@a big warm up on the way snow @showers today a better sunday @on the way for you and much @warmer in the week ahead. @you can see here radar showing @you some light very light snow @showers all the way from about @cleveland over toward toledo. @we are going to continue in @this vain for most of the day @today. @upper 20s to low 30s across the @area. @we are not going to change @those temperatures too @dramatically today. @we are going to make it into @the middal 30s. @rain mixing in with some of the @snow later on today. @temperatures very gently rise @but tomorrow the sun is going @to come out and beyond that, a @very nice warm up ahead. @so maureen, have faith. @there is great weather on the @way. @ sounds good. @we'll be checking back in with @you. @thanks so much kerry. @ bernie sanders brings his @campaign back to cleveland @today. @he is holding a community @conversation this afternoon.

@3's alyssa raymond. @i know the set up is happening @this morning. @big crowds could be coming in @just a few hours really. @the sun up is around 73:06:78 @that is when they are letting @equipment. @this doesn't start until 2:00 @this afternoon. @this will be sanders's third @time to northeast ohio ahead of @the primary on march 15th. @his second time in less than 10 @days. @everything begins around 2:00 @this afternoon here at the @baptist church. @they are calling it a community @conversation. @and it is invitation only. @sanders will stop at his new @campaign office first. @it opened last week in downtown @cleveland. @last thursday sanders brought @his campaign to berea. @he told a big crowd he can win @the buckeye state. @tom sat down with sanders one-

@say he is fighting for an @economy that works for all, not @just the 1%. @>> i would say 80 or 90% of the @people in ohio didn't know who @bernie sanders was, let alone @what i stood for. @in the last week or 10 days @there were three national polls @having us in the lead over @hillary clinton. @it is fair to say objectively @all over this country we have a @lot of momentum. @ a recent survey conducted @between the new hampshire and @south carolina primaries showed @a tight race between sanders @and clinton had separated the @two by a percentage point with @sanders out in front. @sanders and clinton will both @speak at the 2016 legacy dinner @in columbus this sunday before @the primary. @this will be the first time the @two appeared together in ohio. @ohio is a winner take allstate @meaning the primary winner @takes the delegates.

@ we are 135 days away from @the rnc and the biggest wrench @in the works could ultimately @come from within. @party members are bracing for @the possibility of a brokered @or contested convention. @it could happen if none of the @gop candidates get the 1237 @delegates needed to win the @nomination. @>> in my view a brokered @convention ain't going to @happen and if the washington @deal makers try to steal the @nomination from the people, i @think it would be a disaster. @>> the last time the rnc was @contested was 1976, when @president gerald ford fought @off ronald reagan for the @nomination in kansas city. @ the city of cleveland @continues to prepare for the @rnc just in case crowds get @rowdy. @leaders are looking to buy riot @control suits, collapsible @batons plus bags. @the money to pay for that would
