The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today in Cincinnati.

Morning, neighbors! It's me again, Sean Peek, your host of the Cincinnati Daily.


First, today's weather:

A bit of snow and rain. High: 45 Low: 21.


Here are the top three stories in Cincinnati today:

  1. The International Space Station was visible in Cincinnati on Tuesday night. In clear skies, the space station was visible during a five-minute window from 6:23 to 6:28 p.m. From Earth, the station looks like a very bright, non-twinkling star that slowly moves across the sky. (WLWT Cincinnati)
  2. Bockfest is returning to Cincinnati this March for its 30th year. The annual festival celebrating Cincinnati's brewing heritage and all things bock beer is returning from March 4-6 with a number of events. Admission is free for bock beer, music, and entertainment at Bockfest Hall and other official venues. (WXIX)
  3. Police have identified the victim who was shot and killed in Cincinnati's College Hill neighborhood last week. The 34-year-old shooting victim has been identified as Terrence Hill, who was found near the intersection of Lantana Avenue and North Bend Road. Police are continuing to investigate the incident and are asking anyone with information to reach out. (WLWT Cincinnati)
