lacey brewster// making signs to rally against trump "i think it's very important that given the hateful rhetoric that trump is spreading in this country that i think every person who agrees with what he is saying has a duty to say he doesn't stand for us." build bridges not walls-- just one of the many messages these anti-trump demonstrators hope to spread during trump's west chester appearance on sunday. and they're not alone. during trump's campaign rally in dayton on saturday-- one protestor took things a step attempt to charge at trump before being surrounded, then taken out by security. - "thank you for the warning. i was ready for him, but it's much easier if the cops do it. police arrested 32-year thomas dimassimo of fairborn charging him with disorderly conduct and inducing panic. these demonstrators planning for sunday's rally hope their message will have a more lasting impact. "i think it's important when we're standing up to his hateful message that we're responding to it with things that are of love." those rallying say they do plan to be here at the savannah center before a

let's go to leslee lacey for detours. >> what's going on here, folks. lots of issues today but let's talk about this u.s. 41 issue. look at this, already starting to see delays here. it's all due to the construction that gayle was talking about. is also known as nebraska. okay and then crenshaw lake road, that's where they have the closure, that's also known as witaker road. take dale mabry highway, north here in hillsborough county, dale mabry looks really good. 41 at crenshaw lake, already the area. campbell causeway. i hate to talk about the courtney campbell causeway because it's a mess right now, folks. all of the westbound lanes completely blocked. we've got an accident involving a semi-truck there. a pole is down in lanes. and guess what, not only can you not get by westbound, only one lane eastbound. take that howard franklin bridge. howard franklin bridge is a great drive. how long will it take you to cross it? six minute, better than the 20 eastbound on the courtney campbell causeway. so the howard franklin bridge or even through oldsmar, hill

we'll have lots of updates on this breaking story throughout lacey has been on top of this. what can you tell isn't it true >> very sad. a triple fatal accident. just one vehicle involved. as you said, gayle, they believe that speed was a factor. they have another person that's been transported to the hospital but three are deceased. traffic wise, university parkway is completely blocked both directions at the southeast lower corner of the airport. university closed old bradenton to desoto road. the good news is desoto road remains open so you can use it as an alternate. it intersects university right here at this location but it's an excellent alternate and then you can hop up here and continue on university if you're heading over to i-75. very sad news in the suncoast area this morning. in east lake we have a collision. road at keystone road so be on the lock out for that. we've had some big issues so far in traffic this morning. >>> how is the weather looking leigh? >> extremely different. it's back to winter. stroing -- strong winds from the north bringing in chilly air.

we are going to turn things over to leslee lacey to tell us about a traffic tie-up. >> yeah, unfortunately, we are waking up to a crash. a vehicle involving a motorcyclist when the we have a fatal accident and all of the southbound lanes on i-75 in gibsonton just past gibsonton drive are completely blocked. traffic is routed off at gibsonton. take 301 instead. let's take a live look because we have meliek on the street out there. and you can see there's a lot of debris on the roadway. again, this is involving a motorcyclist. and that motorcyclist actually hit the vehicle, rear-ended a vehicle. lanes are closed and we have a fatal crash here. so tough news to wake up to. again, 310 is the alternate. and now the weather forecast. hopefully that's better. >>> yeah, gorgeous weather. temperatures where they were this time yesterday basically. 54 in lakeland. bartow, 53. sarasota is at 55. we will make it to 77 today though. and even warmer tonight with a low of 62. and you know, today is the first day of march so a look at the averages for march. typically we see an overnight low of 58 and a h

we will check in with leslee lacey to see what changes are on the roadway. >>> well, we have an accident out in hernando county, not too far away from the brooksville area but it's off to the side of the roadway. not tying up any lanes and no injuries. but it is on highway 50 known as cortez road. and this is just west of the downtown brooksville area and it is at fort dade road. keep that in mind at cortez and fort dade. no issues there. a good drive into hillsborough county. moving further to the south here in the sun coast area and sarasota, leigh mentioned fog out there. and i'm going to show you a picture in a second but construction has university blocked under i-75 until about 6:00 a.m. take fruitville road or highway 70 instead. here's fog by the tower. you can see, thick there. and look at this, looks like it's rolling towards 22nd avenue south at the bottom of pinellas county. and overnight construction there but you can get by. that's a look at weather and traffic on the 8s. back to gene and gayle. >> thank you. >>> still ahead, thunder sleet morning, the video that will proba

. >>> right now let's turn things over to leslee lacey. >> a triple fatal accident. the police department believes that speed was a factor. use some caution on the road ways today. here's what is going on, university parkway is completely blocked between old bradenton over to desoto. so this is actually just west of u.s. 301 when university curves down to the south. it's also just south of the airport. this is the airport. so it's at that tail southern end of the sarasota airport. so university is completely blocked there. because of where it's blocked also part of desoto road is blocked there as well. you're alternate is down here at myrtle street. not exactly an easy alternate. you have the airport to the north, myrtle street is an alternate to the south. you shouldn't be able to use desoto road. it's a triple fatal. it's quite unusual to hear that. sad news. we have a fourth person that's at the hospital. so hopefully that person is going to be okay. >> very sad. hopefully people will know and can move around the area so they aren't impacted by it. >>> this mornin

lacey helps erin with picking up dropped items, opening and closing doors. also her best friend. >> aww, good stuff. >> looks good. i like that. >> al: you're going skiing this weekend? gillette me say this. gillette me say >> john: the ski resorts are open. >> christine: will warm temperatures stay? >> al: we're headed for 70 in the mountains. all upward trend. last week, a couple days in the 40s and 50s. this week every day gets warmer and warmer. yesterday, 75, today upper 70s. one thing we haven't had very much of is rain. in the last two weeks, barely a drop of rain, the deficits are over an inch for both the month and year, we can make that up in one heavy downpour, i don't see that coming any time soon. what i do see is continuation of the warm weather that is just all across the eastern part of the country. high pressure dominating, warm and new england. cool front in the midwest. in advance of that all this heavy rain that falls, texas, louisiana, arkansas, west tennessee. until this high gives ground, that rain is not moving anywhere, this high is

let's go to leslee lacey first with a look at where things could be a problem for you on the roads. >> not only a lot of fog on the sunshine skyway bridge, we have a nasty accident on the howard franklin bridge. it is northbound. it is just past the hump. so let's go ahead and take a look. here's what it looks like. you can see that only the left lane is getting by. and now i'm actually starting to see a bit of a back-up that extends just beyond the camera but not too far back here. still only going to take about eight minutes to cross the you don't need to take the courtney campbell causeway. only looking at a couple minutes of a delay here. but as we move towards rush hour, it's going to continue to get busier unless they wrap up soon. and a disabled vehicle 301 at blacking dale avenue in lanes. -- at bloomingdale avenue. again, a disabled vehicle out there. that's a look at traffic. how about the fog on the sunshine skyway bridge? at least it's open. >> yes, exactly. >>> the same thing happened yesterday, we had sea fog which starts over the water and spreads inland and that's why

we want to go straight to leslee lacey for the latest on this accident. we have seen the images from there, just really terrible. >> yeah, very terrible to wake up to a fatal crash. again, this is southbound on i- 75. as you saw in the radio, a lot of activity out there. some -- in the video, a lot of activity out there. southbound all of the traffic is diverted off of the
