RAIN SHOWERS ARE NEARBY AND WE CONTINUE WATCHING RAIN SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THUNDER AS WELL. RIGHT NOW THERE ARE NO ACTIVE SEVERE WARNINGS ACROSS THE AREA, BUT STILL PLENTY OF RAIN TO GO. A COUPLE OF HOURS AS WELL. WE’LL TIME THAT ALL OUT FOR YOU AND SHOW YOU WHEN THE RAIN FINALLY COMES TO AN END. THAT’S IN JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. ALL RIGHT, BRIAN. THANK YOU. LET’S GO TO THE PARKWAY NORTH, WHICH WAS KIND OF TURNED INTO A BIT OF A RODEO TODAY. TWO MISSING COWS WERE FOUND ALONG THE ROAD IN THE NORTH HILLS. THESE COWS HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR DAYS NOW. ALL OF THIS PLAYING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF OUR ROUNDS OF RAIN TODAY. YOU CAN KIND OF JUST SEE THE CHAOS THERE LOOKING FROM THAT PENNDOT CAMERA. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER SHELDON INGRAM IS IN WEXFORD WITH THE LATEST THIS AFTERNOON. THIS IS IKER’S FARM WHERE A COUPLE OF CATTLE GOT AWAY ON MONDAY. BUT NOW THEY’RE FOUND. COWS SCALED THE FENCE AT THE FRONT OF IKER’S FARM ON MONDAY. THEY LEFT THE AREA AND ENDED UP ON INTERSTATE 279. OWNER RON EICHNER SAYS THE CATTLE ESCAPED THE FARM THREE TIMES MONDAY. IT WAS THE THIRD TIME THAT TWO MADE IT COMPLETELY OFF THE PROPERTY. BUT THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THE FARM ON SOCIAL MEDIA SAW THE POST ABOUT THE MISSING CATTLE. ANOTHER FARM OWNER TRANQUILIZED THE CATTLE ON 279 THIS AFTERNOON. I ALWAYS SAY WE’RE HERE TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY. ALL WE NEED IS COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND IT HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN YOU GUYS AND THE MEDIA AND THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE A HAPPY ENDING. LIFE CONTINUES. EICHNER SAYS THE CATTLE WILL RECUPERATE AT ANOTHER FARM BEFORE THEY’RE BROUGHT BACK HOME. COVERING ALLEGANY COUNTY IN WEXFORD, SHELDON INGRAM PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR. WELL, TONIGHT, THE BOROUGH COUNCIL WILL VOTE ON A MOTION TO CENSURE ITS MAYOR. ACCORDING TO THE DRAFT OF THIS MOTION, BOROUGH OFFICIALS CLAIM SCOTT ZIMMERMAN VIOLATED STATE WIRETAPPING LAWS. THEY SAY DURING A PRIVATE MEETING WITH SOME OTHER BOROUGH OFFICIALS, ZIMMERMAN USED HIS PHONE TO RECORD AUDIO. WITHOUT ANYONE’S KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT. NOW TO THE FLARING TENSIONS OVER FINANCE QUESTIONS AT A LOCAL VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY. SOME ARE CONCERNED AND CONFUSED ABOUT WHO WILL RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES IN SOUTH CONNELLSVILLE. WELL, A VOTE MONDAY NIGHT TO REMOVE THE FIRE COMPANY AS THE BOROUGH’S PRIMARY RESPONDER REPORTEDLY STEMMED FROM RUMORS ABOUT THE FIRE COMPANY’S FINANCES. THE BOROUGH COUNCIL REQUESTED A LIST OF DOCUMENTS FROM THE FIREFIGHTERS, INCLUDING THE FIRE COMPANY’S ROSTER, INSURANCE DOCUMENTS, BACKGROUND CHECKS AND BANK STATEMENTS. THE CHIEF OF SOUTH CONNELLSVILLE VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY, JEREMY GRUBBS, INITIALLY SAID HIS DEPARTMENT WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE REQUESTED BANK STATEMENTS BECAUSE THE BOROUGH DOES NOT FUND THE FIRE COMPANY WELL. THEN THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT, GEORGE J. THEN CALLED THAT A BLATANT LIE, SAYING $10,000 A YEAR WAS BUDGETED FOR THE DEPARTMENT UP UNTIL LAST YEAR, WHEN FUNDING WAS CUT TO $5,000 FROM THE BOROUGH. JAY SAID THOSE DOCUMENTS WERE REQUESTED TO PUT TAXPAYERS MINDS AT EASE. WE HAD TO DISBAND THE RUMORS ON THINGS LIKE WHO’S OUR QUALIFIED? HERE’S OUR GOING BROKE THIS. ALL WE WANTED WAS TO SAY, HEY, THERE ARE GOOD RUMORS. EXACTLY. WE HAD TO PUT THE RUMORS TO BED. SO SOUTH CONNELLSVILLE MAYOR SAYS HE WILL NOW MEET WITH THE FIRE CHIEF AND OTHER LEADERS TONIGHT. HE INDICATES HE MIGHT VETO COUNCIL’S VOTE AND GIVE THE FIRE COMPANY A LITTLE MORE TIME TO GET THOSE DOCUMENTS IN. WELL, CATHOLICS IN PITTSBURGH’S EASTERN SUBURBS WILL SAY FAREWELL TONIGHT TO ANOTHER CHURCH, SAINT COLMAN’S CHURCH IN TURTLE CREEK WILL HOLD ITS FINAL MASS LATER TODAY. YESTERDAY, LONGTIME PARISHIONERS AT SAINT ANSELM ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH ATTENDED THE FINAL MASS THERE IN SWISSVALE. THE SEVEN CHURCH BUILDINGS WITHIN THE SAINT JOSEPH, THE WORKER PARISH ARE CLOSING DUE TO DECREASED ATTENDANCE AND FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS. SAINT MAURICE IN FOREST HILLS WILL BE THE ONLY REMAINING CHURCH IN THE PARISH AFTER TODAY. LET’S GO TO PITTSBURGH’S ACTION TRAFFIC RIGHT NOW. MORE THAN 50 PITTSBURGH REGIONAL TRANSIT BUS ROUTES WILL BE DETOURED THIS SATURDAY FOR THE CITY’S ANNUAL SAINT PATRICK’S DAY PARADE AND ALL THE RELATED EVENTS DOWNTOWN. MOST DETOURS WILL BEGIN AT 7 A.M. AND END AROUND 2 P.M. SOME WILL CONTINUE UNTIL 5 P.M. BECAUSE SEVERAL BUS ROUTES WILL BE UNABLE TO REACH SOME AREAS OF DOWNTOWN. PRT WILL BE OPERATING A FREE RAIL SHUTTLE BETWEEN PENN STATION AND STEEL PLAZA. ALL RIGHT. LET’S TALK ABOUT PITTSBURGH’S ACTION WEATHER AGAIN. METEOROLOGIST. METEOROLOGIST BRIAN HUTTON JUNIOR IS JOINING US IN STUDIO. BRIAN, WE STILL ARE UNDER A TORNADO WATCH THIS AFTERNOON. EVEN AFTER ALL THE SYSTEMS THAT MOVED THROUGH EARLIER TODAY. YEAH. THAT WATCH GOES UNTIL 8:00. WE CONTINUE WATCHING FOR THE CHANCE OF STILL SEEING SOME STRONG THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. SO THIS WATCH AGAIN IS UP UNTIL 8:00 THIS EVENING FOR INDIANA. WESTMORELAND, ALLEGHENY, WASHINGTON, AS WELL AS GREENE AND FAYETTE, MONONGALIA, PRESTON AND GARRETT COUNTIES. WE ALSO HAVE A FLOOD WATCH FOR THE EXACT SAME COUNTIES EXCEPT FOR PRESTON AND GARRETT. THIS GOES UNTIL 10:00 THIS EVENING BECAUSE WE’VE SEEN HEAVY RAIN FALLING ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, AND THAT HEAVY RAIN IS LEADING TO SOME FLOODING CONCERNS. WE’RE WATCHING OUR AREA RIVERS AS WELL. AS WE CONTINUE AS WE WILL SEE, RIVER RISES. THE OHIO RIVER IN PITTSBURGH IS EXPECTED TO REACH FLOOD STAGE TOMORROW, CRESTING AT ABOUT 18.5FT. THAT IS HIGH ENOUGH WHERE IT COULD FLOOD THE MON WHARF. SO WE ARE CONTINUING TO WATCH THAT RADAR FOR US THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA CONTINUES TO SHOW AN ACTIVE SCENE OUT THERE, WITH RAIN SHOWERS FALLING ACROSS THE AREA, MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF ABOUT 422 IS WHERE MOST OF THE ACTIVE WEATHER HAS BEEN. SOME HEAVY RAIN NOW FALLING IN WESTMORELAND COUNTY. THIS STRETCHES FROM THE 66 AND 119 INTERCHANGES, WITH 22 ALL THE WAY BACK INTO MONROEVILLE AND THEN DOWN THE PARKWAY WEST INTO THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH, ALSO DOWN ROUTE 30 TOWARDS NORTH HUNTINGDON AND GREENSBURG. SEEING SOME HEAVY RAIN. AND THEN AS YOU HEAD DOWN TO THE TURNPIKE AS WELL, HEAVY RAIN FALLING IN NORTHERN FAYETTE COUNTY. CONNELLSVILLE HEADING OVER TOWARDS DUNBAR TOWNSHIP. AND THEN AS YOU HEAD OVER INTO THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS AS WELL, STRETCHING FROM CHAMPION SEVEN SPRINGS ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN TOWARDS ROUTE 40. AND THEN WE ARE WATCHING MORE RAIN SHOWERS STARTING TO ARRIVE AS WELL OUT OF WEST VIRGINIA. THESE RAIN SHOWERS AND SOME RUMBLES OF THUNDER WILL CONTINUE MARCHING THROUGH PORTIONS OF GREENE AND SOUTHERN WASHINGTON COUNTY OVER THE NEXT. ABOUT 25 TO 30 MINUTES OR SO. WE’RE CONTINUING TO WATCH. OUR PRIMARY CONCERN BEING DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS. AGAIN, SOME HAIL CANNOT BE RULED OUT AND WE STILL HAVE THE TORNADO WATCH, SO THERE IS STILL A LOW RISK OF SEEING A TORNADO. AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF THE EVENING HOURS. SO LET’S TIME THIS OUT AGAIN. SHOWERS AND STORMS CONTINUE ROLLING IN ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. HERE’S 6:00, THE ROUND THAT’S NOW ENTERING OUT OF WEST VIRGINIA SHOULD BE ROLLING THROUGH PITTSBURGH AND POINTS EASTWARD TOWARDS GREENSBURG AND OVER TOWARDS INDIANA AS WE HEAD TOWARDS 9:00. THIS IS WHEN THE COLD FRONT SHOULD GET HERE. THIS WILL BRING THE BACK EDGE OF OUR RAIN SHOWERS THROUGH SO THAT BY 11:00 MIDNIGHT STORMS ARE GONE AND THEN RAIN SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF WITH SOME SNOWFLAKES POSSIBLE TOMORROW MORNING INTO THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS. 42 IS WHERE WE’LL MAKE IT TOMORROW. MUCH COLDER THAN TODAY. WINDY ON FRIDAY AT 54. WE DRY OUT FOR THE WEEKEND UP TO 66 ON SUNDAY. THAT’S THE PICK OF THE WEEKEND. AN IMPACT DAY MONDAY AS THE SYSTEM BRINGS RAIN IN THE MORNING. THAT TRANSITIONS TO FLURRIES. FLURRIES FOR YOU
