@ @ thankthrough 9:00 and even @before things become scattered. @if you're just tuning in and @joining us, overnight, while @you were sleeping, we now have @a winter weather advisory @that's in place from toledo to @sandusky. @loraine is included for @freezing rain mixing in. @even in spots we're not seeing @the winter weather advisory,

@it falls as rain and freezes @when it hits the surface. @it's hard to detect until it @happens. @that's why it's hard to detect @until it happens, as far as the @commute goes. @>> most of this is happening @around toledo at this point. @akron and canton and wooster @through medina. @west and east suburbs, rain is @moderate, and it will be be @heavy at times. @it's not just the rainy weather @we're talking about. @it's going to be snowy weather. @closer to the lake shore and @west of the city is where we're @seeing temperatures a little @closer to freezing. @that's why freezing rain @exists. @dani is always great adding to @these maps so we know what to @expect. @>> we're getting reports of @accidents in the akron area.

@i'm going to tweet that out at @wkyc. @you need to be prepared to @adjust to the rain. @slow down and give yourself @extra time. @now, here's the drive time on @71, if you're traveling 71 @north between 271 and the @turnpike. @it's a 12-minute commute. @give yourself extra time. @john? @ cleanup efforts are @expected to recover in parts of @louisiana that were hit hard by @strong thunderstorms and @possible tornadoes. @at least two people died when a @suspected tornado hit a mobile @home park in st. james parish. @it's believed more than 7 @tornadoes swept through the

@accused also of using those @charity donations to make @mortgage payments, as far as @buying meals and entertainment. @he served as the cleveland @peacemaker alliance. @federal prosecutors also claim @he filed false documents with @the irs. @if viced, of course, the next @step would be sentencing. @according to the u.s. @attorney's office, it will be @after sentencing guidelines and @factors that are unique to this @case. @coming up in the next half @hour, i will let you know what @else is expected at the federal @courthouse today and who is @expected to speak in front of @our cameras after today's @arraignment. @live here, tiffany tarpley, @channel 3 news. @>> a warning this morning from @the lind hurst fire department @about exploding e cigarettes.

@plus, a look ahead at super @tuesday and what presidential @candidates are doing to prepare @for it. @>> hi, hollie. @we're halfway through the week, @and we have a busy weather day. @heavy at times. @maybe a few rumbles of thunder @before this day is through. @we're going to be in the low @50s later. @we have live team weather @coverage. @greg and i will be tracking it @in the next couple of days. @this is where ialert comes in @handy. @if there's any closings or @delays, you will know about @them instantly. @a live look. @this is coming down. @this is pretty similar to what @most of you are seeing out your @window as you wake up this fine @wednesday. @let us know what it's like in @your neighborhood as you wake

@ @ welcome back. @5:11. @here is what you're going to @see when you get outside this @morning. @live pictures here. @rain is coming down pretty @good. @this is going to be the big @story of our day. @just a messy morning. @hollie and greg are herement @they're going to talk about the @rain. @we have another surprise @coming. @>> now to decision 2016. @donald trump heads into super @tuesday claiming victory in @three states so far. @he swept the nevada caucuses @last night. @they're still looking at votes. @we don't know who came in @second place behind him. @tracy potts is going to study @this until this thing gets @done. @then we're already looking @ahead to the next ones on march @1st. @>> exactly. @super tuesday. @a lot of people are focused on @that. @including the candidates while @those republicans out in nevada @still count the rest of their @votes this morning.

@to find out who is getting @second place. @donald trump is taking the @majority of the delegates @there. @>> it is going to be an amazing @two months. @>> donald trump is already @looking ahead to super tuesday @after his victory in nevada. @people standing in line for @hours. @>> how long have you been @waiting? @>> about two hours. @>> entrance polls show trump @scoring high. @>> because we need change, and @we need trump. @we really do. @>> second place is still a @tossup this morning and so is @super tuesday. @12 states, including texas, @home of ted cruz. @>> you look at those super @tuesday states. @they like their guns too. @>> the midwest gets their @chance to vote. @>> we're even going to campaign

@everyone. too far? @is that too much? @>> what i wanted to do. @polls show john kasich @averaging in -- place with @donald trump still the leader. @>> it's such a big prize for @the republicans because they @have more than 600 delegates @decided that day. @>> that's when we'll find out @who is the real contender and @who is dropping out, obviously, @after super tuesday. @ 5:13. @let's talk weather. @>> it's another calm day in the @weather center. @>> lately, yes. @should we take a really deep @breath before we just start @going. @>> everyone is getting the same @thing this morning. @there's no specific place to @track. @if you're watching us, it's @raining. @>> and you might have some @freezing rain mixing in with @spots. @you will talk about this coming @in.

@and the bus stop is going to be @a soaker. @so make sure you have your rain @gear, kids, and your umbrellas @and that is all stuff. @i would layer it up. @the breezy, wet weather, we're @talking highs, it's still going @to be one of those damp, raw @kind of days. @5:14 right now. @and, man, this is a weather @roller coaster. @we have the rain and potential @of freezing rain this morning. @rain is going to be heavy at @times. @that's going to be an issue. @rain and snow tomorrow, that's @something he's going to talk @more about in a moment. @heavy rain possible through @9:00 and noon. @i think it will become more @scattered after that. @even into the low 50s today. @we're all going to end up in @the upper 40s at the very @least. @and you're all going to need @some extra patience. @the winter weather advisory @issued overnight, this is new,

@it's not to say that we won't @see a little freezing rain. @temperatures are pretty close @to the freezing mark. @near 40. @as greg said, i mean, this is @not a matter of who's seeing @rain, who's not? @you all are. @this is a massive system we've @been tracking for several days. @it has moved in. @we've been reporting rain in @akron, canton, and mansfield is @really getting heavy rain. @now we're seeing it through all @of our lake shore counties as @well. @you can see the heavy rains in @mansfield. @don't be surprised if you hear @a rumble of thunder through @sandusky and east into @cleveland. @we have the wet weather too. @as we track and bring you up to @the point where we see the @transition of snow. @this is 9:13 this morning. @everyone is asking timing, @timing, timing.

@that's really busy out on the @roads. @things get scattered this @afternoon, greg, as we've been @saying. @we've got this round two with @transition to snow about this @time tomorrow. @>> tomorrow morning is a whole @different story around @northeast ohio. @let me show you the ingredients @coming in from the west and @southwest. @cold air in canada. @we're seeing some of those @effects. @if you're traveling to the west @today, i-90 between chicago and @ft. @wayne, we've got blizzard @warnings up in northwest @indiana. @be very careful. @low visibility and heavy snow. @some of that, not the blizzard @itself will work its way into @northeast ohio. @we're on the warm side of the @storm. @as we go through the overnight, @the cold front moves by. @look at that temperature @tomorrow in cleveland falling @back to the low 30s, that @starts to transition to snow.

@here is what we're looking at. @2-4 inches in many places, so @you will be driving in the @morning. @it will be okay in some towns. @heavyweightheavy, wet snow too. @>> greg and i will be here @again and tomorrow it will be @the snowflakes we're tracking. @it's all about this rainy @weather. @again, please be aware with @this freezing rain potential @this morning. @it's really hard to detect. @just know that there could be @some icy spots for early this @morning. @tomorrow we've got the @transition to snow. @we're planning on a good amount @of accumulation for all of you. @this is not just an east side @thing. @temperatures in the upper 30s @to start and then dropping. @it will be chilly with some @leftover lake effect snow @showers possible, mainly on @friday.

@we'll need a breather at that @point. @time check is 5:17 here is dani @with your drive. @good morning to you. @we will all be facing the rain @during the morning commute. @we already have a big traffic @alert for those of you who @travel in summit county. @greg and hollie said they were @the first to get the rain. @the road is closed between @akron peninsula and north -- @the you need to get around @this, you can go ahead and take @west steel corner road. @it will add time to your @commute. @in fact, you will want add time @to your commute this morning @because i don't want you in an @accident. @tune into our partners at total @traffic. @back to you. @>> all right.

@ investigators will be on @the scene of an explosion in @seattle, washington. @>> deputies right now don't @think foul play is involved. @>> no, they don't think foul @play is involved, but they're @looking for the cause of the @explosion that killed a home. @it blew out windows of a nearby @school. @take a look at that video. @deputies found the bodies of @the couple. @the blast was so powerful @officials received 911 calls @from 25 miles away. @ ramone castro, the older @brother of fidel castro has @died. @the two looked very much alike @and ramone was often mistaked @for his brother, but he @preferred farming, not like @armed revolution like his @siblings. @ramone castro was 91 years old. @ honda's chief executive

@there will be no financial @bailout for takata. @they're involved in the crisis @with the airbags that explode. @honda doesn't want to bail out @the company but want to find @the cause of the problem. @139 people have been injured @and several killed by the @airbags. @ so there's a weiner war. @burger king wants their grilled @hot dog menu. @now they have a new competitor. @7-11. @the convenient store chain is @launching a hot dog bill of @rights, telling customers that @chili cheese is free. @7-11 sells it for $1.99.

@but the chili cheese is $2. @the weiner war is going on. @>> maybe some french fries. @>> one, two, three, four, i @declare a weiner war. @>> is that how that goes? @>> yeah, along with a song. @ when you get sick, you want @to feel better quickly. @>> there's old wives tales that @you need to stay away from that @are said to cause the flu. @>> get an antiviral medicine @within 48 hours. @it can shorten the course of @the flu. @as we heard, getting the flu @shot will make the virus easier @to endure. @>> another thing. @don't go stand out in the rain. @>> cold rain. @>> hollie is tracking our rain @turning into snow. @we'll have all of it for you,

@ @the boss was in cleveland last @night. @we heard springsteen gave a @shootout to pittsburgh before @remembering he was in @cleveland. @that's like saying he's from @new york. @we wouldn't do that. @>> all right. @>> when you get the flu, you @better. @there's some old wives tales he @should not do. @have you ever heard about @sitting sitting sitting sitting @sitting sitting sitting in a @sauna to kill a virus? @you can suffer from heat stroke

@using menthol or eucalyptus, it @will make you breathe better @but it won't shorten the @sickness. @>> hollie, a lot of people are @getting tick. @out. @>> 'tis the season. @>> and the changes in the @weathered ad to the way you @feel, not necessarily make you @feel, but common sense. @rain is moving in and coming in @point. @we're expecting rain to be @heavy at times through this @morning's commute, into the @midday and becoming more @scattered. @could even hear a rumble of @thunder. @freezing rain is mixing in. @that's all part of the same, @huge storm system that is @making headlines all across the @south. @more tracking coming up. @it won't be after the rain. @back to you guys. @>> thanks, hollie. @the republican caucus results @are coming in. @they came in while you were @sleeping.

@in our morning rush. @tiffany? @>> reporter: he was once in @charge of nonprofits designed @to keep kids away from crime. @now he's facing federal charges @of his own. @coming up, i will let you know

@ @we continue to follow for you. @police on the scene of a deadly @shooting on garden valley @avenue near east 79th. @we're told a 29-year-old man @was shot. @as soon as we get more @information on this, we'll pass @it on to you. @>> reggie rutger is expected to @face a federal judge in court @this afternoon. @he's facing two charges in

@donations for his own use. @he was in charge of two local @nonprofits set up to help youth @stay away from a crime. @according to federal @prosecutors, for at least the @past five years, he was @following a criminal past. @afterwards the acting u.s. @attorney is making herself @available for interviews. @>> while you were sleeping, a @beaming donald trump celebrated @his victory. @last night trump pulling in 46% @of the vote, coming in second, @marco rubio with 24%. @trump drew his biggest cheers @when he proclaimed he had won @the hispanic vote. @>> governor kasich has set the @date for the state address. @it will be at the people's bank @theater in southern ohio.

@road. @john, strong storms are being @blamed for at least three @deaths in the south. @at least 7 tornadoes hit @mississippi and louisiana @yesterday afternoon and late @last night a confirmed tornado @hit pensacola, florida. @you can see the strong winds @ripped this apartment building @apart. @thousands are without power in @the area. @one man died when a twister hit @his mobile home and two more @people were killed when a storm @hit an rv park. @>> puts it in perspective. @it's the same storm system, but @with the severity of the @weather and what we're dealing @with is a whole lot of rain. @you're waking up to what is a @soaker of a wednesday. @it's going to be a lot of @patience. @rain is going to be heavy at @times, maybe freezing rain @mixing in. @temperatures will warm to the @40s to 50 degrees today. @it's 5:32.

@if you're tuning in. @while you were asleep, @winter weather advisory that's @been posted for areas west of @cleveland, including loraine @county, back toward sandusky. @it's because of freezing rain. @so we have that possibility, @and even outside of the @advisory area for the west and @east suburbs, we could see a @very brief period of freezing @rain. @right now, most of that is @showing up in toledo. @we're not seeing it or getting @any reports at hopkins or @akron, canton for that matter. @it's just rain. @it's heavy rain. @look at mansfield right now, @getting soaked, poured on. @and this is going to slow you @down. @it's obvious. @it's not like it's one county @or a couple of counties and @every one of you being impacted @by this weather. @you see the wet weather and @temperatures are crucial. @most of us are mid to upper 40s @in doverville philadelphia.

@cold air moves in tomorrow. @we have snow to talk about. @first, dani has your commute to @talk about. @yes, it's going to be a slow @one. @we're going to give yourself @extra time. @we have a big accident in @cuyahoga falls, akron area. @for those of you who usually @take west bath, you can take @west steals corner road west of @north bass. @we're all dealing with the @rain, so we're not seeing big @delays right now, but you want @to give yourself extra time so @you can slow down. @take a look at this picture. @77 at arlington road. @you can see a slick drive here. @so, please, be careful. @back to you. @>> okay, dani, thank you. @ a woman was killed as she @walked across the highway.

@she was hit by a truck and @killed. @tonya johnson was an 18--year @veteran of the canton fire @department. @police say no charges will be @filed against her husband at @this time. @ a reward is being offered @this morning to find the person @who set a pit bull on fire. @the dog was doused with lighter @fluid and then set on fire and @left to die on a road in @mansfield. @the dog suffered second degree @burns and is now receiving @medical help. @anyone with information is @office. @a rescue group has named the @dog haden. @ two protests are planned @events. @the first one outside the @intercontinental hotel where @cocoa toby cosgrove will @deliver his address at the @address.

@hospital and the plans for a @family health center. @maureen? @>> all right. @lynna, thanks. @ we start with breaking news @into the newsfeed. @nepal. @the wreckage was found in the @mountains of nepal. @reports say all 23 people on @board are dead. @the flight was supposed to be @18 minutes long. @it took off from a resort town @and was headed to a town where @tourists go into mountainous @areas. @ listen to this, johnson and @johnson will pay $72 million in @damages to the family of a @woman who died from ovarian @cancer. @her cancer was linked to her @use of the company's talcum @based baby powder. @studies have linked the product @to ovarian cancer, and there @are current dozens of pending @lawsuits, saying the company

@it could cause cancer. @ kids may have a hard time @learning math and spell -- may @have a better time learning @matt and spelling if they step @away from their desk and @exercise. @after two years, kids did @better than other children on @spelling tests and performed @faster and better on math @tests. @the increases in scores were @equal to four extra months of @learning. @>> wow. @>> so if you put that in mind, @have your kids jump around @every few minutes. @>> that's impressive. @>> see, that's funny. @in my day, we did that, and we @got in trouble. @genius. @>> do you know how many times i @got sent to the principal @following that advice. @>> thanks, mo. @we're going to try this. @something for school today. @ the indians are jumping @around in goodyear, arizona. @the plan is to have an april to @remember, not just a september. @we're going the take you to @arizona, next in sports.

@do your job? @next, what a new white house @report says about the future of @robots and what kinds of jobs @they could be taking over. @>> scary thought.

@5:40 right now. @the rain is coming down in @montrose right now around 77 @and route 18. @all right. @so hollie and greg are tracking @two-round punch. @first we see the rain and then @the freezing rain, and then @comes the snow. @they will be along with the @full forecast, coming up. @>> could we one day be replaced @by robots? @according to a white house @report, some of us maybe. @a white house report warns @those making less than $23 an @hour have a chance of having @their job taken over by robots. @for workers who earn more than @$20 an hour, there's only a 31% @chance of losing their jobs. @if you're paid double the $24 @there's only a -- chance a @robot will take your job.

@robotto's take. @ look at that. @how about that shot. @how about the fact that that's @coming from a 7'0" center. @josh henderson had only @attempted three-pointers in his @career, and he hits that one @from 80 feet right before the @half. @after this shot went in. @the florida gators were done @for the nite. @they lose. @87-74. @the indians are known for their @very good septembers. @they're also known for their @slow aprils. @that's one of the goals to fix @this year if the tribe is going @to win the american league @central. @they're under way in goodyear. @dave chudowsky is with the @indians. @>> reporter: we look forward to @the indians spring training @opener coming up on march 1st. @yesterday was day number one @for the entire team to @practice. @terri francona got the guys @together for the first meeting @of the season. @>> it is fun to get together as

@day that marks the beginning of @all of us together, you know, @trying to see if we can do @something that's really @difficult. @all 30 teams are doing the same @thing. @you may do it differently, but @they're all trying to do the @same thing. @and we're -- that's a pretty @big challenge. @>> the indians' manager also @put his guys to the test. @it was the position players @endurance test. @in an upset, a nonroster @invitee, lucas beat lynndor. @>> i knew i had to do @something. @>> i will see you again @tomorrow morning. @in goodyear, dave chudowsky. @back to you in cleveland. @>> look at those blue skies. @when it comes to winning, 90

@let's discuss this on social @media. @can this indians' team win 90 @game this is year? @my take? @i'm not sure they have to. @i think the central will be @close and competitive, but i @want your thoughts. @tweet me your thoughts. @90 is also the key number in @the weather department because @that will mean winter is over. @>> it will. @>> when is that going to @happen? @>> very true, john. @you hear this, out of the two @days, tomorrow is going to be @the one that's trickier, as far @as travel goes. @maybe even after some of us @have gotten to work or school. @that could make for a tricky @evening commute. @everyone has the same thing. @>> at least it is rain in most @cases. @the tricky part about today, if @we see freezing rain mix in. @it's kind of a little bit of @everything, quite honestly. @we've got the rain. @that always slows things down. @it is mainly wet weather to @report.

@a brief period of it. @the rain is no transition we @were just talking about. @greg is going to expand on @that. @yep, it looks like we'll be @shoveling out a bit. @it is going to be very mild and @the warm part of this massive @storm system, rain, heaviest @through the morning drive into @the mid-morning. @by midday. @things will start to become @scattered. @that will include into the @afternoon. @we do have this winter weather @advisory advisory in place for @at least a brief period of @freezing rain. @this is new since you've gone @to sleep. @this is something to just be @aware of this morning. @again, really hard to detect, i @think, is the biggest thing. @temperatures hovering in the @30s. @right now, it looks like most @of the freezing rain potential @is in ohio you. @era all getting poured on is @the moral of this story. @thank you for all of your @tweets. @always very helpful. @i know it's timing and this is

@because it says we're leaving @for work and school and getting @our days together. @as we do tracking, you will see @through 10:00 a.m. @we're talking about moderate @rains along the lake shore and @then scattered but still @evening. @once we get into tonight, greg, @we're going to start to see the @transition over to snow. @>> it's all about the track of @the storm, hollie, which is @centered down towards memphis. @this is going to pass very @close to cleveland later on @tonight. @cold air to the north. @the setup is already starting @to get together. @we've got blizzard warnings in @portions of northwest indiana. @winter storm warnings elsewhere @from portions of michigan, @indiana, down toward illinois. @here is what we're looking at. @the area of low pressure tracks @toward us today. @we're going to be on the east @side of the storm throughout @the afternoon. @maybe even some thunderstorms @with that cold front tonight. @as that moves by, temperatures

@we're going to start off the @day in the upper 30s and 40s @and fall back to the low 30s, @maybe upper 20s as winds pick @up. @that's going to change the rain @to snow and probably get some @lake enhancement to the snow as @well as the wind picks up out @of the north and northwest. @here's what we're looking at @potentially. @this will all fall during work @and school today. @maybe as much as three to five @inches of snow in some @locations. @it will be a heavy wet snow, a @more difficult day to get @around tomorrow. @>> such a difficult day. @a lot of it is preparing and @knowing ahead of time. @i think the commute tomorrow, @we could really very well have @a lot of wet roads since the @transition is just starting. @50 around there. @rain, freezing rain possible at @times this morning. @rain will be heavy at times. @your window nation seven-day @shows the rain to snow for your

@temperatures will be upper 30s @later in the day and falling. @we're upper 30s with lake @effect snow chances early @friday and then it looks like @really a great weekend before @we get into more chances before @rain and snow early next week. @time for some doggone weather. @it's 5:48. @we have baxter and abby to @introduce you to. @>> look at that. @>> don't you love, first of @all, the opposite head tilt is @perfect in this photo. @they're two pugs. @they share a chair as they wait @for breakfast every day. @they are the most adorable @things i eve seen. @laurel, thank you so much for @sending in a picture. @baxter and abby. @>> thanks, laurel. @>> thank you, hollie. @ okay. @time to start rolling out the @gluttonous food that will be @served at ballparks this year. @the minor league, the wisconsin

@choose between having a @cheeseburger and a slice of @pizza. @the meat lovers pizza burger @will have four beef patties @wrapped inside a pepperoni, @bacon and sausage pizza. @the cost is $22 and whatever it @does to your arties, right? @>> i'm looking at the website. @the other thing is they're @taking the bismark donut and @stuffing it with pulled pork. @>> you know, just slap it on my @thighs. @it would be a lot faster. @>> we're road tripping there. @we're going to appleton, @wisconsin. @ coming up, ways to save. @>> matt will get us a good deal @on the way. @>> i will with pleasure. @coming up after the break, we @put an end to your back pain. @one of my favorite tv doctors @is going the help get rid of @your back pain for 20 bucks. @and you can take the deal with @you in the car.

@ while we're navigating this @commute. @be reminded that west bass road @is closed because of a crash. @i have detours posted on @wkyc.com/traffic. @now coming up at 6:02, we'll @take a live look outside west

@ @taller. @more poised. @i can attribute this to a $20 @bargain that can actually get @rid of your back pain. @i reached out to a physical @therapist, doctors. @there was one deal that came @out on top. @take a look. @>> matt, thanks for sending @this orthopedic cushion. @people come to me because they @have a lot of back problems. @it usually teams from not
