today. you won't need that. that hour-by-hour chance of rain from sunup to sundown is zero. no showers expected, but again, it is a little chilly. good morning to you in cleveland. 32 is our current temperature, but the wind is out of the northwest at about 12 miles per hour sustained. so it's going to feel just a little colder than it actually is. it feels like the mid-20s in cleveland. it's actually in the mid-20s in akron this morning. not much of a breeze there. do substantially lighter than they have been the last several days. you know, over the weekend it was super windy, still a little blustery yesterday. today those winds start to relax, but it is still cold. 7:00, most of us are stuck in the upper 20s and lower 30s, and by midday we should hit about 38, 41 this afternoon. that will be your forecast high for the day. that will happen at about 3:00. partly sunny skies is your

our maps today or tonight. tomorrow rain is looking like a good bet. now, if you'll be traveling in the morning around this area, you're not going to have to worry about any rain. i think almost up through midday we should be just fine, but by about 11:00, 12:00, that's when those precipitation chances start increasing, and i do think that as the rain moves in by late morning and early tomorrow afternoon, even a little sleet or snow could mix in. i don't expect any accumulations, any accumulating snow or anything like that. as temperatures warm into the afternoon to about 41, we'll change over to all rain, and that rain is going to hang around through wednesday night. if the system kind of lags a little bit, moves a little slower, we could even see some showers on thanksgiving morning. so prepare to deep fry that turkey outside in the rain. i think most of it should be out of here by the afternoon, so if you want to play a little

groundmy be wet on thursday, i think we should be mostly dry by the afternoon. yet another system in the books for friday. that brings us light rain during the day, so my black friday shoppers and i am right there with you because i'm always looking for a good deal, we're going to be shopping in some rain on friday. it should be pretty light, and then the weekend, well, we'll start that off with a little light rain, too. sunday, though, laura, looks great. >> laura: heads up, too. today is a better day of travel than tomorrow. sam is talking about the weather and talking about later on in the day tomorrow, 11:00 tomorrow. tomorrow the worst time to be on the road for traveling is 3:00 in the afternoon. so if you can get out before the rain and before the heavy traffic, that's going to be your best bet tomorrow. if you get out on the road today, things are free and clear out there. we have clear roads for you

into a van parked on the side of the road. thankfully, the officer walked away with just minor injuries. this was in pennsylvania. >> tia: thankfully the kids walked away tall together. the internet is going insane over this picture of flip-flops. they're this year's mystery dress. it was posted to social media last week and started a fierce debate. are they blue and black and brown? some say blue and gray and even white and gold. what do you think, brian? >> brian: i think they're white and gold. i don't know. i'm colorblind, so there you go. the atlanta zoo is currently running a poll on the website to help name their new twin panda cubs. there are seven sets of names, tia, to choose from. each has a special meaning or association with the cubs or their parents. looks like they're hugging, doesn't it? the winning set will be revealed

we have a rainmaker on the way out to the west. this area of low pressure off to the east of denver. this system is moving through the center of the country today and into the great lakes late tonight into tomorrow morning and that's going to provide the focus for an active weather day tomorrow. it will be a first alert weather day, so i want to break it down for us starting at about 11:00 in the morning. we could see rain moving in, which may mix with sleet or snow. the come up through the day. by the afternoon we transition over to all rain. unfortunately, though, that rain is going to hang around through tomorrow night, so if you have family coming into town tomorrow night or if you're taking off to head out of town tomorrow night, you deal with some showers. again, this may slow holiday travel, but i don't expect any snowfall or ice accumulation or anything like that. just kind of slick roads from all the rain. today's forecast anything but rainy.

cold this morning, 29 at 7:00, and 38 midday, and then an afternoon high today of 41. just a little bit warmer than yesterday, but still running below average, so any after school practices if the kids have one more day of school left probably going to need to bundle up for that. for tonight, mostly cloudy and cold. mid-20s overnight. i think it will be even colder tomorrow morning for some of you than it is right now. we really won't warm 39 tomorrow afternoon, and the temperature will come up a little bit tomorrow night, and then we'll get a little warmer finally for thursday. a high of 47 on thanksgiving day. the same system that brings us rain and a wintery mix tomorrow, that kind of hangs around through thursday morning, so up through about 10:00 in the morning, might see a few showers on thanksgiving. then another system coming in for friday.

could wind things down as a wintery mix on saturday morning. that part of the forecast needs to be watched, and that may change. laura. >> laura: and to our maps now, this is our waze map that we look at. this is brought to us by people out on the road right now as we speak. they have the waze app on the smartphone, their phone or maybe their ipad like i am using right h here. someone is reporting an accident in the garfield heights area along 480. be careful throu that's the eastbound direction of 480, not the westbound direction. but as you can see looking at the map on either side of the accident, we do see green. green is good. no slowdowns in the area. also an alert of something in the roadway in the bedford heights area along 271. looks like it's just north of broadway, so if at that that's where you travel through, do be careful in the area. another alert of something in the roadway along 271 in the area of peninsula. so just a couple of alerts

keep in mind we see some people traveling right now passing through the area and probably not as familiar with our roads as we are. guys. >> brian: check this out. drama last night on "monday night football." a laser light aimed at houston texans quarterback brock osweiler. he said it was continuously pointing at his eyes. they investigate this as a serious offense. the raiders won, and the game was played in mexico city as part of the nf you can see the flash of light on his face. >> tia: yeah, that's not cool. time is 6:51. the stories you need to know before you go coming up next. >> brian: including how tamir rice's family will march two years since t ? think of your fellow man. ? ? lend him a helping hand. ? ? put a little love in your heart. ? ? take a good look around... ?
