AHEAD OF THE DRAFT. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO START YOUR WORKWEEK. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR THIS MORNING STARTS NOW. WE BEGIN THIS MORNING WITH PITTSBURGH’S ACTION WEATHER. WE’RE EXPECTING A WARM UP THIS WEEK. BUT FIRST, WE DO HAVE AN IMPACT DAY FOR TOMORROW. GOOD MORNING. IT’S NINE THIS MORNING. WE’RE JOINING. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I’M YASMINE RODRIGUEZ AND YOU KNOW METEOROLOGIST JILL SZWED. SHE’S HERE WITH YOUR CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. AND IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY AS YOU SAW WITH THE ACTION CAMERA TO KEEP THAT SUNSHINE ROLLING FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. WITH OUR WARM UP THIS WEEK WILL COME DAILY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS. LOOKS LIKE BEST CHANCE TOMORROW MORNING WILL BE DURING YOUR MORNING DRIVE. THAT’S THE REASON FOR THE IMPACT DAY, AND EVENTUALLY WE’LL SETTLE INTO A STRING OF DAYS WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 80S MAGE TO 51. NOW WITH SOME HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE REGION, MORE CLOUDS WILL BUILD AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE DAY, JUST AS THOSE TEMPERATURES PICK UP. PICK UP ON THIS FOR ONE TWO DAY AS WE WORK INTO THE AFTERNOON. MUCH WARMER WITH TEMPERATURES CRUISING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S. SKIES WILL BE PARTLY CLOUDY BY THIS EVENING. LET’S FAST FORWARD TO TOMORROW MORNING. AS YOU’RE WAKING UP, SKIES WILL BE CLOUDY. A FEW SHOWERS OUT THERE. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY SHOWING UP AROUND EIGHT 9:00 IN THE MORNING. SO JUST AS MANY WILL BE HITTING THE ROADS. KIDDOS ON THE SIDEWALK WAITING FOR THE BUS AT THE BUS STOP TOO. PRETTY QUICKLY THINGS WILL DRY OUT AFTER ABOUT 11:00. SO REALLY SHORT LIVED IMPACT DAY. THAT’S MORE FOR THE TIMING OF THOSE SHOWERS THAT COULD AGAIN SLOW THINGS DOWN ON THE ROADS. HERE COME THE 80S, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND EVEN BEYOND. ALSO HELP YOU PLAN AHEAD FOR A FEW SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES WITH THE REST OF YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE IN A FEW MINUTES. JOE. THANK YOU. WILL BREAKING NEWS OVERNIGHT HISTORIC FACE TO FACE TALKS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND IRAN THIS WEEKEND, BUT THEY FAILED TO REACH A DEAL. THE WHITE HOUSE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY COMMENT ON NEXT STEPS, OR WHETHER THE TWO WEEK CEASE FIRE AGREEMENT WILL CONTINUE. VICE PRESIDENT J.D. VANCE LEFT THOSE NEGOTIATIONS IN PAKISTAN, SAYING THAT IRAN REFUSED TO AGREE TO THEIR TERMS. THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT WE NEED TO SEE AN AFFIRMATIVE COMMITMENT THAT THEY WILL NOT SEEK A NUCLEAR WEAPON, AND THEY WILL NOT SEEK THE TOOLS THAT WOULD ENABLE THEM TO QUICKLY ACHIEVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. THAT IS THE CORE GOAL OF THE UNITED STATES. AND THAT’S WHAT WE’VE TRIED TO ACHIEVE THROUGH THESE NEGOTIATIONS. IRAN’S FOREIGN MINISTRY SAID NEGOTIATIONS FELL APART DUE TO DIFFERENCES ON 2 OR 3 IMPORTANT ISSUES, BUT DID NOT ELABORATE FURTHER. THE NEXT STEPS WEREN’T IMMEDIATELY CLEAR. PAKISTANI MEDIATORS URGED BOTH SIDES TO CONTINUE ABIDING BY THAT TWO WEEK CEASEFIRE, AS THE COUNTRY TRIES TO FACILITATE MORE TALKS IN THE COMING DAYS. NEW OVERNIGHT FIRE CREWS BATTLED FLAMES IN BALDWIN BOROUGH, ALLEGHENY COUNTY. THE TWO ALARM STRUCTURE FIRE HAPPENED ON GRAY STREET JUST BEFORE TWO THIS MORNING. THAT SCENE IS NOW CLEAR AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. RIGHT NOW, EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY TO REPAIR A WATER MAIN BREAK IN MONROEVILLE. IT WAS BIG ENOUGH TO CLOSE PART OF ROUTE 22 NEAR OLD WILLIAM PENN HIGHWAY. AT ONE POINT, THE ROAD WAS FLOODED. THAT BREAK LEFT A MUDDY MESS BETWEEN ROUTE 22 AND BEATTY ROAD. WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE WATER AUTHORITY TO LEARN HOW MANY HOMES AND BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. HAPPENING TODAY. FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE EXPECTED TO GATHER TO HONOR THE LIFE OF A SHOOTING VICTIM KILLED JUST DAYS BEFORE HIS BIRTHDAY IN BEAVER COUNTY, 28 YEAR OLD STEFAN PEAK WAS SHOT ON EIGHTH AVENUE IN BEAVER FALLS LAST WEEKEND. DISTRICT ATTORNEY NATE BIBLE SAYS PEAK WAS WITH A FRIEND HEADED INTO HER BEAVER FALLS APARTMENT WHEN A MAN WALKED UP, SAID A FEW WORDS TO PEAK, THEN SHOT HIM. THE VICTIM’S MOTHER SAID THE SHOOTING ULTIMATELY STEMMED FROM AN EXCHANGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AUTHORITIES SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE ANYONE IN CUSTODY AT THIS TIME, BUT ARE FOLLOWING SEVERAL LEADS. A BALLOON RELEASE FOR STEFAN PEAK IS PLANNED FOR TODAY IN ALIQUIPPA THIS MORNING. WE’RE STILL WORKING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT A LARGE POLICE PRESENCE IN PITTSBURGH’S GARFIELD NEIGHBORHOOD SATURDAY. WE KNOW ONE PERSON WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL FROM THIS SCENE. IT HAPPENED ON ROSETTA STREET NEAR HILLCREST STREET. OUR CREW ON SCENE FOUND SEVERAL POLICE CARS AND AN AMBULANCE. THE SHOTSPOTTER DETECTION SYSTEM CAUGHT POSSIBLE GUNFIRE IN THE AREA. WE WILL BRING YOU THE LATEST WHEN WE LEARN MORE INFORMATION. PITTSBURGH POLICE OFFICERS SHOT AND KILLED A DOG AFTER THEY SAY IT BIT A DETECTIVE WHO WAS TRYING TO SERVE A WARRANT, ACCORDING TO PITTSBURGH PUBLIC SAFETY, OFFICERS WERE SENT TO KNOX AVENUE IN THE CITY’S KNOXVILLE NEIGHBORHOOD YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. THEY ENCOUNTERED A MAN WITH AN OUTSTANDING WARRANT, AND THAT’S WHEN THE CHASE STARTED. POLICE SAY DURING THE PURSUIT, A DOG ESCAPED FROM THE MAN’S APARTMENT AND ATTACKED THE OFFICERS. A DETECTIVE WAS BITTEN ON THE ARM AND TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL IN STABLE CONDITION. OTHER OFFICERS SHOT THAT DOG. THE SUSPECT WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY COVERING ARMSTRONG COUNTY. THE TRIAL BEGINS TOMORROW FOR A WOMAN FACING MULTIPLE CHARGES AFTER THREE DEAD INFANTS WERE FOUND INSIDE A HOME. CHARGES AGAINST JESSICA MOSS INCLUDE HOMICIDE AND ABUSE OF A CORPSE, ACCORDING TO A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT. THE INVESTIGATION BEGAN WHEN HER LANDLORD DISCOVERED ONE OF THE BODIES WHEN MOTH WAS EVICTED FROM HER HOME IN CADOGAN TOWNSHIP. POLICE SAY THEY FOUND THE REMAINING BODIES THROUGHOUT THE HOME. SHE’S CURRENTLY BEING HELD IN THE ARMSTRONG COUNTY JAIL, A CITYWIDE TRAINING INITIATIVE IS UNDERWAY TO HELP PREVENT HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN PITTSBURGH, ESPECIALLY DURING THE NFL DRAFT. THE PITTSBURGH BASED NONPROFIT EDEN’S FARM SUPPORTS VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING. YESTERDAY, A TRAINING SESSION WAS HELD. THEY’VE FOCUSED ON EDUCATING DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING HOSPITALITY STAFF, HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, FAITH LEADERS, EDUCATORS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES. A LOT OF IT IS JUST UNDERSTANDING THAT WHAT TRAFFICKING IS AND THAT IT’S HAPPENING ALL THE TIME AND THAT IT’S IN OUR CITY, RIGHT? AND SO GIVING THE AWARENESS OF EXPLOITATION, TRAFFICKING 101 AND GROOMING IS THE BIG PIVOTAL PART OF WHAT WE’RE DOING. WHILE EDEN’S FARM ALWAYS PROVIDES COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND HELPS VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING, THEY SAY THE SIGNS OF EXPLOITATION AND RESPOND EFFECTIVELY COULD CHANGE IN THE CONTEXT OF A LARGE SCALE PUBLIC EVENT. EDEN’S FARM WILL BE OPEN AND STAFFED WITH RESOURCES THROUGHOUT THE DRAFT AT THEIR WEST END LOCATION, AND WE’RE JUST 11 DAYS FROM THE NFL DRAFT.

THAT MAKES THE SURGE OF 700,000 PEOPLE FEEL ALL THE MORE REAL FOR PITTSBURGHERS. WHAT AN UNDERTAKING. IT’S JUST SO COOL TO SEE THAT. I MEAN, IN OUR CITIES, IT’LL BE IT’LL BE A CHALLENGE. BUT I THINK THE CITY’S UP FOR IT, SO IT’LL BE COOL. AND DO YOU PLAN ON COMING DOWN? I PROBABLY MAYBE ONE OF THE DAYS REALLY DEPENDS HOW TO GET HERE. YOU KNOW, WITH THOSE CROWDS, PUBLIC SAFETY AND SECURITY IS A MAJOR CONCERN. PITTSBURGH PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCED LAST WEEK AN INCREASED PRESENCE FROM LOCAL AND FEDERAL AGENCIES.
