no cloud cover, no rain, just the wind. by 7:00 tomorrow morning, it's similar to what we have now. we're going to stay clear through the entire night tonight. a very enjoyable overnight, too. temperatures, though, crash well on down into the 40's tonight. then tomorrow into saturday, nothing but clear skies ahead. let me show you some overnight lows that will have your attention. 38 in ocala. 39 in the villages. 40 in leesburg. 44 in sanford and 43 in daytona beach. my forecast tonight for orlando, clear, breezy and cool. the winds are going to calm down. they won't keep howling at 21 miles per hour. they're going to dial it down to a 5 to 10-mile-an-hour wind but 44 is the low. here's tomorrow. first thing tomorrow morning, we jump to 48 at 8 a.m. by noon, 61. the daytime high tomorrow, kind of where we were today. back to about 65 degrees. it's going to take some time for us to warm up out of this stuff, too. the daytime high tomorrow is 65. that about does it, 66.

international drive. >> matt: today we're invading the state attorney's office. they have called a special meeting just for us so we could award this week's getting results award winner. not because of his job here, but because he saved a life outside of this building. >> in my eyes and in the eyes of my kids, the man was a superhero. >> matt: i'll have the story coming up at 6:00. >> ginger: cannot wait. but first, the pattern and

>> lisa: tonight more than 100,000 homes across the east coast and d.c. are in the dark after another round of deadly tornadoes carved a path of destruction. 16 tornadoes were reported yesterday from florida to pennsylvania, leaving dozens of homes destroyed. >> ginger: central florida has dodged the brunt of those storms. >> julie: news 6's candace campos is in the newsroom and explains why we may not be out of the woods yet.

dodged another strong storm system. we have one new one in pensacola and two in southwest florida. >> we're seeing the storms and fronts coming more often, generating more severe weather. >> reporter: although the winter season is coming to an end, it does not mean we're out in the clear when it comes to strong storms driven by el nino. >> we're not quite at the peak yet, but we're in a good place to see the storms approach us. so we need to be ready and prepared. >> reporter: and by being prepared, you need to stay informed, which includes downloading our pinpoint weather app which alerts you anytime severe weather threatens in central florida. during this week, termed "severe weather awareness week" the annual tornado drill will be tomorrow at 10:10 in the morning. you can easily see we've dodged

florida. the red dots on the map indicate confirmed tornadoes from ef-0 to ef-3, most in the panhandle and across the southern half of the state. the big concern as we end winter and into spring. it's all about where the jet stream is positioned when it comes to severe weather. you'll see the jet stream going up north. the severe weather season is continuing for the next few months. >> ginger: coming up next, tech secrets revealed ahead of apple's big deadline with the f.b.i. that in minutes. >> julie: and how investigators

so-called heroin hotline, right? >> reporter: that's right. the u.s. attorney's office says they changed that number every few months and then texted the new number to their hundreds of customers, selling their drugs mostly to locals along i-drive. the suspects call themselves la compania and authorities say they pride like one. >> these people were very busy, two 12-hour shifts, 7 days a week. >> reporter: even firing people who did not show up to sell heroin. 12 people were part of the organization, operating out of a tattoo and barbershop on international drive. they sold the drugs in parking lots and hotels along the busy tourist district. >> we believe this was mid-level and it was being sold down and broken down further and sold further. >> reporter: setting up the sales using a heroin hotline,

number that changed frequently. >> when the heroin hotline number changed, the new number would be texted out to the customers. >> reporter: authorities say they sold one kilo gram of heroin a week. >> this is only a portion of it. but it was time for these people to go. >> reporter: authorities arrested 11 of the suspects. one is still on the run. they're all facing federal drug charges. >> lisa: amanda castro reporting live tonight. thank you. and changes in the case of a missing newborn named baby willow. orlando police tell news 6 they're now switching from a search operation to more of an investigation. detectives say the area around the apartments where the baby was born has been extensively

security and also privacy. >> ginger: that's right. and now with a new twist, "the new york times" reports today apple engineers are working on new security measures that will make it impossible for the government to break into a locked iphone. in his first interview since the judge's ruling, apple's c.e.o. tim cook told abc news yesterday the farook case isn't about the phone but the future. >> what is at stake here is can the government compel apple to write software that we believe would make hundreds of millions of customers vulnerable around the world, including the u.s. >> ginger: sources tell us cbs news apple plans to argue in part the american people, through congress, should decide on the issue. apple has until tomorrow to appeal the judge's ruling. despite protesting the judge's decision last week, the company has cooperated with the f.b.i. in the farook case by providing

icloud account. >> lisa: it's certainly very controversial and will continue to be. the health department actually owned the phone. you would think if the owner was on board and wanting the phone to be cracked open -- >> ginger: you would think if it's a company phone, the company would say, here, have at it, do what you will. >> lisa: the debate continues. right now, a double shooting investigation has police on alert in orlando. they tell news 6 one of the victims revealed this all stemmed from a gambling incident. we were there when officers began collecting evidence. the victims are expected to be okay. there's still no word on any suspects in this case. >> ginger: orange county deputies investigating after a couple was attacked and then carjacked at a gas station. >> julie: while they were pumping gas, the victim says someone pulled up in another car and started punching them. >> lisa: it happened at the circle day on bonneville drive north of state road 50 in orange county. deputies say the couple picked up a woman before going to the

they just picked up hopped in the driver's seat and took off. deputies say they're now trying to figure out the relationship between everyone involved and find both of the cars right now. as soon as we learn more, we'll let you know. >> ginger: tonight u.s. lawmakers are accusing takata of faking test results to cover up the exploding airbag issue. >> lisa: that is covering up the biggest recall in history. >> julie: the reports cites internal documents from takata in the past 12 years. this at the show company officials argue that data on inflator quality and testing was manipulated to hide the problems. national highway transportation safety administration says the defective airbags could explode sending metal fragments flying, which could cause serious injury or death. one document in the report shows an unidentified takata manager telling a worker proposed

2013 airbag recall might be, quote, "a violation of our moral obligation to protect the public." it now involves 14 manufacturers and millions upon millions of u.s. vehicles. national highway transportation safety administration calls it not only the largest but the most complex safety recall in u.s. history. >> lisa: deputies are spreading across two counties in their search for a missing boater. family members got worried when 76-year-old william rogle didn't return from a fishing trip yesterday, on the border of orange and lake counties. sky 6 flew over the area last night after deputies say they found his boat going in circles on the lake with no one on board. rescue crews searched the water by boat and by air, but so far have found no signs of him. we'll let you know as soon as we get any new information. >> ginger: question for you. do you remember your first job? >> julie: long before he was running the county, president

behind baskin robbins. >> ginger: the president posted about his first summer job on the social media business site linked-in and he announced a new program to help young people experience their first jobs. they're bringing together community leaders, non-profit and businesses to increase summer programs. >> lisa: what was your first job? >> ginger: i worked at burger king. how about you? >> julie: i was a santa's helper. we discussed this before. at the mall i took pictures. i was an elf. >> ginger: and lisa? >> lisa: i worked at kentucky fried chicken. i was responsible for buttering all the biscuits. >> julie: i've known you 10 years now and i've learned something new. >> ginger: we posted this story on facebook and asked, "what was

(music playing) i feel pretty (west side story)

by skilled decorators layered with fresh berries and frosted to perfection like our publix bakery chantilly cake it'll be remembered for all the right reasons. publix. where shopping

>> ginger: now to a news 6 investigation. the risky ride school bus drivers breaking traffic laws, even crashing.

trained, but violent crashes are still happening. >> julie: investigator mike deforest shows us how school districts are holding drivers accountable both on and off the job. >> reporter: a seminole county school bus driver runs a red light and side swipes a car. >> everybody all right? >> reporter: he was allowed to keep his job after some retraining. less than a year later, authorities say he ran the same red light again and collided with this power pole, causing sparks to fly. >> reporter: no one was seriously hurt. he quit shortly after the crash in 2012 and no longer drives school buses. but news 6 has learned other school bus drivers involved in crashes are still driving our children. in 2014, investigators say this orange county school bus pulled out of an apartment complex near windemere and into the path of

nine children were slightly hurt. >> the car went under the bus and everybody turned. everybody was screaming and worried. >> reporter: the bus driver received a ticket for failing to yield, but tonight she's still behind the wheel of a school bus after the school district issued her this written reprimand. she's been with the district for 25 years. i checked her driving history and it's fairly clean. not even a speeding ticket. that's both on and off the job. if a school bus driver gets a speeding ticket in their personal car or runs a red light like this one did, their bosses find out about it. every single week, the state sends local school districts these reports, showing employees' driving history. each district handles discipline differently. orange county uses a point system. speeding and improper backing earn drivers 3 points, causing a crash, 4 points, failing to stop at a railroad crossing, 6. depending on the point total

receive verbal and written reprimands, suspensions and even dismissal. we saw several incidents of bus drivers crashing their school buses and damage was minimal and in most cases, so was the punishment. since the drivers had few other traffic villages. >> lisa: it's frightening to see some of that video. mike deforest is here now. any word from the bus drivers involved in these? >> reporter: we reached out to the orange county driver, she didn't want to speak to us about the crash. we were not able to reach jack although he has declined to comment in the past. the drivers get a lot of training. in seminole county they must go through 80 hours of training. the school buses are quite expensive and the cargo board is priceless. it makes sense the school districts have a very vested interest in knowing exactly what the drivers are doing on and off the jobs. >> ginger: just so scary seeing the video inside when it actually happens. >> reporter: it's rare but it does happen.
