temperatures to plummet when the sun goes down. of course, on the opposite side, it warm us up quickly as well and i think after today, we'll see an increase in this number and in turn, you get more moisture back in the atmosphere. no rain, just a little moisture. it's dry. you're going from a whole southeast, mid levels of the atmosphere so we're going to have another one of those just stunningly beautiful days, that wall to wall sunshine which we had yesterday happening again today and dominating weather, really for the next several days, going right through thanksgiving, going right into friday as well. now, later in the weekend, we may, as this front comes sliding through, catch just a few degrees colder weather as we go late in the weekend into the beginning of next week. but that's really the only change that we have in our seven-day forecast. it's going to be relatively quiet and i know what you were thinking.

have been thanksgiving with the cooler air. now, it's going to warm back up ad i think many of us touch 80 for thanksgiving afternoon. today, 75 degrees. sunshine, pleasant sunrise at 6:56. clear skies tonight, not as cold. i think there will be a big difference tonight versus this morning in the temperatures. we're still a few degrees cooler this morning. bigger difference tomorrow morning and tomorrow afternoon with sunshine, we'll squeeze it back up to around 78 boaters, light chop for you on our coastal waters with that northeast wind around 10 knots and a high tide at 8:17. next seven days, there's two days of 80-degree temperatures, thursday and friday. then we cool down a little bit sunday and monday, back to the mid 70s. vanessa? >>vanessa: looks good, dave. thank you. 6:18 and we want to touch on something that's now brewing in the sarasota county area to be more specific, north port. a new crash that's reported

socialize more this time of year. if any of those people have the flu that you're hugging and kissing and socializing with, there's a good possibility you could catch it. the answer is simple how to tip the odds in your favor, not to get the flu and that's to get a shot. experts are saying this is a really good time of year to get a flu shot because it's just the beginning of the flu season so it hasn't kicked into high gear yet. last year the height of the flu season was in early january. to go on and on forever. starts now and can go to march and sometimes all the way to may. the cdc recommends that everyone over six months of age get a flu shot, especially people in high risk groups such as pregnant women, the elderly and anyone with a chronic condition. they say it's better to get a shot than use a nasal spray that was popular at one point. the nasal expressway is not as effective as the flu shot itself. even if you get the flu shot,

they're talking between 40% and 60% effectiveness. if you get it, you're certainly tips the odds in your favor but that doesn't mean you're not going to get it. if you do get it, you know it's miserable to go through and it could be very dangerous. get this. up to 49,000 people in one year died from getting the flu. it's about $25, a little time out of your schedule but it is certainly worth making that effort, at least to avoid the that you all know about and certainly to prevent something like hospitalization or even worse than that. go do it now. >>laura: thank you. >>reporter: from dr. ken. see ya. >>russell: see you later. 6:35 right now. more than 2 1/2 million floridians expected to travel over 50 miles this week for thanksgiving. that's a 5% increase from last year. aaa urging drivers to get their

in a while, snuggling. that's the scene. it's beautiful this morning. it's gorgeous this morning. it's cold again this morning. we have temperatures really for the most part in the 40s. we have some 30s, scattered 30s around there and one or two temps in the 30s but again, that's few and far between so even pinellas park, once you get away from the immediate water and parts of probably south tampa, maybe close to 50 because you're next there. 46 palm harbor, 44 in west chase, 42 in new tampa. i got mid 30s in brooksville, inverness, freezing for the second morning in a row and crystal river, mid to upper 40s, bradenton, sarasota and venice, wow. upper 30s in bartow. low to mid 40s from lakeland to haines city. cold stuff. dew points are big time low again. over the course of the next

to go up. they're going to get back in the 50s and modified. once that happens, overnight lows are going to go up. so this is hopefully the last morning for the really chilly air and tomorrow will be somewhat chilly. how does that sound? that makes me hungry. i keep saying chilly. drier air not only at the surface but aloft. gorgeous sunrise, still 10, 15 minutes away from that but it will be pretty and we have the quick cooldown morning which will rebound immediately right back up, i think in the mid 70s for high temperatures for today. we're not going to change things much. going through thanksgiving, blue black friday, once we get into saturday, there's a front coming into the area. it's not a big front but it will cool us down for sunday into monday. now, there are some hints that next week, middle of next week, we may see some decent rain.

southeast. i'm crossing my fingers for that. i don't think people realize that even though november is dry, we still only had .01 inch of rain. we'll get through the holiday weekend good and maybe next week bring in some rain. i know it's eight or nine days out but again, just trying to think ahead. 75 for the high temperature today. sunrise at 6:57. tonight clear skies, not as cold. now, tampa may be at 59 but i'll the upper 40s and then mostly sunny and seasonable tomorrow with a high temperature around 78 degrees. boaters, northeast winds 10 knots, seas two feet, light chop, can't complain about that. next seven days, temperatures on the map for thursday and friday and then 77 for saturday and mid 70s for sunday and monday. vanessa? >>vanessa: let's check the roads. 6:43. in case you missed it from previous hours, we're watching
