Washington County DA: 10 arrests made in connection to August incident, details under seal
SEVEN STARTS NOW. WE ARE GOING TO BEGIN WITH PITTSBURGH’S ACTION WEATHER IN A LIVE LOOK OVER OUR CITY. HAVE THAT SNOW BRUSH ON STANDBY. YOU MAY NEED IT TOMORROW MORNING AGAIN. THANKS FOR JOINING US HERE FOR THE NEWS ON COZI TV. I’M MIKE CLARK. OUR CHIEF METEOROLOGIST, MIKE HARVEY, IS LEADING US OFF WITH YOUR CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. WE’RE REALLY GETTING THAT TASTE OF WINTER THIS WEEK. A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS, RIGHT. TOMORROW MORNING, WE’LL HAVE THE SNOW THAT WILL MOVE IN. IT WILL BE PRETTY LIGHT. AND THEN THE FRIGID TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE CAN EXPECT TOMORROW MORNING. THIS IS GOING TO BE LIGHT AND WE’RE NOT EXPECTING A LOT OF SNOW OUT OF THIS. I WOULD SAY A HALF AN INCH OF SNOW IS GOING TO BE THE MEAN POINT, AND MOST LOCATIONS, JUST ABOUT ALL LOCATIONS WILL BE UNDER AN INCH OF RAIN. SO KIND OF BETWEEN A DUSTING AND A COATING IS WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT. IT WILL BE OUT OF HERE AS WE GET TO THE MID MORNING HOURS, AND WE’RE ACTUALLY GOING TO SEE SOME SUNSHINE AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY. TEMPERATURE WISE, IT IS GOING TO BE COLD OUT THERE TOMORROW. WE’RE LOOKING AT SNOW SHOWERS EXITING BEFORE NOON, A HIGH OF 31 DEGREES. THAT LIKELY HAPPENS RIGHT AT NOON, AND THEN TEMPERATURES START TO GO DOWN AND THEY’RE HEADING DOWN TOWARDS 11 DEGREES. ON FRIDAY MORNING. THE WIND WILL PICK UP AS WELL AS A COLD FRONT ROLLS THROUGH. GUSTS UP TO AROUND 20MPH. SO AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS, 31 DEGREES FOR YOUR HIGH ON THURSDAY, IMPACT DAY FOR FRIDAY. BECAUSE OF THE FRIGID COLD TEMPERATURES, THAT COULD BE A RECORD. THE RECORD IS 12 DEGREES SET BACK IN 1976. SO IF WE DO HIT 11, THEN THAT WILL BE THE COLDEST FOR THAT DATE. WE GO INTO THE WEEKEND AND HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID 30S. ALL RIGHT MIKE, THANKS. AND REMEMBER YOU CAN STAY AHEAD OF THE WINTER WEATHER THIS YEAR WITH OUR FREE WTAE APP. YOU CAN TRACK CONDITIONS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH OUR INTERACTIVE RADAR AND TURN ON THOSE ALERTS TO KNOW FIRST WHEN WEATHER WILL IMPACT YOUR PLANS TODAY. APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR LIGHTUP. THAT’S THE LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THOSE APPLICATIONS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN LAST MONTH, BUT WERE DELAYED BY THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER CHANDI CHAPMAN EXPLAINS HOW TO UTILIZE THAT PROGRAM. WINTER WEATHER IS HERE, AND THE DELAY IN THE LIGHTUP PROGRAM IS NOW OVER. PEOPLE CAN GO INSIDE THIS BUILDING AND FILL OUT AN APPLICATION TO GET HELP ON THEIR ENERGY BILLS. THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA IS NOW TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR THE LIHEAP PROGRAM. THE PROCESS WAS DELAYED BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. IT USUALLY STARTS IN NOVEMBER. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO PROCESS FUNDING FOR APPLICATIONS BECAUSE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. BUT WE IF WE RECEIVE AN APPLICATION, WE WERE ABLE TO CHECK ON THE ELIGIBILITY FOR THAT AND SORT OF HAVE IT READY TO GO ONCE WE WERE ABLE TO. SO AS OF TODAY, WE’RE WORKING ON THOSE STATES RECEIVE LIHEAP FUNDING THROUGH A FEDERAL BLOCK GRANT. LIHEAP STANDS FOR LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. IT HELPS ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLDS PAY HEATING BILLS BY SENDING PAYMENTS DIRECTLY TO THEIR UTILITY COMPANY OR FUEL PROVIDER. COMPANIES LIKE DUQUESNE HEIGHTS SAY THEY ARE GLAD THE PROGRAM IS BACK BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER. TEMPERATURES DROPPED THIS WEEK. WE SAW OUR FIRST SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL AND WE AND WE KNOW THIS IS THE TIME WHERE CUSTOMERS ARE REACHING OUT AND ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE AND LOOKING FOR OTHER AVENUES FOR SUPPORT. DUQUESNE HEIGHTS SUGGESTS CUSTOMERS USE LIGHTUP OR SIGN UP FOR THEIR PAYMENT OPTIONS. DUQUESNE HEIGHTS COMPANY OFFERS AN ARRAY OF PROGRAMS FOR CUSTOMERS WHO MIGHT NEED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR EXPERIENCING HARDSHIP. WE HAVE ONE OF OUR MOST POPULAR PROGRAMS, WHICH IS CALLED OUR CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES REALLY A FIXED BILL. ALL OF THE UTILITY COMPANIES PROGRAMS CAN BE FOUND ON THEIR WEBSITE.
