projecting all of this to be within the next hour or so, cleveland heights in the next couple of minutes, euclid around, say, 5:10, mentor an lake county in 5:25. leroy at about 5:40, and then just before 6:00 in north madison is when we're expecting the heavier showers and thunderstorms in your neck of the woods. this is round number one. i think around lunchtime we'll see a little lull in activity, even a couple of breaks in the clouds and a few peaks and then by this afternoon there is a very real and present threat that we could see strong to severe storms. we'll talk more about the timing of that for later on this afternoon coming up in the next couple of minutes. maureen, back on over to you >> all right, michael, thank you for those details. now to our top story here. it all started with a disturbing photo from the east liverpool police department posting to social media. maybe you've seen this, showing the true effects of heroin overdoses. then last night in akron police

the owner of mapleside farms says his sons came up with the theme this year form the maze and were told believe land maze is a little easier, but since the home grown hero one was created out of two fields, it might be for the more advanced maze enthusiast. general manager joshua schmidt says the fall fun begins now. >> 311-foot super slide that take us right down into our orchar. of course we have our corn maze, and then pig trains, hay rides, of course, and then we have our jump park and a number of other things. >> also new this season is the billy goat bluff. you can watch these little guys climb up the mountain and mapleside farm is open from 10:00 to 10:00 tonight, and it's princess and pirates weekend, so dressing up is also highly encouraged. now, mo and michael, check this out, the 311-foot super slide josh is wa was talking about. -- joshua was talking about. who did it better?

in washington members of congress sang and prayed on the capitol steps. we all have our own ways of remembering the lives lost that day. this local man pays tribute in a couple of different ways. take a look. for the past five years, bill saban has put this display in his front yard, one flag for every life lost and 50 firefighters' helmets for each state to honor the first responders. >> if we can sit down at the end of the day and lay our head down and say you know what? i did enough today to ma then you did something. >> bill also gives back to our first responders. friday afternoon he delivered pizza to the willowwick firehouse to show his appreciation. sunday night on channel 3 news after the football game, see bill's whole story and why he spent so much time with his display. still ahead this morning, more trouble with samsung. the urgent call for users to stop using the newest phone models. and fighting back, how boxing is helping patients with parkinson's disease.

welcome back. more trouble for samsung this morning. the consumer product safety commission is urging everyone who owns a samsung galaxy note 7 to power them down now and stop using the devices. the warning comes amid recent batteries in the phones catch fire. samsung halted sales of the phones last week. customers who have them can exchange them for another device. an experimental drug for alzheimer's disease is showing early promise. drug maker biojen developed the drug and funded the latest research. the drug was found to significantly reduce plaque in the brain which experts believe play a critical role in the development of alzheimer's. experts are cautious, though, saying the study was too small

benefits. researchershope to have more answers when the study is finished in about three years. and continuing on with your health news, the same sport that many believe contributes to causing parkinson's disease is helping those diagnosed fight back. it's called rock steady boxing. while participants never take a punch, the training is giving them back their lives. senior health correspondent monica robbins takes us to the gym to show us how it works. >>reporter: michelle learned she had parkinson's disease 14 years ago. >> parkinson's has changed every part of my life. >>reporter: at the beginning of the year, she couldn't put on her own lipstick. there was no way she could sweep the floor of her kitchen. the disease robbed her of the ability to make a simple cup of coffee. she spent most of her days in a wheelchair. so how is it possible she can now do this? >> ta-da! >>reporter: she hit the gym.

hitting the heavy bag and left and right jabs at rock steady boxing. husband guy is her corner coach and biggest supporter. >> i couldn't believe that this was the same person that was six months ago couldn't get out of a chair. >>reporter: parkinson's is a neurodegenerateitive disease that gradually gets worse over time. however, research shows movement may reverse symptoms. >> with continuous exercise, they can minimize that, and in many cases for a while, they >> it may be -- i'll come back. >>reporter: not just any movement works. it must exercise both the mind and body an that's where boxing takes a swing >> because they're learning a scale and that scale is really critical to engaging the brain. >>reporter: seeing improvement like michelle's is what gets trainer marie out of bed everyday >> probably because they're not giving into a diagnosis. >>reporter: and michelle is

boxing. i can just see the difference that it's made. >>reporter: monica robbins, channel 3 news. >> the eighth annual parkinson's boot camp takes place today from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the convention center. more than 800 people are expected to attend. rock steady boxing is just one of the many demonstrations planned. just ahead, defending the title, miochit will soon be taking center st what he's doing to prepare for tonight's fight. now here's michael with a check of that forecast. >> maureen, we could see some strong, perhaps even severe storms later on this afternoon. that's why the storm prediction center has put us under an enhanced risk for strong to severe storms mainly between the 3:00 hour and 10:00 hour, already tracking puddles out on the sidewalk for you this morning. we'll talk about when that next round of rain moves on through

the college experience just got better for some students at xavier university. a new pizza atm is now up and running at the cincinnati school. the school has partnered with a french company to install the very first pizza atm in north america. the machines hold 70 pizzas at costs $9 or $10 depending on the toppings. >> where was this when we went to school? >> oh, my goodness. >> you know what i mean? >> i ate so much pizza in college that i probably needed an atm, and yet i did not need an atm. >> right. you definitely kept, like, little caesar's in business for sure. i totally understand. i feel like today might be a good day to grab yourself a pizza and maybe stay inside for a change because with all of

this afternoon, again, i want you to really make sure that you watch things very closely on our wkyc weather app between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. this evening. so, again, strong, perhaps even a few severe storms in the mix. we're also very windy, so on top of the rain you'll certainly notice that wind, and then by tomorrow on sunday not only are we much cooler, but you'll finally notice more sunshine. temperatures currently upper 60lo you right now. you can see where we're seeing those heavier showers and thunderstorms right now. all of this racing towards the northeast at about 40 miles per hour or so. that brings things into mentor by about 5:30. and then around, say, geneva around the 6:00 hour. here's what the bigger picture, though, shows you. so all of this is in conjunction with an area of low pressure and a cold front.

we're seeing some of the storms this morning. but what we're waiting for is this line, it's that cold front that will move through, again, between the 3:00 hour and 10:00 p.m. hour this evening, and with that, that's when we'll see the strong and perhaps even severe storms move into northeast ohio. so something to really make sure that you're watching very closely if you have any plans later on today. for tomorrow, as we mentioned before, we'll be much cooler after that cold front passes. again, much cooler air moving in, and with sunshine. so tomorrow looking a whole lot better in terms of an outdoor day than today. this morning, again still tracking a few of those scattered showers and a few of those thunderstorms. i think that by lunchtime we'll see a little lull in activity, so if you need to get out and about, get a couple of outdoor errands done, go for it. watch what happens at about 3:00 or so, that's when we start to see a few of those heavier showers and thunderstorms begin to develop. and notice that they'll move from the west gradually towards

towards akron-canton, right around the 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. hour is i think when we see the heavy showers and thunderstorms, ashtabula same sort of story. this continues to press on eastward. and i think that by the 9:00 to 10:00 hour most of the heavy stuff begins to thin and fade which is the good news. and it completely moves out of the area during the overnight hours tonight into early tomorrow. we wake up tomorrow morning to more clouds and a couple of isolated sprinkles. tomorrow afternoon wonderful. forecast for today clouds and sunshine with showers and thunderstorms in the mix later on this evening between 3:00 and 10:00 p.m., upper 50s, low- to mid-60s overnight. the seven-day, again, maureen, a very windy afternoon. but look what happens. say good-bye to the 80s, at least for a couple of days. sunday, monday temperatures in the 70s. you are counting down the hours until we get to sunday and those 70s.

go because we know where this is headed. i saw the first tree that i've seen -- >> i know. >> with the leaves changing. >> i was out golfing with my dad a few weeks ago. i saw maybe one leaf change a color. i was, like, it's a sign. >> and i broke out the sweaters when i was on vacation, found those in the closet. we're ready >> brush them off, dust them off, you'll need them. >> thanks, michael. cleveland native and current ufc heavyweight champion will defend his title at the q tonight. our digital producer has a preview before tonight's fight. >>reporter: hello, everyone i'm outside of quicken loans arena in downtown cleveland. the q has become the home of champions in 2016 as the cleveland cavaliers and lake erie monsters both brought home respective league championships, but tonight there's going to be another champion that calls the q home and his name is steve miochich.

away from me. i'm keeping it. i won't let go of it. >>reporter: although he wants to finish the fight quickly, he is not looking past oveream. he is well aware of the fact that he's on a four-fight winning streak with victories over champions in andre lovsky and junior dos santos. >> you gotta be a good kick i'm on a good win streak right now. [ indiscernable ] a quick night which i plan on making it. >>reporter: knowing that everyone in the ufc heavy heavyweight division is after his title, he's not taking anything for granted. rather, he's working tireless to hone his craft and sharpen his skills in order to successfully defend his

>> i know i want it and defend it but i'm here to turn heads and make a name for myself. >>reporter: he definitely made a name for himself when he won the ufc heavyweight championship with a first-round knockout in the main event of ufc198 back in may. miochich finished after deliver ago right hand to the jaw. that punch set in motion a run of success for cleveland swept their way to the culledder cup championship and the cavaliers fought back from a 3-1 series deficit to beat the golden state warriors and win the nba chairwoman for the first time in franchise history and mioich plans on keeping the good times rolling in cleveland on saturday night. >> he's going to get knocked out. it's going to happen. >>reporter: once the title is complete, he plans on celebrating the only way he

hi, everyone. good morning. the tigers a winner last night.

their seven-game road trip in minnesota with a win to stay six games up in the central. indians would get down early last night, trailing 2-0 in the 3rd. they have a -- had a big inning, though, lonnie comes through with a double to left center. that brings in two runs to tie the game 2-2. in all it's a four-run inning for the tribe. nothing safe last night. danny salazar trying to continue his forward momentum up this two-run homer to byron buckston. he would leave the game with forearm tightness. he threw 78 pitches with this pitch destroyed in the 5th by mike napoly. that's certainly a party. 453 feet long. 5-4 tribe. they would win by that score and they're now 24 games above .500 leading the tigers, as i mentioned, by six, the magic

to play, including tonight back in minnesota. tomorrow the browns do it for real in philadelphia. the eagles a 3 1/2-point favorite. sashi brown said yesterday the browns are not tanking the season and defended the youth movement, also saying rg-3 could be the long-term answer and not a stop gap. remember, they don't think parsons wents was that answer. they traded their pick to philly and they drafted the qb, and, of course, in the book written by the browns, the next chapter has his first against cleveland. and the brown's defense which was terrible in the preseason, they think they will be prepared tomorrow. >> may have a rare guy come in, a guy who's capable of holding his own, you know, against top quality opponents, and that's the way we have to prepare. we have to prepare like, you know, he's going to be a top quarterback, but we still are aware that he's a rookie. so, you know, we gonna put that in play.

the wayne was there yesterday. ufc champs from euclid ready for his heavyweight fight. he weighs in at 246. the crowd loving him, giving him a huge pop. he'll take on alice stair overreasonable. he weighed in a 248.5, shaking the hands, getting the stare in there. of course it's a pay-per-view fight later tonight. jessica ioso a clevelander, take ago selfie with the crowd behind her. doesn't want to wait for tonight, doing it yesterday in the wayne. she weighed in at 135, shoving her opponent. she's lost three straight in four of her last five. looks like she's trying to get herself ready to get back on track tonight. so, wow! that's going on at the "q" tonight. buckeyes at the shoe tonight, indians and minnesota tonight and the browns and phillies

welcome back. it is the end of an era for seeder point. next friday the mean streak will join the park's dead ride. the fate of the wooden roller coaster has been a hot topic recently among our viewers. cedar point says it has no big

or auctioned off. more than 26 million people have climbed aboard the ride since it opened in 1991. >> have you rode that? >> of of course. i've been one of those millions of people on the mean streak. >> i tell you, i was on it a couple weeks ago, and that thing -- i mean, that thing whips you around like none other big time. >> let me tell you, i was probably like closer to the 1991 -- >> i got on the ride, and, bang, oh, man, this is getting hard on me. >> motion sickness, like for days. >> i need one of those patches before i go on it. speaking of a mean streak, mother nature may have a little mean streak for us this afternoon between 3:00 and 10:00. >> we kind of need it. we need the rain. i don't want anything severe, but -- >> right. and that's the thing. we do need the rain as you were saying. the rain welcomed. we saw the rainfall this morning. most of that now beginning to

afternoon between 3:00 and 10:00 things may light on up. if you're thinking about heading out on the water today, winds from the southwest 15 to 30 miles per hour, kicking up waves around three to five footers out there, so, again, we are going to see some large waves on erie, and, of course, you notice those white caps. so if you were thinking about making it a beach day, let's wait until tomorrow for that. again, very windy with those scattered show thunderstorms in the forecast. tomorrow we're much cooler. temperatures currently upper 60s, low 70s. here's where we're tracking that rainfall for you right now. it's generally racing off towards the northeast. sharden getting wet in the next couple of minutes in the 5:47 hour, towards trumble just before the 6:00 hour. all of this, by the way, right out ahead of a cold front that's positioned to move on through, and it's as that cold front moves through later on this afternoon between 3:00 and

for heavy and strong storms. good news is that clears the area, and by your day tomorrow and sunday we are much cooler and we'll enjoy a whole lot more sunshine to wrap up your weekend. here's what it looks like. this morning tracking a couple of those scattered showers and thunderstorms, a little lull in activity around lunchtime, but at 3:00, that's when some of our western counties start seeing those dark clouds, and then eventually those clouds lead into the scattered showers and thunderstorms. if we do see severe weather, the big main threat with this will be that chance for strong damaging wind gusts through the afternoon. by about the 9:00 to 10:00 hour, most of that begins to clear our viewing region which is the good news, but in its wake we'll see not only the gusty winds, but we'll also potentially see some street flooding. so watch out for it. first thing tomorrow to start off your sunday we wake up to more clouds with an isolated shower threat. however, the clouds begin to thin and fade and so do our

by tomorrow afternoon on sunday it looks oh so much better. your forecast for today, temperatures mid-80s for highs. notice those winds, southwest between 15 to 25, gusting up to 30 miles per hour. those showers and thunderstorms move in between 3:00 and 10:00 p.m. this evening. so that's when i want you to stay weather aware. we're in the upper 50s, low- to mid-60s overnight. window nation seven day showing you after we get ro your sunday, your monday and even your tuesday look absolutely wonderful, seeing as how we'll go from mid-80s today to lower 70s tomorrow. it is going to be a noticeable change in the temperatures by tomorrow. >> right. >> and tomorrow, let me just say it now, turn off the a.c., you're not going to need it. >> yeah. it's going to be one of the -- it's going to feel like we need long sleeves which is hilarious.
