CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CHRISTINE FERREIRA IS TRACKING SOME CLEARING SKIES AND ANOTHER COOL DAY ON TAP AND REGINA AHN WILL TELL US IF YOU HAVE TO CONTEND WITH ANY CRASHES THIS MORNING. WE’RE ALSO CONTINUING TO FOLLOW HOW THE WAR IN IRAN IS AFFECTING YOUR WALLET. NEWS EIGHT’S GABRIELLE THOMAS BREAKING DOWN HOW MUCH MORE MONEY IT TAKES YOU NOW TO FILL UP YOUR TANK. DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU DRIVE. AND NEWS EIGHT’S RACHEL HIRSCHHEIMER IS IN WASHINGTON WITH THE LATEST ON WHERE NEGOTIATIONS STAND TO END THE WAR. AND WE’RE TAKING A LIVE LOOK FROM OUR LEBANON SKYCAM. SOME CLOUDS NOW. BUT CHRISTINE, WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING SOME SUN LATER ON. THAT’S A GOOD SIGN. I’M ALREADY STARTING TO SEE SOME CLEARING, ESPECIALLY IN OUR HARRISBURG SKY CAM. SO AREAS ESPECIALLY NORTHWEST OF HARRISBURG STARTING TO CLEAR OUT SOUTHEAST. THOSE CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY CLEAR OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. RIGHT NOW, THOUGH, MOST OF THE SHOWERS ARE OVER. A FEW STILL TRYING TO SCOOT BY. IN CHESTER COUNTY, OUR TEMPERATURES COOLER WHERE IT’S CLEAR, ESPECIALLY IN LEWISTOWN, YOU’RE AT 4152 IN HARRISBURG, 50 IN LANCASTER, WE HAVE 51 DEGREES IN CHAMBERSBURG. LOOK AT OUR 12 HOUR FORECAST TODAY. CLEARING OUT THIS MORNING. WE GET A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THAT’S GOING TO WARM US INTO THE 60S. AND THEN WE’LL SEE PARTLY SUNNY SKIES AS WE HEAD TOWARD EVENING. A MAINLY DRY DAY TODAY. REGINA JUST A COUPLE OF SHOWERS LATE AFTER DARK, SO I’LL TIME THOSE OUT FOR YOU. WE’LL TALK ABOUT SHOWERS TOMORROW AND THEN SOME LIGHT RAIN THAT MAY IMPACT YOUR PLANS FOR SATURDAY MORNING. ALL RIGHT. THAT’S SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. BUT TODAY, ENJOYING THE SUN. ALL RIGHT CHRISTINE THANK YOU. SO ONE ON THE CLOCK ON YOUR THURSDAY MORNING. AND HOPEFULLY YOU’RE HAVING A GOOD MORNING SO FAR. RIGHT NOW. GOOD NEWS IS ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, WE’RE LOOKING GOOD. NO CRASHES OR INCIDENTS TO SLOW YOU DOWN. TAKING A PEEK OUTSIDE MANHEIM TOWNSHIP IN LANCASTER COUNTY, LOOKING JUST FINE, TWO, 83 AND 30 THE INTERCHANGE THERE, JUST A FEW CARS HEADED OFF TO THEIR DESTINATION ROUTE 30 EASTBOUND. IF YOU’RE TRAVELING TO LANCASTER FROM COLUMBIA, IT’S A TEN MINUTE DRIVE THERE. IF YOU’RE TRAVELING FROM LEBANON TO LANCASTER, 34 MINUTE DRIVE ON 72 SOUTHBOUND IN HARRISBURG TO LANCASTER. JUST A LITTLE BIT SLOW THERE AT A 31 MINUTE COMMUTE. WE’LL HAVE ANOTHER UPDATE FOR YOU IN JUST A BIT. THIS HAS BEEN A LANCASTER TOYOTA TRAFFIC REPORT. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING FOR WEEKS NOW HOW THE WAR IN IRAN IS AFFECTING THE PRICE YOU PAY AT THE PUMP. THE STATE AVERAGE THIS MORNING IS NOW 470. THAT’S UP $0.06 OVERNIGHT. AND ONE MORE DATA POINT. PRICES NOW ARE 50% HIGHER THAN THEY WERE AT THE START OF THE WAR HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA. SO LET’S GO OUT TO NEWS EIGHT’S GABRIELLE THOMAS. SHE IS STANDING BY LIVE IN YORK COUNTY TO SHOW US THE PRICES AT THE PUMP BEHIND YOU. AND REALLY WHAT THIS MEANS, DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF CAR YOU DRIVE. GOOD MORNING, MATT AND KATELYN. WELL, $0.06 MAY SEEM LIKE A SMALL NUMBER, BUT I’M TELLING YOU, IT REALLY ADDS UP AT THE PUMP. I WANT TO BREAK DOWN HOW MUCH MORE YOU ARE PAYING HERE AT THE PUMP DUE TO THAT INCREASE. NOW, IF YOU DRIVE A SEDAN THAT HAS AROUND A TEN GALLON GAS TANK, YOU ARE PAYING $15.80 MORE ON AVERAGE TO FILL UP COMPARED TO THE START OF THE WAR. IF YOU DRIVE AN SUV WITH A 15 GALLON TANK, THAT PRICE BUMPS UP TO $24.70 MORE TO FILL UP. NOW, LET’S JUST SAY YOU DRIVE A TRUCK AND YOU HAVE AROUND A 36 GALLON GAS TANK THAT WILL COST $56.88 MORE THAN YOU PAID AT THE START OF THE WAR. NOW, TAKING A LOOK AROUND THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, THE LANCASTER AREA IS TAKING THE LEAD WHEN IT COMES TO THE AVERAGE PRICE FOR GAS SITTING AT 461. THE CAPITAL AREA AVERAGE IS 4.58 AROUND THE YORK AVERAGE FOR THE AREA IS 448 FOR REGULAR GAS. NOW, I WANT YOU TO TAKE A LOOK HERE AT THE GAS PRICES AT THIS RUTTER’S HERE IN SPRINGETTSBURY TOWNSHIP IN YORK COUNTY. REGULAR GAS SITTING AT 4.39. AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR GAS PRICES ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. REPORTING LIVE HERE IN SPRINGETTSBURY TOWNSHIP. I’M GABRIELLE THOMAS, WGAL NEWS 8. YOU’VE PROBABLY NOTICED THIS. IF YOU’VE GONE TO THE PUMP IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, BUT WE WANTED TO DO THAT MATH FOR YOU. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, GABRIELLE, FOR THAT. AND PRICES ARE NOT ONLY RISING FOR DRIVERS, BUT ALSO IF YOU HAVE ANY FLIGHTS COMING UP, WE’RE GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME SPECIFIC NUMBERS THIS MORNING. YEAH. THE AIRLINES ARE WARNING CUSTOMERS THAT THEY SHOULD EXPECT HIGHER TICKET PRICES BECAUSE JET FUEL COSTS CONTINUE TO GO UP AS WELL. NEW GOVERNMENT DATA SHOWS AIRLINES SPENT OVER 56% MORE ON JET FUEL IN THE MONTH AFTER THE WAR IN IRAQ BEGAN, AND CNBC REPORTS PRICES HAVE GONE UP SINCE THEN. SPIRIT AIRLINES, OF COURSE, WOULD SHUT DOWN OVER THE WEEKEND, SAYS THOSE FUEL PRICES ARE WHAT STOPPED IT FROM GETTING OUT OF BANKRUPTCY. BUT DESPITE ALL THESE RISING FEES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN PLACE FOR SOME AIRLINES, TRAVELERS STILL BOOKING FLIGHTS. INDUSTRY DATA SHOWS THAT TRAVEL AGENCY TICKET SALES WENT UP 12% IN MARCH COMPARED TO A YEAR AGO. SO LET’S GET TO WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THE WAR. YESTERDAY, THE U.S. MILITARY FIRED AT AN IRANIAN OIL TANKER OFF THE COUNTRY’S COAST, DISABLING THAT SHIP AS IT TRIED RUNNING PAST THE AMERICAN BLOCKADE. PRESIDENT TRUMP INSISTS THAT IRAN’S LEADERS WANT TO MAKE A DEAL TO END THE WAR, BUT HE HAS SAID THAT BEFORE. NEWS EIGHT’S RACHEL HIRSCHHEIMER IS JOINING US LIVE FROM OUR WASHINGTON BUREAU. GOOD MORNING, RACHEL. MATT AND CAITLIN, GOOD MORNING TO YOU BOTH. SO WE’VE HEARD PRESIDENT TRUMP SAY THIS BEFORE, THAT IRAN IS TRYING TO MAKE A DEAL WITH THE UNITED STATES. THAT IS WHY MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL REALLY SKEPTICAL. NOW, JUST YESTERDAY IN THE OVAL OFFICE, A REPORTER ASKED THE PRESIDENT WHY THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT. YOU’RE FACING AN OPPONENT RIGHT NOW IN IRAN THAT HAS REFUSED TO SUBMIT YOU BEEN OPTIMISTIC AS YOU MAY BE PUSHED THROUGH A DEAL. WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS MOMENT NOW AND OTHER MOMENTS WHERE THE DEAL HAS SEEMED CLOSE? WELL, WHY DO YOU SAY THEY REFUSE TO SUBMIT? YOU DON’T KNOW THAT. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON BEHIND U.S. SHIPS. A FEW DAYS AGO AND A FEW DAYS AGO IS A LONG TIME AGO. YOU KNOW, IN THE WORLD OF WAR. A FEW DAYS AGO. NO, THEY WANT TO MAKE A DEAL BADLY, AND WE’LL SEE IF WE GET THERE. IS REPORTING THE WHITE HOUSE BELIEVES IT’S CLOSE TO AN AGREEMENT BASED ON A ONE PAGE MEMORANDUM TO END THE WAR, WHICH INCLUDES A MORATORIUM ON URANIUM ENRICHMENT, LIFTING U.S. SANCTIONS AND OPENING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. NOW, IN A PHONE CALL WITH PBS, THE PRESIDENT SAID THAT IT IS POSSIBLE A DEAL COULD BE STRUCK TO END THE WAR BEFORE HIS TRIP. COMING UP TO CHINA NEXT WEEK. BUT JUST A FEW HOURS LATER, HE TOLD REPORTERS THERE IS NO DEADLINE TO REACH AN AGREEMENT. NOW, A SPOKESPERSON FOR IRAN’S FOREIGN MINISTRY SAID TEHRAN STRONGLY REJECTS THAT U.S. PROPOSAL. I MENTIONED THAT ONE PAGE MEMORANDUM, BUT ALSO ADDED RIGHT NOW THEY ARE REVIEWING THAT LATEST PROPOSAL. MATT. ALL RIGHT. AND, RACHEL, WE ALSO SAW THAT THERE’S SOME ACTIVITY NOW, AGAIN, BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IN LEBANON. ISRAEL LAUNCHED A STRIKE IN BEIRUT. THAT’S THE CAPITAL OF LEBANON. BUT THERE HAD BEEN A CEASE FIRE THERE. SO HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND IRAN? YEAH. SO ISRAELI OFFICIALS ON WEDNESDAY SAID THAT THE STRIKE ACTUALLY TARGETED A COMMANDER OF HEZBOLLAH. THAT IS, THE IRANIAN BACKED MILITANT GROUP. AND, MATT, THE REASON THIS IS SO NOTABLE, THIS CONFLICT IS NOTABLE IN REGARDS TO IRAN U.S. NEGOTIATIONS IS BECAUSE IRAN HAS DEMANDED IN THE PREVIOUS CEASE FIRE TALKS THAT STRIKES BETWEEN ISRAEL AND LEBANON NEED TO END. BUT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS SAID PREVIOUSLY THAT THAT WAS NEVER PART OF ANY SORT OF CEASE FIRE AGREEMENT OR PEACE PROPOSAL. SO IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF THIS PLAYS A ROLE IN ANY SORT OF COUNTER PROPOSAL THAT IRAN SENDS BACK TO THE U.S. YEAH, IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW MANY MOVING PIECES THERE ARE IN ALL OF THIS. THANKS, RACHEL. LIVE IN WASHINGTON. IT’S 607. IN LESS THAN A MONTH, YOU WILL PAY A FINE. IF A POLICE OFFICER SEES YOU WITH A PHONE, NOT IN A MOUNTED HOLDER. WHILE DRIVING. PAUL MILLER’S LAW HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE LAST YEAR, BUT STARTING NEXT MONTH, THAT’S WHEN THOSE FINES WILL KICK IN A $50 FINE. WHETHER THAT PHONE IS IN YOUR LAP OR IN YOUR HAND, SERIOUS INJURY OR FATAL CRASHES, AND A GOOD MAJORITY OF THOSE CRASHES, WE’VE NOTICED THAT CELL PHONES HAVE EITHER PLAYED A DIRECT ROLE OR A CONTRIBUTING ROLE IN CRASHES. NOW, UNDER THE LAW, YOUR PHONE CAN BE IN A HOLDER FOR THINGS LIKE NAVIGATION OR PHONE CALLS. PENNDOT SAYS THERE ARE ALSO EXEMPTIONS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND IF YOU’RE CALLING 911, THE STATE SENATE PASSED A BILL THAT WOULD INCREASE PENALTIES FOR CAUSING UNINTENTIONAL DEATHS ON THE ROAD. THE BILL WOULD UPGRADE THE PENALTY FOR A MISDEMEANOR CHARGE TO A FINE OF UP TO $2,500. RIGHT NOW, THE FINE IS $500. IT COULD ALSO LEAD TO A LICENSE SUSPENSION FOR UP TO TWO YEARS. THE BILL NOW GOES TO THE STATE HOUSE. THE STATE HOUSE DID PASS A BILL DESIGNED TO CRACK DOWN ON DEEPFAKE IMAGES TARGETING CHILDREN AND HOW THEY’RE REPORTED. THIS COMES AFTER A YEARS LONG INVESTIGATION INVOLVING LANCASTER COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL STUDENTS USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO CREATE NUDE IMAGES OF THEIR CLASSMATES. THE BILL’S AUTHOR SAYS IT’S THAT CASE THAT LED TO THIS BILL, WHICH IS MEANT TO MAKE SURE THAT CASES LIKE THAT ARE REPORTED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WHAT IT DOES IS MAKES SURE THAT ALL THE CATEGORIES OF MANDATED REPORTERS REPORT AI DEEP FAKES AS PART OF THE GROUP OF CONCERNS ABOUT CHILD ABUSE. WE WANT TO TAKE THE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF IT FOR MANDATED REPORTERS AND SAY, IF YOU SUSPECT SOMETHING OR YOU SEE AN IMAGE THAT IS A MINOR AND YOU DON’T KNOW IF IT’S FAKE OR REAL, REPORT IT ANYWAY. THAT BILL IS EXPECTED TO GO TO THE SENATE FOR A VOTE SOMETIME NEXT MONTH. TWO SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE CUTTING OR FURLOUGHING EMPLOYEES BECAUSE OF BUDGET CUTS. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF LANCASTER IS CUTTING 85 POSITIONS, WHILE THE WEST YORK SCHOOL DISTRICT SAYS IT’S CUTTING 20 FULL TIME STUDENT SUPPORT POSITIONS FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. SO THE WEST YORK TEACHERS UNION SAYS THE DISTRICT IS CUTTING, MAKING THOSE CUTS TO MAKE UP FOR A $4 MILLION BUDGET DEFICIT. THE UNION SAYS THAT FULL TIME POSITIONS, INCLUDING LEARNING SUPPORT STAFF, WILL BE CHANGED TO PART TIME POSITIONS FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. THAT MEANS THEY ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO WORK FOR A LITTLE OVER FIVE HOURS A DAY, AND THEY’LL ALSO LOSE THE BENEFITS THAT COME WITH THE FULL TIME POSITION. THIS COMES SIX MONTHS AFTER THE WEST YORK SCHOOL DISTRICT. THE SCHOOL BOARD THERE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED AN $18 MILLION ATHLETIC STADIUM PROJECT, AND WE’VE REPORTED ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF LANCASTER THAT JUST VOTED TO CUT 85 JOBS. NEWS EIGHT TALKED WITH THE DISTRICT’S SUPERINTENDENT. DOCTOR KEITH MILES SAID THAT THOSE CUTS WERE NECESSARY TO HELP FILL A $35 MILLION BUDGET SHORTFALL. DOCTOR MILES SAID HE KNOWS THIS IS PERSONAL AND SAYS HE’S AT LEAST THANKFUL THAT THE CUTS WERE SMALLER THAN ORIGINALLY PROJECTED IN MARCH. BUT THE TEACHERS SAY THE IMPACT IS REAL. EACH POSITION IS A PERSON. IT’S A FAMILY. THEY’RE OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. AND SO SEEING THE LIST KIND OF SHRINK WAS WAS GOOD TO SEE THESE CUTS ARE GOING TO HURT. I’M CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE MOVING FORWARD. THE SUPERINTENDENT ALSO SAYS TH
