this morning. >>laura: we're learning more about his past. rahami is charged with planting a series of explosives in new york and new jersey including one that injured more than two dozen people. a federal criminal complaint shows the f.b.i. looked into him in 2014 but came up with nothing. his father had expressed concerns his son may be a terrorist but during questioning, he said that he meant his son was hanging with >> what's going on? we don't know yet. >> now he say he's a terrorist. >>laura: rahami was never personally questioned because he was in jail accused of hitting his mother and stabbing a brother. grand jury let him walk. federal agents have tried talking to him in the hospital but they say he's not cooperating. meantime, officials are examining his computer and phone records to see if he had any
6:05 am
at this point, it appears that he acted alone. >>russell: he was carrying a handwritten notebook when he was captured and authorities say it is filled with extremist ramblings and references to terror leaders. there is a bright spot. both police officers who were wounded in the shootout with rahami have been released from the hospital. a shrapnel grazed one officer's head. he was released yesterday. officer padilla was shot in the tors sxoe a bulletproof vest quite likely saved his life. >>laura: members of congress were pushing to suspend refugee programs for syria and the middle east. >>russell: now funding could come down to a fight over national security. yesterday morning we told you about a new report showing how the department of homeland security mistakenly granted citizenship to more than 800 emigrants who were supposed to be deported, many coming from dangerous parts of the world.
6:06 am
suspend the refugee program to find a resolution to fund the government past september 30. >> we've already seen this, you know, with orlando, san bernardino, chattanooga and the attacks just in the last couple of days. this is our future. when the administration seems to be communicating to the american people that we'd better get used to this, i don't think so. >>russell: this debate comes as president obama address united nations general assembly for the eighth and final time as president. he's already committed to accepting 10,000 syrian refugees by the end of the month. the president did not mention the recent domestic terror attacks or a failed truce in syria. instead he focused on the threat posed by groups like isis. >> if we were to turn refugees away simply because of their background or religion or because they are muslim, then we would be reinforcing terrorist
6:07 am
own are somehow opposed to islam. >>russell: the chances of suspending the refugee program are slim because there's so much riding on the government spending bill, including money to fund the bill to fight zika. that needs to happen to avoid a government shutdown. >>laura: a pasco county father is accused of ramming his car into a volunteer in a school dropoff line. fox 13 us. we know car lines can be frustrating but this is ridiculous. they say he did this with intent. >>reporter: yeah. this particular parent took matters into their own hands and landed a picture you won't find in the year book. this is 34-year-old lawrence dean franklin. he's accused of not only breaking rules but breaking the law. you're looking at his mug shot.
6:08 am
in the parent dropoff loop. deputies say franklin refused to switch lanes and could have put people walking in danger. a volunteer stood in front of the car to intervene but listen to what happened next. authorities tell us franklin intentionally took his foot off the brakes. the car struck the 79-year-old man, injuring him. deputies arrested franklin for using his car to hurt someone over the age of 65. he's behind bars in the land o lakes jail and he has a bond at $50,000. as for the volunteer, the volunteer is expected to be okay. of course, we'll continue to follow this story and we'll keep you posted if we learn anything further. back to you. >>laura: we know you will. thank you. top officials at mosaic are apologizing for how they handled a massive radioactive spill at their plant in mulberry. >> we realize that we could have done a better job and providing more timely notification to our neighbors and the broader community. i deeply regret and apologize

6:15 am
i do see one near dunedin and it's falling apart and that's going to be the theme as a lot of this activity works closer to the coastline this morning. yesterday was interesting because we had a little extra umph in the atmosphere this morning and held some showers together. we don't have quite the umph today. you might get one or two hit the coast. they'll start to fall apart. the thing is, over the course of the next two or three days, drier air sits on top of chances. i know. the thing is, when you do that and it's still summertime for us, that means you're almost guaranteed to get back up to the 90-degree mark in the afternoons so crystal river, you're at 72. brooksville, wesley chapel, lakeland, bartow, all these areas nice. they're in the mid 70s. tampa international is 79. clearwater and st. petersburg, still at 80 degrees this morning. it's tough. when you have a water
6:16 am
then you get an onshore wind, good luck trying to cool that off. i think it's going to take a strong cold front to knock down the water temperatures and we don't see that in the foreseeable future. like seven to 10 days. i have 70s around the state. lower 80s to the keys. obviously the juicy dew points so even though we have a lot of surface moisture, we don't have a lot of mid level we're splitting the state in half this morning. to the south, a lot more moisture in the mid levels of the atmosphere. to the north it's drier. rain chances are going to be best further south and then to the north, we're just going to keep chipping away at them. yesterday we had a 40% rain chance. today will be a 30% rain chance. toorrow will be a 20% rain chance and so on and so on. so hot with a few isolated
6:17 am
inland. 90 degrees for a high temperature. even though we had the rain at about 10:30 yesterday morning, we still managed to make it up to 90 degrees yesterday so we'll do it again today. warm and muggy tonight with a low near 77. 90 tomorrow. tone's rain chance will drop even further as we're bringing it back to around 20%. other than an isolated shower, i got to tell you, it looks like the boating does look fantastic. tomorrow at 10:21, we'll usher we'll stay around 90 for the first half of the weekend and then rain chances will go up to 40%, probably not until next monday. >>vanessa: are the leaves going to fall just like that in that graphic? >>dave: not here. >>vanessa: all right. it's 6:17 and good news is we are crash-free right now on the major roadways and so with that, we'll give a check of the speeds and the conditions out there. this is a live look.
6:18 am

6:34 am
every night at 9:00, they tweet out a picture and post a picture on their facebook and it serves as a reminder to everyone living in the county and everyone living around the bay area to lock your car door, also lock your house and this social media blitz seems to be working as well because they have more than 100 retweets last night. folks are taking pictures of their locked doors and the word is getting out. auto break-ins are a problem for many parts of the bay area and pasco county, break-ins are focused around the u.s. 19 also happened in trinity, land o lakes as well as wesley chapel. most of the suspects are juvenile, coming from other counties. the pasco county sheriff's office do what's called an enhanced neighborhood check. deputy goes door to door and put up electric signs with a message, "lock your doors and keep what's yours." the sheriff says they've reduced the number of car break-ins by 90%. they could reduce the number of
6:35 am
would simply lock their doors. so coming up a little later on "good day tampa bay," we'll go inside the sheriff's office, we'll speak with top brass about the new campaign, what they want to achieve and the reaction they're receiving from the general public. >>russell: thank you. federal government issues the first rules for self driving cars. tampa launches phase two of a project to bring connected vehicles to real city streets. this morning, walter takes a technology. >>walter: good morning. tampa is one of three sites in the united states authorized to test fully connected vehicles. the leroy selmon expressway serves as a test bed for cars designed to reduce the risk of crashes in the traffic flow and trig the carbon footprint. this week the expressway authority is launching phase two of the connected vehicle pilot program. 40 wireless communication
6:36 am
and other roadways. the devices will communicate with hart buses, trolley cars and more than 1,500 other connected vehicles. the data they collect will help study traffic patterns, reduce problems like wrong-way drivers and as part of phase two, the authority also plans to recruit drivers to participate in the program. that will happen sometime next fall. faced with a growing fleet of self driving cars, federal government issued it's been the wild west when it comes to cars. google acknowledges that one of the self driving cars caused an accident near san francisco. they swerved to avoid some road debris. there's only minor damage but that proves a point this technology is still in the driver's ed phase. >> as more and more people are using devices and getting used to them, i think they see a progression in giving control to the vehicle.
6:37 am
for self driving cars. the government also wants companies to share an extensive amount of information with regulators, not just crash reports, but also details on cyber security. 94% of road fatalities are the result of human error. some driverless cars, in theory, could reduce the number of deadly crashes dramatically. white house promised to set aside $4 billion from the budget for the development of autonomous driving technology over the next >>laura: still so much more comfortable with tentative. do you know what i mean? 10 and two. cuba will not allow flight crews to stay overnight. only two airlines are making regular commercial flights to cuba. american airline and jet blue. cuban government says anyone born in cuba cannot reenter the country without a passport so the airlines were forced to comply. human passports cost $500 and

6:41 am
>>dave: we are beginning to see a glimpse of the sunrise this morning. while we have cloud cover, you do see clear skies as you go further inland. it's actually a pretty nice start to the day. our temperatures are within a
6:42 am
yesterday. notice how some showers start to work onshore and they fall apart immediately. remember yesterday when they didn't fall part immediately? yesterday we had extra energy in the atmosphere that allowed the storms to keep going. today we don't have that so you're going to get your typical bump up against the coastline, fall apart showers very early this morning. that plus we have some drier air beginning to settle into the mid levels of the atmosphere and lower the rain chances in general. not what you want to hear because by the way, we are well below normal for rainfall during the month of september and any time you lower the rain chances, you've got to bring the heat up. we're at 75 in brooksville now. mid 70s in polk county from lakeland to frost proof. 80s still in st. petersburg, sarasota at 77. obviously the dew points are sky
6:43 am
and radar just kind of showing us it's a very similar setup. you have a weak high pressure, you have a few isolated showers. maybe a few more this afternoon inland but in general, the next few days because of this, this red, this drier air coming in aloft, you'll hold back the rain chances a little bit. i mean, this is a case where citrus county rain chances are going to be lower than highlands county just because obviously there's more moisture in the mid levels of the i want to take you quickly to the tropics, too, because we have a tropical depression karl. then you have a very strong, tropical storm and this being lisa. the thing is, both of these storms are going to turn north and eventually out to sea. neither are going to impact any land masses. that's the way we like it so that's good. 90 degrees for a high temperature today. hot with a 30% rain chance.
6:44 am
tomorrow we're back at it again. more heat with your high temperature near 90 degrees. looking through the next seven days, keep the rain chances down around 20%. that's it for thursday, friday, for saturday and gradually bring them back up to maybe 40% by early next week. good morning, vanessa. >>vanessa: looks like we do have some notable lane blockage right now and this is reported out of the frost proof area of polk county. this trucks and fortunately, no injuries. but we do have some northbound lane blockage reported along u.s. 27. this is near the intersection with george street so your work here is going to be scenic highway. we'll try to get you more updates as soon as we can. meantime, this is a live look 275. this is near the skyway bridge. this is actually a little closer to u.s. 19, manatee county side. reports of a disabled vehicle. f.h.p. not giving a direction
