the lakeshore. note this cloud cover, though. as this wave comes in, we could kick up a few sprinkleless. you may have -- sprinkles. you may have a few drops. does not look like heavy rain. do not have to drag this to the bus stop. temperatures not too bad. we'll be in the 30s to about 40 degrees. as the day goes on, our high clouds will hang out with us. can that's represented here by the brighter, white color. the high clouds are colder. as we go through the afternoon, i think we'll get a few of the breaks coming and going. we will see a little sun. probably partly cloudy skies by the end of the day tomorrow. and temperatures will fade back into the 40s. now, that, of course, is not where the forecast ends. we'll kind of get you up to date with how things are expected to go tomorrow. putting it in graphic form here. we have a few sprinkles in the morning. 50s for a good part of the day. going to be another mild day. clouds and sun in the afternoon, with partly cloudy

afternoon. that's tomorrow. we're going to back up, back up, back up to tomorrow and today. you can see the temperatures out to the west of us. this is all representative of this big weather pattern that is setting u. you can see how we have this digging going on here. and it shoots the northwest. that is a sign of what is going to be coming our way. it's a big wave we'll be riding. first of all, we have record ?? potential coming in on friday. temperatures in the low 70s. ask then saturday. this is when the front we'll have rain. and looks like now afternoon on saturday. the temperatures will be falling. and that is when we are likely to see those temperatures falling from the 40s back into the 30s, with a rain-snow mix, changing to snow. especially for areas out to the east. russ and sarah? >> all right, betsy. thank you. coming up, lebron not happy with knicks head coach phil

yes, it just happened moments ago. terry francona is the manager of the year. and there is no question, he should have been manager of the year. i don't think i need to make

year. he led the indians to the post season for the second time in his four years here. fourth straight winning season. and he did it with a group of guys. think about this. they don't make as much money. and they don't have the star power here in cleveland like they do in a lot of other cities, other teams. so francona, a masterful job. the indians won the central division for the first time in nine years. he had a 14-game winning streak, which really put the indians over the hump to get him in the over 100 days. indians won 94 games. think about this, too. he did it without michael brantly and did it without all the injuries. congratulations, manager of the year. second time he has won the award in four years. so tomorrow, we will find out if indians will have another award. cory cluber. he is up for the sigh young award. that will be announced tomorrow. he's air finalist in the

that he wins this award. cluber won the award back in 2014. and remember, with the francona award and the award tomorrow, all of those votes were before the post season. has nothing to do with the post season. caves and rafters tonight. all right beat toronto. but the game taking a back seat between a war of words. it started with the former nba head coach, 11-time champion. knicks. phil jackson in a recent interview, used the word posse to describe associates. jackson said that lebron has always demanded preferential treatment. and his departure from miami was a slap in the face to the organization. here's a quote from phil jackson. and he's talking about president pat riley when he said this. quote, i always thought pat had this really nice vibe with these guys, where something

treatment. he needs things his way. tonight, lebron react the by saying he's lost all respect for jackson. that he had nothing but respect for him, remember the word "had," as a coach. and what he was able to do. lebron said a posse is not what he built over his career. not what he or his family stand for. we see the success that we have. but then there's always someone who lets you know how far we still have to go as african americans. let's get on for tonight. and the cavs. their best start after nine games in team history. raptors are 7-2. cavs are 8-1. let's go to our high school highlight of the week. and it was a clash between them. of course, brought to you by ohio university. and st. ignacius gets the big win. 31-17. and how about this friday night? that would be a good one on
