RIGHT NOW, OUR LIVE RADAR IS SHOWING SOME OF THAT RAIN UP TO OUR NORTH AND WEST. IT’S JUST ABOVE THE BANNER THERE, AND WE’VE GOT MORE ON THE WAY. SO THAT COLD FRONT DROPPING INTO OUR REGION HERE, AND WE’RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THOSE SHOWERS TO IMPACT THE AREA AS WE HEAD THROUGH TONIGHT. AGAIN, GENERALLY LIE MAYBE SOME AREAS OF MODERATE RAINFALL, BUT THAT WILL BE PUSHING IN AS WE HEAD TOWARDS. THAT’S FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, 8:00 IN THE EVENING. TEMPERATURES. RIGHT NOW WE’RE SITTING IN THE LOW 60S TO MIDDLE 60S RIGHT NOW IN LOVELAND. IT’S ABOUT 63. CINCINNATI IS AT 62, OFFICIALLY 62. IN ERLANGER WE HAVE 63 IN CLEVES. AND THEN UP IN HAMILTON, ABOUT 63. OUTSIDE OF THAT, LOTS OF LOW 60S TO MIDDLE 60S. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WARM THINGS UP AS WE HEAD THROUGH TODAY. I THINK OUR TEMPERATURES EVENTUALLY CLIMBING TO AROUND 70 THIS AFTERNOON. SO IT’S GOING TO FEEL NICE IF YOU’RE HEADED OUT TO THE REDS GAME TONIGHT WITH THREE, TWO, ONE TUESDAY HAPPENING. FIRST PITCH IS AT 640. RAINS ON THE WAY, BUT BY THE FINAL OUT, THOSE SHOWERS ROLLING ON THROUGH. SO PLAN ON THE PONCHOS LEAST GETTING RAINED ON FOR PART OF THIS GAME WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A TIMELINE IN FUTURECAST.

FIRE OFFICIALS SAY THE HOME IS A TOTAL LOSS AND THE FIRE HAPPENING JUST DAYS AFTER A TRAIN DERAILMENT IN LOCKLAND, WYOMING AREA, WHICH FIRE CREWS SAY PRESENTED A CHALLENGE JUST A FEW DAYS AGO. WE, YOU KNOW, WE WERE DEALING WITH A TRAIN DERAILMENT. SO WE WERE, UH, HINDERED A LITTLE BIT WITH ACCESS. THIS GETTING INTO THE BUILDING BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT’S SET UP AROUND, UH, I’M NOT GOING TO SAY THAT IT NECESSARILY SLOWED US DOWN OR STOPPED US FROM DOING WHAT WE DO, BECAUSE THAT’S JUST WHAT THE FIRE SERVICE DOES AS WE ADAPT AND OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES.

WLWT NEWS FIVE’S AMY LU JOINS US FROM CAPITOL HILL WITH WHY TODAY’S VOTE IS SO VITAL. SENATE LEADERSHIP FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE SAY AND AGREE THAT PASSAGE OF THIS FOREIGN AID BILL IS A MATTER OF U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY. THE PACKAGE INCLUDES $95 BILLION OF AID FOR UKRAINE, ISRAEL AND THE INDO PACIFIC, WITH NEARLY HALF OF THAT MONEY MEANT TO REPLENISH U.S. WEAPONS STOCKS. THE MEASURE, SPLIT INTO FOUR SEPARATE BILLS, FACED AN UPHILL BUT EVENTUALLY SUCCESSFUL VOTE IN THE HOUSE ON SATURDAY.

AS REPUBLICANS AND EVEN SOME DEMOCRATS QUESTIONED THE U.S. INVOLVEMENT IN FOREIGN WARS AND A LACK OF FOCUS ON THE US-MEXICO BORDER. BUT THERE IS GENERAL BIPARTISAN CONSENSUS ON APPROVING THE BILL, LEADERS CALLING IT AN INVESTMENT, ADDING CREDIBILITY TO THE US’S COMMITMENTS AND ABILITY TO DEFEND AMERICA AND DETER AGGRESSION.
