radar. i want to show you the clearing that's working its way in from the north and west. it's going to do a few things to us. it's going to be allow for some nice star gazing but you better wear the coats because once the skies clear out our temperatures are really going to drop, and we've had trouble getting up to the 50-degree mark, in fact, most of us have not done it. along the lakeshore, downtown cleveland hit 50 at 3 p.m. but look at this we've been stuck in the 40s, some of middle 40s all afternoon long and again as the skies clear out watch these temperatures they're going to fall. we're still mainly cloudy through 10 p.m. in most spots and then boom, after midnight clearing skies, mid-30s upper 30s for your day to begin tomorrow. so coats definitely. i'll tell you when there's a wap coming in next. still ahead no matter what happened in the election roughly half of the american population

citizen choose to use it. america is about the people and the campaigning and voting process. >> but that's the nature of campaigns, it is hard and sometimes contention and noisy. what we must keep in mind is the process, whether it is cheers or tears at the outcome. it is american democracy, president obama spoke of that today saying in so many words any preside occupies the office for a while, democracy calls for a transition . >> the peaceful transition of power is one of the hall marks of our democracy and over the next few months wore going to show that to the world. >> democracy a word which means the people rule, the people spoke, bringing tears for some cheers for others. now, comes the legal and peaceful transition of power, this land

we've got 48 in cleveland, 46 in mentor and this is with clouds. beginning to see skies clearing out here so temperatures are really going to fall off quickly late tonight and tomorrow. winds are subside ago little bit. we're gusting upwards of 10 to 15 miles per hour. so it is a little bit breezy. let's show you the 24-hour temperature change from yesterday at this time until this moment. we're 14 degrees colder in 24 hours i were yesterday at this time in akron. 13 for wooster, 10 in ashtabula, 18 degrees cold other youngstown than this time yesterday afternoon. so it was a mild election day, the coolness has arrived. now, here's the cloud cover on the back edge of that system that brought us rain yesterday afternoon and evening and even some sprinkles and light rain showers during the morning hours, but here's the high

high pressure, clear skies chicago, green bay st. louis and even western ohio, toledo has clear skies and all that work its way in during the overnight. here's where we have frost advisories in effect. so again all the way down into tennessee frost possible overnight tonight. so the chilly air coming in from the north around the backside of the high. the high brings us sunshine tomorrow and milder temperatures but it's short lived another front, watch it dropping in, here is isolated shower in one or 2 spots but behind that for saturday another day in the mid and maybe upper 40s if we are lucky for saturday. so 38 tonight, skies clearing out it will remain chilly now, near the lakeshore you'll hang in the 40s, near the lakeshore but inland areas lower and middle 30s for some areas around mansfield, wooster. 60 tomorrow mainly sunny mild and breezy.

blow back from my neighbor's yard into my yard. 34 tonight, partly cloudy and chilly for akron, canton. tomorrow 59 mild sunny and breezy. friday cooling down 51 mainly cloudy, saturday if we're lucky 50 degrees but i'm thinking 45 to 5 is a good range. sunday your best day of the weekend we'll go 57 and 50s through the middle of next week. >> all right. thank you. here's what's coming up at 6 we'll have late breaking det presidential election. >> and we're focussing on other local stories developing right now including layoffs in lawrence town just how people people are affected and why gm says it must make the cut. >> plus concern grows for a missing woman who's been missing for weeks now. the fbi is taking action. >> but first when we return stranded without a spare, month cars are being sold without that

you'll be able to continue on your way and won't be wrestling in a spare late at night in an isolated area. if you're buying a car that doesn't come with a spare and like one just ask. sometimes they can sell you one. you just need to be sure it fits securely in your trunk. donald trump, hillary clinton, richard dunkin. >> a local man makes a push to be president over appeared over again. new at 6 we get his take on the make a 5th run for office. >> and bridging this deep divide we dig into trump's stunning win and what it says about the state of our country. news 5 at 6
