The Olympic Games here being overshadowed tonight by the stunning announcement by Rio De Janeiro police today that ryan lochte and three other american swimmers were not robbed at gunpoint as lochte had publicly claimed. Tonight Surveillance Video shows a series of events at a rio gas station early sunday morning that supports some elements of the american story including being held at the point of a gun but contradicts much of what lochte has previously told nbc news.

Ohio. Slight High Pressure is building allowing us to sit under mainly sunny skies throughout the day. Hour by hour, we still have temperatures in the 80s with no tracking rain.
