Weather wise, temperatures will reach the low 90s across South Florida as part of drier weather that looks to stick around through the weekend.
No. 1 - Police are looking for a man who they say shot and killed his girlfriend, a mother of three children, early Wednesday in Hollywood.
Carnell Spencer Lee Jr. is wanted for the murder of 31-year-old Coretta Bain, according to the Hollywood Police Department. Officers responded to an apartment complex located off Washington Street and South 56th Avenue around 4:30 a.m., where they discovered the woman's body.
No. 2 - A murder suspect who was mistakenly released from Broward County jail months ago has been caught in Georgia, officials said Wednesday.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office released 28-year-old Eric Vail on May 30 when a second-degree murder charge was dismissed even though he had been indicted by a grand jury earlier this year on a first-degree murder charge. The investigation led authorities to a mobile home in Jesup, Georgia.

No. 3 - A propane gas leak forced hundreds of residents in Coconut Grove to evacuate Wednesday.
City of Miami Fire Rescue officials said they responded to a building in the area of Bird Road and 27th Avenue around 8:30 a.m. after someone reported smelling gas. Fire officials removed the defective valve and deemed the area safe after 12 hours. Residents were allowed to go back to their homes.
No. 4 - President Donald Trump's company said Wednesday it has canceled a golf tournament with strippers serving as caddies that was to be held at Trump's golf resort in Doral.
The Washington Post reports the Trump Organization issued a statement saying the event would no longer take place because a children's charity that was to benefit from it had pulled out. The Shadow All Star Tournament was organized by a Hialeah strip club, Shadow Cabaret.
No. 5 - A potential tropical storm brewing in the Gulf of Mexico presents twin troubles for parts of southeast Louisiana — the possibility that a high Mississippi River will be lapping at the tops of levees this weekend, and a danger of flash floods like the one that unexpectedly walloped New Orleans on Wednesday.
The Gulf of Mexico disturbance that dumped as much as 8 inches of rain in parts of metro New Orleans in a three-hour span was forecast to strengthen into a tropical depression Thursday, a tropical storm called Barry Thursday night, and, possibly, a hurricane by Friday night.
No. 6 - Nail dipping is a manicure that's grown in popularity over the last couple years – but some health experts say it may be putting you at risk of an infection.
