AND PRESIDENT TRUMP DELIVERING HIS FIRST STATE OF THE UNION OF HIS SECOND TERM THIS AFTERNOON. LOCAL LAWMAKERS TELL US WHY THEY DID OR DID NOT ATTEND THE SPEECH. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS STARTS NOW WITH BREAKING NEWS. WE’RE STARTING THIS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON OFF WITH SOME BREAKING NEWS. PITTSBURGH PENGUINS CAPTAIN SIDNEY CROSBY WILL NOT BE REJOINING THE PENS ON THE ICE FOLLOWING THE OLYMPIC BREAK, BEING PLACED ON INJURED RESERVE. NOW, THE 38 YEAR OLD FORWARD SUFFERED A LOWER BODY INJURY LAST WEEK DURING TEAM CANADA’S QUARTERFINAL IN ITALY. WE BROUGHT THIS TO YOU AS BREAKING NEWS DURING OUR NOON NEWSCAST AS WELL. HE DID REMAIN SIDELINED FOR CANADA’S TWO REMAINING GAMES, INCLUDING THAT GOLD MEDAL MATCHUP WITH TEAM USA. THE PENGUINS TELLING PITTSBURGH’S ACTION SPORTS CROSBY IS EXPECTED TO MISS A MINIMUM OF FOUR WEEKS AS CROSBY GOES ON IR. THE PENS HAVE ACTIVATED DEFENSEMAN KRIS LETANG, PITTSBURGH’S ACTION SPORTS TALK TO CROSBY IN THE LOCKER ROOM, AND WE’RE TURNING THAT SOUND AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN TO BRING THAT TO YOU RIGHT HERE ON OUR AIRWAVES. BE SURE TO STAY TUNED TO HEAR FROM THE CAPTAIN JUST A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THIS NEWSCAST. OKAY. NOW LET’S TURN TO PITTSBURGH’S ACTION WEATHER 4. THE GOOD NEWS THIS AFTERNOON, THE SNOW FROM THIS MORNING IS FINISHED. MORE SUNSHINE AND WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE IN PLAY TODAY. THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR THE NEWS AT NOON. I’M ELENA LAQUATRA METEOROLOGIST BRIAN HUNT. JUNIOR IS HERE LOOKING AT OUR CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. THINGS ARE FINALLY LOOKING UP FOR US, BRIAN. AND YOU WERE NOT KIDDING. YOU SAID THIS MORNING WAS GOING TO BE TRICKY, AND IT REALLY WAS. YEAH, WE HAD A LOT OF DELAYS AS WELL THIS MORNING. THE SUNSHINE STARTING TO RETURN NOW ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. AND THAT NOW STARTS A MELT AND REFREEZE PATTERN FOR US AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY AND INTO TOMORROW. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL DROP BACK BELOW FREEZING. AND SO THAT WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES OF ANYTHING THAT MELTS TO REFREEZE WILL BE VERY WARM THIS WEEKEND AT LEAST. TO START, SUNSHINE RETURNS. IT WILL BE MILD, BUT WE ARE WATCHING NEXT WEEK AS RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL RETURN TO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, SO WE ARE NOT DONE WITH WINTER YET. TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S ALREADY, ESPECIALLY THE CITY POINTS WESTWARD 40 IN BUTLER AND CRANBERRY, 43 IN WASHINGTON, 36 IN KITTANNING, 35 CLARION WE ARE ALL ABOVE FREEZING, SO THE MELT IS ON AND SUNSHINE IS RETURNING. WEST OF I-79. A LITTLE MORE SUNSHINE AND THIS WILL CONTINUE WORKING ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. SUNSHINE INTO THE WEEKEND. BUT AGAIN, WE ARE WATCHING NEXT WEEK. WE’LL TIME IN A LITTLE BIT ON THAT RAIN AND SNOW CHANCE STARTING ON MONDAY. THAT’S AHEAD WITH YOUR COMPLETE 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE. THANK YOU BRIAN. WE’LL CHECK BACK IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. BACK TO SOME LOCAL HEADLINES. ONE PERSON WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER A FIRE BROKE OUT AT AN ALLEGHENY COUNTY APARTMENT BUILDING. THIS TWO ALARM FIRE FORCED TENANTS OUT OF MILL VILLA ON GRANT AVENUE, WHICH IS IN MILLVILLE. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER LILY COLEMAN, COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY AND HEARING FROM PEOPLE AT A NEARBY BUSINESS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE. YOU CAN STILL SMELL THE SMOKE AND ACTUALLY HEAR A FIRE ALARM GOING OFF AFTER LAST NIGHT’S MASSIVE FIRE HERE IN MILLVILLE, RESIDENTS TELL US THEY’RE NOW WORRIED ABOUT THEIR NEIGHBORS. IT’S SURPRISING AND SCARY. I’M DEFINITELY HOPEFUL THAT EVERYONE IS OKAY. WE WERE CONCERNED FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE APARTMENT BUILDING. FIRST AND FOREMOST, WORD OF THE FIRE AT THE MARVELLA SPREADING ALMOST AS FAST AS THE FLAMES DID TUESDAY NIGHT. FIREFIGHTERS WERE CALLED TO THE CORNER OF GRANT STREET AROUND 1030, GREETED TO MASSIVE FLAMES AS THE FIRE SPREAD TO A SECOND ALARM. ONE PERSON WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WITH IT BEING SO CLOSE TO OUR BUSINESS AND THANKFUL TO CONTAIN IT, AND IT WASN’T WORSE THAN WHAT IT WAS. WEST END LAKE MAE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR ALMOST 100 YEARS. THEY SELL INDUSTRIAL BOTTLED GAS AND PROPANE AND HAVE A FILLING STATION LESS THAN 20 YARDS FROM WHERE THE FIRE BEGAN. TODAY, THEY ARE EXTRA THANKFUL FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS WHO WERE ABLE TO GET THINGS UNDER CONTROL SO QUICKLY. EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN CARE OF. FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE ARE THINGS ARE INSIDE OUR BUILDING, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO KEEP DANGER AWAY FROM IT. BUT YEAH, IT COULD DEFINITELY COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. THE CAUSE OF THAT FIRE STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY FROM MILLVILLE, I’M LILY COLEMAN. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR. WE HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION NOW ON THE MAN DETAINED BY ICE AGENTS OVER THE WEEKEND IN SEWICKLEY. BRUNO DA SILVA WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY OUTSIDE OF OSBORN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. NOW, ACCORDING TO SEWICKLEY POLICE CHIEF GUEDES, DA SILVA AND HIS FAMILY CAME TO THE U.S. ILLEGALLY AND WERE OUT ON BOND AWAITING A COURT HEARING. COURT DOCUMENTS SHOW GUEDES DA SILVA WAS RECENTLY CHARGED WITH THE SALE OR TRANSFER OF FIREARMS RELATED TO AN ALLEGED OFFENSE IN JULY OF 2024. THAT HAPPENED IN MCCANDLESS. TO HIS DETAINMENT. WE HAVE SOMEONE HERE ILLEGALLY. THEY HAVE A COURT DATE COMING UP. THEY LITERALLY TRIED TO PURCHASE A FIREARM. THAT IS A DANGER TO OUR COMMUNITIES. WE’RE GOING TO CHANGE THEIR STATUS, NOT IN CUSTODY. IN CUSTODY. AT A BOROUGH COUNCIL WORKSHOP LAST NIGHT. RESIDENTS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS VOICED CONCERNS ABOUT ICE BEING IN THE COMMUNITY. THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT SAYS THEY WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. NOW, WHEN THEY CAME INTO OUR COMMUNITY THIS WEEK, WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED. OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT NOTIFIED AND THEY HAD NO INVOLVEMENT IN THE ACTION THAT ICE TOOK. THE COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER APPROVING A RESOLUTION AND POLICY TO AFFIRM ITS STANCE AGAINST AN AGREEMENT WITH ICE IN THE COMMUNITY. 1204 IS THE TIME, AND ONLY ON FOUR MAN IS IN POLICE CUSTODY AFTER ATTEMPTING TO RUN FROM POLICE DURING A TRAFFIC STOP. 35 YEAR OLD ERLIN ANTUNES IS FROM GUATEMALA. HE TOLD PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR QUOTE, I DON’T HAVE PAPERS, BUT I AM A MIGRANT. ANTUNES AND ANOTHER MAN WERE ACCUSED OF SPEEDING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE NEAR JOE WALKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN SOUTH FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP. THE SECOND MAN GOT AWAY AND ALLEGEDLY IS STILL ON THE RUN. ONE INDIVIDUAL WAS APPREHENDED IN A FIELD. THAT INDIVIDUAL WAS ALSO WANTED OUT OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA FOR A DUI. THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL IS CURRENTLY AT LARGE, AND WE HAVE OUR ENTIRE POLICE FORCE SEARCHING THE GENERAL AREA FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL. THE GREEN WASHINGTON REGIONAL POLICE CHIEF TELLS US THE TWO MEN WERE NOT BEING TARGETED BY POLICE. HE SAYS THE TRAFFIC STOP WAS INITIATED BECAUSE THEY WERE SPEEDING NEAR A SCHOOL, AND NUNEZ IS FACING CHARGES OF AVOIDING APPREHENSION, ESCAPE AND OF COURSE, SPEEDING IN A SCHOOL ZONE. IN A MARATHON STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS, PRESIDENT TRUMP TOLD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE U.S. IS WINNING EVEN AS HE FACES THE LOWEST APPROVAL RATINGS OF HIS SECOND TERM. ABC’S CHRISTIANE CORDERO REPORTS FROM WASHINGTON ON WHETHER THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH MOVED THE NEEDLE AT ALL. POLL NUMBERS DROPPING, ESPECIALLY ON THE ECONOMY. PRESIDENT TRUMP USED HIS FIRST STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS OF HIS SECOND TERM TO PAINT A ROSY ECONOMIC PICTURE. MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND MY FELLOW AMERICANS, OUR NATION IS BACK. BIGGER, BETTER, RICHER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. ACCORDING TO THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, AMERICANS ARE PAYING MORE FOR ENERGY, UP 6.3% FROM LAST YEAR. AND THE NONPARTISAN TAX FOUNDATION SAYS THAT THE PRESIDENT’S TARIFFS COST THE AVERAGE AMERICAN HOUSEHOLD $1,000 IN 2025. BUT THE PRESIDENT DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE REALITY MANY AMERICANS ARE FEELING IN 12 MONTHS. MY ADMINISTRATION HAS DRIVEN CORE INFLATION DOWN TO THE LOWEST LEVEL IN MORE THAN FIVE YEARS. THERE WERE SOME MOMENTS OF UNITY IN THE MARATHON ADDRESS. THE PRESIDENT HONORED VETERANS. THE NATIONAL GUARDSMEN SHOT ON PATROL IN D.C., AND THE GOLD MEDAL WINNING MEN’S HOCKEY TEAM. BUT THE PRESIDENT WENT ON THE ATTACK, TELLING DEMOCRATS THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR STAYING SEATED WHEN HE ASKED THE CHAMBER TO STAND AND AGREE WITH HIS STATEMENT THAT AMERICAN CITIZENS SHOULD BE PROTECTED OVER UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS. LOOK, NOBODY STANDS UP. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY. I’M TELLING YOU, THEY’RE CRAZY. THE PRESIDENT PRAISED HIS IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN, BUT MADE NO MENTION OF MINNEAPOLIS, WHERE THE TWO AMERICANS, RENEE, GOOD, AND ALEX, WERE KILLED BY FEDERAL AGENTS TO DELIVER THE DEMOCRATS RESPONSE. THE PARTY TAPPING VIRGINIA GOVERNOR ABIGAIL SPANBERGER. IS THE PRESIDENT WORKING TO MAKE LIFE MORE AFFORDABLE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY? IS THE PRESIDENT WORKING TO KEEP AMERICANS SAFE, BOTH AT HOME AND ABROAD? IS THE PRESIDENT WORKING FOR YOU? TRUMP’S PLEDGE TO STOP IRAN FROM GETTING A NUCLEAR WEAPON WAS MET WITH BIPARTISAN ENTHUSIASM. THE PRESIDENT HAS EMPHASIZED DIPLOMACY WHILE ALSO BUILDING UP A MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE REGION. CHRISTIANE CORDERO ABC NEWS, WASHINGTON. AGAIN, A NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS CHOSE NOT TO ATTEND THE PRESIDENT’S STATE OF THE UNION. THAT INCLUDES LOCAL CONGRESSWOMAN SUMMER LEE. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER AVA RASH HEARING FROM LEE AND CONGRESSMAN DELUZIO FOR THEIR REACTION TO THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF’S SPEECH. BOTH LAWMAKERS TOOK DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S STATE OF THE UNION. WHILE CONGRESSMAN CHRIS DELUZIO WAS IN ATTENDANCE, CONGRESSWOMAN SUMMER LEE TOOK PART IN ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMING. NO MATTER HOW HARD WE WORK, WE CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE. THAT’S THE REAL STATE OF OUR UNION. REPRESENTATIVE SUMMER LEE TALKED ABOUT THE PROBLEMS SHE’S SEEING IN OUR COUNTRY RIGHT NOW, WHILE GIVING THE PROGRESSIVE RESPONSE TO THE STATE OF THE UNION AND AT HOME. ICE AGENTS ARE HUNTING DOWN HUMAN BEINGS, AND CITIES ARE UNDER SIEGE. THE FBI IS RAIDING ELECTION OFFICES IN GEORGIA. STUDENTS ARE BEING DISAPPEARED FOR PROTESTING TYRANNY AND GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE. THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS WE EARNED AFTER A GENERATION OF ADVOCACY ARE BEING STRIPPED AWAY. SHE, AS WELL AS ABOUT 70 OTHER DEMOCRATS, BOYCOTTED TRUMP’S SPEECH AND INSTEAD TOOK PART IN THE PEOPLE’S STATE OF THE UNION. BUT FOR CONGRESSMAN CHRIS DELUZIO, IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HIM TO BE IN THE ROOM LAST NIGHT. HAVING JUST LIVED THROUGH THIS ADMINISTRATION, TRY TO PUT ME AND OTHERS IN PRISON, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BE THERE, TO LOOK THOSE FOLKS IN THE EYE, TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT I’M NOT GOING TO BE INTIMIDATED. AND HE BROUGHT ALONG A GUEST AS WELL. MEET INDEPENDENT PHARMACIST JOHN DUQUESNE HEIGHTS FROM HAMPDEN TOWNSHIP. HE’S AN ADVOCATE FOR PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGER REFORM. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SPECIFICALLY DONE IS HAVE FAIR REIMBURSEMENT TO ADEQUATELY REIMBURSE US THE COST OF THE MEDICATION, PLUS A DISPENSING FEE. PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGERS CONTROL DRUG COSTS AND HOW MUCH PHARMACIES GET REIMBURSED. HE SAYS THIS REALLY IMPACTS EVERYONE AND WAS EXCITED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH LAWMAKERS. SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS GOING TO THE PHARMACY TO GET YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER’S AMOXICILLIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN EAR INFECTION, OR IT AFFECTS THE DIABETIC ELDERLY PATIENT WHO CAN’T AFFORD THEIR INSULIN OR THEIR OTHER MEDICATION FOR DIABETES. COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY, AVA RASH PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR. COMMITMENT 2020 COVERAGE NOW AND SPECIAL ELECTION RESULTS FROM THE RACE FOR THE 42ND DISTRICT SEAT IN THE SOUTH HILLS. DEMOCRAT AND DORMONT COUNCIL MEMBER JEN MAZZOCCO DEFEATED GOP COMMITTEE MEMBER JOSEPH LECKONBY. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS MAZZOCCO RECEIVED OVER 80% OF THE VOTES. 1210 IS THE TIME IN ONE OF THE NFL’S BIG OFFSEASON EVENTS. THE COMBINE IS THIS WEEK IN INDIANAPOLIS. STEELERS GENERAL MANAGER OMAR KHAN WAS ASKED YESTERDAY ABOUT AARON RODGERS RETURNING. HE SAID HE DOES NOT EXPECT RODGERS TAKING AS LONG AS LAST YEAR TO MAKE A DECISION, WHETHER IT’S THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR’S DRAFT. THERE IS URGENCY FOR THE STEELERS TO FIND THEIR NEXT LONG-TERM FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK. I’LL SAY WE HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT QUARTERBACK. THAT’S GOING TO BE AN AFC NORTH QUARTERBACK. YOU KNOW, PLAYING IN THE AFC NORTH. THERE’S NOTHING LIKE IT. YOU KNOW THE COLD WEATHER, THE RIVALRIES, THE DIVISION, THE PHYSICALITY OF THE DIVISION. SO IT’S IT’S GOT TO BE A AFC NORTH QUARTERBACK. THE COMBINE WORKOUT SCHEDULE BEGINS TOMORROW WITH KICKERS DEFENSIVE LINEMEN AND LINEBACKERS. WORKOUTS RUN THROUGH SUNDAY. FROM THE GRIDIRON TO THE DIAMOND, A SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE FROM BASEBALL’S TOP PROSPECT YESTERDAY, CONNOR GRIFFIN HOMERED IN HIS FIRST TWO AT BATS ON THE WAY TO THE PIRATES 16 SEVEN WIN OVER THE RED SOX. THE BUCS PLAY THE BRAVES AT 105 TODAY, AND MUCH MORE NEWS IS STRAIGHT AHEAD ON PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR AT NOON, INCLUDING THE MAJOR COMPANY TAKING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO COURT OVER TARIFFS. AND WE’LL SEE MORE SUNSHINE LATER TODAY. AND THAT CONTINUES AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES RESPOND, ESPECIALLY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, BUT WE’RE NOT DONE WITH WINTER YET, WITH SNOW SHOWERS RETURN AFTER THE THE TIME NOW IS 1214 AND THE TOP DEMOCRAT ON THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE IS ACCUSING THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OF ILLEGALLY WITHHOLDING DOZENS OF PAGES FROM THEIR FILES ON CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER JEFFREY EPSTEIN, SPECIFICALLY, PAGES TIED TO A WOMAN WHO ACCUSED THE PRESIDENT OF ASSAULTING HER WHEN SHE WAS ROUGHLY 14 YEARS OLD. ABC’S ARMANDO GARCIA HAS MORE. A TOP DEMOCRAT ON THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE IS ACCUSING THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OF WITHHOLDING DOZENS OF PAGES OF INFORMATION FROM THE FILES ON JEFFREY EPSTEIN, WHICH HE SAYS INCLUDE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP. CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMAN ROBERT GARCIA POINTS TO WHAT HE SAYS ARE DOZENS OF PAGES OF NOTES ABOUT A WOMAN HE SAYS ACCUSED THE PRESIDENT OF ASSAULTING HER WHEN SHE WAS A MINOR IN THE 1980S. GARCIA SAID HIS SEARCH, THROUGH UNREDACTED RECORDS OF THE DOJ FILES, SHOWED SOME DOCUMENTS TIED TO THE UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN WERE NOT RELEASED, DESPITE THE LAW MANDATING THAT ALL RECORDS BE MADE PUBLIC, WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS. HE SAYS HE REVIEWED AN UNREDACTED VERSION OF A 2020 FBI PRESENTATION THAT OUTLINES UNPROVEN ALLEGATIONS AGAINST SEVERAL MEN, INCLUDING TRUMP. AN INDEX OF WITNESS MATERIALS PREPARED FOR CONVICTED COCONSPIRATOR GHISLAINE MAXWELL’S TRIAL SUGGESTS THE FBI INTERVIEWED THE WOMAN FOUR TIMES IN 2019, BUT AN ABC NEWS SEARCH OF THE DOJ’S DATABASE FOUND A REPORT ABOUT ONLY ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS. IT’S UNCLEAR WHAT IS ON THOSE RECORDS. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS REPEATEDLY DENIED ANY WRONGDOING AND KNOWLEDGE OF EPSTEIN’S CRIMES. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND A SOCIAL MEDIA POST ON TUESDAY ACCUSED DEMOCRATS OF MISLEADING THE PUBLIC, WHILE MANUFACTURING OUTRAGE FROM THEIR RADICAL ANTI-TRUMP BASE, AND CLAIM THAT ALL RESPONSIVE DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN PRODUCED. UNLESS A DOCUMENT FALLS WITHIN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES DUPLICATES, PRIVILEGED OR PART OF AN ONGOING FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. LAST WEEK, THE DOJ INFORMED CONGRESS THAT ALL DOCUMENTS THAT WERE REQUIRED TO BE RELEASED HAVE BEEN, AND NO MORE ARE COMING OUT. THE EPSTEIN FILES FRONT AND CENTER DURING THE PRESIDENT’S STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH LAST NIGHT, DEMOCRATS WEARING PINS URGING FOR THE RELEASE OF ALL OF THE FILES. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO RELEASE THE FILES? DEMOCRATS BRINGING SOME OF THE EPSTEIN SURVIVORS AS GUESTS. CONGRESSMAN GARCIA SAYS OVERSIGHT. DEMOCRATS ARE NOW LAUNCHING AN INVESTIGATION AND LOOKING INTO WHY THESE DOCUMENTS WERE ALLEGEDLY WITHHELD. ARMANDO GARCIA, ABC NEWS, NEW YORK. FEDEX IS SUING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER THE TARIFFS PRESIDENT TRUMP IMPOSED LAST YEAR. LAST WEEK, THE SUPREME COURT RULED THOSE TARIFFS WERE UNCONSTITUTIONAL, AND NOW FEDEX WANTS THE GOVERNMENT TO REFUND THE MONEY THAT IT WAS FORCED TO PAY. ANALYSTS SAY THE TERRORISTS HAVE GENERATED ABOUT $175 BILLION FOR THE GOVERNMENT. PREVIOUSLY, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S LAWYERS SAID THE GOVERNMENT WOULD COMPLY WITH AN ORDER TO PROVIDE REFUNDS IF THE TARIFFS WERE FOUND UNLAWFUL. BUT LAST WEEK, THE PRESIDENT INDICATED THE REFUNDS WOULD FACE A LEGAL BATTLE. RIGHT NOW, IT’S UNCLEAR HOW MUCH FEDEX IS SEEKING TO RECOVER. PITTSBURGH IS PLAYING A GROWING PART IN THE NEW SPACE ECONOMY, AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES ENGINEERS ARE TRYING TO SOLVE IS NOT JUST LANDING ON THE MOON. IT’S SURVIVING. THERE. IT’S ALMOST LIKE THE HOLY GRAIL FOR ALL OF THE LANDERS AND TECHNOLOGY THAT’S GOING TO THE SOUTH POLE IS IT’S CALLED SURVIVE THE NIGHT, BECAUSE WHEN YOU HIT THE LUNAR NIGHT, THESE TEMPERATURES GO JUST REALLY EXTREME FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND YOUR ELECTRONICS WILL FREEZE UP. SURVIVING THAT LUNAR NIGHT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST TECHNICAL HURDLES, HURDLES TO LIVING AND WORKING ON THE MOON. AND IT’S WHY THE ASTROBOTIC TEAM HERE IN PITTSBURGH IS TESTING NEW WAYS TO KEEP SYSTEMS POWERED UNTIL THE SUN RETURNS. IN OUR UPCOMING CHRONICLE, WE TAKE YOU INSIDE. PITTSBURGH’S UNDER THE RADAR SPACE INDUSTRY AND SHOW YOU HOW THE WORK HAPPENING RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD COULD SHAPE THE MOON’S FUTURE. CHRONICLE MISSION CONTROL PITTSBURGH AIRS THIS FRIDAY NIGHT AT 8:00 RIGHT HERE ON WTAE CHANNEL 4. SUNSHINE RETURNING TO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. WE WILL KEEP THE SUNSHINE AROUND NOW AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. WE’LL SEE MORE OF IT, ESPECIALLY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, AND TEMPERATURES RESPOND A LITTLE COOLER TOMORROW WITH SUNSHINE AS SOME COOLER AIR FILTERS IN BEHIND THE SYSTEM. THAT BROUGHT US OUR SNOW SHOWERS THIS MORNING. WE’RE ON PACE FOR 46 THIS AFTERNOON. YOU’LL NOTICE THE WIND AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY. 41 TOMORROW. A COUPLE OF CLOUDS WILL PASS BY, BUT ALL PRECIPITATION STAYS TO OUR SOUTH. AND THEN A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND AHEAD. FRIDAY WILL SEE LOTS OF SUNSHINE. A COLD START AT 24, BUT MOST OF US WILL CLIMB INTO THE 50S AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WILL LIKELY BE THE I-80 CORRIDOR, BUT EVEN THEN, WE’RE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES INTO THE 40S, AND AS WE FINISH OUT FEBRUARY, WE’RE LOOKING AT 54 DEGREES. ON SATURDAY WILL BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE UPCOMING WEEK, AND SOME OF US MAY BE ABLE TO MAKE A RUN TOWARDS 60 AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY LOCATIONS SOUTH OF PITTSBURGH. SUNDAY WILL BRING CLOUDS BACK IN ADVANCE OF WHAT COULD BE A PARADE OF SYSTEMS FOR US THAT KNOCKS OUR TEMPERATURE BACK TO 39. MONDAY AND TUESDAY WE ARE WATCHING. MONDAY WE’LL HAVE A SNOW SHOWER CHANCE. WE’RE WATCHING THE TIMING OF THE SYSTEM AND THE TRACK THAT WILL DETERMINE HOW MUCH SNOW WE SEE, AND IF WE SEE SNOW AT ALL THROUGH THE DAY. THERE’S STILL SOME QUESTION MARKS. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF DAYS TO MONITOR. THIS TUESDAY, WE’LL LIKELY START TO SNOW AND THEN TRANSITION TO RAIN AS TEMPERATURES WARM BACK TO THE 40S. THEN WE’LL TRY AND DRY OUT NEXT WEDNESDAY WITH A HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 46. SUNSHINE POKING THROUGH THE CLOUD DECK FOR US ON ACTION. CAM 41 IS THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE AT PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL. BUT LOOK AT THOSE WINDS SUSTAINED FROM THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST AT 21 GUSTING TO 30MPH. THE WIND WILL STAY UP THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY TODAY. AND THE FACT THAT WE’RE ALREADY IN THE 40S PRETTY MUCH MEANS THE SNOW WE GOT THIS MORNING WILL LIKELY BE GONE BY THE TIME YOU GET HOME THIS AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS WILL STAY UP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AROUND 30 TO 30MPH. WE WILL KNOCK THE WINDS DOWN THOUGH. TONIGHT. NOT AS BREEZY TOMORROW, BUT AGAIN WE ARE IN THE MELTING PROCESS. BUT ANYTHING THAT MELTS TONIGHT WE COULD SEE REFREEZE TOMORROW MORNING. NOT EXPECTING SIGNIFICANT ISSUES, BUT ANYTHING THAT IS WET ON THE ROADWAY TOMORROW MORNING COULD POTENTIALLY BE BLACK ICE. SO SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND OUT THE DOOR. AGAIN, WE’RE NOT EXPECTING MAJOR PROBLEMS, BUT THERE COULD BE A COUPLE SLICK SPOTS. THAT’S A REALLY GOOD POINT TO MAKE. I THINK AS THE TEMPERATURES WARM UP A LITTLE BIT AND THEN DROP, WE KIND OF FORGET THAT THAT COULD HAPPEN ON THE ROADS. AGAIN, NOT WIDESPREAD, BUT ESPECIALLY BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES AND ON AND OFF RAMPS COULD B
