IT IS 656. TIME FOR WGAL NEWS EIGHT TO GO. THE NEWS EIGHT TODAY TEAM IS HERE TO HELP YOU START YOUR DAY. AND WE START WITH FORMER TV NEWS ANCHOR JANELLE STELSON ANNOUNCING THIS MORNING HER SECOND BID FOR PENNSYLVANIA’S 10TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH NEWS EIGHT. STELSON, WHO’S A DEMOCRAT, SAYS THAT SHE IS HOPING TO BUILD OFF MOMENTUM OF LAST YEAR’S RACE, WHERE SHE LOST TO REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN SCOTT PERRY BY ABOUT 5000 VOTES. CONGRESSMAN PERRY’S CAMPAIGN SAYS HE PLANS TO RUN FOR REELECTION. DEMOCRATIC DAUPHIN COUNTY COMMISSIONER JUSTIN DOUGLAS IS ALSO CONSIDERING A RUN FOR THE SEAT. I’M BAYLEE MARTIN TODAY, HARRISBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT IS UNVEILING TEN NEW ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUSSES TO REPLACE SOME OF THEIR DIESEL BUSSES. THEY HAVE FIVE CHARGING STATIONS AND BRAND NEW INFRASTRUCTURE, AND IT’S BEING UNVEILED TODAY. A LOOK OUTSIDE. YOU CAN SEE THAT WE DO HAVE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES HERE IN OUR LANCASTER SKYCAM, BUT IT IS QUIET RIGHT NOW. BUT WE DO HAVE A FLOOD WATCH THAT GOES INTO EFFECT LATER TODAY AT 2:00 UNTIL MIDNIGHT, BECAUSE I AM ANTICIPATING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WE’LL ALSO BE KEEPING AN EYE ON THE THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING. YOU CAN SEE IT’S ELEVATED ACROSS THE AREA, ESPECIALLY IN OUR SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES WHERE WE ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN A MODERATE RISK. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S. AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEATHER PLANNER FOR THE FORECAST FOR TODAY. HIGHS TODAY AROUND 84. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AS WE GET FURTHER INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. SHOWERS AND DECREASING CLOUDS. TEMPERATURES DROP INTO THE LOW 70S AND THEN TOMORROW IS A DRIER DAY WITH PARTLY SUNNY SKIES. STRAY THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE, BUT MOST AREAS WILL STAY DRY. IT WILL BE ON THE WARM SIDE IN THE UPPER 80. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. HAPPY MONDAY. RIGHT NOW WE DO HAVE AN INCIDENT IN LANCASTER COUNTY. THIS IS QUARRYVILLE BOROUGH THERE THAT COULD SLOW YOU DOWN. THIS MORNING ON FOURTH STREET AT ROUTE TWO, 22 CHURCH STREET. IF YOU’RE TRAVELING OUTSIDE OF LANCASTER COUNTY, THERE IS AN INCIDENT ON ROUTE 340 IN CHESTER COUNTY ON ROUTE TEN. OCTORARA TRAIL AT ROUTE 340 KINGS HIGHWAY. SO WE’LL KEEP AN EYE ON THESE TWO. HAVE AN UPDATE AT 725, BUT FOR NOW, HAVE A GREAT MONDAY, EVERYONE! MECHANICSBURG. POLICE IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY SAY ONE PERSON WAS SHOT AND KILLED IN. THEY SAY THE SHOOTER WAS SITTING NEXT TO THE BODY WHEN THEY GOT THERE. POLICE SAY THEY FOUND THE BODY AT A HOME ON EAST MARBLE STREET AROUND 230 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. OFFICERS SAY THEY ARRESTED RICHARD KING JUNIOR, SAYING THAT HE WILL BE CHARGED WITH THAT DEADLY SHOOTING. NEW THIS MORNING, POLICE IN COLUMBIA, LANCASTER COUNTY SAY FALSE RUMORS ARE SPREADING ONLINE ABOUT A SHOOTING IN THE BOROUGH. POLICE SAY THE RUMOR ABOUT THE SHOOTING ON WALNUT STREET ON SATURDAY IS NOT TRUE. THEY SAY THERE WERE NO SHOTS FIRED AND NO ONE WAS HURT. THEY SAY EMS WAS THERE WITH POLICE HELPING SOMEONE WITH A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. THE STATE POLICE FIRE MARSHAL IS INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE OF A WAREHOUSE FIRE IN LANCASTER COUNTY THAT IMPACTED FOUR BUSINESSES. THAT FIRE STARTED AROUND THREE YESTERDAY MORNING AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTH MAPLE AVENUE AND SITE ROAD IN UPPER LEACOCK TOWNSHIP. BIG FLAMES THERE. YOU CAN SEE IN THIS VIDEO EMERGENCY CREWS SAY ONE EMPLOYEE WAS INSIDE AT THE TIME, BUT MADE IT OUT SAFELY AS THE PRECAUTIONS. SOME OF THE HOMES NEARBY WERE TEMPORARILY EVACUATED. THE UPPER LAKE CLARKE FIRE CHIEF SAYS WE MAY NEVER KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. ALL RIGHT, IT’S QUIET RIGHT NOW, BUT HEADING INTO THE AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD. FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A GREAT CONCERN LATER TODAY, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN. TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S. IT’S A DRIER, QUIETER DAY TOMORROW. STILL AN ISOLATED STORM THREAT, BUT MOST EVERYBODY ENJOYING SOME SUNSHINE. TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90. AND THEN WE’VE GOT AGAIN, RINSE AND REPEAT. TYPE PATTERN SHOWERS AND STORMS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AGAIN ON THURSDAY. A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE ON FRIDAY AS A COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH. THAT WILL BRING SOME DRY WEATHER FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BACK INTO THE LOW 80S, WHICH WILL FEEL REALLY NICE FOR SATURDAY, BUT THEN RAIN CHANCES ARE BACK ON SUNDAY. TAKE SOME PRECAUTIONS TODAY IF YOU CAN. MAYBE CLEAN OUT THOSE STORM DRAINS, AT LEAST
