WAY. OKAY, ANOTHER WEATHER IMPACT DAY IN GREATER CINCINNATI. THANKS FOR JOINING US AT NOON ON THIS TUESDAY I’M KELLY RIPPIN AND I’M STEVEN ALBRITTON HERE WITH METEOROLOGIST KATIE DONOVAN KATIE. WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE RAIN. IT’S PART OF OUR FORECAST FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. YEAH, IT NEVER ENDS. SO WE’VE GOT A LOT OF RAIN IN THE FORECAST, AT LEAST THROUGH SATURDAY. AND THEN WE’LL START TO DRY OUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE LAST PART OF THE WEEKEND. RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE’RE FINDING, JUST SOME SCATTERED LIGHT TO EVEN LOCALLY HEAVY SHOWERS. SO A COUPLE OF DOWNPOURS DEVELOPING HERE AS YOU HEAD UP INTO BUTLER COUNTY. WE’VE GOT ONE AROUND OXFORD HERE RIGHT ALONG 27. THAT’S GOING TO COME RIGHT UP THROUGH THE CITY OF OXFORD. CONTINUE ON TOWARDS WEST COLLEGE CORNER. IF IT DOESN’T COLLAPSE BEFORE THEN. BUT NO LIGHTNING WITH THAT CAUSE OF HEAVY RAINFALL THOUGH. AND THEN YOU’VE GOT SOME SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN AROUND DRY RIDGE. AND THEN AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY EAST OF CRITTENDON. SO TOWARDS BUTLER AND THEN PLACES INTO BRACKEN COUNTY JUST NORTH OF BROOKSVILLE, A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN THERE THAT’S GOING TO COME UP THE OHIO RIVER THROUGH PLACES LIKE MOSCOW, AND EVEN CLIPPING A CITIES LIKE NEW RICHMOND, A HIT AND MISS SHOWERS ACROSS SOUTHERN CLERMONT COUNTY, CENTRAL BROWN COUNTY. AND THEN WE’VE GOT SOME ONGOING LIGHT TO MODERATE SHOWERS HERE IN WEST UNION AND MANCHESTER, NORTH OF 52. SO A SOAKER FOR SOME COMMUNITIES, AT LEAST RIGHT NOW. AGAIN, THOSE CAUSE OF HEAVY RAIN A VERY POSSIBLE WITH ANYTHING THAT DEVELOPS TODAY AND EVEN INTO THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, JUST DUE TO ALL THE MOISTURE 69 DEGREES. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ABOUT 70 IN INDEPENDENCE, 71 IN HARRISON AND FORECAST HIGHS TODAY SET TO CLIMB INTO THE MIDDLE 70S. SO IT IS GOING TO BE A WARM ONE TODAY. WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THOSE FORECAST HIGHS TO CLIMB INTO THE 70S THIS AFTERNOON. FOR EVERYBODY AND CONTINUING TO WARM INTO THE LATE WEEK. MY LATE PREVIEW OF CLIMB TO THE 80S. THEN WE’LL TALK ABOUT THAT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT COMING UP. GUYS, BACK TO YOU. KATIE. THANK YOU. THE MAN ACCUSED OF INTENTIONALLY HITTING AND KILLING HAMILTON COUNTY DEPUTY LARRY HENDERSON RETURNED TO COURT THIS MORNING. RODNEY HINTON JUNIOR REMAINS IN CUSTODY ON NO BOND, CHARGED WITH AGGRAVATED MURDER. WLWT NEWS FIVE’S BRIAN HAMRICK WAS IN THE COURTROOM FOR HINTON’S APPEARANCE THIS MORNING. BRIAN, TELL US WHAT UNFOLDED THERE. YEAH. KELLY. WELL, FOR THE FIRST TIME, RODNEY, HITTING JUNIOR FACED A JUDGE WILL HAVE A KEY ROLE IN WHETHER HE LIVES OR DIES TODAY. JODY LUBBERS TOLD HINTON WHY HE’S FACING THE DEATH PENALTY. THE AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCE IN THIS CASE IS THAT THE OFFENSE WAS COMMITTED AND THAT THE VICTIM, LARRY HENDERSON, WAS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND YOU HAD REASONABLE CAUSE TO KNOW OR KNEW HE WAS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. HINTON WAS ARRAIGNED ON CHARGES OF AGGRAVATED MURDER, MURDER AND FELONIOUS ASSAULT. THIS ARRAIGNMENT COMES AFTER HE WAS INDICTED ON THURSDAY. HINTON IS ACCUSED OF RUNNING DOWN AND KILLING HAMILTON COUNTY DEPUTY LARRY HENDERSON AS HE DIRECTED TRAFFIC AT THE UC GRADUATION. POLICE SAY THE DAY BEFORE HINTON SON WAS ARMED AND RUNNING FROM THE SCENE OF A STOLEN CAR WHEN HE WAS SHOT TO DEATH BY A CINCINNATI POLICE OFFICER. PROSECUTORS SAY HINTON HAD JUST SEEN BODY CAM OF THAT WHEN HE DROVE HIS VEHICLE INTO THE DEPUTY. HINTON’S ATTORNEY, CLYDE BENNETT, SAID TODAY HIS CLIENT IS NOT GUILTY AND IT WILL BE BY REASON OF INSANITY. IT’S NOT A COMPLICATED CASE. IT’S NOT A SIMPLE CASE, BUT IT’S NOT COMPLICATED. IT’S NOT FACTUALLY COMPLICATED. I THINK THE ISSUE IS HIS MINDSET, HIS MENTAL STATUS AT THE TIME OF THE OFFENSE. THAT’S A STRAIGHTFORWARD, SINGULAR ISSUE THAT CAN BE RESOLVED, I BELIEVE BY FEBRUARY. YEAH. NOW, FEBRUARY IS THE TARGET DATE THAT THEY’VE SET FOR THE TRIAL TO BEGIN THE NEXT WEEK. ON THURSDAY, THEY HAVE ANOTHER HEARING TO TRY AND SEE IF THE TWO SIDES CAN REACH A POINT THAT THEY COULD ACTUALLY HAVE THIS TRIAL IN FEBRUARY. REPORTING LIVE BRIAN HAMRICK WLWT NEWS FIVE. BRIAN, WE KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF EYES ON THESE COURT APPEARANCES. WHAT WAS THE ATMOSPHERE LIKE IN COURT TODAY? LAST ARRAIGNMENT? WE KNOW THERE WAS AN OUTBURST. YEAH, A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE LAST TIME. VERY CALM THIS TIME. BUT KELLY, THERE WERE TWO SECURITY CHECKPOINTS. YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH THAT SECURITY CHECKPOINT THAT YOU ALWAYS DO GOING INTO THE HAMILTON COUNTY COURTHOUSE. THERE WAS ALSO A SECONDARY SPOT WHERE YOU HAD TO CHECK IN BEFORE YOU WENT INTO THE COURTROOM. AND IN FACT, THAT ONE ANYONE THAT WAS A SPECTATOR HAD TO SHOW AN ID TO GET IN THERE. THAT’S SOMETHING PRETTY UNUSUAL. WE DON’T OFTEN SEE THAT HERE IN HAMILTON COUNTY. KELLY. ALL RIGHT. BRIAN HAMRICK REPORTING FOR US LIVE THIS NOON BRIAN, WE APPRECIATE THE UPDATES. AND OF COURSE YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT DEPUTY HENDERSON. READ OUR FULL COVERAGE OF THIS STORY AS IT CONTINUES TO DEVELOP. OVER ON W
