AND WE ARE ALSO SEEING FOG ON OUR SKYCAM, SO IT’S A DOUBLE WHAMMY THIS MORNING. YOU’LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT REDUCED VISIBILITY AS WELL AS THE RAIN THAT’S SLOWLY MOVING OUT. AS FAR AS THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL SEVEN. I’LL SEE IF THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EXTENDS THAT, BECAUSE WE ARE STILL SEEING VISIBILITY DOWN TO A QUARTER MILE IN MANY SPOTS, INCLUDING FRANKLIN, ADAMS, YORK AND PARTS OF DAUPHIN COUNTY. HERE’S THE STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK. THE RAIN IS MOVING OUT. WE WILL STILL SEE SHOWERS AND DRIZZLE THROUGH THE MORNING RUSH, BUT THE STEADIER RAIN IS LIFTING OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. TEMPERATURE CHECK. WE’RE AT 46 IN LEBANON, 42 IN YORK, 42 FOR CARLISLE AND 39 RIGHT NOW IN LEWISTOWN. SO HIGHS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 40S. TODAY.

ALSO THIS MORNING IF YOU ARE DRIVING THROUGH ROUTE 22 BRIDGE OVER GLENWOOD DRIVE, THERE WILL BE SOME POTHOLE REPAIRS HAPPENING FROM 9 TO 11. ISRAEL IS CONTINUING TO HIT MILITARY TARGETS. ISRAEL FORCES ARE ALSO HITTING HEZBOLLAH TARGETS IN BEIRUT AND SENDING GROUND TROOPS INTO SOUTHERN LEBANON, WHICH OFFICIALS SAY IS TO PROTECT RESIDENTS IN NORTHERN ISRAEL. YESTERDAY, THE U.S. DID RELEASE THE NAMES OF THE TWO REMAINING SERVICE MEMBERS WHO WERE KILLED IN THAT DRONE ATTACK IN KUWAIT ON SUNDAY. THE PENTAGON SAYS 45 YEAR OLD MAJOR JEFFREY O’BRIEN OF IOWA, AND 54 YEAR OLD CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER ROBERT MARZANO OF CALIFORNIA WERE KILLED. GAS PRICES ARE CONTINUING TO RISE SINCE THE START OF THE WAR WITH IRAN, IN PART BECAUSE OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE OIL MARKET. AVERAGE PRICES IN PENNSYLVANIA JUMPED ANOTHER $0.06 OVERNIGHT.

RAPID TRANSIT HAS EXPANDED ITS VANPOOL PROGRAM TO HELP THOSE WHO WORK OVERNIGHT OR EARLY MORNING TO NEED A RIDE. THE UNIQUE THING ABOUT THE PROGRAM IS THAT YOU TAKE THE KEYS.

ISIS GOVERNMENT WEBSITE LISTS THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES IN LEBANON COUNTY THAT SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO WORK WITH ICE. YOU SEE THOSE ON YOUR SCREEN HERE AT TODAY’S MEETING.
