mainly cloudy skies overnight with a few snow showers or flurries possible. the winds will be west to northwest and pretty chilly with our temps dropping into the 20s for most areas before sunrise. wednesday will be mostly cloudy most of the day, but we might see a few rays of sunshine from time to time- especially in western iowa in the afternoon. it will stay cold and breezy, but mainly dry as our latest system moves away. clearing skies will mean even colder temperatures wednesday night with lows in the 10s for many locations. a nice warm-up will begin thursday with lots of sunshine and southwesterly winds pushing our temps into the 40s. but the fun doesn't stop there! friday should be even warmer with highs in the upper 40s to the lower 50s with mostly sunny skies! there will be some clouds coming in saturday pm, but i still think we can get another mild day in the 50s. even next week is looking pretty mild for us now with highs

50s and very little precipitation expected in the next 10 days! brad stephanie: jack: jack: okay -- ladies,

boring marriage proposals. and there are creative marriage proposals. we can agree on that, right? well, we have a really creative one that happened thanksgiving day in johnston. it was such a crazy idea -- the cops even had to get involved. nats - cop asking for id jeff schulte is really in trouble this time. he's pulled over by johnston police for the second time in a year. except this time, you're looking at a set-up. this police body cam video captures a very clever plan between jeff and johnston police. nats - more interaction between jeff and officer a year ago at thanksgiving time it was for real. jeff was actually ticketed for speeding right in front of his girlfriend's parent's house when he was going to meet them for

first time. her whole family saw it. jeff was embarrassed. so a year later, when jeff decided to propose to jenna, he figured johnston p.d. might do him a favor. sb jeff "wanted to do something crazy." "a lot of timing involved, i was nervous." he and officer matt chiles, the same guy who gave him the real ticket a year earlier, worked it all out. nats - you were doing 46 in a 35 a bogus speeding violation. jeff was even pretend handcuffed behind his car. and jenna was finally asked to get out of the car too. nats from cop -- would you get out and check this merchandise to see if it's stolen. he has a theft warrant. the look on jenna's face proves she has no idea what's going on, and the next few moments are priceless. nats - will you marry me? her reaction up until they hug sb - it took my emotions

long time and it was a welcome break from the difficult work of real policing for officer matt chiles. sb -- just a nice break to be able to do something fun like this. jack: just like last year, jenna's jack: just like last year, jenna's family saw the whole thing again.

gathered in the garage, on purpose this time, watching the engagement happen. jeff and jenna are getting married in july, here in iowa. congratulation s! coming up on local 5 news at ten, jack: it may just be the funkiest highway interchange you've ever seen. but it's up and running in waukee, and we'll take you there. stephanie: then in sports-- the stakes couldn't be much higher, unless it was the national championship game. we'll get you set for saturday's hawkeye match- up with michigan state. "your watching local 5

jack: drivers beware-- there's something new to navigate in the metro today. the new interstate exit off i-80 at grand prairie parkway is officially open. but this interchange is something we've

before. stephanie: it's called a diverging diamond interchange. here's a simulated overhead look. it seems confusing until you drive it. the biggest change is you don't have to cross oncoming traffic to get onto the interstate. engineers say it's a much safer way to manage traffic. the one drawback is that if you accidentally get off at this intersection and want to get back on the interstate, you have to get off on the local road and turn around. stephanie: the new interchange opened at noon today. developers say it will relieve traffic onb amjor roads like jordan creek parkway, university and hickman. work began two years ago, and cost 50 million dollars. here's what drivers are saying. luke miller driver "i was just testing it. so i came south to get on and head east. that was pretty easy. i mean, there's two stoplights, but it's pretty smooth." stephanie: the new interchange is also part of a much bigger development project... called "kettlestone" that's being built along grand

in waukee. jack: football still dominating the headlines, but iowa state off to another good headlines, but iowa state off to another good start! jordan: things going according to plan for steve prohm and clones, tonight a sneaky test... the bison from ndsu were in town tonight, see if isu could hold off the upset, coming up next. " now, local 5 sports

are iowa sport jordan/bam: fresh off their emerald coast classic championship, the 5-0 iowa state cyclones return home to the friendly confines of hilton coliseum where they are an astounding 62-4 since the start of the 20-11 season. but the clones had to watch out for those pesky bison... isu hosting north dakota state, new football coach matt campbell taking in hilton magic. right off the bat, georges niang finds jameel mckay who slams it home for the clones. next time down, it's monte morris finding naz mitrou-long who cashes in the three ball. later on scary moment here, niang hits his knee with one of the bison players, he was down and hilton went silent. but he'd walk it off and return later on.

bison cash in the triple to go up 30-27! but isu closes the half on a 9-0 run. the steal by mitrou-long, he takes it in for two of his 11. then monte morris finds abdel nader for three, nader finished with a game high 21. and then it's mckay bookending the half with a dunk! he had 15 and a career high 19 boards. all 5 starters score in double figures. isu tames the bison, 84-64. jordan/bam: just one day after his introductory press conference, matt campbell is wasting no time trying to turn isu around... many will say it can't happen, isu coaches have tried and failed in the past... but turnarounds can happen! tcu had four 10 win seasons in history before gary patterson, they've had 10 since 2001. baylor was 18-102 in its first 15 seasons of big 12 play, since art briles took over, they're 64-36 with 3 ten win seasons, a 4th looming and 2 big 12 titles. so when people ask why iowa

relishes the challenge! "you see what some of the great coaches in this conference have done. bill snyder has done a great job obviously at kansas state. it's been done. and again it's about having the foundation around you to get this thing done and we've got a great foundation around this program. so to me, that's the great challenge, i love a challenge, i love to build and that's why i knew this was the right place for matt campbell." jordan/bam: iowa will hit the field in indy saturday with the big ten coach of the year. kirk ferentz swept both the coaches and media vote. now ferentz and the boys have to gear up for their toughest opponent of the year... alex giamio has more from iowa city. "(alex giaimo) the goal from day one for the hawkeyes has been winning a big ten championship. now they'll get their chance on saturday against michigan state in indianapolis. two teams that pretty much match up dead even on paper. (kirk ferentz) in a lot of people's eyes we weren't supposed to be here right now so

and cheek because it is important to us. it's not like we are out there just winging it. uh, we are probably the team that's not supposed to be there so you know, what the heck, let's go cut it loose and see what happens. (giaimo) ferentz will take his chances against a team with striking similarities to his own. both averaging about 33 points per game and dead even in turnover ratio. (henry kreiger-coble) top to bottom they are super experienced and the guys they have out there. i mean they are big guys, i mean they look like an nfl d-line, they are just huge, atheltic, and explosive guys, so that's what makes them good. (austin blythe) yea they've got a lot of good athletes up front and they work to finish plays and we got to get after them to, you know, kind of neutralize that. (giaimo) ferentz and his hawkeyes know that it's not a matter of stopping the spartans but more a matter of containing them. (cj beathard) it's hard to play a perfect game but we are going to have to play well and execute. we can't make many mistakes you know they are a good team but i think we are a good team, as well. (kirk ferentz) they are going to make plays. they are going to make plays offensively, defensively, special teams. and how we respond to those things really is going to dictate the success that we have or not. (alex giaimo) this will be iowa's first big ten championship appearance. kickoff at indianapolias will be at 7:17. in iowa city with your hawkeye

sports we are iowa. jordan/fullscreen the penultimate college football playoff rankings are out... top 5 stays the same. clemson, alabama, oklahoma and iowa round out the top 4. michigan state stays 5th ohio state is up to 6. stanford, notre dame,fsu and unc round out the top 10. saturday's b1g championship game is set for 7:17. that game can be seen on fox. and don't forget we have you covered for the big ten championship all this week. myself and alex giaimo will be in indianpolis starting on thursday for coverage of the game. friday we'll be bringing you a special 30 minute big ten championship preview, hosted by jon schaeffer and jeff woody, with reports from indy. jon/3shot (wrap sports) stephanie: jack: we'll be right
