@ @ right now at 6:30, welcome @back, nice to have you with us @this morning. @we're talking a @little bit of snow again today @in the forecast. @hollie will have all the details @coming up in just a moment. @first as you're waking up, @here's a look at the stories @we're following for you. @ a man is in the hospital @after being hit by a car on @cleveland's east side. @ems says the man was hit at east @90 and third in westchester last @night and taken to university @hospital in critical condition. @we're waiting to hear back from @police about the driver involved @in this accident. @ university of akron students @may soon get a little extra cash @in their pockets. @the university has announced it @will refund more than $4 million @to students. @it's part of a fee that was @raised after the state capped it

@students may get up to $238 for @two semesters, depending on the @number of credit hours and how @the fee was paid. @ and cedar point's newest @rollercoaster just about ready, @crews put the final piece of @raven's track in place, look at @this! @i just raised my hand for some @reason. @including the longest, tallest @and fastest dive coaster at one @point, riders will stare down @that 90 degree bend in the @track, if you want to experience @this for yourself, cedar point @opens for this season, may 7. @yeah. @>> mm-hmm. @>> i'm not going first. @i know it's going to be a great @ride. @>> i'm not going second. @>> hollie? @ladies first. @>> that's nice. @i hope we all have ear muffs for @when i'm on that ride. @[ laughter ] @ okay. @let's take a look at your @forecast, which is going to get @a little more challenging later @today. @but you know, in the scheme of

@northeastern ohio, this is by no @means going to be snow-mageddon, @we're forecasting scattered snow @by this evening, dry right now, @peeks of sunshine to start. @how about a 6:58 sunrise before @7:00 a.m. @today. @mid 30s for highs, 10 degrees @below normal, should be below @40s, a clipper system moving on @later on. @already showing signs of being @pretty scattered in its @intensity. @as it impacts illinois, indiana, @as we track and move through the @day, 10:00 a.m., dry as can be, @we're seeing overcast skies more @or less through early afternoon. @but even at 3:00 today, although @there will be scattered snow @showers around, nothing that's @real steady and everywhere. @so, you know, you may or may not @have snow to pick up the kids @fwr school. @in -- from school. @in to the evening chances @increase, and yes, we're @expecting a trace, perhaps up to @an inch of accumulation. @but, like i said i think it's @more of the timing, the concern @than it is the how much.

@danny's always great about @the day. @right now it's dry. @ yes, and the roads are @clear. @a picture of 77 at 480. @we start here, everyone getting @by just fine but i spoke to @independence police and they say @they are responding to a @breakdown on the 480 westbound @ramp to 77 north. @as you are trying to get let's @say in to downtown cleveland but @we're not seeing delays on 480 @west or 77. @also some slowing 71 north @before the inner belt bridge not @your drive. @a little bit of slowing on 42 @but dwen this is add -- again @this is adding about two to @three minute on your commute. @other than that, looking great @on the highways, normal times no @delays, for those trying to get @the lowest gas price in @middlefield at the circle k, @avenue. @again, we post all the lowest

@hats and gloves, cold, around 20 @degrees now. @6:45. @quarter to 7:00, about 15 @minutes till the sunrise this @morning. @we've got a clipper system that @brings us snow later today, @another for art and big warm up @next week, still looking forward @to ha and springtime. @-- to that and springtime. @first things first, snow @potential for later on. @temperatures upper 20s at 9:00. @i think we'll see a little @sunshine in spots this morning @before more cloud cover rolls @in, mid 30s for highs, scattered @snow at 5:00. @scattered is the key word with @this clipper system, already @showing hints of being pretty @scattered in intensity as you @look at the left-hand side of @your television, you can see @it's impacting parts of @illinois, indiana. @this is what we're watching for @later on today. @as far as timing, it looks like @chances will start this @afternoon, not till late in the @afternoon, 11:00 a.m. @dry and @overcast skies. @and then as we get in to the @afternoon, 4:00 today we're @seeing the scattered snow, no @question we'll have slowdowns

@it's more timing than it's going @to be amounts, we think. @but even in to tonight, we'll @continue to see scattered snow @showers then they diminish and @things wind down for our friday. @as we get in to tomorrow @afternoon, we'll see the cloud @cover start to diminish and @sunshine as we at least end the @day. @but, let's take a look at how @much snow we could see later on, @because this is going to have an @impact on those commutes later @in the day, greg? @ that's right, hollie, maybe @not the weather but the reduced @visibility. @take a look on the radar, you @see there, the system way down @to our south and the area that's @headed toward us, out of indiana @and now western ohio pretty @scattered. @as we go through the afternoon, @that's going to be watched and @then the temperatures which @actually by this afternoon will @be above freezing in many @locations, and that means at the @beginning, when this gets @started, many of these @snowflakes will be flying @through the air but just not @making anything, a coating on @the ground. @it won't be sticking.

@through the first half of the @day, i think through the evening @we're okay. @it may be snowing by 5:00, 6:00, @i think much of this will not be @sticking. @it's after that we could see @accumulations after the sunsets @later on this evening. @and here again, the numbers very @light, generally an inch or @less, some of you in some of the @colder spots, higher elevations, @and those of you located farther @west may see some higher @numbers, maybe closer to an inch @to an inch and a half in places @like sandusky, man -- mansfield @over towards norwalk. @and a brighter and i hear much @warmer forecast, hollie. @>> i know, we're so excited! @and with the window nation @seven-day forecast, greg was @just talking about with trace @amounts being the emphasis for @the snow later today and we're @going up to two inches. @but that's really being i think @generous for those areas, west @that greg was just telling you @about. @mid 30s for a high today.

@overcast skies but we'll end the @day brighter. @saturday tracking another system @that will are bring again more @of a wet snow mix. @sunday looks good, seasonal, @beautiful day. @low 40s, partly sunny skies, and @then holy cow! @greg's going to be out running, @you're going to be out at play @grounds with the kids, 50s, low @60s next week and the chance of @precipitation on wednesday of @next week, absolutely be only @rain. @dog gone weather. @and we have hank. @what a name. @look at how cute hank is. @3 years old, a bloodhound. @and resides in strongville. @so sweet! @karen sent this picture in. @if hank doesn't say it all, i @don't know what does, john. @>> a good reminder, we all need @a good nap today. @ coming up after the break, @your top stories and another @check on the weather and traffic @as you head out the door. @but first, the cavs dream team @in studios this morning, dressed @in their 70s gear all in honor @of the special miracle
