NOW. GOOD MONDAY AFTERNOON I’M JAY SCOTT SMITH AND THE BIG STORY AT HIGH NOON IS INDEED THE PORCH PIRATES. IT’S THE START OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON, AND THAT MEANS THERE ARE MORE CHANCES FOR THESE THIEVES TO STEAL YOUR JOY. NOW, POLICE DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY ARE STEPPING UP TO COMBAT THOSE PORCH PIRATES AND NEWS EIGHT’S ED WEINSTOCK JOINS US LIVE IN YORK WITH THE LATEST. GOOD AFTERNOON, EDDIE, AND GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU, JAY. WELL, YORK CITY POLICE DID THIS PROGRAM LAST YEAR. THEY GOT 10 TO 15 PACKAGES THAT WERE DELIVERED HERE TO YORK CITY POLICE HEADQUARTERS. AND NOW YORK POLICE ARE INTENT ON DOING IT AGAIN AS A WAY OF STOPPING PORCH THEFTS, WHICH HAVE BEEN ON THE INCREASE NATIONALLY. EFFECTIVE TODAY, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR PACKAGES EMAILED OR EXCUSE ME, I’M SORRY YOU CAN HAVE YOUR HOLIDAY PACKAGES MAILED TO THE POLICE STATION WHERE THEY WILL BE SAFE UNTIL YOU COME AND GET THEM. NOW YOU MUST BE A YORK CITY RESIDENT. NO PACKAGES CAN BE ABOVE 25 POUNDS. YOU WILL NEED A PHOTO ID TO CLAIM YOUR PACKAGE. NOW HERE IS THE MAILING ADDRESS FOR YORK CITY POLICE. 50 WEST KING STREET, YORK, PENNSYLVANIA. 17401. AND THE PROGRAM RUNS THROUGH CHRISTMAS EVE IN YORK. ED WEINSTOCK WGAL NEWS EIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND NOW MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HAVE ALREADY STARTED HITTING THE ROAD FOR THANKSGIVING, CONTRIBUTING TO WHAT IS BEING PROJECTED TO BE A RECORD BREAKING TRAVEL WEEK. HOWEVER, THE WEATHER AND SHEER VOLUME OF TRAVELERS IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT TRIPS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. NBC NEWS’S EMILY OKITA HAS THE LATEST. HEY THERE. WELL, THANKSGIVING IS THE BUSIEST HOLIDAY FOR TRAVEL ALL YEAR, SO PERHAPS UNSURPRISINGLY, NEARLY 80 MILLION AMERICANS ARE EXPECTED, ACCORDING TO TRIPLE A, TO CRISSCROSS THE COUNTRY TO CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY. THE VAST MAJORITY GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL AND HITTING THE ROAD. ONE OF THE MAJOR MOTIVATING FACTORS IN THAT SURGE IN NUMBER IS THE GAS PRICES, THE LOWEST WE’VE SEEN IN A MATTER OF YEARS, DOWN ABOUT $0.25 FOR THE NATIONAL AVERAGE GALLON OF GAS COMPARED TO THIS TIME LAST YEAR. BUT A BIG POINT OF CONCERN HEADING INTO THIS WEEK THROUGHOUT THE TRAVEL WEEK, IS THE WEATHER OVER THE WEEKEND. THE WEST COAST WAS ALREADY HAMMERED BY HEAVY SNOW AND RAIN COMMUNITIES. THERE, STILL REELING FROM THE STORMS THAT SNARLED AIR TRAVEL MORE THAN 17,000 FLIGHTS DELAYED OR CANCELED SINCE FRIDAY. AND THERE’S MORE BAD WEATHER ON THE WAY FOR AN EVEN WIDER SWATH OF THE COUNTRY, AND IT COULD IMPACT MAJOR AIRPORT HUBS, INCLUDING DC, NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA, CAPPING OFF WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ONE OF THE BUSIEST TRAVEL YEARS ON RECORD FOR THE TSA. AIRPORT OFFICIALS SAY IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO CUT BACK ON SOME OF THE LINES, IT’S IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU CAN AND PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY, CANNOT BRING THROUGH SECURITY. THEY SAY A GOOD RULE OF THUMB IF YOU CAN SPREAD IT, SPILL IT, PUMP IT, OR POUR IT, WELL, THEN IT’S NOT A SOLID AND YOU CANNOT BRING IT IN YOUR CARRY ON. BACK TO YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND NOW YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE AT THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY FROM OUR SKYCAM NETWORK. AND A WINDY AND CHILLY WEEKEND IS GIVING WAY TO A SLIGHTLY WARMER MONDAY. SO LET’S SAY GOOD AFTERNOON TO METEOROLOGIST MARY ELLEN PAN AND MARY ELLEN UNFORTUNATELY. SEEMS LIKE THERE’S GOING TO BE SOME RAIN ON THE HORIZON FOR THIS HOLIDAY WEEK. YEAH, WE DEFINITELY HAVE SOME RAIN IN THE FORECAST, BUT RIGHT NOW IT IS DRY. WE’RE DEALING WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE. A GORGEOUS DAY FOR OUR MONDAY AS WE TAKE A LOOK THROUGH OUR YORK SKYCAM. YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF BLUE SKY, BUT THE TREND WILL BE FOR THE CLOUDS TO INCREASE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT OUR STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK, AND YOU CAN SEE THE CLOUDS IN THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE, EXTENDING ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS IS AHEAD OF OUR NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM THAT WILL BE MAKING ITS WAY IN HERE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND INTO EARLY TOMORROW, BRINGING THE NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR SEEING SOME SHOWERS. BUT RIGHT NOW, GET OUT AND ENJOY. WE GET A NICE BREAK FROM THE WINDS. TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE LOW 50S FOR MOST LOCATIONS. STILL SITTING AT 49 IN ELIZABETHTOWN, 48 IN SELINSGROVE, 45 IN LEWISTOWN, BUT ELSEWHERE. LOW 50S. SO WE ARE LOOKING AT HIGHS IN THE MID 50S. IT’S GOING TO FEEL QUITE NICE AS WE CHECK OUT YOUR NEXT 12 HOUR FORECAST. CLOUDS WILL BE INCREASING LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND WE’LL TOP OUT AROUND 5455 DEGREES. A FEW SPOTS COULD EVEN HIT 56 DEGREES NOW. SHOWERS LOOK TO HOLD OFF FOR MUCH OF THE EVENING, BUT ONCE WE GET BEYOND, I WOULD SAY TEN 11:00, ESPECIALLY IN OUR WESTERN COUNTIES, WE’LL START TO SEE THE FIRST DROPS FALL. I’LL HAVE MORE ON THE TIMING OF THOSE SHOWERS AND HOW MUCH WE COULD PICK UP, PLUS A LOOK AHEAD TO SOME RAIN FOR THANKSGIVING DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MARY ELLEN. AND IF YOU ARE HITTING THOSE ROADS WITH THE CAPITAL CITY TODAY, YOU’RE GOING TO NEED TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SOME BACKUPS. THAT’S BECAUSE A BLASTING PROJECT IS HAPPENING ALONG I 83. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, OUR TRAFFIC ANCHOR, REGINA REGINA AHN, HAS THE DETAILS. NOW, THE BLASTING STARTED AT 11 THIS MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THREE THIS AFTERNOON. TODAY AND TOMORROW. NOW THE PROJECT RUNS FROM CAMERON STREET TO NORTH 17TH STREET IN HARRISBURG. NOW THERE WILL BE ROLLING STOPS OF UP TO TEN MINUTES IN BOTH DIRECTIONS OF I 83 BETWEEN THE ROUTE 581 INTERCHANGE IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY AND THE EISENHOWER INTERCHANGE IN DAUPHIN COUNTY. NOW, THIS IS PART OF THE CAPITAL BELTWAY PROJECT TO IMPROVE ROAD CONDITIONS, TRAFFIC CONGESTION, AND SAFETY. BACK TO YOU. AND THANKSGIVING IS THIS THURSDAY, AND THAT MEANS IT’S THE START OF ONE OF THE BUSIEST TRAVEL WEEKS OF THE YEAR. IN ALL, MORE THAN 3 MILLION PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO BE ON THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE STARTING TOMORROW. THAT GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS COMING SUNDAY. THE BUSIEST DAY WILL BE WEDNESDAY, WITH AN ESTIMATED 680,000 TRAVELERS ON THE ROAD. ALL ROAD WORK IS GOING TO BE SUSPENDED. BY THE WAY, DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. THAT WILL MAKE THE THE DRIVE JUST A LITTLE BIT SMOOTHER. WE SWITCH GEARS HERE AND IF YOU’RE A FAN OF BULLDOGS, THEN YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO BE IN GETTYSBURG THIS WEEK FOR THE NATIONAL BULLDOG COMPETITION. OUR GABRIELLE THOMAS HAS MORE FROM THE EISENHOWER HOTEL. ON WHAT THESE LITTLE BULLIES ARE GOING TO BE DOING. PEOPLE WILL BE COMING FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TO SEE THESE BEAUTIFUL BULLDOGS HERE AT BULLDOG CLUB OF AMERICA, AND THESE DOGS WILL BE SHOWCASING THEIR CONFORMATION AND OBEDIENCE SKILLS. I HAVE CATHY DEL GRANDE JOINING ME. SHE’S THE PRESIDENT FOR DIVISION ONE. CATHY, WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT THIS YEAR AND WHAT IS CONFORMATION? CONFORMATION IS THE OVERALL APPEARANCE OF THE DOG. SO SO SO IF YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE DOG, WE’RE LOOKING FOR HIS TYPE. WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOUNDNESS AND TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY THIS COMPETITION STANDS OUT FROM THE REST. THIS IS OUR NATIONAL SPECIALTY WITH BULLDOG CLUB OF AMERICA. AND SO WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE BROUGHT JUDGES IN FROM ENGLAND. SO SO IT’S SPECIAL TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO COME AND TO SHOW TO PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES AND GET THEIR PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT THEY LOOK AT OUR DOGS FOR. ALL RIGHT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME OUT AND SEE THESE BEAUTIFUL BULLDOGS, YOU CAN DO SO THROUGH NOVEMBER 30TH. ADMISSION IS FREE. REPORTING HERE I
