heated. that straight ahead on a friday morning. it is shaping up to be nice for the weekend ahead. i'm jason guy. michelle: i'm michelle impeato. here's a quick look at orlando right now. amy sweezey has your friday forecast. amy: good morning. plenty of sunshine today. winds coming out of the southwest bringing in warm air and that means we are back in the 70's. it is cool this morning. we're in the 40's in most of the area, but that's a lot warmer than yesterday when we were waking up to a freeze and all that frost, 20's and 30's. much warmer today. we will climb to 70 by noon and keep going into the mid 70's in a lot of the area. look at the temperature difference. to the south, almost 20 degrees warmer to the west. 52 leesburg, 50 sanford, 46 daytona beach and melbourne.

42 a o.i.a. a breeze in a couple of spots out of the south and temperatures warmer in some places. today we'll get lots of sun. winds will start to kick up and we'll climb into the low to mid 70's for highs. 76 in orlando is warmer than our average. if you're looking ahead valentine's day on sunday, through this weekend. it's not going to make us we're not going to see any rain and it's not going to we'll be in the upper 60's. we'll talk more about your sunday and your saturday in a few minutes. jason: take a look at your screen. this is what some drivers can expect to run into this morning. michelle: a busy road shut down for construction and we've already seen some problems. take a look at this. jason: southbound lanes of 1792 at park avenue and winter park are closed this morning. michelle: alex is live in that area.

find another way to get to work. alex: you do not want to go through here unless you have to. but i can say that traffic has been moving smoothly so far. we're still not quite into the busiest hours of the morning yet. but you can see that a police officer is out here and he has been directing traffic. what has to happen here is if you're coming southbound on 1792, you have to make this soft left here on to park avenue. we talked to a police officer out here who tells us that the reason for this road work is that trucks had been hitting the railroad bridge here. we can see sun rail trains passing along this bridge and workers are now digging the road lower underneath to create a taller space there so those trucks do not hit the bridge anymore. fdot has to remove a concrete slab under the bridge to lower the road by nearly a foot. they tell us they are going to work as quickly and as hard as they can all the way through the weekend. this is going to be tough, though, on drivers as well

bridge here, like u-haul that's on the other side of the bridge. it's just going to be a lot more difficult for people to get there, to get to these businesses around here. the big problem here is that our crew saw last night that many people didn't know about the closure. >> it's going to be terrible. it's going to be a mess. >> i didn't know they were going to close it. >> sometimes it sets up this way. >> we're going to work as quickly as we can and as hard as we can all the way through the weekend. >> they're pledging to work as quickly as they can with this, but this is just the first weekend of the closure here. next friday the 19th to monday morning the 22nd. and you will see the detour signs when you come out here but stick with wesh for all of your traffic updates and your ways to get around this. jason: one of the ways to avoid that mess is kennedy boulevard. however, it's still closed this morning after that water main break

crews tell us they expect to reopen the roadway later today. an aging wawrtd main broke on tuesday close to another water main that broke seven months ago. the water has been turned back on but because it is still being tested people who live there are still under a boil water notice. ted: the closest alternate for 1792 southbound will be wyemore to the left. there will be a lot more traffic this morning because of folks going to the closest alternate. you can use i-4 westbound or 436. looking at the 408, eastbound on the right side. wrapped up more the morning drive. alternate on i-4 westbound around ivan hoe. this is eastbound on the right.

not bad. we started between the turnpike and john young. the sensors are showing things are looking good. minutes. jason: we are following breaking news this morning. railroaded for murder. he is a 22-year-old charged with first degree murder home invasion. these charges are from a murder on lighthouse circle august. devan littles was shot to death. investigators say he returned to the same house and committed a home invasion just a few days later. for now robinson is being held without bond. michelle: this morning we are waiting to learn when a man will be extradited back to polk county to face what deputies charges. the allegations against bales are disturbing.

told one of the girls that he would post her address on-line and tell people to come and rape her if she didn't send him nude photos and videos. one of the girl's fathers called the sherrif's office last week and said someone was harassing his daughter. that person turned out to be bales who was talking to the man's 11-year-old daughter on the social media app kick under the screen name dot daddy. >> these chat apps are things we've been warning parents about for years. they're apps where people can remain anonymous like this guy did. your child's information is out there enough where they can get the face and name of your child and find out even more about your child, where they live, where they go to school and they can use that information to hurt your child. >> detectives say bales also threatened to burn down the girl's house or hurt her if she didn't give him names and addresses of other girls. bales is from cape corral. he was arrested there after police raided his home. no word on when he will be

but even with a little breeze, south, southwest is bringing in warm air. plenty of sun. 58 by 9:00. 70 at noon. mid 70's for highs later today. we'll talk more about the weekend forecast and what's in store for valentine's day in a few minutes. ted: 6:11. remember that 1792 southbound blocked off between park and monroe. wyemore road closest alternate to the west and 436 backup plans as well. chopper up right now. heading into i-4, a report of a crash. this is i-4 near ivanhoe. jason: a new effort to unravel what was tragic at seas. michelle: crews will be heading out to the wreckage of the el faro. what they're looking for

it's a key piece to getting the information to understand this puzzle of why that ship would sail right into the hurricane. >> crew members' families settled for more than $500,000 each with the parent company of the el faro. an official search date in april so far has not been set. we are expected to hear more from the u.s. coast guard's investigation of that ship in public hearings. that begins on february 16. michelle: a few more cases of the zika virus diagnosed in florida. those cases were reported in miami and the fort myers area yesterday. this is a map of all of the counties where cases of zika are confirmed. osceola county is the only place in central florida. the total number of cases here is 18. each one travel related.

split on traveling amidst zika concerns. >> it can happen to anyone. i still plan on going. >> wear the right type of clothing. >> earlier this week soccer star hope solo and other olympians said they were considering skipping out to stay healthy and now a number of athletes are speaking out saying they're definitely going. >> it is something to be aware of and to research. but i do think that it's not going to affect most of the athletes. michelle: the good news is when the rio games begin it will actually be winter in brazil and there should be fewer mosquitoes. >> yesterday you probably saw people out and about. once the sunshine hit warmth came on and it was great. it's going to be better today. amy: we were in the upper 60's for most of us so not quite back to normal but so much better, warmer than the days before when we were only in the 350's. -- in the 50's. if your kids are headed to

nearly as cold as it has been. 40's and lower 50's so the kids may still want jackets and sweat shirts at the bus stop. they shouldn't need them too long because we will rise quickly. sunrise in about an hour. not as cold. since midnight we dropped to the low to mid 40's in most spots, cooler than our average. yesterday we dropped into the upper 20's and we had not only freezing temperatures, we had widespread frost as well. you can see the numbers. most of us 40's, lower 50's. the reason we've got all these differences is mainly because of the wind. we've got these south-southwest winds coming in so that helps bring in just enough warmer air to bring temperatures up in a few places. but we also have some fog. it's mainly to the south and mainly across polk county and toward tampa. if you are driving this morning, maybe leaving from orlando driving over along i-4 toward the tampa area, keep in mind there is some low

all the way through the rest of sunrise. during the day today that ridge of high pressure will bring our winds out of the southwest and between the southwest winds and all the sunshine, those 70's will come back in a bigger way. we will top out at 74 in ocala and the villages, 74 in eustis and p 75 in clermont. this is a degree or two warmer than our average highs. after several days being much cooler than average, this is going to feel warm. 76 in saint cloud and also kissimmee. lower 70's along the coast. a little cooler to the north. a little warmer to the south. we'll climb to 74 in palm bay. the osceola county fair gets underway today. gates open at noon. we'll have plenty of sunshine if you're headed out there this afternoon, make sure you've got your sunglasses. after sunset we'll drop but it won't be as fast of a temperature drop tonight as the last several nights. if you don't have a big, heavy jacket you'll be okay.

plunge going on at sea world for special olympics. if you're headed there, should be a nice morning. there will be a few clouds early in the day as there is a cold front coming through early on saturday but we'll clear out the clouds, get more sunshine through the afternoon tomorrow and then we may see a couple of clouds again on sunday. notice our temperatures. we're warm today, around 70 tomorrow behind that front and then only in the upper 60's for highs for valentine's day on sunday, again, because of that cooler air that will be coming in. 6:21. ted: the chopper was up and spot add crash on i-4 westbound at 535. westbound on the right side of the screen. emergency vehicles on the shoulders, no huge impact on the roadway. we'll keep a close eye on that. something else, 1792 southbound is closed for a small portion at the maitland winter park

it's been causing traffic headaches between the area of park avenue and monroe. best alternate would be wyemore road, i-4 westbound or state road 436. i-4 into downtown orlando not bad. big stretch from the turnpike to colonial only 8 minutes i-4 eastbound . jason: coming up on sunrise, hit while helping. michelle: shocking video captures a car slamming

>> take a look at your screen. breaking news happening right now. this is out of new jersey. look at this fire. this is a half million square foot warehouse burning since last night. this fire is still not under control and it's causing big traffic problems in that area. this is in hillsborough. neighbors say they heard loud explosions and even felt the ground rattle. cabinetmakers and chemical operation work inside of this building. no injuries reported so far. we'll try to stay on top of the story and figure out what exactly happened here.

after these unwarranted guests were caught on camera. it's friday morning. i'm jason guy. michelle: i'm michelle impeato. this is downtown orlando. look at the sky. you don't see any clouds out there. amy, we have clear skies and temperatures going up? amy: they are. we're only about a half-hour way from sunrise. once we start getting that climb and also our winds are going to kick up today. coming out of the us much warmer. we will make it into the area. after a really cool week and temperatures well below average, this is a nice change. 40's and 50's this morning, that is a whole lot warmer than where we are yesterday when we had frost and freeze and temperatures in the 20's and 30's. all is quiet, we are clear. however, notice to the south especially across polk county through i-4, this is some fog. so we are going to be dealing with reduced visibility if you're

tampa or the gulf coast until about 9:00, we will have patches of thicker fog in those areas. look at our numbers today. once we get that sunshine we'll make it to 74 in belleview and leesburg, 75 in apopka. 76 in maitland. up and down the coast we'll be in the lower 70's. we'll talk more about the weekend and your valentine's day forecast in a few minutes. jason: heading to work right now may be a hassle for some drivers. michelle: that's because part of 1792 is shut down for construction. the southbound lanes are closed between maitland and winter park. alex is live there this morning. drivers may want to plan a different route this morning. alex: you might want to. you probably don't want to come through here. so far we've seen traffic moving okay through this left turn here on to park avenue. that is what drivers are being forced to do.

through on 1792. all the lanes here are blocked southbound under this railroad bridge. we are seeing a police officer out here who's been directing traffic, but we have started to see those backups creeping in. here's the big problem. our crews were out here last night. a lot of people didn't even know about this closure. take a listen to this. [horn honking] >> that is never something you want to hear. and we're hoping it's not going to be the same case this morning. but again, we are just getting to the start of rush hour here. we did talk to a police officer who tells us the reason for the road work is that trucks, tractor-trailers have been hitting that railroad bridge, so workers are digging the road lower underneath to create a taller space. it has to remove a concrete slab under the bridge and bad soil to lower the road by nearly a food.

they're going to work as quickly as they can through the weekend but this is going to be tough on businesses as well as drivers. we have uhaul on the other side and it will be a lot harder for people to get to these places. this is the first weekend of this. it is going to close again here on 1792 southbound friday the 19th until monday morning the 22nd. you will see detour signs but if you want an overall picture of how you can get around this, here is ted mcinerney. ted: you have backup plans. as you heard, that is a traffic headache with the closure. perhaps consider going west to wyemore road and using that southbound. keep in mind that wyemore road is a bit smaller than 1792 so there could be more traffic there. you could use i-4 westbound which now is looking pretty good. the flow is moving along. or 436 as your backup plan. we'll talk about a

the crash on i-4 is westbound at 535. it is not blocking the roadway but there is emergency crews on the eastbound side as well. no delays now. we'll keep a close eye on that. westbound on the right side on the 408 tracking driving conditions into downtown orlando not busy yet. jason: we are following breaking news out of flagler county this morpg. at least one person is dead after a crash in a construction zone overnight. this happened on palm harbour parkway in palm coast before midnight. we know it involved a dump truck. that driver was stopped about a mile up the road. we heard reports the victims were on bicycles. we are still working to find out exactly how many people are involved in all this. we'll bring that to you just as soon as we have it. jason: 6:35. we've got new details to tell you about in a deadly motorcycle crash. we're learning what led up to it in osceola county.
