan and north carolina. the election take search numbers should not have been a big surprise since announcing his candidacy in june of 2015, trump let searchs for most of the election. 2016 exposed big flaws in traditional polling making this vital information for future presidential campaigns and even at social media experts say candidates need to take a closer look what people are searching for and where they are searching from to target voters more effectively. >>laura: here's a video you need to see to believe. footage of a record breaking firework display is going viral and it will not leave you disappointed and australian man is getting dpriled by authorities after using a drone to pick up lunch and now that meal could cost him a lot more than a few bucks.

many areas to the north have already gotten back into the 50s and slow down there, crystal river. you're at 50 degrees now. same for brooksville. it's still 61 at wesley chapel, newp port richey and 67 in st. petersburg so another hour of these temperatures cooling down a little bit. this weak front has come through to the south of us now so just allowing some of that cooler but definitely a lot drier air to settle in. we do have a the upper 40s. there's one of them, tallahassee at 48 degrees. gainesville, jacksonville in the lower 50s but i think the two things you're going to notice today, first of all, we're getting sunshine back. beautiful, gorgeous day. but secondly, the drier air that's going to settle in, not that yesterday was humid, no, but you're going to go from a dew point in the lower 60s, where we are now, to the lower 50s and maybe some spots in the
6:44 am
out there with the beautiful sunshine today and that northerly component to our wind. the best part about this is watch the forecast dew point because it gets back in the 50s and then guess what it does over the weekend? goes down even further and down to the 40s come saturday afternoon. it's like we're going to get dry air today and then another reinforcing shot of drier air coming in over the weekend. all in all, beautiful, lovely and dry day. i do see one little thin ribbon of clouds here moving through starts of the panhandle. other than mixing a few high clouds in, enjoy your day. mostly sunny, low humidity, 80 degree foz are -- degrees for a high today. we'll go starry skies tonight,
6:45 am
means most of us away from the water to the north, inland you're all getting back in the 50s for overnight lows tonight so plan accordingly for that. then tons of sunshine for your veterans day. seasonable weather. high temp around 78 degrees and typically when we get a front to come through, it's pretty choppy out there in the coastal waters. not this time. light chop expected and your high tide at 10:20 this mornin fine tune and tweak early next week but in general, next four days you're looking at high temperatures running 78 to 80 and low temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s. good morning, vanessa. >>vanessa: good morning, dave. right now as we check in on roads, we see an incident with lane blocks to report and it is coming to us out of the manatee county area. hit and run crash reported at u.s. 41 and florida boulevard. really main concern is going to

lane that's blocked. i'm not expecting any big delays quite yet. we'll see how long this sticks around but you do want to use caution and maybe give yourself an extra minute or two if you have to head that way. 6:46. we'll switch gears and get to charley belcher and see what he's up to this morning. >>charley: good day to you, switching gears, shifting gears. >>vanessa: we did the same gesture here, too. >>charley: that's the shifting gear gesture. do you know how to drive a stick when i got a new car, i was bummed. they didn't have any standards on the lot at the time. >>charley: it was my first car as well and at the time my parents thought, look. everybody should learn how to drive a stick shift. in this day and age, i don't know if it comes in handy any more or not. since i have a daughter who just turned 16 and i'm thinking about all of these things now, and no, she does not have a car but eventually i'll have to get her a car. i thought, what a great way to
6:47 am
driving. you get them a stick shift. >>vanessa: and put both hands on something that is car related. >>charley: it's more difficult to text and drive a stick shift or do any -- like when you're driving a stick shift, you have to think about driving. both your feet are doing something, your hands are doing something. >>vanessa: good luck on a hill, right? >>charley: we live in florida. just stay out of brooksville and you'll be fine. >>jennifer: >>vanessa: i learned in georgia so >>charley: i turned 16 and lived in beach mountain, north carolina. first time i drove a stick shift, i cried and said, take me home. why did i just admit that on tv? i didn't cry, little baby. moving on -- jeez. i don't have to be that honest. i'm going to brighten up your
