YEAH. THAT’S RIGHT, GET READY FOR ROUNDS OF RAIN AND THAT COULD BE A SOAKING RAIN AT TIMES DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WE’RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK RIGHT NOW ACROSS THE VALLEY, BUT WE STILL HAVE THAT THICK CLOUD COVER AND TEMPERATURES ARE RELATIVELY MILD. SO RIGHT NOW, 52 DEGREES IN LANCASTER, 51. IF YOU’RE WATCHING US IN HARRISBURG, IT IS A DRY SCAN ON LIVE LOCAL RADAR, BUT THERE STILL COULD BE SOME PATCHY DRIZZLE DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. HERE’S WHAT WE’RE TRACKING FOR LATER TONIGHT. WE HAVE A STORM OFF TO OUR WEST. YOU CAN SEE THAT STEADY RAIN MOVING THROUGH NORTHERN PORTIONS OF MISSOURI, NOW INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS THAT WHOLE STORM SYSTEM PUSHES TO THE EAST AND OUR RAIN CHANCES WILL START TO GO UP AFTER MIDNIGHT.

SO MORE APRIL SHOWERS IN STORE FOR US DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THIS ACTIVE WEATHER STARTS TO PUSH OUT OF THE REGION IN THE STORM’S WAKE, WE’LL HAVE SOME GUSTY WINDS, BUT WE WILL SEE SOME PEEKS OF SUNSHINE.

TONIGHT, 130 PEOPLE ARE STILL OUT OF THEIR HOMES FOLLOWING THIS FIRE IN CARLISLE YESTERDAY. NEWS EIGHT’S TOM LEHMAN JOINS US LIVE FROM A RED CROSS SHELTER IN CARLISLE TONIGHT WITH MORE TOM. YEAH, JERRY, WE’RE AT THE CARLISLE CHURCH OF CHRIST AND THERE IS A RED CROSS SHELTER HERE FOR ANYBODY WHO MIGHT NEED IT. THIS COMING AFTER A FIRE THAT THE FIRE CHIEF TELLS ME THEY’RE HOPING TO HAVE SOMEWHAT RESOLVED FOR SOME RESIDENTS WITHIN A WEEK. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, THERE IS A LOT OF CLEANUP AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT IN THEIR HOMES. A RESTORATION COMPANY COULD BE SEEN AT THE NORTHSIDE VILLAGE APARTMENTS AS PEOPLE WENT IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING WITH BELONGINGS IN THEIR HANDS. WE HAD TO GO BACK AND SHOW EVERYTHING SAFE BEFORE PEOPLE GO BACK IN CARLISLE, FIRE CHIEF RANDY O’DONNELL TELLS ME. THE QUICK MOVING FIRE WAS SPARKED BY DISCARDED CHARCOAL AND ASHES FROM A GRILL USED ON A SECOND FLOOR OUTDOOR COMMON AREA. THEY WERE DOING SOME GRILLING. THEY THOUGHT THE ASHES WERE COOL AND THEY PUT THEM IN A RECEPTACLE, WHICH, UH, WHEN YOU’RE USING CHARCOAL WITH CHARCOAL, IT MAY SEEM COLD ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT IT TAKES SEVERAL HOURS AND SOMETIMES EVEN A DAY FOR THAT TO COOL DOWN TO WHERE IT’S SAFE. THE FIRE QUICKLY CLIMBED THE VINYL SIDING, REACHING THE ROOF ABOVE THE FOURTH FLOOR. THE RED CROSS IS OFFERING SHELTER AND GOODS FOR THOSE WHO ARE DISPLACED, AS WELL AS OTHER SERVICES. WE HAVE MENTAL MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS I REFERENCED, BUT WE ALSO HAVE HEALTH SERVICES VOLUNTEERS THAT IF THERE’S DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, THAT’S LIFE SUSTAINING, THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WE MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THAT BACK IN ACTION AND WE GET THAT IN THEIR IN THEIR HANDS IF THEY NEED IT. NOW, THE FIRE CHIEF TELLS ME THAT A PERSONAL GRILL WAS THE DEVICE THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THIS. HE ALSO SAID THAT HE BELIEVES THE PROPERTY MANAGER DID NOT ALLOW THIS PARTICULAR DEVICE TO BE IN USE AT THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION. SO HE SAID THAT THIS IS A DEVICE, A GRILL THAT PROBABLY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN USED WHERE IT WAS IN CARLISLE. TOM LEHMAN WGAL NEWS EIGHT. TOM, THANK YOU.
