Talking about, sam . Samantha it was so warm over the weekend, and we gradually got cooler. Now we get a touch warmer before we get colder again. Its really kind of a roller coaster ride here. I want to go straight to the maps and show you that this morning it is a super quiet start for us. No Winter Weather alerts, no alerts. Its very, very quiet on the radar. Theres no rain, theres no snow. In fact, well have a lot of sunshine once it comes up after 7 00. Still some cloud cover hanging onto the south and east, but that is rapidly decreasing now. The clouds are going to fill in later today, but once the sun shades. Our temperatures in the 20s and 30s. Linndale, good morning to you. 28 is our current number.

Laura easy commutes out there so far this morning. Things are looking good. 77 is barren right now. We have a couple of lone cars driving along on their way in rolling into downtown there. Those are the northbound lanes. No delays at all this morning. Of course, its still early and 6 02 right now. Always keeping track. As we look across the wide map, west side is 50 Miles Per Hour.

You have easy, easy rides in this morning. 71 and 77 and theres a shot farther south at the turnpike. We move along well on the turnpike and also as you exit off towards 71 if thats your route. At 480. May be people getting ready to exit off and moving off slower by the sensors. 77 from akron to cleveland, 60 Miles Per Hour there and youre up to speed. All of the drive times. Abbing kron to cleveland, 37 minutes, 27 minutes from strongsville and then 27 minutes from elyria. Well look at the east side on 480 and 422 coming up in about ten minutes. Guys. Tia ill warn you right now, this story may make your skin crawl, right . Brian this is a tough one. Samantha theyre parasites to feed on human blood, bedbugs. Kyrie irving says that forced his early departure from sundays game in Oklahoma City. It was originally reported that kyrie had flaulike symptoms, but we learn that it was something a lot more creepy than that. Nikki. Nichole a lot more creepy, like bedbugs on your pillow makes your skin crawl. Thats what irving says in the was bedbugs but they were isolated to one room. Kyrie says he spotted the reddishbrown bug on his bed and got freaked out and slept the rest of the night on the couch. He felt nauseous at the game because of that and said his back was tight. Not a good experience. What if you say five big bedbugs sitting on your pillow. I woke up itching and looking around. Im like, dude, are you serious . It was 3 00 a. M. , and i was like i was so tired at that point. Nichole but there is more to the Skirvin Hotels. Many other nba teams say its haunted. We have more on that story in the next half hour. Tia. Tia thank you. We have a twitter poll going. The questions is, what would you irving and discovered bedbugs inside your hotel room . This is what we ask. Ask for a new room, leave the hotel, and then maybe perhaps you would do Something Else. I dont know. Sleep on a couch. Thats another one. Something. Something you do, right . Right now we have 111 votes and so far 75 of people say they would leave the hotel altogether. Im with them, too. The campaign for 2016 turns again to nevada today for the republican caucus. If the polls are correct, donald trump is set to win the third state in a row by a wide margin. The focus today for the finish second . Ted cruz and marco rubio are aggressively campaigning against each other and may have gotten the better of cruz, however. He had to part ways with ms. Chukzs director after falsely john kasich is projected to finish a stint fourth. In a half hour well show you how little some ohio voters know about our governor. Tim mcginty is running for rereaction against michael omalley, who serves as parmas safety director.

Police there continue their investigation today into the drowning of a 6yearold boy at the Double Tree Hotel swimming pool. Police say this happened during a birthday party. The adult who was in charge was not there at the time of the drowning. There are plenty of questions about how this could happen, and answers. We expect to learn more later this morning when we talk to the hotels corporate office. Tia theres a new app aiming to prevent teenage its called drive i. D. Parents will appreciate this. It uses Bluetooth Technology to stop a driver from sending or behind the wheel. It replies for the driver with a message about when they will reach their destination. We have parents that say thank you so much. You gave me peace of mind. I know that my kid is protected. Tia as long as the car is in gear, the phone only serves as a clock at that point. This means no instagram, facebook, snapchat, absolutely nothing. There are emergency parameters like 911 and a parents phone number. The driver i. D. Device costs 129 bucks. Brian good idea. Indian fever be a believer in the cleveland indians. That was the old tag line from 400 years ago. Tia im with it. Brian youll like the odds the experts give your tribe of winning the world series. Sam. Hey, do you experience any kind of ache or pain based on the daily pressure changes . Our air pressure, it changes. Sometimes the rain comes, the low pressure arrives, and you start to feel kind of lousy. If you are a sufferer, i think that youll experience some aches wednesday into thursday. That pressure really dropping as we have rain and snow on the way through the middle of the week. So, again, if you do suffer from those weatherrelated aches and pains, oh, the middle of the week might bring you some trouble. Q. Q. coming up in about five minutes or so, ill tell you all about an event happening right here in cleveland that could improve your life no matter where you live in northeast when caret crangs t, ali cathinabou getng rief.

Today we expect to hear from president obama about his plan to shut down the Guantanamo Bay detention center. This is something he long vowed to accomplish during his presidency. Congress has shut down the previous proposals from the president. Mr. Obama argues guantanamo is used as a terrorist recruiting tool and costs too much to maintain. Tia look at this. The surf slamming the hawaii coast. Crews had to shut down a 12mile stretch of highway bau the because the waves were too strong. Rocks were thrown across the roadway of course, so at first they didnt seem to mind the waves. Honolulu city Officials Say this is the biggest swell theyve seen in a decade. Samantha forget the waves. Just give me the beach. Every time we show those big waves from the sea of el nino, we talk about those beautiful beaches. Does anyone else have spring fever . Tia i definitely do. Samantha winter hasnt even been that bad. Either were wimps or its that time of year. Brian wait until its snowing on st. Patricks day. Samantha i sure hope not.

Your bus stop forecast looking good. 30, no need for the umbrella. You may need the big puffy coat, though. I dont think youll need it this afternoon. Mid to upper 40s for the ride home, and a 90 chance of its going to be so nice. The clouds thicken up throughout the day, but we start off nice and clear and then tonight we are cloudy. Now, if you have plans tonight, dinner plans or youre doing some shopping this evening after work making a quick run to the gym or the sun is staying out a little later, so maybe youre going to go for a long walk or run after work. You will not get rained on and wont get snowed on. After 4 00 in the morning, move in. If you work a late shift and maybe you dont get off until 5 00, 6 00 in the morning, you may be driving through some rain. Lets go through future view here for this middle of the week weather alert. Rain is going to move in early tomorrow morning from our south. Remember, after 4 00, and through the morning commute will be contending with areas of rain. All the green you see here, widespread showers for that morning drive. Mid daye commute were tealing with rain, and it may be heavy from time to time. A little during the afternoon, likely towards mid to late afternoon, but then some additional showers potentially mixing with snow are possible overnight as we start to get colder air coming in. Then throughout the Morning Hours of your thursday we transition over from a wintery mix to all snow, and we could see some accumulations here. Rain totals, im thinking an inch to inch and a half on wednesday. And then snow totals on thursday, well a lot can happen between now and then. Were still closely monitoring the track of the store, so, of course, that would have an impact on your totals. Well go broad view right now and give you an early guess. 1 to 4 inches for thursday. Again, stay tuned because that is subject to change depending on the track of that storm. Friday lakeeffect takes over mainly in the snowbelt. Weekend is looking good. I am so happy we were able to bump those temperatures up for the weekend, because last week, weekend was going to be cold. Not looking like that anymore.
