I slept in any car and shelters. Tia a College Graduate from Cleveland State university. Its why the mission is to help teens who arent adopted and instead are left with no one. Using the power of instagram to shine a light on the issue and bring awareness. What age did you go i foster care . 13, and i went to a Family Member after that. I went back into foster care when i was 16. Tia like this young mother of four. She aged out of foster care. Now 22 years old, she eventually fell on really hard times.

We are rolling right along through the work week, and i today. You wont need that. That hourbyhour chance of rain from sunup to sundown is zero. No showers expected, but again, it is a little chilly. Good morning to you in cleveland. 32 is our current temperature, but the wind is out of the northwest at about 12 Miles Per Hour sustained. So its going to feel just a little colder than it actually is. It feels like the mid20s in cleveland. Its actually in the mid20s in akron this morning. Not much of a breeze there. Do substantially lighter than they have been the last several days. You know, over the weekend it was super windy, still a little blustery yesterday. Today those winds start to relax, but it is still cold. 7 00, most of us are stuck in the upper 20s and lower 30s, and by midday we should hit about 38, 41 this afternoon. That will be your forecast high for the day. That will happen at about 3 00. Partly sunny skies is your our maps today or tonight. Tomorrow rain is looking like a good bet. Now, if youll be traveling in the morning around this area, youre not going to have to worry about any rain. I think almost up through midday we should be just fine, but by about 11 00, 12 00, thats when those precipitation chances start increasing, and i do think that as the rain moves in by late morning and early tomorrow afternoon, even a little sleet or snow could mix in. I dont expect any accumulations, any accumulating snow or anything like that. As temperatures warm into the afternoon to about 41, well change over to all rain, and that rain is going to hang around through wednesday night. If the system kind of lags a little bit, moves a little slower, we could even see some showers on thanksgiving morning. So prepare to deep fry that turkey outside in the rain. I think most of it should be out of here by the afternoon, so if you want to play a little groundmy be wet on thursday, i think we should be mostly dry by the afternoon. Yet another system in the books for friday. That brings us light rain during the day, so my black friday shoppers and i am right there with you because im always looking for a good deal, were going to be shopping in some rain on friday. It should be pretty light, and then the weekend, well, well start that off with a little light rain, too. Sunday, though, laura, looks great. Laura heads up, too. Today is a better day of travel than tomorrow. Sam is talking about the weather and talking about later on in the day tomorrow, 11 00 tomorrow. Tomorrow the worst time to be on the road for traveling is 3 00 in the afternoon. So if you can get out before the rain and before the heavy traffic, thats going to be your best bet tomorrow. If you get out on the road today, things are free and clear out there. We have clear roads for you 90 going all the way across the city of cleveland. I dont see any real issues for you and nothing slowing you down. Were still far from rush hour. The akron area is moving smoothly. 77 northbound from canton to akron on time.
