BECAUSE A LOT OF KIDS AREN'T 
TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. 
THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH 
REPORTS 60 STUDENTS AND EIGHT 
FACULTY AND STAFF HAVE TESTED 
POSITIVE FOR COVID-19. 
JUST LAST WEEK THEY HAD 46 
POSITIVE CASES AMONG STUDENTS

UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS SAY THIS 
IS PRIMARILY AMONG STUDENTS 
LIVING OFF CAMPUS IN PLACES 
LIKE THIS IN OAKLAND. 
THEY CALL THE BEHAVIOR 
CONCERNING, AND IF THEY DON'T 
STOP THE SPREAD NOW, IT MAY 
JEOPARDIZE THE SUCCESS OF THE

JUST 10 POSITIVE COVID CASES ON 
CAMPUS SINCE MARCH WITH JUST 
ONE NEW CASE IN AUGUST. 
AND DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY HAS NOT 
REPORTED ANY POSITIVE CASES ON

>>> IT'S CLOUDY OUT THERE, IT'S 
HUMID, AND WE'VE BEEN TRACKING 
SOME PERIODS OF RAIN, WET 
WEATHER OUT THERE THIS MORNING. 
YOU CAN SEE THIS AFTERNOON THE 
TEMPERATURE IS IN THE MID-70s, 
AND IT'S THE AIR YOU CAN WEAR. 
IT FEELS VERY TROPICAL LIKE OUT 
THERE TODAY. 
HERE'S A LIVE LOOK AT OUR STORM 
TRACKER DOPPLER 11 RADAR WHICH 
HAS BEEN TRACKING SOME SHOWERS 
UP INTO BUTLER COUNTY, SOME 
LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN POCKETS 
THERE, AND SOME LIGHT SHOWERS 
PASSING THROUGH PORTIONS OF 
GREENE AND FAYETTE COUNTIES AS 
WELL. 
THOSE SHOWERS GENERALLY MOVING 
OFF TO THE EAST HERE THIS 
AFTERNOON. 
IT'S A BREEZY DAY AS WELL. 
THE WINDS UP AROUND 10 TO 15 
MILES PER HOUR, OCCASIONAL 
GUSTS TO 20 MILES PER HOUR ARE 
EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. 
OUR DEWPOINT IS CURRENTLY AT 71 
DEGREES. 
AND YOU CAN SEE ON OUR DEWPOINT 
SCALE, THAT IS THE TROPICAL 
FEEL TO THE AIR WHICH WILL 
CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF 
THE DAY. 
COMING UP IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR 
I'VE GOT A LOOK AT YOUR 
HUMIDITY FORECAST AND WHEN 
WE'LL FINALLY GET A LITTLE BIT 
OF RELIEF. 
IN THE MEANTIME, WE ARE 
TRACKING THAT THREAT FOR SOME 
SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS 
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS 
EVENING, AND THE STRONGEST WILL 
BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING THOSE 
BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS, AS WELL 
AS SOME GUSTY WINDS AND ALSO 
LIGHTNING BEING A THREAT IN ANY 
THUNDERSTORM. 
SO STAY WEATHER AWARE. 
IF YOU HAVE ANY OUTDOOR PLANS 
TODAY, AND KEEP YOUR UMBRELLA 
NEARBY. 
HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR LATEST 
STORM TRACKER MAPS. 
THIS AFTERNOON YOU CAN SEE A 
LITTLE BIT OF GREEN HERE AND 
THERE IN THE 1:30 HOUR, SO SOME 
PERIODIC SHOWERS WILL BE MOVING 
THROUGH. 
THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL 
INCREASE AS WE HEAD INTO THE 
LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY 
EVENING HOURS AS A COLD FRONT 
MOVES IN FROM THE NORTH. 
THAT COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO 
STALL DOWN TO THE SOUTH AS WE 
HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. 
SO THE FOCAL POINT FOR ANY 
SHOWERS TONIGHT, AND TONIGHT, I 
MEAN, ABOUT 10:00 TO 11:00 P.M. 
OR SO, THOSE ARE GOING TO BE 
SOUTH OF THE PITTSBURGH AREA. 
THE REST OF THE REGION SHOULD 
BE FAIRLY QUIET OVERNIGHT 
TONIGHT, ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE 
CLOUDY, AND I'LL BE TRACKING A 
CHANCE FOR SOME AREAS OF FOG 
INTO YOUR THURSDAY MORNING 
WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT 
THERE WITH ALL THE CLOUD COVER 
THURSDAY MORNING, SO YOUR 
VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED IN 
SPOTS AS YOU HEAD OUT THE DOOR. 
AS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON'S 
FORECAST, WE WILL BE HAVING 
SOME SHOWERS AND SOME 
THUNDERSTORMS COMING BACK 
THROUGH THE AREA ON THURSDAY. 
THIS IS AS A WEATHER 
DISTURBANCE MOVES ACROSS THE 
AREA ON THURSDAY. 
SOME OF THOSE STORMS COULD BE 
STRONG TO SEVERE, SOMETHING 
SEVERE WEATHER TEAM 11 WILL 
KEEP YOU UPDATED ON AS WE GET A 
LITTLE CLOSER TO THE DAY. 
AS FOR TONIGHT, IT'S GOING TO 
BE A MILD NIGHT. 
IT'S GOING TO REMAIN HUMID. 
THE LOWS ARE GOING TO BE 
FALLING DOWN INTO THE MID-60s. 
AGAIN, WE COULD HAVE SOME AREAS 
OF FOG AS WE PICK UP SOME CALM 
WINDS. 
THIS IS A LOOK AT OUR FOG 
TRACKER MAP. 
YOU CAN SEE HOW WE HAVE SOME OF 
THAT GRAY SHADED COLOR HERE. 
THE MORE DENSE FOG SHOWS UP IN 
WHITE. 
SO THERE COULD BE SOME LOCALLY 
DENSE FOG AS TEMPERATURES COOL 
CLOSER TO THE DEWPOINT 
TEMPERATURES EARLY IN THE 
MORNING. 
AS FAR AS HIGH TEMPERATURES, 
HIGH 70s TO 80 DEGREES WITH 
UNSETTLED WEATHER FROM TIME TO 
TIME. 
A CHECK OF THE FIVE-DAY 
FORECAST WITH YOUR WEEKEND 
ALWAYS IN VIEW, WE USHER IN 
SOME COOLER AIR FOR FRIDAY, 
PARTLY CLOUDY, 77. 
COOLER AIR AS WELL AS WE HEAD 
INTO SATURDAY MORNING WITH LOWS 
DOWN IN THE LOW 50s, AND THE 
WEEKEND IS LOOKING FANTASTIC. 
MAKE THOSE OUTDOOR PLANS IF YOU 
HAVEN'T ALREADY. 
WE'RE LOOKING AT HIGHS ON 
SATURDAY IN THE MID-70s AND 
WARMER ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS IN 
THE LOWER 80s.

TUESDAY MORNING AFTER OUR 11 
INVESTIGATES REPORT MONDAY 
NIGHT, MURRAYSVILLE REHAB HELD 
AN ALL-HANDS-ON-DECK MEETING 
WITH A CONSULTANT TO ADDRESS 
THEIR CONCERNS. 
>> WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PERSON 
IS GOING TO BE IN THE BUILDING 
FOR A WHILE NOW, AND HE'S GOING 
TO GET THIS PROBLEM 
STRAIGHTENED OUT AS FAST AS HE 
CAN. 
>> I'M GLAD THAT WE DID IT TO 
GET OUR RESIDENTS THE HELP THAT 
THEY NEED, THE CARE THAT THEY 
NEED. 
>>Reporter: A TOTAL OF EIGHT 
EMPLOYEES TOOK THE RARE STEP TO 
SPEAK OUT FOR OUR REPORT TO 
EXPOSE WHAT THEY CALLED 
INHUMANE CARE FOR RESIDENTS. 
>> THEY'RE NOT BEING BATHED, 
THEY'RE NOT BEING SHOWERED. 
THE MEN AREN'T BEING SHAVED. 
>> PEOPLE FALLING OUT OF BED, 
PEOPLE FALLING TO WHERE THEY 
FELL OUT OF THEIR WHEELCHAIRS. 
>>Reporter: WHAT IF THEY NEED 
CHANGED? 
>> THEY MIGHT GET IT ONE TIME. 
>>Reporter: A DAY? 
>> A DAY. 
>>Reporter: THE WORKERS SAY 
THEY FELT COMPELLED TO BE THE 
VOICES OF THE RESIDENTS BECAUSE 
FAMILY MEMBERS CAN'T VISIT DUE 
TO THE COVID CRISIS. 
AND NOW TO THEIR SURPRISE, THEY 
ARE GETTING OVERWHELMING 
SUPPORT, ESPECIALLY FROM 
RESIDENTS. 
>> EVERY TIME THEY'D SEE US IN 
THE HALL, THEY WERE THANKING 
US, HUGGING US, FAMILY MEMBERS 
WERE CALLING. 
THEY WERE, LIKE, THANK YOU FOR 
STANDING UP AND STICKING UP FOR 
THEM AND SPEAKING FOR THEM. 
>>Reporter: DO YOU THINK 
SPEAKING OUT MADE A DIFFERENCE? 
>> YES, I DO. 
I THINK IT HELPED US A LOT. 
>>Reporter: ANGIE MORESCHI, 
CHANNEL 11 NEWS. 
>> AND WORKERS WE SPOKE WITH 
SAY THE PARENT COMPANY, 
COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE, IS 
PROMISING TO HIRE MORE NURSING 
ASSISTANTS AND TO GET THEM THE 
SUPPLIES THEY NEED. 
>>>  CHANNEL 11 REACHED OUT TO 
THE ADMINISTRATOR AT 
MURRAYSVILLE REHAB, AND WE'LL 
LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS WE HEAR 
BACK. 
>>> WELL, WE'RE TRACKING 
POSSIBLE STORMS FOR YOUR 
AFTERNOON. 
METEOROLOGIST DANIELLE DOZIER 
JOIN US LIVE WITH WHAT SHE'S 
EXPECTING. 
DANIELLE. 
>> HEY, GUYS. 
YEAH. 
WE HAVE SOME RAIN ON THE RADAR. 
WE'VE HAD SOME LIGHT RAIN 
THAT'S BEEN PASSING THROUGH 
ALLEGHENY COUNTY, AND UP NORTH 
WE'VE GOT SOME POCKETS OF 
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN NORTH OF 
BUTLER IN NORTHERN BUTLER 
COUNTY. 
THOSE ARE TRACKING OFF TO THE 
EAST AT THIS TIME. 
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY LIGHTNING 
YET HERE THIS AFTERNOON, BUT 
THAT WILL BE A THREAT THIS 
AFTERNOON. 
YOU CAN SEE HERE IN OUR 
SOUTHERN COMMUNITIES, DOWN 
SOUTH WE ARE ALSO TRACKING SOME 
LIGHT RAIN AT THIS TIME. 
TEMPERATURES, THEY'RE RANGING 
FROM THE MID- TO UPPER 70s 
ACROSS OUR AREA. 
WE'VE GOT THAT HUMID FEEL TO 
THE AIR. 
SO IF YOU'RE OUT DOING SOME 
RUNNING, YOU'RE GOING TO, 
UNFORTUNATELY FORTUNATELY, HAVE 
TO DEAL WITH THAT HIGH HUMIDITY 
TODAY. 
THE TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB 
INTO THE UPPER 70s AND LOW 80s 
IN SPOTS THIS AFTERNOON. 
BUT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP 
ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER, AND WE'RE 
ALSO GOING TO KEEP THAT THREAT 
FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS. 
SO YOU'LL WANT TO STAY ALERT TO 
CHANGING WEATHER CONDITIONS. 
I'LL BE BACK IN JUST A FEW 
MINUTES WITH YOUR HUMIDITY 
FORECAST AS PROMISED AND YOUR 
STORM TRACKER MAPS TO TIME OUT 
THE SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR THE 
REST OF THE DAY. 
>>>  HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE 
CALLING FOR STRICT ADHERENCE TO 
MASK WEARING AND SOCIAL 
DISTANCING OVER THE LABOR DAY 
WEEKEND TO TRY TO PREVENT A 
RESURGENCE IN CORONAVIRUS 
CASES. 
THIS IS A GROUP WORKING ON THE 
VACCINE AND IS TAKING THE NEXT 
STEP TOWARDS SUCCESS. 
NBC'S MIGUEL HAS THE DETAILS. 
>>Reporter: TOP U.S. OFFICIALS 
SOUNDING THE ALARM, AMERICANS 
NEED TO BE CAREFUL THIS LABOR 
DAY WEEKEND OR RISK 
KICKSTARTING THE SURGE OF 
CORONAVIRUS CASES IN THE FALL.

WE NEED TO STRESS PERSONAL 
RESPONSIBILITY. 
>>Reporter: ON TUESDAY HHS

LIKE WE'RE DOING NOW. 
WE CAN'T RISK A LACK OF 
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. 
>>Reporter: HIS WARNING COMING 
AFTER DR. ANTHONY FAUCI 
REPORTEDLY TOLD A WHITE HOUSE 
MEETING OF GOVERNORS THAT THE 
HOLIDAY WILL DETERMINE IF THE 
U.S. IS ABLE TO GET A RUNNING 
START IN BATTLING THE DISEASE 
THIS FALL. 
CORONAVIRUS CASES AND 
HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE DOWN 
NATIONWIDE SINCE THEIR PEAK IN 
JULY. 
BUT OFFICIALS ARE HOPING TO 
PREVENT ANOTHER UPTICK, LIKE 
THE ONE SEEN AFTER MEMORIAL DAY 
WHEN SOCIAL DISTANCING 
GUIDELINES WERE IGNORED AT POOL 
PARTIES LIKE THIS ONE AT THE 
LAKE OF THE OZARKS. 
AND AFTER THE FOURTH OF JULY 
WHEN PEOPLE FLOCKED TO CROWDED 
BEACHES TO ESCAPE THE SUMMER 
HEAT, DANGEROUS NEW OUTBREAKS 
IN STATES LIKE IOWA ARE ALREADY 
RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT THE NEXT 
FEW MONTHS. 
THERE THE THREE COUNTIES WITH 
THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF 
CORONAVIRUS CASES HAVE LARGE 
COLLEGE POPULATIONS. 
SOME ARE NOW CALLING FOR 
ROUTINE RANDOM TESTING OF 
STUDENTS AND STAFF, INCLUDING 
NEW YORK PUBLIC SCHOOLS WHERE 
THE START DATE OF IN-CLASS 
LEARNING HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK. 
ALL OF THIS COMES AS 
RESEARCHERS FROM OXFORD 
UNIVERSITY AND DRUG MAKER 
ASTRAZENECA BECOME THE LATEST 
TEAM TO ENTER THE FINAL ROUND 
OF TESTING FOR A CORONAVIRUS 
VACCINE. 
JACOB SERANO IS THE FIRST 
AMERICAN TO BE DOSED WITH 
EITHER THE VACCINE CANDIDATE OR 
A PLACEBO. 
SEVEN MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY 
LOST THEIR LIVES TO THE VIRUS. 
DO YOU THINK THAT WHAT YOU'RE 
DOING NOW COULD PREVENT FUTURE 
FATALITIES? 
>> I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE 
DESERVES TO LOSE THEIR LIFE, 
ESPECIALLY THROUGH A VIRUS THAT 
WE COULD HAVE STOPPED. 
>>Reporter: THIS MORNING A 
GLIMMER OF HOPE AFTER SO MUCH 
HEARTBREAK AROUND THE WORLD. 
HEALTH OFFICIALS ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY SAY THE NEXT COUPLE OF 
DAYS, INCLUDING THAT BIG 
HOLIDAY WEEKEND WILL BE 
CRITICAL. 
>>>  A CENTER IN MONROEVILLE IS 
OFFERING COVID TESTING WITH 
RESULTS IN JUST 20 MINUTES. 
ACCORDING TO OUR "TRIB" 
PROSECUTORS, THE EYE CARE 
WELLNESS CENTER USE AS SWAB TO 
TEST PEOPLE. 
CENTER OFFICIALS SAY THAT TYPE 
OF TEST CAN BE LESS ACCURATE 
THAN OTHERS, BUT IT CAN BE 
EFFECTIVE IF SOMEONE JUST 
CONTRACTED THE VIRUS. 
>>>  PITTSBURGH POLICE RELEASED 
THEIR CRIME REPORT FOR JULY, 
AND IT HAS SOME MIXED RESULTS. 
FIRST, CRIME WAS UP 7% IN JULY 
COMPARED TO JUNE. 
BUT IT WAS DOWN NEARLY 17% 
COMPARED TO JULY OF LAST YEAR. 
AND WHEN YOU COMPARE JULY WITH 
THE SAME -- WITH THE FIVE-YEAR 
AVERAGE, CRIME FELL BY NEARLY 
25%. 
POLICE ALSO SAY MORE SERIOUS 
CRIMES AGAINST PEOPLE AND 
PROPERTY FELL 35% COMPARED TO 
LAST JULY. 
>>> A NEW LAWSUIT BLAMES LAX 
SECURITY FOR THE 2018 SHOOTING 
AT A DISTRICT JUDGE'S OFFICE IN 
FAYETTE COUNTY. 
JARED SARRENCY WAS ONE OF FOUR 
PEOPLE WHO WERE SHOT WHEN 
PATRICK DOWDLE ENTERED AN 
OFFICE WITH A LOADED HANDGUN. 
DOWDLE WAS EVENTUALLY SHOT AND 
KILLED BY POLICE. 
THE LAWSUIT CLAIMS THE BOROUGH 
OF MASONTOWN PROVIDED, QUOTE, 
NONEXISTENT, IMPROPER OR 
LACKING SECURITY IN THE 
BUILDING WHICH INCREASED THE 
LIKELIHOOD THAT A VIOLENT 
INCIDENT COULD HAPPEN. 
HE ALSO SAYS THAT HE HAS POST-
TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER NOW 
AS A RESULT OF THAT SHOOTING. 
>>>  IT WAS A CASE THAT STUNNED 
OUR REGION. 
2-YEAR-OLD NALANI JOHNSON 
ABDUCTED, HER BODY FOUND DAYS 
LATER. 
THIS WEEK MARKS ONE YEAR SINCE 
THE TRAGEDY. 
>> IT'S BEEN A YEAR ALREADY. 
TIME GOES BY SO FAST. 
IT JUST FEELS LIKE I'M MISSING 
SOMETHING. 
>> SINCE HER DEATH, THE GIRL'S 
FAMILY HAS BEEN FIGHTING TO 
CHANGE THE STATE'S AMBER ALERT 
SYSTEM. 
THEY WANT TO SPEED UP THE 
PROCESS OF GETTING AN ALERT OUT 
TO THE PUBLIC. 
MALANI'S FAMILY HAS TURNED TO 
HELPING OTHERS, ORGANIZING A 
VIRTUAL WALK. 
>> WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING TO 
GIVE BACK TO AN AGENCY THAT 
HELPS FIND LOST CHILDREN. 
WE'RE A FAMILY THAT -- OF 
SERVICE, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO 
GIVE BACK. 
>> THE VIRTUAL WALK RUNS 
THROUGH SEPTEMBER 15th AND ALL 
PROCEEDS RAISED WILL GO TO THE 
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR LOST 
CHILDREN. 
SHAREN AND NANCY IS CHARGED 
WITH SUFFOCATING THE GIRL. 
SHE REMAINS BEHIND BARS. 
>>>  PARENTS DO NEED TO BE 
AWARE OF SOME IMPORTANT 
SYMPTOMS 
>> AFTER THE BREAK THE EXTRA 
STRAIN LEARNING FROM HOME COULD 
BE PUTTING 
>>> THE PLANNING PROCESS FOR 
THE RIVERFRONT AT HAZELWOOD 
GREEN IS UNDER WAY. 
THE AREA IS ONE OF PITTSBURGH'S 
MAJOR STRETCHES OF UNDEVELOPED 
RIVERFRONT PROPERTY. 
THE REDEVELOPMENT IS BEING 
HEADED BY THE PENNSYLVANIA 
ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL. 
PUBLIC INPUT WILL BE GATHERED 
AND FINAL PLANS COULD BE 
SUBMITTED NEXT SUMMER. 
>>>  WITH MOST STUDENTS 
STARTING SCHOOL VIRTUALLY, 
EXTRA SCREEN TIME WILL BE 
UNAVOIDABLE. 
AND THAT CAN CAUSE MORE EYE 
ISSUES IN KIDS. 
DOCTORS SAY THE IMMEDIATE 
SYMPTOMS ARE EASY TO SPOT AND 
MOSTLY SHORT TERM. 
>> EYE STRAIN, DIGITAL EYE 
STRAIN, IF YOU WILL, THAT LEADS 
TO DISCOMFORT OF YOUR EYES, 
TIREDNESS FEELING, DRYNESS OF 
THE EYES. 
>> THERE ARE STEPS PARENTS CAN 
TAKE TO REDUCE THE RISK TO 
STUDENTS' VISION. 
DOCTORS SAY USE THE 20/20/20 
RULE. 
AFTER 20 MINUTES OF SCREEN 
TIME, YOU SHOULD LOOK AT 
SOMETHING AT LEAST 20 FEET AWAY 
FOR 20 SECONDS. 
>> INTERESTING. 
>>>  WELL, WORKING FROM HOME 
HAS BEEN ROUGH ON MILLIONS OF 
AMERICANS, BUT IT SURE HAS BEEN 
EASY ON THEIR WALLETS. 
HOW MUCH WE'VE BEEN SAVING BY 
STAYING HOME. 
>>>  I'M TRACKING THAT CHANCE 
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS 
THIS AFTERNOON. 
AND SPEAKING OF RAIN, I'VE GOT 
AN UPDATE TO WHERE WE FINISH ON 
OUR SUMMER RAINFALL AND OUR 
TEMPERATURES FOR THE SUMMER 
SEASON. 
>>> LESS TIME ON THE ROAD MEANS 
MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET, AND 
THANKS TO THE PANDEMIC, IT'S 
ADDING UP. 
THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY 
ADMINISTRATION SAYS AMERICANS 
TRAVELED NEARLY 37 BILLION 
MILES FEWER IN JUNE COMPARED TO 
LAST YEAR. 
AND THAT ADDS UP TO A SAVINGS 
OF ABOUT $758 MILLION A DAY AND 
$90 BILLION SINCE THE PANDEMIC 
BEGAN. 
>>>  AND, GORDON, WHILE MANY OF 
US ARE SAVING MONEY BY STAYING 
HOME, OTHER BILLS, 
UNFORTUNATELY, ARE RISING. 
>> MANY PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE 
SEEING HIGHER UTILITY BILLS. 
OUR CONSUMER ADVISER CLARK 
HOWARD HAS SOME ADVICE FOR 
GETTING THOSE BILLS DOWN. 
>>Reporter: MANY OF US ARE 
SPENDING MORE TIME AT HOME, 
EITHER BECAUSE OUR JOB ALLOWS 
IT AND WE'RE WORKING FROM THERE 
INSTEAD OF A TRADITIONAL PLACE 
OR KIDS THAT ARE NORMALLY AT 
SCHOOL OR DAY CARE OR WHATEVER 
HAVE BEEN HOME, SO OUR UTILITY 
BILLS HAVE BEEN CLIMBING A LOT. 
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT? 
WELL, ONE THING YOU CAN DO IS 
THINK ABOUT YOUR HOME AS A 
SERIES OF ZONES. 
IN AREAS THAT YOU DON'T SPEND A 
LOT OF TIME IN, CLOSE THE VENTS 
IN THERE SO YOU AREN'T COOLING 
OR HEATING IN THE WINTER A 
SPACE THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO BE 
IN AND DON'T NEED TO KEEP 
PRECOOLED OR PREHEATED. 
AND YOUR WATER HEATER IN YOUR 
HOUSE, LOOK AT DIALING BACK THE 
TEMPERATURE OF THE HOT WATER. 
THAT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY. 
DO SIMPLE PROJECTS LIKE CAULK 
AND WEATHER STRIP. 
NONE OF THESE THINGS COST A LOT 
OF MONEY, AND THEY CERTAINLY 
SAVE YOU A LOT. 
IF YOU WANT TO GO FURTHER, ONE 
OF THE WAYS YOU CAN 
DRAMATICALLY REDUCE YOUR ENERGY 
BILLS IS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 
PROPER INSULATION IN YOUR 
ATTIC. 
ALMOST NONE OF US DO. 
AND YOU'LL GET A PAY BACK IN 
MONTHS, NOT YEARS. 
I'M CLARK HOWARD. 
>>> THE NIGHT SKY IS CHANGING. 
A NEW REPORT FROM THE NATIONAL 
SCIENCE FOUNDATION SAYS THAT 
BRIGHT SATELLITES ARE CHANGING 
OUR VIEW OF THE SKY FROM EARTH, 
AND IT'S GOING TO CHANGE EVEN 
MORE. 
THERE ARE ABOUT 107,000 LOW-
EARTH ORBIT SATELLITES 
SCHEDULED TO BE LAUNCHED IN THE 
NEXT DECADE. 
THE METAL REFLECTS THE SUNLIGHT 
AND CAN APPEAR AS BRIGHT AS 
SOME CONSTELLATIONS. 
>>>  ONCE AGAIN GOOD AFTERNOON. 
TAKING A LOOK AT OUR SUMMER 
RAINFALL, AND AS METEOROLOGISTS 
FOR CLIMATE RECORDKEEPING 
PURPOSES WE LOOK AT THE MONTHS 
OF JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST AS THE 
SUMMER. 
HERE'S A LOOK. 
WE'VE PICKED UP ALMOST 11 
INCHES OF RAIN. 
DESPITE HOW OUR AUGUST STARTED, 
WE'VE AVERAGED ABOVE RAINFALL 
FOR AUGUST BY ALMOST TWO 
INCHES. 
SO WE'VE MADE UP A LOT OF OUR 
DEFICIT. 
AND WE FINISHED THE SUMMER BY A 
LITTLE MORE THAN A HALF AN INCH 
BELOW AVERAGE. 
NOT BAD, RIGHT? 
AND YOU TAKE A LOOK HERE AT OUR 
AVERAGE TEMPERATURE. 
SO WE FACTOR IN THE LOWS AND 
THE HIGHS FOR EACH OF THE THREE 
MONTHS, AND WE HAD 73.5 
DEGREES. 
SO IT WAS AN ABOVE-AVERAGE 
PERIOD FOR US BY MORE THAN 2 
1/2 DEGREES. 
NOW, OF COURSE, WE ARE IN THE 
MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, AND DAY 
TWO, WE'VE GOT THE STICKY FEEL 
TO THE AIR. 
IN FACT, IT FEELS REALLY 
TROPICAL. 
YOU CAN ACTUALLY KIND OF SEE IT 
ON OUR TOWER CAM THIS 
AFTERNOON. 
IT IS CLOUDY AS WELL. 
HERE IS A LOOK AT OUR VISIBLE 
SATELLITE. 
YOU CAN SEE THOSE CLOUDS THAT 
ARE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. 
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT CLOUDY 
HERE THROUGH THE REST OF THE 
DAY TODAY. 
DEWPOINTS, YEAH, THEY'RE IN THE 
LOWER 70s. 
SO IT IS A VERY TROPICAL FEEL, 
NOT ONLY IN PITTSBURGH, BUT ALL 
ACROSS OUR AREA, AND THAT HIGH 
HUMIDITY DOES CONTINUE FOR THE 
REST OF THE DAY TODAY. 
LOOKING AT OUR STORM TRACKER 
MAPS, I AM EXPECTING THE CLOUD 
COVER, BUT I'M ALSO EXPECTING 
THAT CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS 
AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO 
CONTINUE THROUGH THE LATE 
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING 
HOURS AS A COLD FRONT MAKES ITS 
WAY IN FROM THE NORTH. 
SO STAY ALERT TO CHANGING 
WEATHER CONDITIONS. 
WE COULD HAVE SOME THAT PRODUCE 
SOME GUSTY WINDS AND SOME BRIEF 
HEAVY DOWNPOURS, AND THEN, OF 
COURSE, LIGHTNING IS A THREAT 
IN ANY THUNDERSTORM. 
BY LATE TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO 
WATCH THAT FRONT CONTINUE TO 
PUSH TO THE SOUTH WHICH IS 
GOING TO KEEP THE FOCAL POINT 
OF ANY SHOWERS DOWN WELL TO THE 
SOUTH OF THE CITY. 
AND WE ARE LOOKING AT A CLOUDY 
SKY WITH SOME AREAS OF FOG 
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND INTO YOUR 
THURSDAY MORNING. 
VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED 
BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT. 
YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO CHECK 
BACK WITH CHANNEL 11 MORNING 
NEWS FOR THE LATEST ON THAT. 
AS FAR AS THE AFTERNOON 
FORECAST ON THURSDAY, I AM 
EXPECTING MORE SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE THROUGH. 
LATEST DATA SHOWS THAT SOME OF 
THOSE COULD BE STRONG, MAYBE AN 
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM 
WITH A BRIEF TORNADO THREAT 
MAINLY SOUTH AND EAST OF THE 
CITY OF PITTSBURGH. 
THAT'S SOMETHING WE ARE GOING 
TO BE WATCHING VERY CAREFULLY 
THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON ON 
THURSDAY. 
AS FOR TONIGHT MID-60s, CLOUDY 
WITH AREAS OF FOG AND CALM 
WINDS. 
IT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER HUMID 
DAY ON THURSDAY WITH A HIGH 
TEMPERATURE CLOSE TO 80 
DEGREES. 
WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT CHANCE 
FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS AND A 
BIT OF A BREEZE FROM TIME TO 
TIME, MUCH LIKE WHAT WE'RE 
SEEING OUT THERE TODAY, BY THE 
WAY, WITH GUSTS OCCASIONALLY UP 
TO ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR. 
WHEN WE GET THROUGH THURSDAY, 
WE HAVE A BIG DIP IN THE JET 
STREAM COMING FRIDAY AND 
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. 
THAT'S GOING TO USHER IN SOME 
COOL CANADIAN AIR, AND THAT 
MEANS TEMPERATURES FOR HIGHS 
ARE GOING TO BE GOING DOWN. 
THE HUMIDITY WILL BE GOING DOWN 
AS WELL. 
THIS IS YOUR FORECAST HUMIDITY. 
LOOK AT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 
VERY PLEASANT FEEL TO THE AIR, 
AND YOU'LL ENJOY THAT IF YOU 
HAVE ANY OUTDOOR PLANS THIS 
WEEKEND. 
77, PARTLY CLOUDY ON FRIDAY. 
LOWS DOWN TO 53, BY THE WAY, ON 
SATURDAY MORNING. 
SATURDAY AFTERNOON MID-70s, 
PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. 
SUNDAY LOOKS GOOD AS WELL, 
PLENTY OF SUN WITH HIGH 
TEMPERATURES BACK IN THE 80s.
