the cavs don't need to change a thing. three games ahead of the pack in the east this. team was two teams away from a championship last year with only lebron. golden state is better. by playing the system, the cavs are peter too. one tweak of the roster can destroy what you built. i say let the whole season ride on one seven-game series. the best team doesn't win it. there's bad bounces, and you have to have some luck involved too. don't mess this up. i'll take my chances with this cavaliers team. tweet me your thoughts at john wkyc. throw it over to greg now. >> doing the weather and walking over there, it's too hard work this morning. so i'm going to use my unicub to get to the green screen this morning. this is so much easier.

>> down to 224 here in portions of stark county over toward akron, down toward -- up toward barberton. seeing a couple of snow showers. lewisville, you're getting a burst. another 5-10 minutes of snow and then it's out of here. be careful as you're walking out the door this morning. your steps may be icy. through the afternoon with a northwest wind kicking up, notice that doesn't do too much. 30 degrees by 5:00 this afternoon with just mostly cloudy skies. then the good news as we head through the rest of the forecast approaching the weekend. this little area of low pressure is moving away. it's the system behind that when you're really going to change things later this week. that starts thursday night. this tracks well to the north. with a track to the north, that means we get to be on the milder side of this one. strong southerly winds kick in

temperature just starts flying thursday night, friday night into the afternoon. we'll go from the teens thursday morning. maybe 40 degrees warmer by friday afternoon. snow showers this afternoon. maybe a burst or two especially early afternoon and the whole system shifts out. we really get cold overnight. i think we'll see a lot of teens early thursday morning. thursday afternoon, a beautiful day. temperatures in the low to mid- 30s, a lot of sunshine and the southerly wind returning by the afternoon, and that really changes things as we go through the window nation extended forecast. windy with a temperature near 50. saturday in the 40s. sunday in the 40s as well. we'll look at much wilder weather. guys? >> we have doggone weather this morning. >> i've got it. >> you got it.

so a lot of the nurses, doctors are here overnight doing things, and so we thought it would be cool to surprise them with the random acts of kindness. >> their kindness didn't stop inside the hospital. they also offered pizza to those outside. they're headed to university hospital to spread the kindness. >> they plan to do one random act of kindness every hour today. >> such a great group. we're lucky to have them in our area. >> one every hour. >> pay it forward. >> thank you for that, maureen. coming up, matt granite has great deals for you all the time, but he also listens to you. it's my most unproductive day of the entire year with the story i'm going to bring you after the break, i should not get paid for my work today. dani, what's going on road wise.
