Thousands left without power after intense storms in Western Pa. Saturday
AND ANOTHER ROUGH OUTING FOR MITCH KELLER. THIS IS THE PITTSBURGH’S ACTION WEATHER 4 SEVERE WEATHER ALERT. GOOD MORNING. IT’S 9:00 ON THE NOSE. I’M CARLOS FLORES, AND LIKE YOU HEARD IT THERE, IT’S A SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY, SO WE HAD TO BRING IN JILL SZWED WEATHER CERTIFIED. MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. AND WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR SEVERAL DAYS NOW. IT’S BEEN VERY DRY. DELIGHTFUL THOUGH HERE FOR THE START OF JUNE. BUT IT’S NOT ONLY RAIN, BUT THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE COMING OUR WAY THIS AFTERNOON, SO WE’LL BE WEATHER AWARE STARTING AS EARLY AS 2:00 THIS AFTERNOON. THAT’S PRIMARILY FOR THOSE OF YOU CLOSER TO I-80. BUT AS WE SWING INTO THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH, AREAS AROUND ALLEGHENY COUNTY, BETWEEN ABOUT FOUR AND SIX, THINGS ARE GOING TO BE HOPPING ON THE RADAR. AND THOSE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MARCH SOUTHWARD AS WE GO INTO THE EVENING, EVENTUALLY BREAKING DOWN. BY THE TIME THEY REACH THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER, AS WE GET CLOSER TO SUNSET. RIGHT NOW, 71 DEGREES, A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE COMING IN OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST. IT’S GOING TO HELP TO GET THE ATMOSPHERE SET FOR THOSE THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE AFTERNOON. I’VE BEEN TRACKING A FEW LITTLE SPRINKLES. WE’RE STILL SEEING A FEW LITTLE BLIPS ON THE RADAR WORKING THROUGH EASTERN PARTS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, GETTING CLOSE TO THE STATION, ALSO RIGHT UP ALONG THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS, NOW CROSSING OVER INTO SOMERSET COUNTY. BUT AS WE LOOK INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY, THAT’S THE WINDOW FOR STORMS WILL OPEN UP. WE’LL SEE SOME SCATTERED ACTIVITY INITIALLY. THEN A LINE STARTS TO FORM AND THAT’S WHERE THE STORMS REALLY COULD PACK SOME DAMAGING WINDS. WE’RE PAST HERE AROUND 6:00, 630. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT ACTION STARTING TO PUSH INTO PARTS OF WASHINGTON. ALLEGHENY ROLL OUT OF BUTLER, ARMSTRONG AND INDIANA COUNTIES. EVERYTHING WILL CONTINUE TO PRESS TOWARDS THE SOUTH AND WEST, BUT STILL SOME HEAVY RAIN. AND OF COURSE, THOSE SEVERE RISKS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH ABOUT 10:00 TONIGHT. I’LL BE TIMING OUT THOSE STORMS. AND ALSO THEN WE’LL LOOK AHEAD TO THE REST OF THE WEEKEND, WHICH DOES IMPROVE IN YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST. THANK YOU JILL, AS JILL’S WORKING HARD TO TRACK THOSE STORMS, YOU ALSO CAN STAY AHEAD BY DOWNLOADING THE FREE WTAE APP. YOU CAN FOLLOW THE INTERACTIVE RADAR AND TURN ON THOSE ALERTS TO KNOW IF ANY WATCHES OR WARNINGS ARE ISSUED FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. MORGAN WALLEN IS BACK AT STADIUM AGAIN TONIGHT FOR HIS SECOND SHOW IN PITTSBURGH. BUT LAST NIGHT, A MOMENT A LOT OF FANS WERE WAITING ON. WHICH PITTSBURGH LEGEND WOULD HE BRING OUT ON STAGE? WELL, WE GOT THE ANSWER. IT’S WRESTLING LEGEND KURT ANGLE. SOME COOL STUFF. AND OF COURSE, IT’S A VERY BUSY WEEKEND IN THE CITY. ON TOP OF THE CONCERT, THE THREE RIVERS ARTS FESTIVAL KICKED OFF YESTERDAY, AND PITTSBURGH PRIDE IS THIS WEEKEND. REPORTER DARIO IS ON THE NORTH SHORE WITH A LOOK AT IT ALL. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL BE IN PITTSBURGH THIS WEEKEND, AND THERE’S A LOT GOING ON. THE THREE RIVER ARTS FESTIVAL IS BACK, AS WELL AS PITTSBURGH PRIDE. BUT FOR MANY, THE FUN STARTED WITH MORGAN WALLEN’S RETURN TO THE STEEL CITY. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE WAITED YEARS TO SEE MORGAN WALLEN BACK IN THE BURG. LOTS OF TEXT MESSAGES AND LOTS OF BEING IN THE QUEUE AND TRYING TO GET TICKETS TOGETHER. I GOT HER CHRISTMAS PRESENT TICKETS SO SHE HAD TO GET HIM BECAUSE SHE MISSED LAST YEAR AND THEY’VE WAITED EVEN LONGER TO SEE HIM IN THE LARGEST VENUE IN THE CITY. HE WAS AT STAR LAKE THEN PNC. NOW HE’S AN ACTOR. WALLEN SHOWS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ARE DRAWING PEOPLE FROM MULTIPLE STATES. WE WANTED TO COME OUT HERE BECAUSE A COUPLE OF OUR BUDDIES ARE OUT HERE, SO IT’S BETTER THAN NOTHING. WE WANTED TO SEE MORGAN BECAUSE HE’S THE BEST. AND MANY MADE THEIR WAY TO THE NORTH SHORE HOWEVER THEY COULD. IT’S HIS BOAT. WE BROUGHT IT RIGHT UP TO THE WATER. SO, I MEAN, IT’S WHAT A BETTER PLACE TO TAILGATE RIGHT ON THE RIVER. BUT THIS BUSY WEEKEND ONLY STARTED WITH WALLEN, THE THREE RIVER ARTS FESTIVAL AND PITTSBURGH PRIDE OFFICIALS SAY THEY’VE COORDINATED WITH EACH OTHER AND THE CITY TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO COME DOWNTOWN FOR THEIR EVENTS CAN DO SO. WE DO HAVE TRANSPORTATION FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE PARKING DOWNTOWN. THIS MAP SHOWS THE PRIDE PARADE ROUTE FROM DOWNTOWN TO ALLEGHENY COMMONS PARK, AND THOSE WITH THE PITTSBURGH CULTURAL TRUST SAY THEY’RE READY TO HOST ARTS FEST FOR THE FIRST TIME AT ARTS LANDING. THIS IS PITTSBURGH’S START TO THE SUMMER, AND WE’RE GOING TO MAKE IT A GOOD ONE THIS YEAR. ORGANIZERS HOPE ALL OF THE CROWDS FIND WAYS TO CROSS OVER TO ALL THREE EVENTS. WE LOVE ALL THE ALLIES THAT COME AND VISIT, AND ALL OF THE COMMUNITY COMES AND VISITS AS WELL. FOR ALL THE PARKING AND LOGISTICAL INFORMATION FOR ALL THREE EVENTS THIS WEEKEND, YOU CAN FIND THE LINKS TO THAT@WTAE.COM. COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY ON THE NORTH SHORE AT PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR THIS MORNING, PRIDE PARADE THIS MORNING, PRIDE PARADE ORGANIZERS HAVE AN UPDATE ON FUNDING. LAST MONTH, WE TOLD YOU ABOUT A SIGNIFICANT DROP OFF IN SPONSORSHIPS THIS YEAR, BUT LEADERS TELL US SUNDAY’S PARADE WILL NOT LOOK ANY DIFFERENT. WE DID NOT DOWNSIZE THIS YEAR AT ALL WHATSOEVER. WE WERE HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF FUNDING ISSUES AT THE BEGINNING, BUT WE PUT A CALL OUT TO COMMUNITY, AND COMMUNITY CAME THROUGH AND A REALLY BIG WAY. SPONSORS STILL INCLUDE SHEETZ AND U.S. STEEL. THIS MORNING, WE HAVE AN UPDATE ON INVESTIGATION INTO PITTSBURGH’S FIRE CHIEF, WHO WAS PUT ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE EARLIER THIS WEEK. OUR PARTNERS AT THE TRIB SAY THEY’VE LEARNED CHIEF DARRYL JONES FAILED TO FILE REQUIRED FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES ABOUT POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

SKY 4 FLYING OVER THAT SCENE YOU SEE THERE, RIGHT THERE ON YOUR SCREEN. POLICE SAY A BLACK PICKUP TRUCK TOWING A FLATBED TRAILER WAS IN FRONT OF A VAN. A LARGE, SHARP PIECE OF METAL FLEW OFF FROM THE TRAILER THROUGH THE VAN’S WINDSHIELD. THE SECOND ROW PASSENGER WAS STRUCK IN THE HEAD. THAT PERSON WAS FLOWN TO THE HOSPITAL IN SERIOUS CONDITION. THE DRIVER WAS ALSO TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE PICKUP DIDN’T STAY ON SCENE. ANYONE WITH INFORMATION ON THAT INCIDENT SHOULD CONTACT POLICE. THE FBI SAYS IT ARRESTED FIVE PEOPLE IN A MAJOR DRUG TRAFFICKING BUST IN LAWRENCE COUNTY. THEY SAY THEY SEIZED GUNS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN CASH AND DRUGS. THE FBI SAYS THE GROUP GOT THE DRUGS IN MICHIGAN AND CAME BACK TO NEW CASTLE TO DISTRIBUTE. WE’LL SPEND EVERY RESOURCE AND TRAVEL EVERY MILE TO TRACK YOU DOWN AND BRING YOU TO JUSTICE. WE SIMPLY WILL NOT STOP IN OUR IN OUR MISSION TO PROTECT THIS COMMUNITY. THIS IS A PART OF OPERATION SUMMER HEAT 2.0, A NATIONWIDE PUSH BY THE FBI TO COMBAT DRUG TRAFFICKING.

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WARREN, WHO IS A GRADUATING SENIOR, TOLD US HE HAD TO RELEARN HOW TO SPEAK AND BALANCE HIMSELF. HE WAS DECLARED CANCER FREE LAST JUNE. HE EARNED THE COURAGE AWARD AND BECAME A HALL OF FAMER. I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT I THAT I MADE IT THIS FAR. LIKE A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. IF YOU TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE HERE OR EVEN ALIVE IN GENERAL, I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE INSANE. NOTHING BUT MIRACLES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING TO ME, AND THIS FEELS LIKE ANOTHER BLESSING FROM ABOVE.
