<P>RAIN AND WIND MOVING IN
<P>We are tracking a line of heavy downpours and gusty winds this afternoon and evening. The lack of significant lightning with the weather coming in from the west would tend to indicate that our chance for severe weather is relatively low; however, some of the downpours will be accompanied by wind gusts over 45 mph and there is a chance for brief, but weak, tornadoes early on. The tornado watch issued for the area is mainly a precaution because a water spout did touch down in Tampa at 11:43 this morning. The event caused some damage around the Westin Hotel near downtown Tampa. 
<P>Looking ahead to the forecast tonight, we will continue to track the rain moving east at 20 - 25 mph. Inland counties can expect the rain shortly after sunset. Temperatures tonight will drop back into the 60's and it will still be windy through the night. 
<P>Tomorrow, the weather system will stall out over south Florida and keep our skies mostly cloudy. We will have more showers developing on Wednesday with a high in the mid 70's. Over the next few days our weather looks to be a bit unsettled as winds blow off the Gulf of Mexico and keep variable clouds overhead. By the weekend it looks like our weather will have cooled enough to keep high temperatures in the 60's and overnight lows back into the 40's for a few mornings. The trend will be for cool weather to last into next week.

<P>. THEN SUBMITTING HIS DNA PROFILE TO A NATIONAL DATABASE. IT FOUND A MATCH.

<P>EVERY STATE NOW GATHERS DNA FROM ANYONE CONVICTED OF SERIOUS CRIMES.
<P>HALF THE STATES -- INCLUDING FLORIDA  DO IT WITH PEOPLE ARRESTED, TOO.

<P>THE MOTHER OF KATIE SEPICH -- A COLLEGE STUDENT RAPED AND MURDERED IN 2003 -- SAYS HER DAUGHTER'S KILLER.
<P>. COULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT SOONER IF POLICE HAD PUT HIS DNA ON FILE WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED FOR AN EARLIER CRIME:
<P>"We needed justice, and we needed to know what happened. And we had to wait an additional three years for that.":06
<P>SOME JUSTICES TODAY SEEMED TO SIDE WITH POLICE.
<P>JUSTICE ALITO SAID DNA TAKEN FROM SOMEONE ARRESTED IS MERELY THE FINGERPRINT OF THE 21ST CENTURY. 
<P>JUSTICE BREYER SAID DNA IS MORE ACCURATE, AND IT'S LESS INTRUSIVE TO SWAB A CHEEK - THAN TO ROLL ALL TEN FINGERS FOR A SET OF PRINTS.
<P>BUT OTHERS, INCLUDING CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS ASKED, WHAT ARE THE LIMITS? COULD YOU GET DNA FROM ANYBODY PULLED OVER FOR A TRAFFIC STOP?
<P>AND JUSTICE KAGAN ASKED, IF POLICE CAN USE DNA TO CHECK FOR PAST CRIMES, CAN THE STATE GO SEARCH YOUR HOUSE, TOO?
