audience go ahead and punch someone in the face, i'll pay your legal bills. that is not excusable. that is wrong if our kids did it. it's disastrous if a president does it. >> rubio also says he's the only person who can beat trump in florida, to keep him from "hijacking the republican party." ohio governor john kasich is getting some high profile help in his home state. 2012 presidential nominee mitt romney will campaign with kasich today as kasich looks to prevent trump from winning there. polls indicate a tight race between kasich and trump in ohio where all 66 delegates will go to the winner of its primary tomorrow. on the democratic side hillary clinton is getting a big boost of her own in florida. hoping it will help her win our state's 246 delegates tomorrow. her husband, former president bill clinton is going to make stops in tallahassee, jacksonville and winter park while hillary and bernie sanders both stump in chicago. meanwhile they both came together last night for cnn's latest town hall where talk of

leftover pockets of light to moderate showers that continue to move from southwest to northeast. this will rapidly move so it's good. when you see pox of heavier rain and they will continue to diminish as they head further inland through the next several hours. not much really is going to come of this. i think by the time we get into the early afternoon we're going to dry out. it's not going to certainly expand. looking much better as temperatures despite the cloud cover by the way into the low 80s. even have mid-80s across inland sections. still muggy so heat indices into the upper 80s. we'll talk about whether we can next forecast. new this morning, we're waiting on an autopsy to find out exactly what caused a polk hospital. just hours after he was arrested. this happened early sunday deputies say they responded to a call at the florida orange fighting. then they say they found one of them that was very drunk. deputies arrested both of those

>> reporter: a potential new weapon in the fight against zika virus. the fda researching an experiment using mosquitos to help stop its spread. scientists would release genetically modified male mosquitos into the wild carrying a deadly gene. that gene would make their offspring die before they are old enough to bite people. in brazil hardest hit by zika scientists are already using these mosquitos. our dr. richard besser saw them firsthand during a trip in february >> this building here, produces two million male mosquitos genetically modified every week. >> reporter: this comes as the centers for disease control warns zika could spread in the united states, mostly in the gulf, florida and texas, by june. zika is linked to birth defects and brain development putting pregnant women especially at risk. while the experiment in brazil has proven successful it doesn't sit well with some living in the florida keys where the insects would be

afternoon. a gusty southwest wind will take over. that will be with us through tonight with mostly cloudy skies. then by wednesday morning i think we'll have more issue with fog as winds become light. for now, enjoy the temperatures, still muggy. 70s along the coast but low and then mid-80s as you get further from the coast with temperatures, with heat inkissies in the mid and upper 80s as we went into yesterday. certainly the most humid weather we've had in some time. tides coming up in the next 12 hours and of course the new sunrise and sunset times as ween if with the dark skies early on. as we continue with the dark skies early on. wednesday, thursday looks good for st. patrick's day. and we'll follow the next front that may stall over us. that's not good, it just means rain may linger into sunday as well. we'll fine tune the timing and keep you posted. temperatures for the weekend a little cooler in the 70s.

coming up -- scott kelly is back from his year in space but the research into how it impacted his body is far from over. when we come back, i'll talk with a scientist to get his take on what we can gain from

it's been nearly two weeks since astronaut scott kelly returned to earth. kelly's mission was to learn how longterm space flight affects the human body. joining me is the director of the space programs and st. pete college professor antonio paris, thank you so much for being here >> thank you for inviting me. >> you've seen the effects, the data on scott kelly. also written extensively about the effects of space on the body. once you looked at the data is what is your observation? >> he's adapting back to earth's gravity fairly well but

it will take four to six months. when astronauts go into space the body basically has to readjust to microgravity. we're not using our muscles, different. head. to atrophyy. functioning. more importantly you're not standing straight up. this is why he actually grew two inches. a year in space is the -- the body has a major toll but what about a two or three-year mission to bhars? it's going to be quite difficult for to us get out of the spacecraft and walk around the martian surface. >> you mentioned earlier that scott kelly lost 30% of his vision? >> data shows up to 20% to 30% of the vision was degraded and that is because all the body fluids kinds of come up towards your chest, towards your face. this is called the big head chicken leg syndrome. pressure has nowhere to go. it's basically pushing behind

almost squeezing the eyeballs. it's painful. the apollo astronauts on the lunar surface complained of painful eye cataracts, and those were the result of radiation. >> is this reversible? >> it's not reversible. as far as the eye vision. the loss is irreversible but with today's technology and advancements in science, his improve. >> the big takeaway here, what mission. what is the main benefit? >> the main benefit, can the human body survive not only in space but in deep space. in low earth orbit where kelly was and the space station is, they have a good benefit, the area products them. but mars or lunar surface, you lose that magnetob sphere if there's rays from the sun or gamma ray bursts, kit cause

cancer or damage to the spacecraft. we don't have that luxury once we leave earth's orbits. we've learned a lot from kelly and the additional astronauts. >> he says he would go again. you too? >> there's a program, to send astronauts to low earth orbit and study the mesosphere in a couple years. >> thank you, antonio paris.
