reducing the risk of stroke. you know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. i couldn't have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. i found another way. yeah, treatment with xarelto®. hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us.

ask your doctor about xarelto®. karen is back with the accuweather forecast. tracking a little bit of snow. >> yes, and it could cause headaches. we are tracking it now. lets go to stormtracker 6 live double scan still dry through the region and go outside and see what is looks like heading towards the airport. we see blue sky and the clouds are on the increase through this afternoon. but it has been lovely so far as we look live on sky 6 hd, lets check the current conditions. temperature 35 degrees the dew point just 10 degrees and the pressure is rising, 30.27 and the winds are light, nothing like yesterday. nothing like tomorrow. they will really be gusty and

the windchill just 35 degrees. satellite 6 along with action radar showing we have the nice clear skies, now seeing the clouds roll in. not that far off starting to see some snow. see it there in ohio and west virginia, mixed precipitation and we can take a wider look, here is the area low pressure ahead of us, we see light snow showers and rain down to the south, and that is what is moving in our direction. first we get through today. 38 degrees by 4:00 p.m., 39 and clouds increase through the day. still dry for the evening commute. no problem. 36 by 8:00 p.m. and any time after 10:00 is when we expect the snow showers to begin. later tonight and into tomorrow. lets show you what it looks like on future tracker 6 we are looking at 11:00 tonight and at that point we see the snow showers move into place. this is a new model run as we look at it together at 2:00 in the morning, still snow showers here through the area, it's not
