the skies always and shows us that rain now breaking out in a lot of areas, some is locally heavy. this is the precursor line in advance of what i'm calling the main event. it came in as a little bit of a segmented or broken line of showers and storms and is morphed and exploded into several pockets of heavy ongoing rain. we have a significant weather advisory now for you along the at the end of the year pike and the eastern edge of i-75. heading over into lake county now. and, looks like it is approaching the area lakes, mainly south of the villages there and we traced that out to heavier rains around ocala and that continues down toward north of tampa. around orlando everything over eastern orange county and down south of palm bay and along the turnpike and the core of i-95. the corridor there. i'm watching this and it looks to move in as we head toward the lunch time hours, all tied to the massive behemoth of a low pressure center and canopy of

storm down to the south. here's timing on that mainline i showed you over the gulf of mexico. look out, marion caught, 11:00 a.m looks like the gainesville area, a little before that. lake and volusia county around noon hour, and will head toward orlando after that time, 12:30, 1:00, and then brevard county, 1:30 to 2:00. note it is moving rapidly again and the line of storms southwest to northeast as the actual front presses eastbound and areas on either side of these mentioned area, the beachfront out to the gulf of mexico will be pushing through from 20 to 35 miles per hour. it will be moving pretty good. showing us around quarter to 3rd it is toward the brevard area beaches and we could see a narrow band of heavy winds, looks suspiciously like the last storm that rocketed through sunday morning and in its wake will be very, very windy, as the low traverses the state from north of us an drags the sharp

end result, colder weather, emphasis on colder weather and by tomorrow struggling to get into low and mid 50s for highs, and here's the 40s from ocala north tomorrow and very, very windy weather on ton of that. monitoring that and the latest in weather radar coming up for you, throughout the morning hours. until 10:00 a.m., over to you. >> luanne: thank you, sir. local designers are turning trash into treasures. materials otherwise hitting the landfill is hitting the runway, part of the trash to trends recycled fashion show: i fund-raiser for keep orlando beautiful al beautifulal this looks like so much fun -- beautiful. this looks like so much fun. and, the coordinator for the event joins us, thanks for coming in. tell us about the event and what people can expect. >> okay. the event is happening saturday, february 6th at sea world, at

other recall affects the company's strollers, the be ready strollers, 49,000 of them and they were sold april of 2010 through this month. the strollers, $500, and, the seat is $150, and the issue is with the seat itself. that has the foam pad and there can be a chocking hazard. >> luanne: and the other story you are working on, general motors is launching a new car sharing service if you use it do you drive a new car or other general motors owners sharing. >> it is being tested in one city now, ann arbor, michigan and it seems the cars, everything from a volt to tahoe are the company's cars and you are renting them by the hour and it could change and the program will expand, the strange thing about this, a company that sells cars for you to buy and own is

it is kind of... defeats the purpose. >> luanne: but if you like it may be you will buy it once you go to drive it. >> it could be that. i'm going with this. in the future, near future, millenials especially, disinterested with cars, no one -- few people want to own cars. be like renting them and hailing them and uber and lyft and zip car and gm doesn't want to be left out and are getting into the future in a new way, 25 million people worldwide expected to share cars by the year 2020. >> luanne: we did a story a day or two ago, fewer young people are getting their drivers licenses. >> yes. serving call uber and go where i need to go. >> there you go. >> luanne: lauren, good to talk with you, have a great weekend. >> you, too. bye-bye. >> luanne: catch lauren each week day morning on fbn-am on the fox business network at 5:00 a.m. eastern. if you are not sure where to find her, go to fox

all right, over to jayme king. has the weather moved in yet. >> jayme: there is rain in your future, two hours from now but on the way. the first line is moving through and that prompted a couple of weather advisories, significant ones from the national weather service, in the tampa area, monitoring sumpter county now and you can see between the turnpike and i-75, right there, snaking through is producing heavy rain, east of orlando towards southern and southeastern portion of orange county and brevard, we've had a couple of areas swiping through volusia county and marion county. so, again, this is area number one, here's number 2. this is the band of moisture, the squall line that is enhancing at this time though snow amounts that are firing up north of atlanta.

over to dense white know a huge boat load of it when all is said and done and looks luke -- like the mainline over the gulf of mexico will impact marion county, 11:00 a.m. and lake and volusia county at 12:00 and orlando 1:00 and brevard county 1:30, 2:00, and either side, we mentioned location. southwest and northeast. you guys will be prone to this as well. using these specific spots as kind of a middle ground, indicator where it will be and know either side the weather will be flaring on the northeastern side and the southwestern edge, you can see how it moves eastbound now and could produce gusts around the brevard county area. like the event we had around here last sunday morning as it was wrapping up, we found a narrow corridor, damaging winds over the eastern, far eastern side of central florida and modeling hinting at the possibility of that right now, we have been monitoring the trends and we'll continue to do so until it is sweeping clear on

gusty westerly air flow behind this and will veer northwest when the cold stuff comes in, our 7-day forecast showing just that. highs tomorrow, low and mid 50s and if we get there-type scenario of windy weather. will be cranking pretty good and, you know, it is rare we talk about windchill factor through the noon hour and into the early and mid-afternoon. that is likely going to be the case tomorrow, by sunday, a little warmer. just a touch. mid and upper 50s and keep the sunshine. and like magic, florida style, only here can we achieve this. by tuesday, low 70s, coming back and nice warm-up threaten with a blend of sun and clouds during the time, no chance of rain after today until next wednesday and thursday. that's your forecast. over to you. >> jayme: and a weather baby, when the weather is foul, nothing better than a weather baby. chloe, i have a couple now, chloe looking good and of course you can not forget the dynamic duo, jason, eli looking fierce. look at these two, huff it mom and dad, thank you. www.fox35orlando.com.

and grew up -- >> yes. he was but i -- >> you never thought to be -- >> not at that time. i was a little girl and had other things to do and wasn't going to be in the garage with my dad and actually, once i walked out of that place, i followed the next steps and i wanted to learn the truck from the bottom up and i got the right contacts and pursued my dream that way and got a start under the truck and was a crew chief four years and -- >> i was curious the next stop, you walk out of the dome and say i wa and i went know where to go. >> that's it. you have to do your research and i contacted medusa and i said, this is who i am, a girl going to school learning high performance engines and chassis fab and i want to work on monster trucks some day. and two weeks later i was on plane to north carolina. >> john: what is your signature move?

do you do the aerial stuff? >> i really have been trying to perfect this, what i call the bull buck, when you get to the face of a steep ramp you turn all four rear steer. at the same time and does a pirouette thing, kind of tricky! sometimes it works out and sometimes you land half on the ramp and half off and working on perfecting it. >> john: you see -- you see some of these trucks that do back flips and it has really gone to the next level. what is the reaction from people, you know, newbies when they get in there? my kids love it, luanne's kids love it. do you hear people saying i had no idea it was this cool. >> absolutely. people come, grandparents with little kids, i brought my kids and they love it and now i love it! we're coming back next year! a good family fun all around event for everybody and is just
