Hello all. It's me, Sean Peek, your host of the Cincinnati Daily. Here are all the most important things to know about what's happening in town...

First, today's weather:

A couple of t-showers; humid. High: 77 Low: 64.

Here are the top four stories in Cincinnati today:

1. Gas prices have continued to fall in Cincinnati over the past few weeks, following the national trend. Monday saw gas prices hit a new low in Cincinnati, dropping just over eight cents in the last week alone. The current average price of gas in Cincinnati is now at $3.75 per gallon, where a month ago it was up to $4.07. Drivers throughout the area are hopeful this trend will continue. (WKRC TV Cincinnati)
2. Yesterday, a water main break in the Greater Cincinnati area caused some traffic congestion throughout the town of Sharonville. Drivers were asked to exercise caution and, if possible, find a way to avoid Continental Drive, where the break took place. Officers worked to maintain traffic while the water main break was contained. (WLWT Cincinnati)
