artifact. all eyes will be on punxsutawney, pennsylvania, this morning. lisa: today is groundhog day, when a groundhog named phil is expected to predict how long winter will stick around. it sounds pretty unbelievable. kyla wood is here now to tell how this day got started. good morning. kyla: the tradition goes back centuries, if you can believe it. the groundhog tradition stems from similar beliefs associated with candlemas day. the roman legions supposedly brought this tradition to the germans, who picked it up and concluded that if the sun made an appearance on candlemas day, an animal, the hedgehog, would cast a shadow, thus predicting six more weeks of bad weather, or what they called the "second winter." since pennsylvania' s earliest settlers were german, the tradition quickly spread to the u.s. they determined that the groundhog, resembling the european hedgehog, was a most

and thus was given the duty of making the prediction. and the rest, as they say, is history. another quick fact for you. phil' s predictions aren' t always on the mark. since 1988, phil has been right 13 times, but wrong 15 times. last year, the groundhog saw his shadow, but while the u.s. had below-average temperatures last february, temps went above average in march. let' s send it over to randi now to see if it will be a winterlike day today. randi? randi: it is all about the spring today. i am saying winter every single time. it is going to be a springlike day this morning to train for the flying pig. thank you for sending in this photo of year run. 6:00 a.m., 35 degrees, on the cool side.

i will keep standing up for you. i will keep fighting for you. i will always work to achieve the america that i believe in. sen. sanders: as i think about what happened tonight, i think the people of iowa have sent a very profound message to the political establishment, to the economic establishment, and by the way, to the media establishment. miriah: after months of campaigning, the iowa caucuses are the first presidential contest that counts. going forward, the new hampshire primaries are next on the docket. as far as the democrats go, bernie sanders looks assured of a win. current polls showing he leads in new hampshire with 57%, over clinton' from the live alert desk, i' m miriah turner. lisa: as for the republicans, ted cruz came out on top. the republican side also lost a candidate last night, mike huckabee dropping out of the presidential race.

eye -- they can go to their doctor and arrange for a blood test to be sent to the cdc to see if you' ve been affected. mark: right now, no locally transmitted zika cases have been reported in the continental u.s. but the cdc says cases have , been reported in returning travelers. lisa: back to your forecast. randi: starting with temperatures on the cool side. we will end up nice and mild. 30 four degrees at cvg. some towns will be warmer toward the evening commute. 60' s and our sites later the today. as the kids ago to the bus stop, it is cooler with clouds rolling in. most places are chilly at 35 degrees. after school? some spotty showers are possible as early as 3:00 or 4:00. it is not a huge deal if they don' t bring an umbrella, but

the big threat for stronger storms ramps up after 7:00 or 8:00. the best bet for severe weather comes in after 9:00. we are talking about dry roads, but it could be wet this afternoon and evening. kyla: looking good to start us for this tuesday morning. the tuesday evening commute might be tricky. as you had outside now, dry conditions and more construction overnight. 75 north and southbound, you will see lane and ramp closures. we dealt with this last weekend. it will reappear overnight. at 11:00 until 5:00. 75 and mitchell, things are rolling right along. a few brake lights northbound, but no delays waiting for you. lisa: a local
