into southern carroll county and over in southern tuscarawas right now. this little corridor of i-77 north and southbound may be wet the next couple of hours. the general movement of rain is off to the east and northeast, so most of it is moving away. we still have a chance of scattered shower activity in for today. not a constant rain or anything like that. you may have to dodge a few occasional showers. it's a tricky forecast for today. last day of november, b we will be in the 50s for most of the day, and then tomorrow we start to feel like winter, which is appropriate because tomorrow is actually the first day of meteorological winter or the months of december, january, and february. so how will those first few days of december shape up? we'll talk about it coming up at 6:45. laura. >> laura: right now so many people trying to focus on getting out the door at 6:31. maybe you try to get out the

rerouted. they have to go around this square. some rta riders feel it's a hassle and it causes delays, while others feel that this space should be closed so that people can enjoy the square. so today at city council the transportation committee will hold a meeting at 9:00 a.m. to discuss this issue further, and then on saturday they will have a public rally right here on the square to discuss so you can look for those updates on air and online. for now, i'm getting answers on public square, sia nyorkor, "cleveland 19 news." >> tia: thank you so much. a huge announcement from metrohealth system. they want to completely makeover the campus on west 25th right in cleveland and make it into a state-of-the-art hospital. metrohealth's plan to transform the aging facility would cost $855 million. it wouldn't be complete until

>> do you know they were inbound with the ball? >> what play are you talking about? >> in the first half. you ran off the court and hugged jason terry and snell got a lay-up because you were off the floor. >> brian: j.r. said he wasn't paying attention. he said he didn't know he was in the game. hopefully this is not a return to the old j.r. that can't happen. the cavs don't need that. they lost 118-101. you're right. we kind of disagree. yeah. thow she's giving sam a hug. isn't that nice? while we're in the middle -- >> tia: you can't do that. that's the bottom line. there's no excuses for that. >> brian: we disagree about it. it can happen, but i'm going to cut him a break this time. make sure it doesn't happen again. people are worried because this is what he used to do all the time. >> tia: he didn't know he was in the game? okay. >> brian: that's what he is. he was way down at the other

something? i don't know. >> tia: maybe he couldn't see. maybe he had that crazy thing on his face. i don't know. it's 6:40 now. we've been lucky with gas prices the next custom of years, but a new deal could change that. >> brian: we're talking with experts and getting answers how to protect your family from what they call the silent killer. sam. >> samantha: time is 6:40, and i have a little weather update for you. i'm actually going to scale back on the rain chances today. this is new model data came into the weather office. you can see that the showers in the southern end of the viewing area are gradually lifting off towards the east and northeast. they're trying to move out of here. i'm not totally taking the rain chance out, though. we go more in depth after the break >> tia: breaking news from the west side. police are looking for this man.

>> nichole: we have breaking news. cleveland police asking for the public's help to find two suspects that robbed a local gas station at gunpoint this week. these are pictures we received

gun at the clerk. this is at the sunoco on broadview road. that clerk was luckily not hurt. police say the suspects got away with cash and cigarettes. call cleveland police if you have any information about this crime or about those suspects you see on your screen. pop francis paid trip but this mornings to member of a soccer team killed out of clutch ya. they had their best season in 43 years. vigils were held overnight in brazil. the community there just devastated. 81 people were on board the plane whether it crashed. five people survived. three of those survivors were members of the soccer team. an electrical malfunction is thought to be the cause. a cirque du soleil show in san francisco last night was canceled after a show technician was killed. the person apparently was hit by a lift. investigators trying to figure out what happened. >> tia: oil is the big focus on

vienna. the question is will they reach a deal to cut oil production by a million barrels day. everyone wants answers on of that. ian oversupply dropped prices over the past two years. paypal says it processed as much as $25,000 -- hopefully we have that video -- per second in online payments on cyber monday. that's a lot of cash. the website crashed. breached. cyber security isn't the only concern. we want to keep your family safe for what the experts call the silent killer. >> brian: that's right. cleveland 19's denise zarrella getting answers on the best ways to protect yourselves because you can't become a victim of carbon monoxide poisoning. denise. >> denise: you don't want to. 200 people die every year in the u.s. from carbon monoxide poisoning. that's the statistics. several workers in elyria got

working in in the nick of time. the fire captain said a simple carbon monoxide detector could save your life. what happened last week is a good example of why everyone needs to be aware of the colorless, odorless gas they can't see. if symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning aren't caught early, the result is deadly. luckily employees here reported symptoms of co poisoning which are headaches, dizziness and nausea. everyone here got out safe. at home it's important to have carbon monoxide detectors. the elyria fire department captain gave us his advice. >> we found the plug-in models they tend to do better. the first generation of the carbon monoxide detectors, most of those have been phased out. they were really sensitive and they grabbed onto the carbon monoxide and always went into like a faulty alarm mode. there's a lot of new units out

i think we eventually will be in the 60s and some were in the 60s early this morning. 6:48 on this wednesday, and you can see that will have rain for you in the eastern end of the viewing area. this is out towards southern trumbull county and youngstown down to dover and dmu philly. we have rain. it's about to end for you. you shouldn't have much longer before this rain moves out to the west and north absolutely nothing happening. so i'm kind of scaling back if you've been watching all morning, i've been going with scattered showers. i think we call them hit-or-miss for today. i don't think everyone will see rain, but the issue and it's a tricky forecast is that we've got this area of low pressure lifting over the northern lakes today, and that's going to drag a cold front through the area later on. right now it's to our west, but with that feature in the area, i can't totally rule out rain. it is moving east, so again, a

especially to the south are going to get some good rain from this. jong we're going to see a ton of rain. so just kind of hit-or-miss showers throughout the day. temperature-wise, we hit 61 this afternoon, but we spend most of the day in the 50s. so jacketworthy, you don't need the big, puffy parka today. you may need it tomorrow, though. tonight's forecast, any rain hanging around this evening should be gone by 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. that's the window whether i get it to m then we're mostly cloudy with temperatures eventually falling into the upper 30s. it's going to be colder tomorrow morning than what we've had this morning and what we had yesterday morning. tomorrow is the first day of december, and, of course, that is when things turn cold again. 43 with windy conditions and a little rain chance tomorrow, too. we'll also have lake-effect rainshowers on friday, but it may be cold enough that some of that could mix with some snow.

not everyone will see it. this is mainly a snowbelt thing, and then a cold rain on sunday. that is not going to be the pick day of the weekend, because it will be chilly and late in the day rain will be moving in. laura. >> laura: okay. when we got that weather like that, be careful out there on the roads. this morning, though, i don't see any concerns for you not in that department at least. we are moving really well. we have slowing beginning on 480 and it's almost rush hour. nothing maj miles per hour along 480 passing over broadway eastbound. as for the west side, i-90 looks really, really good. be aware of this, if you come to 490 westbound away from the city, i heard word of a disabled vehicle near where 71, 490 and 90 all come together on 90. watch out for that away from the city right now headed towards the west side suburbs. 71 up and down looking perfect through linndale and brooklyn. we have a water main break on the east side.
