Mark get your trunks. [ laughter ] romona thats right. Not that warm. Jeff it will come with strong winds as well. Right now it is chilly. A few flurries here and there. The snow with the system is out. Winter storm that dumped almost 20 inches of snow in rochester, new york. Wow. This is the little feature coming in tomorrow morning giving us light snow. Its not going to be the snow we saw today. This is less than an inch here and temperatures not doing much. We will hold steady around 30 degrees. All right, snow on the ground. 14 inches newton falls, trumbull county. 13 1 2 inches champion and mantua. Ravenna, kent, solon and middlefield 10 inches. We have spots away from the traditional snowbelt with more snow than what we have lets say like chardon. 29 the low tonight cloudy sky akroncanton seasonable and 27 for your low.

So on friday here gusts over 40 just some sprinkles. We dont have an alert for the rain but the wind this as we will be warming well into the 50s, i think. And i went with 55 on friday. How about that. But before that happens tomorrow night we are down to 11 as clouds break up. Sunny to partly cloudy thursday 54 and 55 friday and very windy and over the weekend saturday will be windy but dry cloudy sky 47. Alert sunday for some light rain in the afternoon. But we are up to 51. It does look like a bigger drop in temperature going through next week, though. Tony, over to you. Thank you, jeff. A lot of talk about kevin love closing in on the nba trade deadline. I say theres a different way to now this is the serpentini chevrolet sports report chevrolet report on cleveland 19 news. All right kevin love did not sign a five year 110 million deal last july to pack into february but his name is get ago lot of play as cavaliers decide what to do if anything before the trade deadline arriving thursday at 3 00. The question is, is there a chance love will be departing, highly unlikely. Cavs said they have to get a superstar in return raising another team out there that considers love a superstar at this point. I want to share a clip from the National Media what they are saying today. You have brooklyns first rounder and can you give it up to cleveland and and they should jump at it. Outside of that, no. When you look at David Griffin he has to stop about talking about kevin love. Kevin love is not a star. A little strong. Does love seem completely comfortable with lebron and kyrie, no throwing down 16 a game and it is up to ty lou. Why not use love off the bench. Forget about how much money he makes giving love more touches and strengthen the team. The finals mvp came off the bench and green started one game in the finals and was a difference maker. Is about using him better. Thats my take. We want yours tweet me and find me on facebook and cleveland19. Com. Speaking of adding to the bench how about this story out of phoenix. A couple of hours before coyotes play canadians their back up goalie was hurt. Got to have a backup goalie. They called a local baker who suited up just in case. All right. His dad was wellknown and coyotes coach 12 years ago and nathan played on club teams and this is a nhl game. He was giving his kids a bath. Dried them off, drove to the rink and made it in time for the game. He didnt play, thank goodness and after the game they gave him the championship belt and he sat there in his locker for hours as the rest of the team showered, did interviews and left because he didnt want to take the gear off. I am five minutes away and all right. All is quiet now. Light snow tomorrow morning. That will be minor around 30 and down to 11 tomorrow night and the big warm up friday. 55 and windy. But we will see falling back up to 51 sunday and some light rain. Not a very cold weekend at all. I like. Mark take it and run. Very good. Thank you for joining us at 6 00 cbs evening news is next.
