through about 3:00. then once the rain starts this evening, we will begin to cool down. i'll go 63 at 5:00. your rain forecast through time, so this morning up through midday, minimal issues in our forecast. but i think as we start to get closer to 5:00, even 4:00 that rain chance will be climbing, so again, if you're voting later please take an your weekend forecast at 6:17. laura. >> laura: first a look at the roads now before we head to the news and talk more about your election coverage. look at this, though, this morning. nothing to complain about at 6:02. really, really smooth travels and no accidents out there. if you try to get on the roads and head to the polls, first thing is first this morning. you get the benefit of the new morning no blues travels. as you come from the west side of akron, 55 miles per hour

towards the kenmore leg, no slowdowned are reported here, and no issues with the central interchange. the spots are actually open, because we have closures in place. look at strongsville to cleveland, 19 minutes, 17 minutes inbound and 37 minutes straight up 77 from akron. we've got some closures near the innerbelt and will talk about that coming up at 6:19. guys. >> tia: election day is finally here, and in the next next president of the united states is. >> brian: candidates will wait anxiously both in new york city as voters make their decisions today. reed binion covers our election this morning. >> reporter: even as the nominees themselves pushed forward with one final round of stumping, clin to and trump

day, the importance of voter turnout. >> go out and vote tomorrow. >> let's get out and vote. >> good luck. get out there. i did my thing. >> tia: it's been a long and sometimes bumpy campaign trail. this morning we have live team coverage on election day 2016. >> brian: we begin with sia nyorkor live at the fairfax rec center. good morning, sia. we're less than a half hour from doors opening there. >> sia: yes, good morning, brian and tia. you're absolutely righ just a little bit ago i watched some poll workers take their oath. they are setting up and ready for the people that will come here and cast their ballots today. before you come, here is what you need to know. the polls open at 6:30 and will close at 7:30. you need proper identification. one of these pieces. a driver's license or state i.d. card with voter's name and photo

motor vehicles. a u.s. military i.d. with voter's name and photo. a government i.d. with voter's name, current address and a photo. or a utility bill, cell phone bill, bank statement, pay stub or a government document. that's one of those pieces. security will be a top priority today. the board of elections director pat mcdonald says he's working with the sheriff's department, homeland security and the fbi. they're even bringing in a special rese during the rnc. >> the county impact team is basically a unit put together to be deployed out into the field, in this case the county, to handle any unusual circumstance or any crowds or any problems that we might have. >> sia: now, coming up in the next half hour, i will tell you the suggested best times to come and vote if you don't want to wait in any long lines.

nyorkor, "cleveland 19 news." >> brian: aside from the presidential election, the next top tier political race on your ballots today is the ohio senate. incumbent republican rob portman is up against former ohio governor democrat ted strickland. in the last week there have been five polls. in those portman's lead ranges from 13 points to 21 points over strickland. the red line on this graph shows support for portman, while the blue line shows support for strickland. we have a link on cleveland19.com that you will find other local issues on your election ballot. >> tia: this morning we highlight just some of them. denise zarrella is live at the pleasant valley elementary school where parma voters will cast ballots this morning. denise, anybody in line yet to cast those ballots? >> denise: it's funny you should say that. we've had people already show up here that wanted to vote. we had to tell them, hey, the

the woman that runs this location. they have been furiously returning around to get it set up. one of the big things is for the first time ever she has an observer here. she says there are members of the national media that are already here. we were here. i guess they've never had media attention at this particular poll location. again, like i said, we've already had voters show up and say, can i vote right now? we have to tellm open at 6:30, and they tell me they will be ready. nicki. >> reporter: in lakewood the fight to save the hospital goes on. they will decide whether to seal the deal. a vote against it does not re-open the hospital. voting for it allows the facility to be used as a health clinic. in cleveland another hot topic, voters there decide whether to raise the income tax by half a percent from 2% to 2.5% to raise

the mayor has warned a no vote would hurt the city. >> a failure to have the half a percent income tax increase will result in 40-something million dollar deficit next year that will result in layoffs in safety, layoffs in other areas of city services, which will mean reduction of service and in some cases services. >> denise: all right. obviously, the results of this election will hit many of our viewers square in the wallet. in cuyahoga county alone, ten school districts have a levy on the ballot and six communities ask to raise taxes to raise money for operating costs. we will bring you live reports through this polling location throughout the morning.

>> tia: we're following all the local issues and races today. as we get answers and results, you can get them too on the cleveland 19 mobile news app. all the election coverage is available on the phone if you download or app for free. the second we get results in, key issues or races, you can bet on getting a push alert sent to your mobile device. you can also watch our live stream continuing coverage on the "cleveland 19 news" app. we will broadcast them on air at 7:00 station cle43. also tune in for election night coverage on "cleveland 19 news at 11:00." ten minutes after 6:00 on election day. free doughnuts and discounted admission to the rock 'n roll hall of fame. we get answers about the perks you can cash in on just by voting today. >> tia: this is scary. also ahead we get answers about a massive sinkhole that swallowed a five-lane road right in the middle of rush hour. sam. >> samantha: my goodness.

hopefully your morning commute is smoother than that, right? 45 in akron this morning. clear skies and we cloud up soon. if you vote later today, not in the morning but have to wait a little while, you might run into rain. we'll sttalk about it after the break. >> nichole: at the alert desk breaking developments out of london of a surprising announcement from prince harry this morning. in germany several are arrested

le levy passes they need to figure out how to make up for the budget shortfall. in cleveland school leaders try to convince voters to renew a levy there. if issue 108 doesn't pass the district will have to cut $65 million from the budget. fairview park schools pushing for a levy to make renovations to schools. pafrnts have said their schools are in need of plumbing, electrical and structural and some schools in some other counties asking for levies to pass, the ravenna city schools and the norton city schools and stow schools as well. here in parma we have talked to voters here. many support the schools, but some have told us off-camera they're not sure they'll vote with the levies because they're frustrated and disappointed over the $15 million shortfall that just came up that was uncovered that was discovered. they said they're not sure that they want to pass the levy and

none of that tomorrow. little warmer on thursday, and then friday our next system moves in. we'll have a little rain late in the day, but some snowflakes may actually mix in friday night. they will not cause any troubles, and i think we'll be dry by the weekend. laura, chilly this weekend. >> laura: all right. bundle up for that and put on scarfs. headed out the door and 77 and starting to slow down a little bit. i know this is the headache everybody is dealing with. if you're coming up 77 and coming from the southern suburbs, maybe let your friends know coming from the west side suburbs there are now five lanes across the innerbelt bridge. if we can get more people over to the innerbelt bridge, hopefully that will alleviate some traffic that packs up along 77. akron is moving very, very well. no big issues here. that's the kenmore leg and typical slowdown there. rta this weekend, the green line
