BUT THAT DECISION COULD BE 
DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS IN 
SCHOOLS. 
CHANNEL 11'S MIKE HOLDEN 
EXPLAINS HOW THE TWO THINGS ARE 
CONNECTED. 
>> Reporter: GOVERNOR TOM WOLF 
SAYS THE RETURN TO SCHOOL WILL 
POTENTIALLY LAY THE GROUNDWORK 
FOR INCREASING OCCUPANCY AT 
BARS AND RESTAURANTS JUST LIKE 
THIS BUT AFTER TALKING WITH THE 
OWNERS THEY SAY IT'S NOT 
SITTING WELL AND THEY'RE KIND 
OF SCRATCHING THEIR HEAD. 
DURING THE PRESS BRIEFING, 
GOVERNOR WOLF SAID THE NEXT 
COUPLE OF WEEKS WOULD BE 
CRUCIAL IN DETERMINING IF MORE 
PEOPLE CAN DINE IN THAT 
RESTAURANTS AND CAPACITY CAN BE 
INCREASED BEYOND 25%. 
HE SAYS HIS CURRENT PRIORITY IS 
GETTING STUDENTS BACK TO 
SCHOOL. 
HE TALKED ABOUT THE METRICS OF 
COVID-19 IN SCHOOLS AND 
MONITORING THOSE NUMBERS FIRST. 
HOWEVER, BAR AND RESTAURANT 
OWNERS SAY THEY'RE REALLY 
FEELING THE PINCH AND THEY SAY 
THEY'RE AT THE MERCY OF THE 
GOVERNOR. 
CALLIE O'CONNOR SAYS THE TWO 
THINGS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH 
ONE ANOTHER. 
THEY'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE 
PROPERPROTOCOLS AND STILL LOST 
A LOT OF BUSINESS. 
HIS APPROACH DOES NOTHING MORE 
THAN HURT THE SMALL BUSINESS 
OWNERS ACROSS THE REGION. 
>> HOW DO WE WEIGH THAT? 
WE HAVE FOLLOWED PROTOCOL. 
WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN 
FOR CLEANLINESS AND SOCIAL 
DISTANCING AND YOU KNOW, MAKING 
SURE THAT OUR CUSTOMERS THERE 
COMPLETELY SAFE.

I'M LOOKING AT, THE CASE COUNT 
PER 100,000 AND THE POSITIVITY

I'LL DO THAT COMING UP IN THE 
NEXT HALF HOUR. 
SO STAY WITH US. 
OUT THERE TODAY THOUGH, NOT THE 
GREATEST SUNRISE. 
WE DID START WITH QUITE A BIT 
OF CLOUD COVER AND YOU ARE 
LOOKING AT THE LOOP OVER THE 
LAST COUPLE OF HOURS OF THE 
VISIBLE SATELLITE. 
WE EVEN HAD A COUPLE OF STRAY 
SHOWERS OUT THERE DURING THE 
OVERNIGHT AND EARLY THIS 
MORNING. 
THE THEME OF THE CLOUDS WILL 
CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE 
OF HOURS AND IN FACT, WE'RE 
GOING TO KEEP IT CLOUDY TONIGHT 
AND THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY ON 
WEDNESDAY. 
TAKE LOOK AT THE FORECAST. 
IF YOU ARE OUT WALKING YOUR DOG 
HERE FOR THE REST OF TODAY 
WE'RE EXPECTING A MOSTLY CLOUDY 
SKY AND IT WILL BE A WARMER DAY 
ON THIS FIRST DAY OF 
METEOROLOGICAL FALL BY THE WAY. 
WE ARE LOOKING AT HIGHS IN THE 
LOWER 80s AND ABOUT 83 DEGREES 
AND WE'LL HAVE A CHANCE FOR A 
STRAY SHOWER BUT I THINK THE 
BETTER SHOT WILL BE COMING IN 
BY EVENING OR EVEN LATER ON 
TONIGHT.

RAIN IMPACTS AND AS WE HEAD 
INTO THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, 
JUST A SPOTTY SHOWER CHANCE.

SLIGHTLY BETTER SHOT AT SEEING

WASHT AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE

MINUTE.

FALLING INTO THE UPPER 60s WITH 
LIGHT WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTH

PERIODIC SHOWERS AND MAYBE EVEN 
A RUMBLE OF THUNDER. 
OVERNIGHT LOWS ACROSS THE REST 
OF THE AREA UPPER 60s AND LOW 
70S. 
WITH ABOUT 70 DEGREES IN 
BEAVER. 
AND THIS IS REALLY A PRODUCT OF 
THAT HIGH HUMIDITY WHEN OUR DEW 
POINTS GO UP INTO THE UPPER 
60s, THE TEMPERATURES, THEY 
CAN'T FALL BELOW THE DEW POINT 
TEMPERATURE. 
SO WHEN YOU GET THAT HIGHER 
HUMIDITY, AND THOSE DEW POINTS 
COMING UP, AT NIGHT AND YOU 
HAVE CLOUDS AT NIGHT, THEY 
BASICALLY ACT AS A BLANKET. 
SO IT KEEPS THE OVERNIGHT LOWS 
UP AND WE'RE LOOKING AT MILD 
START FOR A LOT OF US ON 
WEDNESDAY MORNING. 
AFTERNOON FORECAST TOMORROW. 
TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSE TO 
THE 80-DEGREE MARK IN THE 
AFTERNOON.

ROUNDS. 
STORM TRACKER MAPS RIGHT NOW. 
THIS AFTERNOON VERY SPOTTY IF 
ANYTHING. 
INCREASING CHANCES OF WET 
WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA IN THE 
EVENING. 
AND THEN ESPECIALLY LATE 
TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING, 
WHEN YOU ARE HEADING OUT THE 
DOOR, YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO 
CHECK BACK WITH CHANNEL 11 
MORNING NEWS BECAUSE WE 
ACTUALLY COULD BE TRACKING SOME 
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA. 
SOME OF WHICH COULD PUT DOWN 
PRETTY STRONG WIND GUSTS AS 
WELL AS SOME HEAVY RAINFALL. 
AND LIGHTNING OF COURSE IS A 
THREAT IN ANY THUNDERSTORM. 
WEDNESDAY IS NOT A WASHOUT. 
BUT YOU ARE GOING TO WANT YOUR 
UMBRELLA. 
BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE THOSE 
SHOWERS AND STORMS FROM TIME TO 
TIME MOVING THROUGH OUR AREA.

WEEKEND ALWAYS IN VIEW.

UNTIL THURSDAY.

WALKING LATER ON DO EXPECT THE 
WARMTH AND THAT HUMID FEEL TO 
THE AIR. 
I AM TRACKING AS WELL A SLIGHT 
CHANCE FOR A SPOTTY SHOWER. 
I THINK THE BETTER SHOT WILL 
COME IN EITHER BY EVENING OR 
TONIGHT. 
AS OUR DATA SHOWS A COUPLE OF 
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES 
ROLLING ON THROUGH THE AREA. 
HUMIDITY-WISE. 
YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK HERE AT THE

COULD SET UP THE NEXT COUPLE OF 
MORNINGS. 
>>> THE RIVER'S CASINO IS 
EXTENDING ITS HOURS. 
THEY WILL START JUST IN TIME 
FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND. 
WE'RE TOLD THE RIFERS WILL BE 
OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY AND GOT 
DONE TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS. 
THOSE DAYS THE CASINO WILL BE 
CLOSED FROM 4:00 A.M. 
TO 9:00 A.M.. 
THE HOURS START ON SUNDAY. 
>>> TALKS STALLED BETWEEN 
JCPENNEY AND THREE POTENTIAL 
BIDDERS AND THAT MEANS STORES 
THAT GOT A REPRIEVE FROM 
CLOSURES THAT WERE ANNOUNCED IN 
THE INITIAL BANKRUPTCY FILING 
COULD CLOSE AFTER ALL. 
ACCORDING TO AN ATTORNEY FOR 
JCPENNEY, SEVERAL LOCATIONS 
THAT WERE ON THE ORIGINAL 
CLOSING LIST, BUT WERE REMOVED 
BECAUSE OF NEGOTIATIONS, WILL 
NOW BE CLOSED PROMPTLY. 
THE TRANSACTION SHOULD BE 
COMPLETED WITHIN 30 DAYS. 
THE STORE AT THE CENTURY THREE 
MALL BEGAN ITS LIQUIDATION SALE 
EXCUSE ME, LAST MONTH. 
THE DEPARTMENT STORE WAS ONLY 
STORE STILL OPEN AT THE MALL IN 
WEST MIFFLIN. 
THAT STORE PLANS TO CLOSE FOR 
GOOD AT THE END OF OCTOBER. 
>>> CLOUDY THIS MORNING. 
BUT NOT THE CASE OVER THE LAST 
COUPLE OF MORNINGS. 
AND IN FACT, THIS IS A 
BEAUTIFUL PICTURE COMING IN 
FROM RYAN. 
FROM MONDAY'S SUNRISE. 
AND I JUST LOVE THE COLORS IN 
THE SKY, WE HAVE SOME PINKS AND 
SOME ORANGE SHADED COLORS IN 
THERE. 
AND IF YOU HAVE ANY PICTURES 
YOU EVER WANT TO SHARE WITH ME, 
YOU CAN ALWAYS TWEET ME OR 
FACEBOOK ME AND WE'LL TRY TO 
GET THOSE ON THE AIR FOR YOU. 
MOSTLY CLOUDY TODAY. 
AND IF YOU HAVE BEEN OUTSIDE, 
YOU KNOW THAT IT IS DEFINITELY 
A LOT MORE HUMID FEELING. 
AND THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE 
THE CASE FOR THE REST OF THE 
AFTERNOON. 
WE'RE LOOKING AT HIGH 
TEMPERATURES WARMER AS WELL IN 
THE LOWER 80s WITH WINDS 5 TO 
20 MILES PER HOUR OUT OF THE 
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST. 
AS FOR TOMORROW MORNING THE 
TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE 
MILD. 
IF NOT WARM WHEN YOU HEAD OUT 
THE DOOR. 
AND IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL OF 
THAT HUMIDITY IN THE AIR. 
SO IT'S GOING TO KEEP THE 
OVERNIGHT LOWS UP AS WELL AS 
THE CLOUD COVER TONIGHT. 
WHICH WILL ACT AS A BLANKET ON 
THE TEMPERATURES. 
71 DEGREES WHEN YOU HEAD OUT 
THE DOOR EARLY AND WE MAY DIP 
IN THE UPPER 60s IN SPOTS AND 
OUR CLOUD COVER IS GOING TO BE 
STICKING AROUND AS WELL. 
WE'LL HAVE A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS 
AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE 
DAY ON WEDNESDAY. 
AND IN FACT, I DO EXPECT THAT 
TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST 
WEATHER STORIES FOR THE DAY. 
AS WELL AS THE CHANCE FOR A 
LITTLE BIT OF FOG IN THE 
MORNING. 
YOU ARE LOOKING AT OUR FOG 
TRACKER MAPS NOW. 
AND SOME OF THE LATEST COMPUTER 
MODELS HAVE BEEN SHOWING THE 
CHANCE FOR SOME PATCHY FOG INTO 
YOUR WEDNESDAY MORNING. 
AND AS WELL, POTENTIALLY INTO 
THURSDAY MORNING. 
SO YOUR VISIBILITY COULD BE 
LIMITED NOT ONLY FOR THE FOG, 
BUT ALSO FOR SOME SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS WHICH I DO EXPECT 
TO BE ACROSS THE AREA ON 
WEDNESDAY MORNING. 
I'LL SHOW YOU THAT IN JUST A 
MINUTE. 
TEMPERATURES TOMORROW. 
ABOUT 82 DEGREES WITH SCATTERED 
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. 
WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST 
EXPECTED TO BE RIGHT AROUND 5 
TO 15 MILES PER HOUR. 
AND YOU CAN SEE THE REST OF THE 
AREA HIGHS TOMORROW, RANGING 
FROM THE UPPER 70s TO LOW 80s 
IN BUTLER AND BUTLER COUNTY TO 
LOW 80s ACROSS THE REST OF THE 
AREA. 
WEATHER IMPACTS FOR THE DAY ON 
WEDNESDAY. 
ANY STORM THAT DOES DEVELOP AND 
MOVES ACROSS THE AREA WILL BE 
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING BRIEF 
HEAVY DOWNPOURS AS WELL AS 
GUSTY WINDS, LIGHTNING IS A 
THREAT IN ANY THUNDERSTORM. 
IT'S GOOD IDEA TO STAY WEATHER 
AWARE AND WE'RE NOT EXPECTING 
SEVERE WEATHER. 
BUT AGAIN, THOSE ELEMENTS COULD 
THREATEN OR DAMPEN THE OUTDOOR 
PLANS. 
STORM TRACKER, 3:30 IN THE 
AFTERNOON TODAY, VERY FEW AND 
FAR BETWEEN ON THE SHOWER 
CHANCE THERE. 
I AM EXPECTING A SLIGHTLY 
BETTER CHANCE LATER ON THIS 
EVENING. 
AND THEN TONIGHT WHERE WE COULD 
ACTUALLY HAVE THE ISOLATED 
THUNDERSTORM. 
WEDNESDAY MORNING THOUGH, YOU 
ARE GOING TO NOTICE MORE 
SHOWERS AND STORMS THAT ARE 
GOING TO BE MOVING ACROSS OUR 
AREA. 
SO IT'S GOING TO BE A RATHER 
WET MORNING COMMUTE FOR YOU IN 
SPOTS. 
AND AS WE HEAD INTO THE 
AFTERNOON, A SERIES OF FRONTS 
MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. 
AND A WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL 
KEEP IT UNSETTLED FROM TIME TO 
TIME THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY. 
IF WE CAN GET THROUGH THE 
MIDDLE TO END OF THE WEEK, 
THURSDAY-ISH, WE ARE LOOKING AT 
SOME BETTER WEATHER COMING IN 
BY FRIDAY. 
WE HAVE A BIG DIP IN THE JET 
STREAM WHICH MEANS SOME COOLER 
AIR WILL BE COMING IN FROM THE 
NORTH. 
AND CHECK OUT THE 5 DAY 
FORECAST. 
YOU REALLY CAN'T BEAT IT BEYOND 
THURSDAY. 
FRIDAY 77 AND LOWS WILL BE IN 
THE LOWER 50s INTO YOUR 
SATURDAY MORNING. 
SOME OUTLYING AREAS MAY 
DEALERSHIP INTO THE 40s 
SATURDAY, 75. 
AND MAKE THOSE OUTDOOR PLANS 
FOR THE WEEKEND. 
IT'S LABOR DAY WEEKEND AFTER 
ALL. 
WE'RE A BIT WARMER ON SUNDAY 
BUT PLENTY OF SUNSHINE IS 
EXPECTED. 
>>> ALL RIGHT, THANKS DANIELLE.
