[cheers and applause]. >> fun! >> john: i have an idea of what that is. >> amy: match covers, like matchbooks. like -- they collect these things, like you collect stamps. >> john: pocket squares. >> amy: yes. >> jayme: i've got mind. >> amy: is there anything you collect? fishing lures. >> jayme: fishing lures, surf boards. >> amy: you do have a surf board collection. >> jayme: i do, and trying to -- it is three leaves from a bush out by the weather deck. and, i told amy she has been giving me flak all morning and i said why don't you leave me alone, okay? just leave me alone, amy. here are the numbers for you now, in regard to visibility. it is reduced now to i-95. into the florida turnpike.

you know i'll say it. the temperatures are getting larger, around 70 in spots, we have 60s, peppering in for good measure and overall a very warm, mild morning. the day ahead, offering up a warm one, back to the mid and upper 80s and isolated rain chance, say it isn't so. check it out, front dropping in. the first of the series of weather systems that will make an impact on the local weather scene increasing the clouds and ultimately helping to spark up this rain chance, but it is slight. i think the overall odds are area wide in the 35 viewing area toward ocala and gainsville. 30, 40%, 20% orlando and see the the chances, coming up for the weekend and we'll talk about that with regard to your weekend outdoor plans in 10 minutes, see you then. >> kristin: good morning, bumper to bumper for a big chunk of i-4. because of this crash, right here, blocking a left lane at i-4 westbound. at the florida turnpike. crews are out there, trying to clean up the mess, but it is

>> it will be the last generation of orcas at sea world, this company who helped the world fall in love with orca, will transition away from theatrical shows and the animals will continue to live at sea world under world class care where visitors can see them for years to come. >> luanne: killer whales can actually live to be up to 50, and in a couple of decades, all of the orcas at sea world could be gone, as you heard the company says it will introduce new natural orca encounters, rather than those theatrical shows you see now, they will focus on arca enrichment, exercise, and their overall health. the park in san diego actually cancelled all of its orca shows last year. but, these new shows will start at that park next year followed by san antonio and then here in orlando, in 2019. sea world also announced this morning it is partnering with the humane society. this all comes just days after sea world orlando said the killer whale may be dying of a

the latest from the fox 35 newsroom, john and amy, back to you in the studio. al. also new this morning, investigators trying to figure out what sparked a deadly fire in lake county. >> amy: it broke out about 9 o'clock last night in the town of mineola. the fire department says the home is a total loss and one person died in the fire. now the name an age of the victim is being withheld but neighbors say a 7-year-old boy was taken away in an ambulance. investigators told us that other people were inside of the house as well. but they were able to get out with minor injuries. >> john: an entertainer with legendary name, dies right here in central florida. frank sinatra, jr., the son of frank sinatra, died last night of a massive heart attack. he fell ill before his performance last night in datona beach. he was 72. orange county deputies investigating deadly shootings that happened before 10:00 p.m. at the chowder bay apartment off south rio grand avenue. deputies have detained one man. but are not saying if the person

all new at 8:00, on the health watch, a study shows a perfect kidney match may not be necessary for a donation. >> amy: we're speaking with

>> amy: welcome back to "good day orlando." 8:0 right now. a great view, our camera on international drive. nice view of the orlando eye! great day to wear green! >> john: look at that! >> amy: that may be a bird. >> john: a taradactyl! >> amy: i don't know. superman! could have been a leprechaun. on the health watch as many as 100,000 americans are on a waiting list now for a transplant. for a kidney and many will wait up to five years for a deceased donor's kidney. a major challenge is finding the right match. but a breakthrough study in the "new england journal of medicine" shows a perfect match may not be necessary. fox medical team's beth galvin who donated one of her own kidneys last summer joins us live from atlanta to talk more about this. this is fascinating. >> reporter: it is, amy and it is interesting, because of those 100,000 people you mentioned that are waiting ona kidney transplant, half of them, 50%

difficult for them to find a match and my donor was one of those people. and, for 40% of the people waiting may never find a match because of the antibody and what they are doing with the process, desensitization and are going in and tweaking the recipient's immune system to make it less likely that he or she will reject a donor kidney from somebody. so it may be really great news for people who waited a long time, and are waiting on a kidney. it is still in the experimental process but seems to be effective. amy. they are talking about 8 years out, a very high number of these folks are still alive. about 75%. so, you know, that is a very good track record for this particular study or these particular patients. >> amy: what about other organs? obviously, the kidney, you know, is great. any other organs that could work

>> the biggest potential will be kit with kidneys but it may be effective with liver donors and maybe lung donors. the catch, though, is, amy, there has to be a living donor transplant. like i was part of where somebody gives you one of their kidneys, because they need a couple of weeks and they have to pre-treat you before you have your transplant surgery receive your kidney to give you -- takes out the antibodies of your blood and give you new antibodies and those new antibodies make it less likely that you may reject the kidney, once you get it. so it could be huge news for people waiting on a list for a long time and can't find a match. >> amy: it really is a breakthrough, for sure. great to see you. al looking good in your green, today. see you later! >> therapy green? >> jayme: took it out! what she's talking about, folks,

>> that is totally cheating! >> jayme: whatever, leave me alone, get it? leave me alone. your accu-weather forecast update and here's lake eola, downtown orlando, looking good right now. albeit we have low clouds and we have a little sun going on there. a front now that is literally sagging. it is oozing into central florida. amy made a face -- you don't like the word? oozing. >> amy: like phlegm. . >> jayme: phlegm! we have 70 leesburg and 69 sanford and kissimmee, 68 and melbourne, showing us a few flashes of mid and upper 60s, overall not an awful morning, i'd like to see more sunshine, if you are visiting from, i don't know, up north somewhere, hoping for sun. we'll eventually get in on it and at some point we have the scene now, of mixed skies, isolated p.m. rain chance at about 20% and nothing we can do about that. the chance for you guys in ocala and gainsville is a notch or two higher overall and the range of

closures proximity of the frontaled -- front and the moisture riding on the northern fringe of the boundary. high pressure over far south florida, building in over the turks and cake coast icos. the front will be a foe in the forecast through the next 24 hours. we'll have our times of rain, and nothing too locally heavy, but, certainly a few extra raindrops, we need it. beneficial, no doubt. if you are doing the golf thing today. blend over sun and clouds. maybe a p.m. shower, so if you are out at bay hill for the arnold palmer classic, i don't know the policy of umbrellas but you might want it as we get closer to the weekend. here's the deal: as front one comes through a secondary system will get in here and basically move up and north of our area. it will be a distinct focal point for'sal rain as low pressure begins to phase in. after that, it looks like by sunday, real modest rain chance

kick into the at lark by afternoon and from that point on we start to clear things out. and cool things down. so, better weather begins to emerge a little too late, i know but by monday we get sun back in place and a lot cooler than we have been as of late. check out lake atlantic, man, like primo. boat after boat, running offshore today, the fishing is heating up. water temperatures are coming up with the -- and the lake -- ocean is looking like a lake, pretty glassy, flat, and 1-2 feet seas and in second international and looks like 16 seconds on the international with long period ocean groundswell phasing in. overall boating looks good and our surfing should be good, in the coming days as well. hi tide, 4:53 at ponds inlet, and low at 11:13. high at 5:13 and 4:02 at port canaveral and water temperatures slowly coming up and of note, brevard county, low and mid 70s the surf. gradually beginning to move in an upwards direction which we like to see. comfy in the surf.

today, the 80s despite this increase in clouds, rain chance 20%, tonight, ongoing risk of a few isolated showers and pockets over rain may move through, not a big deal, 61 ocala and 61 gainesville and mid and upper 60s around orlando metro. the coming days, though, as temperatures decrease, rain chance comes up, clouds increase as well. by monday we wash our hands of the mess, 71 with bright sun and no chance of rain cake kicking off next work week. that's your forecast, here's crystal with traffic. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, issues this morning, on i-4, this is a look right now, looking west at john young parkway. that is the westbound lane right there. we have slowdowns and it is because of this crash right here, on the florida turnpike exit right here, this is closed down one lane, looks like they just reopened it. crews are still out there. though. this is the florida turnpike and i-4 westbound. looking like they are moving out the car right now. so this is causing some significant delays on i-4 westbound. we're also seeing some delays in

drive times, here. westbound i-4, from lake mary boulevard to colonial will take you 26 minutes. eastbound from the attractions to downtown will take you 24 minutes, and the 408 this morning, h444444444444rom the 417 to downtown, will take you 11 minutes. time now for the fox 35 pump patrol. regular gas is $1.76 at the citgo on west florida, 434 and timber lane trail, in winter springs. now, you can always find gas saving tips on our web site, that is www.fox35orlando.com. john and amy, back to you. >> john: flagler county deputies and crime stoppers looking for a man who has been missing since last spring. >> amy: ryan joins us in studio b this morning with more on that. good morning. >> good morning. we're joined as always by the executive director of crime line, and, the flagler county sheriffs office as well. we talked about this, the man has not been seen since may of last year. what are the details. >> he was last heard from his

they report he's missing and need us to go investigate to find out what happened to him. we went to his home and found his car missing, three days later found his car abandoned in a parking lot along palm coast parkway not far from his home. he'sy. >> detect and has a prosthetic leg and were concerned from a medical standpoint. we found through our investigation a few days prior to us finding his car he was seen in palm coast and know it is suspicious. why is he missing? there is something afoot. something is wrong with this investigation. he's not off on his own, our investigation followed a lot of leads, forensically, we interviewed a lot of people and then looked at this as being suspicious. we looked at this as being more than that. we consider it to be foul play, suspected. you can see on the billboard, we teamed up with crime stoppers of northeast florida and, out front media and need to offer money and felt by giving a $10,000 reward it would influence someone to come forward and

we know someone in our community, maybe a listener or viewer today knows something. we're hoping $10,000 can influence them to come forward and provide information. >> ryan: what do you see when you look at the clues here? >> well here's what we hopeful we hope maybe someone who knew him knew of the situation, possibly had a life stale change or time to come forward. and if they would, please call northeast crime stoppers of florida at 888-277-tips. or come through crime line and we'll get the tip up to them. but they're at a point where they'll need help from someone. there is $10,000 reward, up to $10,000 out there through crime stoppers. make the call. anonymous and let's try and help flagler county resolve this. >> if you have been here you have seen the bill border and hopefully something will jog a memory and one tip could make a big difference as you know as well? good to see you both and look for the billboard and keep the numbers in mind.

>> thank you, it is a big week for people who collect matchbooks or matchbook covers or even match boxes. >> reporter: david martin is at the southern match cover swap fest in altamonte springs with more on -- a big deal, i guess, daifd. good morning! >> reporter: good morning, i tell you, what do you do when you get a matchbook cover? you light the match and toss out the cover. no! you don't do that. there is value to this piece of paper! we're talking about what that is, here at the 18th annual match cover swap fest at the altamonte hilton, where you,

we'll tell you how you can and at progressive, we let you compare our progressive direct rate... great deals for reals! ...and our competitors' rates side-by-side, so you know you're getting a great deal. saving the moolah. [ chuckles ] as you can see, sometimes progressive isn't the lowest. not always the lowest!

>> john: 8:23. welcome back. interesting convention happening this week in central florida. and they -- >> i think this is cool. this southeastern match cover club is hosting its 18th annual southern match cover swap fest. fox 35's david martin is joining us live in altamonte springs, to tell us more about it. and, it is funny, david, we had the conversation earlier. and, some of the things people collect, and, i mean, it makes perfect sense, collecting matchbox covers. that is fun. >> reporter: does it make sense

let's find out how much sense. with frank, the chairman here of the annual match cover swap, frank, good morning, how are you? >> good morning. >> reporter: thanks for inviting us out to the soiree in the altamonte hilton. what is a swap fest for match covers. >> it basically means you are swapping with one another and people will bring in match covers and meet other people, that collect the topics and they swap. and that is what -- why they call it say swap fest. >> reporter: this year the theme is -- >> let's eat out. >> reporter: matchbook covers from restaurants, presumably. >> yes, of course. for that topic but of course we have other topics represented. >> reporter: and you have a major auction cooking this weekend. let's talk to the folks, who have their matchbook covers on display. john, where are you from, my friend. >> originally from ohio but i have been a florida resident for 20-some years. >> reporter: all right, your display is called the demise of

>> it is -- first started 1983. when someone initiated the no smoking for a day program. escalated into what we have today. no smoking in all public buildings. very, very seldom can you find an establishment that will issue a matchbook. rare and valuable. >> people were smoking pipes, cigars and it is all a thing of the past. >> reporter: good, thank you. allen allen, where are you from. >> las vegas, nevada. >> reporter: and the humorous category. >> dennis the menace, i got at an auction at a swap fest. >> reporter: how much did you pay for those? >> reporter: thousands? >> no. no. ten bucks. >> reporter: do you hang them or try and sell them. >> no, i display them so people can enjoy them. >> reporter: thank you. >> jerry you have a foreign category. what does that mean?

>> saturday night is the end with our bank quet banquet. best to come tomorrow. >> reporter: back more from the auction tale in the next hour of "good day orlando." thanks for joining us. pleasure meeting you, my friend. back to you in the studio. >> amy: and, they are active and doing that. good for them. coming up, a unique science experiment and is set to launch from the cape next week. >> john: why nasa plans to send make today smile with 6 dunkin' donuts for $4.49, powdered with sugar, layered with frosting, filled with jelly, or topped with sprinkles. share some smiles with 6 donuts for $4.49 today.

refresh yourself on the outside and inside with a revitalizing iced tea from dunkin' donuts. sip in any size iced tea for 99 cents today. america runs on dunkin'. >> announcer: you're watching "good day orlando" on fox 35. i'm on top of the world i'm on top of the world...

a live view looking down on i-drive, it is packed, tourist areas and the beaches will be packed. spring break is upon us, with so many people, and it is busy, busy around here. for at least a month or so. >> john: some are already done. >> amy: and last week, this week and next week, will go -- >> we'll try -- >> you'll ski? >> amy: we'll see. i'll try. not around here. obviously. glad you are with us, happy st. paddy's day, i'm amy kaufeldt. >> john: i'm john brown. i feel guilty because i have no interest going to the -- i feel like i am depriving my kids of the experience. >> amy: i feel bad for your children! >> john: for many reasons! that is just one! >> jayme: exactly. long list. all right, here's your numbers for you. 60s, at 70 in some spots, we have a nice veil of clouds on top. that is breaking up, periodically.

i'll call it mixed skies. isolated p.m. rain risk for orlando metro and the surrounding communities and suburbs and counties, probably, around 20, maybe 30%, i think a solid 40% for you guys, gainesville and maybe ocala as well as the moisture is gathering, this northern fringe of the front. you see it pulling through, eventually it comes through and then comes back north again, we'll couple the energy with another wave of low pressure. that comes out of the central gulf. and will enhance the rain chance and keep the clouds in pay for much of the weekend. 50% chance saturday, during the day. we'll have distinct lows, nor refiring late saturday night. into early sunday morning. after that, we're looking good, smooth sailing, ample sun and look at that, close to 70. it has been a while on monday and close to 80, and, florida pulls the stunts with the temperatures and doing it again wednesday, close to 08 degrees and lots of sun, no chance of rain. that is your forecast. here's kristin with traffic. >> kristin: good morning, slowdowns on i-4.

cars coming towards the screen are moving west. the westbound side. because of this crash. it has been cleared but we are still seeing some emergency crews out there on the left hand shoulder. turnpike. we're seeing some delays in the area because of that. you notice the red colors there running through orlando. looking at drive times, i-4 westbound, from lake mary boulevard to colonial. will take you 25 minutes and attractions-downtown, 24 minutes and, using the 408, from the 417 minutes. john and amy, back to you. >> john: thank you. all new this morning, a community in shock and family in need of support after a deadly house fire. >> amy: it happened last night on west mineola street and ridge crest drive in mineola. dana jay has been joining us live from the scene. good morning earning good to see you. >> good morning, amy. good morning, john and let me step out of the way so you can look at this. the sun has come up.

the damage that is here. the home is a total loss. the family has lost a loved one, it was engulfed in flames, this home, when crews arrived around 9:00 last night. three fire departments responded plus paramedics and the fire chief says crews went into the home and pulled out one person and they tried to revive the person on scene and were unable to do so. everybody else escaped with minor injuries, the city of mineola is not identifying the person killed and are waiting until the family can be notified. the sit manager issued the statement. mineola is a close knit community of people who care about each other and now is the time to come together to pour out love for the family. and, that was the sentiment we got from neighbors, that we talked to this morning. >> it is hard. i heard one of you say there is something set up for the family.

was like, no, we -- it is sad to lose a -- to lose someone the in your family and not be able to mourn them with memorabilia of them, you know? it is awful. >> and according to a city manager's office, they arer working on setting up a drop off location for donations to the family. it's not clear at this point where those444444444444 we get details we'll pass it along to you, as well. the fire marshal will be out here, checking to see what caused the fire and when we get more details we'll share it also, reporting live in mineola, dana jay, fox 35 news. >> john: rockledge police need your help finding a woman accused of using fake $100 bills, it kicks off the morning rush. 8:35. look at the picture. we get a good look at the woman's face. police say she tried to use the cash at a cvs store last month and was turned away and is accused of using another fake

she speaks with an accent. if you recognize her picture call police. >> john: federal authorities at oia arrested a suspected drug smuggler after finding 6 pounds of heroin on the traveller. it happened on sunday, customs officials checked a backpack belonging to a 38-year-old man who arrived on the flight from mexico city. they noticed lumps in the bag and found the drugs. the man and the drugs were both handed over to homeland security. >> amy: nasa scientists are setting fire to learn how to put it out. in space, that is. nasa will launch an unmanned spacecraft from cape canaveral next weekend and will deliberately set it on fire while it is orbiting the earth. they are doing it to learn more about how to deal with a raging fire in space and scientists say it is especially important for long rake exploration missions. -- long range explore missions. i wonder if we can spot it, to the naked eye. >> john: like a shooting star. really on fire!

will try and conquer. >> john: the arnold palmer invitational is underway. fox 35's andrea jackson is live at bay hill. with major champions! >> reporter: shhhhhhhh! i have my golf voice on this morning. be very quiet here. if you come down make sure you bring your indoor-indoor voice, and i'll step out of the way. on the green practicing, mack jones from australia, russell-ly and stewart cink, at, this is really exciting. no shortage of this year's event, rory mcilroy, they're all here. the tournament kicked off at the bay hill club in orlando, the last group will tee off at 2:00. we spoke with four time winner ben curtis who says he's excited for his first event of the year. take a listen:

august and played one other small event but being able to get out of the north and come down here a few week and get ready for the event is just good to be able to start up here. >> reporter: they have their sights set on matt avery who won the last two arnold palmer invitational and a third victory would place him in a select group, and it gets difficult with bubba watson and others in play. the round includes top names and i saw graeme mcdowell tee off and justin rose amazing. tickets still plenty available for the arnold palmer invitational. the match runs through sunday. . i shouldn't say match. a golf game. the invitational runs through sunday and weather is perfect for endless arnold palmer's! the ultimate drink.

st. patrick's day? blue, yellow get ready for sun protection that stays on ...right through your game. neutrogena cool dry sport. the only sport sunscreen with clinically proven helioplex . play on with protection that stays on. cool dry sport.

stre-e-e-e-eam stream, stream, stre-eam stre-e-e-e-eam stream, stream, stream when i want you in my arms when i want you and all your charms whenever i want you all i have to do is stre-e-eam. there's no one road out there.

no one speed... no one way of driving on each and every road. but there is one car that can conquer them all. the mercedes-benz c-class. five driving modes let you customize the steering, shift points, and suspension to fit the mood you're in... and the road you're on. the 2016 c-class. lease the c300 for $399 a month

>> amy: all right, expect you to do your irish jig as we answer the question, on this day in history, march 17th, 1762. the very first st. patrick's day parade was held, but it was not in ireland. it was in new york city. i thought about making that the question but i thought it would be too easy. ryan didn't. so, for many years the irish actually associated another color with the holiday, because green was actually considered to be unlucky. the other color was also considered symbolic of ireland. and it is used in their presidential flag.

was it blue, yellow or orange that was first associated as the color of ireland? the question this morning. david martin, sending it out to you first. out there with a lot of smart people. i hope somebody knows the answer to this. >> reporter: a great question. yeah. these folks at the 18th annual match cover swap fest know this. to the chairman here. of the swap fest, frank denver. you heard the question and this answer. tell our audience what the answer is. >> i'll take a shot at blue. [cheers] >> amy: is out because of the blue shirt. >> is the shirt inspiring you today? >> it is green! >> amy: it is! >> is it groan? >> okay, you are saying blue out there, at the swap meet. >> you said blue. >> okay. over to luanne and ryan, ryan, you forgot to wear green today.

>> i wore a green tie yesterday. a day early. >> amy: i asked twitter answer is. >> that is not fair. >> there are only four! orange. >> ryan: you think of the flag, it is green, white and orange. >> amy: oh. >> ryan: we'll say orange. we feel strong. >> amy: they say orange. let's turn it over to the weather team, kristin and jayme? >> jayme: yes, what do you think? >> kristin: orange. we'll go with orange. >> amy: okay. that is yellow. >> kristin: i was going with the pot of gold because i can't wear green on the green screen. pot of gold.
