the 40s from the warmth yesterday but we're cooling on down quick. as more rain works it's way in that tends to cool us down quick. we have water evaporating. our temperatures drop quickly. temperatures especially north of downtown from hamilton lebanon and wilmington into the 30s as we get through the next few hours at least the upper 30s as we see cooler weather starting to push in. the temperature trend overnight has been falling a degree per hour. you can see the rain on the lens. this is camera in covington looking over the river. you see the rain and it's mainly light. you saw megan's live shot. she had a few rain showers. most of this rain is down town. it's filling in from forest park around the 275 loop. even if you're going up 271 near blue ash and kings island getting in on light rain and that's all we're seeing right now. it's just rain. it's not in the form of frozen precipitation and no snow yet. once the temperatures drop off we could see snow flakes mix in fear butler county and fayette and union county especially highland county. that's the best chance of seeing snow this morning. in fact near wilmington we could see slush on car tops. not on the roads. certainly this is the same map we used yesterday. we're not expecting much of anything from cincinnati, kentucky and indiana maybe a snowflake mixing in but that's it. that's what we have for around 10:00 a.m. that's when temperatures are falling into the 30s. that's when we'll hit our lows is around 10 or 11. then we'll rise into the 40s with on and off rain showers. we'll top out our testimony commerce into the middle 40s. maybe in northern kentucky they'll squeeze out 30s and 40s. even a few peaks of sunshine by 7:00 o'clock when the sun sets. i'm hoping we can get part of the day dry. at least some dry periods in here by late afternoon. trying to push in but we had a lot of dry air. you can see this near columbus. that's snow flakes trying to mix in but this rain goes back nearly to st. louis. so we have awhile to go until this moves out. forty-five and 38. we get temperatures around 38. yeah that's above freezing but off the ground it's below freezing. we can still have snow falling with temperatures in the 30s. forties over towards evansville. the warmer air is farther south. we're talking bowling green on the south and into ten 7. here's snow mixing in -- tennessee. it's mainly rain in southeastern indiana south of brookville and much of more then kentucky. just a few snow flakes. the rain snow line just starting to approach cincinnati but this

first a quick check of some good basketball watching weather today. here's meteorologist brandon orr with no wait weather. >> hey, liz. we have rain falling in a couple areas. at least over downtown we have rain. not too much in northern kentucky yet. most of it is in the 275 loop and pushing north. where we do have rain that's where temperatures have been falling faster. you can see brookville and oxford and versailles down to 41. we'll likely be in the 30s there over the next couple hours and that's where we'll see snow flakes mix in. we're still mainly dry and into the 40s throughout northern kentucky and from georgetown, batavia, lunken and the airport dropped down to 43. you see the rain drops on the lens of the atrium weather camera. in over the top of this very dry air we have around. that's why it's not raining too heavy yet. you see the yellows that's going to push in here later on this afternoon. that's what we'll be watching later on. we'll see the chance of rain

the dress you have on for instance would look like a yellowish greenish tint to it to a dog. they don't see -- it's the equivalent of being color blind. >> these hughes are what they see now? >> correct. the top part is the human spectrum the bottom part is the canine spectrum so they don't see reds. it's like human being color blind. >> that's interesting. >> their eyes over the years they descended from wolves so they're designed from hunting protection. so they have a wider field of vision than we do. but their focus is less. they concentrate on movement. a lot of dog toys are red so if you throw that the dogs going to go after the boubsing but if it stops in the grass it's going to these dogs will see these if you throw them out in the grass. so dog toys vary in their design. brightness. dogs don't seem to react to sunlight as we do. not this needing sunglasses. >> so much for the dog guy sunglasses then. >> that's right. but if you see a dog reacting that way there's something wrong with their eyesight so get to your veterinarian because there's something going on. >> good to knee. that's a great question. -- good to know. >> this little guy will be available at

kentucky. temperatures today will be warming up into the 40s nicely. forty-four by 3:00 o'clock. that's when we're going to top out into the middle 40s. i think 46 will be our high between five and six. after 4:00 o'clock we see the bulk of the rain move out but we also see a few breaks in the clouds from time to time. i threw in sunshine right before sunset but we still have a chance for a stray shower this afternoon. so if you have to go out and do anything and you want to avoid the rain i would do so after 4:00 today. that's your best chance to see dryer weather move in. here's the

time. we're dry as we get into sunday but notice light showers off towards our east. it could scrape by in places like adams county or towards hillsboro could get in on a light shower sunday but i

dangerous for recovery. >> this river is very unfriendly and very unforgiving. we have to have the speed of the current in certain position before diverse can work. >> police will not release the name of the person until they have confirmation who was driving -- they want to 15ed out what forced the car over the wall but the priority is for the people inside. different ways to get that up regardless how high the river is but that diminishes our chance of recovering the victim that might be involved if they're inside the vehicle. >> it could be several days before diverse are safely
