the pastor says it was an emotional day at the school. students not only wore purple, but they also made little stickers with a purple ribbon and jesse's face on them. there were lots of hugs, tears and prayers and everyone came together to remember their classmate and friend.

today was about remembering 11 year-old jesse watlington at his school, southwest florida christian academy. his classmates wore purple- the 6th grader's favorite color- to honor him. jesse's family is now back in town after the trip home from the tampa hospital where their son died yesterday after being taken off life-support. his body had suffered too much damage from wednesday's lightning strike. the bolt hit jesse in the heart while he was running out on the football field with his friends for practice, and doctors told his parents he had no brain activity.

jesse's family is still asking for prayers, while they work to plan hismemorial service.

DRY WEATHER TO COME

Remember the cold front I talked about all weekend? Well it's still holding steady to our north, and it's pushing a long fetch moisture into southwest Florida.

It's moving southbound, and eventually it'll fade away which means dry weather will come! Briefly. Don't get your hopes up. Of course there's a price you pay when the rain leaves, too, the temperatures will warm up.

Tomorrow, is when the front begins to fade away. That's when the changes occur because drier air from our north will begin spilling down, but you won't truly notice it until Wednesday forward.

The dry air will bring three things to us:

1. Sunny skies

2. Rain free weather

3. Hotter temperatures

Thankfully the humidity levels will be lower so it won't feel as oppressive outside! Highs will range up 3 to 5 degrees above the norm.

On the flip side dry air likes to cool down during the overnight hours, so we'll see overnight temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s.

This will last until Saturday. Clouds begin to increase that day and we will see just isolated storms. Those storms will become more scattered on Sunday.

Tropical weather? Eh, there's some. The National Hurricane Center continues to investigate and area of low pressure pushing over the Bahamas. They're giving it a 10% of developing into something over the next 48 hours.

THAT'S THE VOICE OF 15-YEAR-OLD MAX SCHULTZ, A GUEST AT THE SHERATON SOCIETY HILL HOTEL.

HE WITNESSED THE WILD BRAWL AND RECORDED IT ON HIS CELL PHONE.

"They just started punching each other and hitting each other."

BY THE TIME PHILADELPHIA POLICE ARRIVED, THEY SAID 75 TO 100 PEOPLE WERE FIGHTING.

".the police came in and just started clubbing people."

OFFICERS SAY THEY WERE OUTNUMBERED AND CALLED FOR BACKUP TWICE.

INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE THE MELEE ORIGINALLY STARTED AMONG MEMBERS OF ONE WEDDING PARTY.

BUT THEN SOMEONE REPORTEDLY FROM THE SECOND WEDDING PARTY WAS HIT WITH SOMETHING.

AND THE SITUATION WENT DOWNHILL FROM THERE.

"Did they just deck the bride?"

AT ONE POINT, A BRIDE IS SEEN FALLING TO THE GROUND.

MEN HAVE TO FIND CLOTHES TOO.

BECAUSE OF HER SMALL FRAME DOROTHY HAS THE HARDEST TIME FINDING CLOTHES.

"I've been walking around this mall for two hours trying to find pants for work."

NOT ANYMORE.

"Just go right to them and get what I need."
