ISS to fly over Susquehanna Valley Tuesday night

TIME FOR WGAL NEWS 8 TO GO AND WE WANT TO GET RIGHT TO THAT BREAKING NEWS THAT WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING ALL MORNING LONG. LET’S TAKE YOU TO LEBANON COUNTY. LIVE ON THE SCENE HERE AT WEBER LUMBER. THIS FIRE HAS BEEN BURNING THERE ON MOUNT WILSON ROAD SINCE ABOUT 10:00 LAST NIGHT. THAT’S WHEN CREWS FIRST GOT CALLED TO THAT SCENE. AND NOW CREWS FROM MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS ARE ON SCENE, STILL TRYING TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES. AS YOU SEE IN THIS VIDEO, THE FIRE COMPANY SAYS THAT THERE USED ALREADY MORE THAN A MILLION GALLONS OF WATER FROM THE HYDRANT SYSTEM AND FROM TANKERS. WE CAN ALSO SHOW YOU THIS VIDEO FROM A NEWS EIGHT VIEWER. THE CHIEF SAYS HE DOES THINK THAT THAT BUILDING MIGHT HAVE THE MOST COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS UNDER ONE ROOF IN THE STATE. NOW, WE ALSO KNOW SO FAR THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF ANYONE BEING HURT. BUT AGAIN, THAT FIRE STILL BURNING AT THIS HOUR. GOOD MORNING, I’M GABRIEL THOMAS, LIVE HERE IN MIDDLESEX TOWNSHIP. AND IF YOU LIVE HERE IN MIDDLESEX TOWNSHIP, A NEW DATA CENTER COULD BE COMING TO THE AREA RIGHT WHERE I’M STANDING NOW. SOME RESIDENTS ARE IN SUPPORT OF THIS NEW PROPOSED PLAN, OTHERS NOT SO MUCH. BUT TONIGHT, DEVELOPERS ARE HOLDING AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING TO EDUCATE RESIDENTS MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND, I HAVE THAT INFORMATION ON MY FACEBOOK. SLOVENIA’S STATE SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION, ALSO KNOWN AS PASSHE, IS EXPANDING AN I TRAINING PROGRAM WITH GOOGLE. MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY IS ONE OF THE SCHOOLS TO OFFER THIS PROGRAM FOR ITS STUDENTS. PASSHE SAYS IT WILL TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO USE AI RESPONSIBLY, AND YOU CAN SEE THE FULL MOON STILL SETTING IN THE WEST THIS MORNING. IT’S PRETTY HIGH UP IN THE SKY, THOUGH. BUT LOOK AT OUR HARRISBURG SKYCAM. BEAUTIFUL START THIS MORNING. MAINLY CLEAR. WE HAVE HIGH PRESSURE STATIONED ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. BIG BLUE H ON YOUR TV SCREEN EQUALS A COPY AND PASTE FORECAST FROM YESTERDAY. SO WE START OUT IN THE 40S AND 50S THIS MORNING. IT’S CHILLY OUT THERE FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. WE SHOULD BE IN THE LOW 60S. AND YOU CAN THANK THE DRY AIR FOR THAT. THE AIR IS STILL INCREDIBLY DRY WITH DEW POINTS IN THE 40S, BUT WE’LL EVENTUALLY SEE DEW POINTS CLIMBING BACK UP CLOSE TO 60 EARLY NEXT WEEK. WEATHER PLANNER 76 DEGREES FOR YOUR HIGH TODAY. PLENTIFUL SUNSHINE, A GORGEOUS DAY TONIGHT, INCREASING CLOUDS, NOT QUITE AS COOL 56. YOU MIGHT EVEN SEE A FEW SHOWERS TOMORROW. I’LL THROW A FEW SHOWERS. MORE CLOUDS IN THE MIX 76. BUT THAT DOESN’T LAST LONG. WE’LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE MAINLY DRY TEN DAY COMING UP. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. RIGHT NOW IN HARRISBURG WE’RE FOLLOWING A CRASH THAT HAS A SHOULDER BLOCK ON I-83 SOUTHBOUND. THERE RIGHT AT EXIT 45 PAXTON STREET, ALSO IN MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP IN YORK COUNTY, THERE’S A CRASH ON ROUTE TWO, 38 CHURCH ROAD AT FORD ROAD. ALSO IN PENN TOWNSHIP. WE’RE FOLLOWING ANOTHER INCIDENT THERE, SLOWING DOWN TRAFFIC ON SUNNY STREET AT NANCY STREET. WE’LL KEEP MONITORING THESE AND HAVE ANOTHER UPDATE AT 725, BUT FOR NOW, HAVE A GREAT TUESDAY IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY, A RETIRED PASTOR PLED GUILTY TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN AN INVESTIGATION. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS STEVEN MELTON IS NOW WAITING TO BE SENTENCED. MELTON WORKED AS A PASTOR AT BIG SPRING PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN NEWVILLE. ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS, HE VISITED MASSAGE IN CARLISLE BETWEEN APRIL OF 2023 AND SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR. AT LEAST 68 TIMES, AND ADMITTED TO PAYING FOR SEX ACTS THERE. HAPPENING TODAY, THE CITY OF YORK IS REMOVING THE STUMPS FROM THE BRADFORD PEAR TREES THAT LINED THE DOWNTOWN AREA, AND IT COULD TIE UP TRAFFIC DOWNTOWN FOR WEEKS. CREWS ALREADY CUT DOWN THE TREES, WHICH WERE GETTING OLD AND POSING A RISK OF FALLING. 60 NEW TREES WILL BE PLANTED IN OCTOBER STARTING TODAY. ONE LANE WILL CLOSE ON MARKET STREET BETWEEN PERSHING AVENUE AND DUKE STREET. AS CREWS DO THEIR WORK, THE CITY SAYS IT COULD TAKE THREE WEEKS TO REMOVE ALL THE STUMPS. HERE’S YOUR TEN DAY FORECAST. WE HAVE 76 TODAY WITH A LOT OF SUNSHINE, MID 70S TOMORROW, BUT WE’LL ADD MORE CLOUDS IN A COUPLE OF SHOWERS AS WE GET INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. SUNSHINE RETURNS. WE TOUCH THE 80 MARK, STAY NEAR THAT 80 MARK THROUGH THE WEEKEND. LOOKS LIKE A DRY WEEKEND FOR US NEXT WEEK. I WAS HOPEFUL FOR A COUPLE OF SHOWERS, BUT THAT SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE IT’S NOT GOING TO REALLY MATERIALIZE. SO WE’LL KEEP YOU POSTED BECAUSE THIS IS A PRETT
