SPEAKS OUT AS AN OFFICER IS CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEATH OF THEIR LOVED ONE. HOW THEY’RE REACTING TO THE RECKLESS HOMICIDE CHARGE AGAINST THE OFFICER WHO PURSUED A MAN BEFORE A DEADLY CRASH. AND IF YOU HAVEN’T GOTTEN DOWN TO TASTE OF CINCINNATI YET, THERE’S STILL TIME WILL SHOW YOU ALL THERE IS TO LOOK FORWARD TO AS THE CULINARY FESTIVAL CONTINUES ON FOR DAY TWO. AND WHILE IT WON’T BE A WASH OUT TODAY, SPOTTY RAIN CHANCES STAY WITH US THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AHEAD, I’LL SHOW YOU WHO COULD SEE THE HIGHER IMPACTS. AND TELL IF IT LASTS INTO YOUR MEMORIAL DAY. THIS IS WLWT NEWS 5 TODAY, LEADING THE WAY. GOOD MORNING AND THANKS FOR SPENDING PART OF YOUR SUNDAY WITH US. I’M TIFFANY WILSON HERE WITH METEOROLOGIST ADAM BURNISTON. A LOT GOING ON THIS WEEK AND WE TALKED ABOUT TASTE. WE HAVE THE INDY 500 COMING UP. THE WINNER GETS A BIG OLD JUG OF MILK. AND SINCE YOU ARE THE BIRTHDAY BOY, THIS IS MY PRESENCE HERE SOMEWHERE. SO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THIS. ALTHOUGH IT SAYS DO NOT CONSIDER IT DOES SAY DO NOT CANCEL PROMOTION DO THAT. BUT IT’S A DECENT DAY FOR SOME AREAS, NOT FOR EVERYONE, THOUGH. WE ARE TRACKING SCATTERED RAIN IN THE FORECAST. SO A DAY TO KEEP THAT UMBRELLA HANDY FOR ANY PLANS OUTDOORS RIGHT NOW. AND AS WE SAW KIND OF ON OUR CITY CAM, THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF BRIGHTNESS OUT THERE, BUT STILL THE CLOUDY SKIES HOLDING ON AS THIS RAIN HAS BEEN PASSING THROUGH OUR AREA KIND OF ON AND OFF THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. WE TAKE YOU INTO THE METRO AND NOT MUCH ACTION OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. MAYBE A FEW LIGHT SPRINKLES. SOME OF THIS IS GROUND CLUTTER, RATHER, I BELIEVE, JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN’T REALLY MOVE AROUND, IT KIND OF JUST SITS OVER THE SAME AREA. SO SOMETIMES THAT DOES HAPPEN ON RADAR. JUST SOME OTHER OBJECTS TO THE ATMOSPHERE GET PICKED UP. BUT AS YOU LOOK OUT INTO PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA, OHIO, SWITZERLAND, COUNTY, STILL SEEING SOME OF THAT SCATTERED RAINFALL AND THAT GOES BACK IN THROUGH PARTS OF BOONE COUNTY AS WELL, BACK TOWARDS ADAMS COUNTY INTO PARTS OF HIGHLAND COUNTY, SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN THERE IN THE SOUTHWEST PARTS OF HIGHLAND IN THROUGH PARTS OF PEEBLES, JUST NORTH OF WEST UNION THERE, AND EVEN A LITTLE BIT THERE IN CLAREMONT COUNTY, JUST NORTH OF BATAVIA. SO THIS WHOLE SYSTEM KIND OF CONTINUING TO MOVE THROUGH OUR REGION. YOU SEE A LOT MORE RAIN DOWN TOWARDS PARTS OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY, INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY AND ALL OF THIS IS KIND OF JUST SCOOTING ITS WAY RIGHT ALONG THE OHIO RIVER INTO NORTHERN KENTUCKY. SO THAT’S WHERE WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING THE GREATEST THREAT FOR TODAY IS IN THAT NORTHERN KENTUCKY REGION RIGHT HERE ALONG THE OHIO RIVER AS WELL. BUT AS WE GO THROUGH TODAY, THINGS NOT LOOKING TOO BAD BESIDES THAT SCATTERED RAIN THREAT, WE’LL STILL HAVE PLENTY OF DRY TIME WITH TEMPERATURES STAY MILD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. BY MONDAY, THOUGH, STILL SPOTTY RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST. MORE ICING LATER. SO A HEAD MIGHT FALL. FORECAST. WE’RE GOING TO BE TALKING MORE ABOUT THAT BREAK DOWN OF THIS RAIN WHEN IT FINALLY LEAVES OUR AREA. AND I’LL BE MENTIONING ABOUT THAT WARM UP COMING IN LATER ON INTO THE WEEK. TIFFANY, ADAM, THANK YOU. A MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND TRADITION MAKES ITS WAY BACK DOWNTOWN. TASTE OF CINCINNATI ISN’T JUST ONE OF THE QUEEN CITY’S LARGEST CELEBRATIONS OF FOOD.
