LEADING THE WAY. GOOD MORNING AND THANKS FOR JOINING US AT 6:00. I’M TIFFANY WILSON. HERE’S METEOROLOGIST ERICA COLLURA. THIS IS THE TYPE OF MORNING THAT YOU TYPICALLY JUST WANT TO SLEEP IN. MAYBE KEEP THAT EXTRA BLANKET ON THE COUCH. FIVE LAYERS. BECAUSE IT IS COLD OUT THERE. AND WE’RE STARTING OFF WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO LOWER TEENS. IT FEELS A LITTLE BIT COLDER THAN THAT. IF YOU JUST FACTOR IN LIKE A 5 OR 6 MILE PER HOUR WIND, BECAUSE IT DOESN’T TAKE THAT MUCH WHEN WE’RE THIS COLD. BUT WE ARE GOING TO SEE SOME GOOD IMPROVEMENTS. GRADUAL THIS WEEKEND AND THEN BETTER BIGGER FOR THIS WEEK AHEAD. AND WE’RE TALKING 40S 50S CLOSE TO 60 DEGREES. WE ARE ALL READY FOR THAT. I MEAN, YEAH, I MEAN IT’S GOING TO FEEL LIKE A HEAT WAVE THIS WEEK. RIGHT NOW WE ARE STARTING OFF VERY QUIET TEMPERATURES IN THOSE TEENS. I EXPECT A LITTLE BIT OF CLOUD COVER THIS MORNING JUST WITH A LITTLE DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH. WE’VE GOT SOME MID-LEVEL MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE, AND THAT’S REALLY NOT GOING TO BRING US ANY PRECIPITATION. IT’S JUST GOING TO BRING US SOME EXTRA CLOUD COVER THIS MORNING. AND THAT WILL MOVE OUT FOR THE AFTERNOON. SO RIGHT NOW WE’RE IN THOSE TEENS. GOOD NEWS IS DAYS ARE GETTING LONGER AND DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IS JUST JUST AFTER THE FIRST WEEK OF MARCH. SO IT IS GETTING HERE. WE ARE GOING TO SEE MORE DAYLIGHT. WE’RE ADDING ABOUT TWO ISH MINUTES EVERY DAY OF DAYLIGHT. SO SUNRISE TODAY IS ABOUT 20 AFTER SEVEN AND THEN SUNSET IS JUST BEFORE 630. SO WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE DAYLIGHT AS WE HEAD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, AND THEN A LOT MORE AS WE CHANGE THOSE CLOCKS AND SPRING FORWARD. RIGHT NOW WE’RE AT 15, BUT IT FEELS LIKE EIGHT DEGREES IN CINCINNATI. WE’RE AT 19 IN OXFORD, WHERE WE HAVE A CALM WIND, SO NO WIND CHILL FACTOR THERE. BUT LOOK AT THIS. WILMINGTON. YOU FEEL LIKE THREE DEGREES RIGHT NOW EVEN THOUGH YOUR AIR TEMPERATURE IS IN THOSE LOWER TEENS. SO VERY COLD FOR A LOT OF US THIS MORNING. AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE BOARD IN THOSE LOW TO MID TEENS. AND WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THAT WIND SPEED, WE ARE LOOKING AT SINGLE DIGIT WIND CHILLS FOR A FEW OF US. SO OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS YOU’RE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES TO RISE THROUGH THOSE TEENS. WE GET INTO TO THE 20S FOR MOST OF US BY NINE BY NOON, WE’RE JUST SHY OF FREEZING, AND THEN WE’RE TOPPING OUT IN THE MID 30S THIS AFTERNOON. SO COMING UP IN MY FULL FORECAST, I WANT TO DETAIL HOW LONG WE STAY DRY. OUR RAIN CHANCES THAT ARE IN THE SEVEN DAY, AND OUR NICE LITTLE WARM UP ON THE WAY. TIFFANY. ERICA. THANK YOU. 603 AND WE ARE LEADING THE WAY ON BREAKING NEWS OUT OF GAZA. HAMAS MILITANTS ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF RELEASING MORE ISRAELI HOSTAGES. SIX ISRAELI HOSTAGES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED BY HAMAS TODAY. AND SO FAR, THE MILITANTS HAVE HANDED OVER FIVE HOSTAGES TO THE RED CROSS. NOW, THIS VIDEO YOU SEE RIGHT NOW IS SHOWING THE RED CROSS VEHICLES WITH THE FIRST TWO HOSTAGES WHO WERE RELEASED AND THEN CROSSING BACK INTO ISRAEL. ONE MORE IS DUE TO BE RELEASED TODAY, AND UNDER THE TERMS OF THE CEASEFIRE DEAL, MORE THAN 600 PALESTINIANS WILL ALSO BE FREED FROM ISRAELI PRISONS TODAY. NOW, THIS LATEST EXCHANGE COMES AFTER THE FAMILY OF FORMER HOSTAGE SHERRI BASS CONFIRMS THAT HER BODY HAS NOW BEEN RETURNED. ON THURSDAY, HAMAS MILITANTS TURNED OVER FOUR BODIES TO ISRAEL AND ONE OF THEM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE ISRAELI MOTHER OF TWO, WHOSE SONS ALSO DIED IN HAMAS CAPTIVITY. BUT ISRAEL SAID THAT THE BODY WAS NOT HERS. HAMAS SAID THAT THERE HAD BEEN A MISTAKE AND THEN RETURNED A SECOND BODY, WHICH THE FAMILY NOW POSITIVELY IDENTIFIES AS BEBA’S BODY. WELL, DEVELOPING BACK HERE LOCALLY, WE ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT A 13 YEAR OLD WHO WAS SHOT AND KILLED IN WINTON HILLS. THE SHOTS RANG OUT ON DUTCH COLONY DRIVE JUST BEFORE 830 THURSDAY NIGHT. ISRAEL BISHOP WAS A STUDENT AT HUGHES STEM HIGH SCHOOL, AND PEOPLE WHO KNEW HIM SAY THAT THEY LOST A FRIEND AND THAT EVERYONE LOST OUT ON HIS POTENTIAL. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ARRESTS AND NO SUSPECTS HAVE BEEN NAMED. NEW. OVERNIGHT, A CAR WENT INTO THE OHIO RIVER. NOW, THIS HAPPENED JUST BEFORE 1030 FROM THE BANK OF DAYTON, KENTUCKY. NO ONE WAS HURT AND THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THAT VEHICLE ON HIS OWN AND WAS THEN WAITING FOR FIRST RESPONDERS TO ARRIVE. WELL, THE CLEANUP CONTINUES THIS MORNING AFTER DEADLY FLOODS RAVAGED PARTS OF KENTUCKY. 14 PEOPLE DIED. THOUSANDS MORE WERE TRAPPED. FIRST RESPONDERS WORKED TIRELESSLY ALL WEEK. BUT THEN THIS WEEKEND, MANY ARE FINALLY BACK HOME. AND THAT INCLUDES OHIO TASK FORCE ONE. WLWT NEWS FIVE’S DANIELLE DINDAK WAS AT THE TEAM’S BASE NEAR DAYTON TO WELCOME THEM HOME. THEIR MISSION IS COMPLETE. 47 MEMBERS OF OHIO TASK FORCE ONE, ALONG WITH TWO CANINES, ARE FINALLY BACK AT THEIR HOME BASE HERE IN VANDALIA. FOLLOWING LONG DAYS OF SEARCH AND RESCUE MISSIONS IN FLOOD DEVASTATED KENTUCKY. THE BUSY AND COLD. THIS WAS UNIQUE IN THE FACT THAT WE DON’T NORMALLY DO THESE TYPE OF OPERATIONS WHEN IT’S IN SINGLE DIGITS, DAYS ON END WITH LITTLE SLEEP, BUT IT WAS A MISSION THEY COULD NOT QUIT. AND UNLIKE ANY OTHER, IT DIDN’T POP INTO OUR HEAD UNTIL WE HAD TO DEAL WITH IT, WAS THE FACT THAT WE HAD STUFF FREEZE UP ON US THAT WE WEREN’T EXPECTING, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO OVERCOME IT AND KEEP GOING. BUT THAT’S WHAT OHIO TASK FORCE ONE DOES. THEY KEEP GOING UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE. THEIR LATEST MISSION, MARTIN COUNTY, KENTUCKY. WE HELPED WITH AN EVACUATION OF APARTMENT COMMUNITY IN SOME AREAS TRAPPED. AND WE KNOW THERE WAS OVER 100 OVER 100 PEOPLE RESCUED BY BOAT AND CHOPPER FROM THIS SUBMERGED APARTMENT COMPLEX. THE CREW TEAMED UP WITH KENTUCKY NATIONAL GUARD AND KENTUCKY STATE POLICE. WE WERE OPERATING IN PLACES WHERE WATER IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE. I WOULD GAMBLE TO SAY THAT THE RIVER LEVEL AND THE ONE AREA WE WERE WORKING WAS AT LEAST 20 TO 30FT ABOVE. SO NOW THE CREW IS BACK HOME AND READY FOR THEIR NEXT CALL. NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. WE WERE HAPPY TO DO IT. BUT WHEN YOU GET TO THE END, THOSE SOME OF THOSE NICE THINGS. THEY JUST FEEL TERRIFIC. AND NOW GET BACK HOME TO OUR FAMILIES. ALWAYS FEELS WONDERFUL. THE TASK FORCE LEADER TELLS ME THEY PUSH ALL OF THEIR GEAR TO THE LIMIT, SO THEY HAVE TO GET EVERYTHING BACK IN WORKING ORDER BEFORE THAT NEXT DISASTER STRIKES.
