we have the red-flag warning in effect until 7:00 tonight. low humidity, below 35%. the winds right now, sustained near 20 miles per hour in many spots. gusting at times higher than that, near 30 to 35 miles per hour. that's why the fire threat will be high. any fires that spark up will move very quickly because of the wind. look at the temperatures. we're still in the mid-60's. 64 in orlando. 62 in daytona beach. 63 in ocala. right now, 61 in cocoa beach. temperatures dropping quickly tonight. in fact, here's a look at the pinpoint accurate forecast. and notice as we take you through it hour by hour, we're at 55 degrees. at 9:00. 51 by 11:00. because of that breeze out of the north sticking around, at times it will feel more like the 40's and dropping into the 30's in our northern zones early in the morning tomorrow for the first full day of spring. can you believe it? we're up to 75 tomorrow, though, with not as windy conditions.

and look a lot better. tomorrow we start out with a little bit of cloud cover through the coast, through the afternoon, one or two clouds. but dry air in place as the high pressure continues to dominate, allowing temperatures to drop off a lot overnight tonight. where you live by 7:00 in the morning tomorrow, down to 38 in ocala. 44 in orlando. 44 in daytona beach. and 49 in melbourne. so a chilly morning, early tomorrow. tomorrow afternoon, though, turning out nice and sunny with dry air. the mid-70's in many spots, including 75 right here in orlando. as we take you through the rest of the week, rain chances do return at 20% thursday, 40% on friday. there's the weekend. wouldn't you know it, easter weekend, i need to move the easter to sunday. >> ginger: yeah, that bunny needs to hop right over there. >> it will be a little bit wet. the kids and parents are not happy about the 50% chance for rain. we'll watch the coverage closely. by friday, we'll see rain

there's actually two of them. there's one more spot i'm seeing on fire. that's to the north side. there's really no homes in the path of the fire. especially this one here. this is the bad part, right on the other side of these trees. this is a whole swampy area, so it will actually help the firefighters contain the fire. the two bulldozers did go around the flames and cut fire lines. hopefully that can actually stop it. >> ginger: it has to be a big sigh of relief for the families living in that community. thank you, dave. of course, we're updating the story by the minute here on air and on clickorlando.com, powered by news 6. we'll have more in just a minute. >> lisa: we're following more breaking news. a deadly shooting near a church basketball court in apopka. we're told this is happening close to the saint elizabeth church of god on 15th street. one person is found dead. as soon as we get new details,

years later want answers. >> it's agony. it's total torture. >> reporter: it's still total torture, though it's been a total four years after her daughter disappeared. the mother of three was last seen alive in 2011 after she and her ex-fiance, dale smith, appeared on an episode of people's court. he's the main suspect but never charged. parker's parents are suing him for negligence in their daughter's death. they want him to testify. >> i want to know where michelle is. >> reporter: but his attorney is trying to fight that today, saying giving a deposition wouldn't matter, because he's just going to take the 5th. >> reporter: the judge disagreed.

plans to have smith do so on camera. >> reporter: smith's attorney believes the deposition could haunt his client in the future, just in case smith is ever indicted for parker's death. coming up at 5:00, see what he plans to do to make sure that doesn't happen. >> lisa: thank you. developing right now, the urgent search for the driver behind a deadly hit-and-run crash in brevard county. >> ginger: troopers say the truck involved should have some front end damage. >> julie: the driver hit and killed a man while he was trying to get back on his bike. it happened last night along courtney parkway and spruce avenue in merritt island. troopers say 54-year-old stephen terry was riding his bike when at one point he fell off while trying to cross the parkway. that's when the driver hit him and drove away. troopers are searching for a dark-colored 1995 to 2003 chevy pickup truck with front-end

we had a really good meeting. >> mitch mcconnell and paul ryan didn't know about the meeting. they said they were not invited. was that on purpose? >> no, not at all. we're very inclusive. frankly, jeff and a small group just invited a small group of people. >> ginger: and bernie sanders is skipping it to campaign out west ahead of tomorrow's caucus. 131 delegates are at stake in three states, arizona, idaho and utah. and on the republican side, there's 98 in arizona and utah. >> julie: here on the space coast, it's all systems go for another launch at the cape. this time, united launch alliance will send a cargo capsule carrying international space station supplies into orbit. right now, the launch is set for tomorrow night at 11:05 p.m. the rocket will deliver 7500 pounds of food and equipment and experiment to the i.s.s.

in florida, regular gas is just at $2.03. but here in orlando, you'll be paying $2.01 for a gallon. he says he's not complaining about the spike, after just moving down from new jersey. >> a couple years back we were looking at 3, maybe -- almost $4 in gas. i'm happy we have not reached those levels again. >> reporter: the rise has to do with a number of issues. despite the rise, aaa records shows drivers have not had to pay $2 for a gallon of gas since december and prices are down, 45 cents since a year ago. >> so far down here, they seem to be a little bit lower. i've definitely appreciated that, being in a residented state. >> reporter: gas prices could go up 50 cents more than we're seeing now by memorial day weekend.

spring breakers are out in central florida, but in some cities along the gulf coast, the crowds are not the same as in years prior. citing concerns about public drunkenness and damage to the beaches, the city of gulf shores, alabama just decided to ban alcohol, similar to what panama city did last year. tourists say it is showing. >> panama city is pretty much dead also. there's no spring break going on there. so we drove up here thinking things were going to be happening here and nothing. >> lisa: so businesses in the panama city beach area say sales have dropped 50 to 80% over the same period last year because of the ban. we told you last week, lifeguards in daytona beach think the crowds are coming here because of those bans. that's why police and beach safety decided to step up their patrols around atlantic avenue. taking you live now out to daytona beach, it doesn't look too crowded right now.

thought it was in park and it was in reverse still. transportation safety administration is now investigating more than 850,000 vehicles, most are 2014 and 2015 grand cherokee equipped with e-shift. it claims 121 accidents resulted in several people being hospitalized. we drove a 2014 grand cherokee at the consumer reports test track in connecticut. >> i've pushed all the way forward. it doesn't necessarily mean i end up in park. >> at the end of the day, we want to make sure there's no problem with the car moving in a direction the consumer is not expecting it. >> reporter: they're cooperating investigation. it has not recalled any of the existing models. the automakers say the changes were due to customer satisfaction, not safety
