<\/p>\nPolice: Shooting in Edgewood linked to crash in Pittsburgh’s Point Breeze<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWEATHER. SEVERE WEATHER ALERT TONIGHT. PITTSBURGH AND ALL OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA IS PREPARING FOR THE LARGEST SNOWFALL IN MORE THAN A DECADE. A GIANT STORM STRETCHING FROM THE SOUTH ALL THE WAY TO THE NORTHEAST. YOU CAN SEE THE SIZE OF THE STORM ON THE RADAR, GROWING IN INTENSITY AS IT MOVES INTO OUR PART OF THE COUNTRY. THANKS FOR JOINING US ON THIS SATURDAY NIGHT. I\u2019M YASMINE RODRIGUEZ IN FOR CHANDI CHAPMAN. TODAY IS A SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY. A WINTER STORM WARNING NOW IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE VIEWING AREA. OUR TEAM IS IN PLACE AS WE WALK YOU THROUGH WHAT\u2019S TO COME, NOT ONLY TONIGHT, BUT THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW AND INTO MONDAY. FIRST CHIEF METEOROLOGIST MIKE HARVEY. MIKE, ANY CHANGE IN THE TIMING OF THIS ALL? NO NOT REALLY. IT IS STILL MOVING AT ABOUT THE SAME PACE. WE\u2019LL START TO GET SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AS WE GO LATER INTO TONIGHT. THEN THE WIDESPREAD SNOW THAT\u2019S GOING TO ARRIVE AS WE GET INTO THE MORNING HOURS. AND THAT\u2019S WHAT MAKES THE STORM SO UNIQUE. IT IS A MASSIVE STORM THAT\u2019S MOVING IN, AND THAT\u2019S GOING TO LEAD TO WIDESPREAD SNOW ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. AND IT WILL BE CONTINUOUS FOR MOST OF THE DAY ON SUNDAY. OF COURSE, THAT\u2019S GOING TO LEAD TO VERY HIGH LEVELS OF SNOW ON THE GROUND. IT WILL START LATER TONIGHT. IT\u2019S GOING TO END MONDAY IN THE MORNING. SO THAT MEANS ALL DAY SUNDAY WE ARE LOOKING AT SNOW AND YOU CAN SEE HOW BIG THIS STORM IS FROM WHERE WE ARE ALL THE WAY BACK TOWARDS DALLAS, TEXAS. JUST BEGINNING TO MOVE INTO OUR LOCATION RIGHT ON OUR DOORSTEP AND GETTING READY TO MOVE IN. MOVING VERY SLOW TOWARDS US. SO AS WE GO INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS, THAT\u2019S WHEN WE\u2019LL START TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW MOVING FROM THE SOUTHWEST UP TO THE NORTHEAST. SO AS WE GO INTO TEN, 11:00, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW WORKS ITS WAY IN. BUT LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS BY THE TIME WE GET TO TWO, THREE, 4:00 IN THE MORNING, ALREADY BEGINNING TO SEE WIDESPREAD SNOW ACROSS THE REGION, AND IT JUST STAYS THAT WAY. THAT IS WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE. YOU CAN SEE THE WIDESPREAD SNOW ACROSS THE REGION, AND THAT\u2019S THE CASE AT 130 TO 2:00. AND THAT\u2019S ALSO THE CASE AS WE GO LATER IN THE DAY. THE ONLY PLACE THAT MIGHT SEE A WINTRY MIX IS DOWN TO THE SOUTH TOWARDS THE UNIONTOWN AREA AND DOWN TOWARDS GARRETT COUNTY AS WELL. AND THEN WE\u2019LL WRAP THIS UP AS WE GET INTO LATE ON SUNDAY AND EARLY ON MONDAY. WE DO HAVE 1 TO 2IN OF SNOW, LIKELY BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND SEVEN. THE BULK OF THE SNOW, THOUGH, IS GOING TO FALL BETWEEN 7 A.M. AND 4 P.M. WITH MORE ON THE SNOW TOTALS, LET\u2019S SEND IT OVER TO METEOROLOGIST JEFF VERSZYLA. ALL RIGHT. THANKS VERY MUCH, MIKE. YEAH, WE\u2019RE STILL HAVE THAT RANGE ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA OF 9 TO 12IN DURING THE SUNDAY TIME FRAME. THE NUMBERS ARE A LITTLE BIT LESS AS YOU GET A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH. WITH SOME OF THAT MIXING COULD OCCUR. WE HAVE THAT SORT OF PURPLE SHADED AREA IN THE 6 TO 9 INCH RANGE WITH SOME OF THAT MIX CUTTING DOWN THE OVERALL SNOW TOTALS THERE FROM MORGANTOWN, UP TOWARD UNIONTOWN, FARMINGTON, AND DOWN INTO GARRETT COUNTY, MARYLAND. THERE COULD BE SOME LOCALIZED SPOTS THAT GET SLIGHTLY MORE THAN THE 12IN AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. HERE\u2019S THE WAY IT\u2019S LOOKING RIGHT NOW AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER SETUPS ACROSS THE AREA IN TERMS OF SNOW TYPE, WHERE WE SEE SOME OF THAT SORT OF MOISTURE WORKING IN FROM THE SOUTH, THAT\u2019S GOING TO CREATE A HEAVIER, WETTER SNOW FROM I-70 ON SOUTH JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE ELSE, ESPECIALLY FROM PITTSBURGH ON NORTH, IT WILL BE A DRY, FLUFFIER SNOW AS WE HEAD THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY TOMORROW. SO SOME OF THE IMPACTS, OBVIOUSLY ROAD CONDITIONS WILL BECOME HAZARDOUS WHEN WE GET INTO SOME OF THOSE MORE MODERATE BURSTS OF SNOW THAT WILL REDUCE VISIBILITY AT TIMES. FOR ANYONE THAT\u2019S OUT DRIVING IN THESE CONDITIONS, TOMORROW COULD BE RATES OF ONE INCH PER HOUR, AND THIS WILL CARRY OVER INTO THE MONDAY COMMUTE AND PERHAPS BEYOND AS ROAD CREWS TRY AND PLAY, CATCH UP AND EVENTUALLY GET AROUND TO SOME OF THOSE SECONDARY AND TERTIARY ROADS, PROBABLY DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY, YASMIN, JEFF, THANKS. WELL, ALREADY TONIGHT CREWS ARE LOADING UP AND PRETREATING ROADS LOCAL OFFICIALS URGING PEOPLE TO STAY HOME IF POSSIBLE. ONCE THAT SNOW BEGINS. PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER FELICITY TAYLOR CONTINUES OUR COVERAGE NOW WITH HOW THE CITY PLANS TO BE PREPARED. FELICITY. WELL, YASMIN, WE\u2019RE HERE AT A SALT PILE IN BEECHVIEW AND A LOT OF IT IS ALREADY OUT ON THE ROADS RIGHT NOW. CREWS HAVE ALREADY STARTED PRE-TREATING AHEAD OF THE LATE NIGHT SNOWFALL, AND THEY SAY ONCE THE SNOW STARTS, EVEN MORE TRUCKS ARE GOING TO TAKE TO THE ROADS. ALLEGHENY COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS SAYS THEY ARE DEPLOYING 26 TRUCKS WITH SNOWPLOWS TO HANDLE THE 357 MILES OF COUNTY MAINTAINED ROADS. OUR DRIVERS WILL BE WORKING 12 HOUR SHIFTS, SO WE HAVE 24 HOUR COVERAGE TO ENSURE CONTINUOUS COVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE STORM. THE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT PRIORITIZE SPECIFIC ROADS, INSTEAD, DRIVERS FOLLOW STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED ROUTES TO MAXIMIZE SPEED AND EFFICIENCY. IN THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH, MAYOR COREY O\u2019CONNOR SAYS 35 TRUCKS ARE CURRENTLY PRETREATING ROADS UNTIL 10 P.M., 65 TRUCKS WILL BE ON THE ROADS OVERNIGHT UNTIL 6 A.M., AND THEN 85 TRUCKS WILL GO ON SHIFT FROM 6 A.M. TO 2 P.M. WE ARE HAVING OUR GARAGE STAY OPEN 24 OVER SEVEN THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, SO IF THERE IS A MECHANICAL ISSUE, THERE\u2019S A PLACE WHERE THE TRUCK CAN GO. O\u2019CONNOR SAYS HE\u2019S RESTARTED THE COMMAND CENTER FROM THE CITY COUNTY BUILDING. IT\u2019S EQUIPPED WITH MONITORS, CAMERAS AND EXTRA STAFF WORKING THROUGH THE NIGHT. OUR PRIORITIES ARE, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE OUR RESIDENTS ARE SAFE, OUR CREWS ARE SAFE, AND OUR FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE THE TOOLS THAT THEY NEED TO GET THROUGH THIS. THERE\u2019S STILL TIME TO PREPARE YOURSELF AND YOUR HOME BEFORE THE SNOW STARTS FALLING. PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR STOPPED BY EV HARDWARE IN BETHEL PARK, WHERE THE GENERAL MANAGER SAYS SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN FLYING OFF THE SHELVES SINCE THURSDAY. HE SAYS THE BIG TICKET ITEMS ARE SHOVELS, SALT HEATERS AND GENERATORS. WHEN BUYING SALT, HE SAYS ROCK SALT WON\u2019T DO THE TRICK FOR THESE CONDITIONS, YOU NEED A CALCIUM CHLORIDE OR MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE. BLEND. THOSE WORK DOWN TO MINUS TEN -20 DEGREES. ROCK SALT WILL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF TRACTION, BUT IT WILL NOT MELT THE ICE. YOU REALLY WON\u2019T NEED THE SALT UNTIL IT\u2019S TIME, YOU KNOW, UNTIL IT SLOWS DOWN A LITTLE BIT TO GET THAT FINAL LAYER MELTED. AND SOME SAFETY RULES FOR SPACE HEATERS. THE BIG THING WITH SPACE HEATERS IS MAKE SURE YOU DON\u2019T USE AN EXTENSION CORD. PLUG THE HEATER DIRECTLY INTO YOUR OUTLET. YOU DON\u2019T WANT TO USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH ANY SPACE HEATERS AND GENERATORS. THOSE GENERATORS SHOULD BE OUTDOORS. THEY SHOULD BE AT LEAST TEN FEET AWAY FROM THE STRUCTURE, AND YOU SHOULD BE TAKING A GOOD LOOK AT THAT EXHAUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS NOT TRACKING BACK INTO YOUR HOME AGAIN. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A DEADLY KILLER AND IT IS SILENT. OFFICIALS ARE REMINDING FOLKS TO CALL 311 FOR ANY SNOW REMOVAL ISSUES, AND THEN 911 IN CASE OF ANY EMERGENCY COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY IN PITTSBURGH\u2019S BEECHVIEW NEIGHBORHOOD. I\u2019M FELICITY TAYLOR, PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR. FELICITY. THANK YOU. WELL, WITH THE MASSIVE WINTER STORM WREAKING HAVOC ON AIR TRAVEL, MORE THAN 8000 FLIGHTS ALREADY CANCELED FOR TOMORROW AND MORE THAN 1100 FLIGHTS ARE CANCELED FOR MONDAY.

PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR FIRST CONFIRMING THE NEWS THIS AFTERNOON, AND THEN THE TEAM MAKING A FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT. ASHLEY AIXA DIAZ IS HERE. ASHLEY, WHAT A HOMECOMING. IT CAME AS A BIT OF A SURPRISE. YASMIN. WE KNEW ALL ALONG THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THE STEELERS COULD HIRE MIKE MCCARTHY, BUT IT FELT LIKE HE WOULD BE THE SAFE HIRE. HE\u2019S BEEN THERE, DONE THAT AND HAS VERY SIMILAR RESUME TO MIKE TOMLIN. BOTH GUYS HAVE WON A SUPER BOWL. BOTH HAVE EIGHT DIVISION TITLES. BOTH EVEN HAVE SIMILAR WINNING PERCENTAGES. WE\u2019RE ASKING WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE STEELERS HIRING MCCARTHY ON THE WTAE FACEBOOK PAGE. HEAD OVER AND LET US KNOW. HERE\u2019S WHAT OUR MAYOR, COREY O\u2019CONNOR, TOLD US RIGHT AFTER NEWS BROKE. I LOVE MIKE. MIKE\u2019S A GREAT GUY. I MEAN, I THINK HAVING A GREENFIELD GUY IS PERFECT. YOU KNOW, MIKE HAS ALWAYS GIVEN BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. KNOWING HIM FOR A VERY LONG TIME. SEE HIM IN A LOT OF EVENTS AT SAINT ROSALIA\u2019S. SO, YOU KNOW, HE IS A GREAT HIRE. ASSUMING THE RUMOR IS TRUE. BUT I THINK HE\u2019S A TRUE PITTSBURGHER. AND IF YOU WERE LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY THAT REPRESENTS OUR CITY, THAT\u2019S THE GUY. HE\u2019S PITTSBURGH THROUGH AND THROUGH. AND, YOU KNOW, REALLY, REALLY EXCITED. IF THAT\u2019S THE CONFIRMATION. BUT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXCITED THAT IT\u2019S MIKE. HE\u2019S SUCH A GOOD GUY AND MASCOT. THAT RUMOR IS, IN FACT, TRUE. WELL, IN AN UNRELATED HIRING JUST MOMENTS AGO, ESPN REPORTED THAT STEELERS OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR ARTHUR SMITH WILL BE THE NEXT OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR AT OHIO STATE. AHEAD IN SPORTS, WE\u2019LL HEAR FROM SPORTS COLUMNIST TIM BENZ ABOUT THE HIRING OF MIKE MCCARTHY. AND WE\u2019LL TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS FOR AARON RODGERS FUTURE IN PITTSBURGH. YASMIN, ASHLEY.
