It’s finally Friday, South Florida – and NBC 6 has the top six stories you need to know for the day.

Weather wise, a few passing morning showers will lead to a dry and humid afternoon with high temps in the mid-80s

No. 1 – Police are trying to figure out how two men died overnight in Miami Gardens. Police found the men outside a home near Northwest 23rd Avenue and 151st Street after they got reports that two men stole a dirt bike in Opa-locka and then crashed. Officers tell us that the owner of the dirt bike was chasing the suspects to get his bike back.

No. 2 – The vote margins are so thin in the race for Florida’s Senate seat that an automatic recount has been initiated. Thursday night, Governor Rick Scott filed a lawsuit against Broward’s Supervisor of Elections Dr. Brenda Snipes alleging irregularities in her recount.

No. 3 – The race for Governor also qualifies for a recount as the difference between Republican Ron DeSantis and Democrat Andrew Gillum is less than 35,000 votes.

No. 4 – Massive fires are burning through California. One in the northern part of the state forced evacuations and injured several firefighters. In Southern California, the Woolsey fire has burned up to 30 acres in the San Fernando Valley and the 'hill fire' is spreading to about 10,000 acres.

No. 5 – The Symphony of the Seas cruise ship arrives at Port Miami. This is the world’s largest cruise ship and it sails in at 10 am.

No. 6 – The 2019 South Florida firefighter's calendar will be sure to heat things up on your office wall and all sales benefit the UM burn center and the Safe Haven for Newborns organization.
