DEW POINTS ARE NOW DOWN INTO THE 50S AT THIS TIME. YESTERDAY THEY WERE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. SO THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE. FEELS LIKE IT’S 78, IN LEBANON, FEELS LIKE IT’S A COMFORTABLE 75. IF YOU’RE WATCHING US IN LEWISTOWN, NO ACTION ON LIVE LOCAL EIGHT RADAR. BUT I’VE ALSO TURNED ON THE WIND SPEEDS. THE WINDS ARE NOW AT 21MPH IN LANCASTER. WE’VE GOT A STIFF WIND RIGHT NOW IN READING AT 26MPH. WE’LL JUST SEE SOME PASSING CLOUDS AND A COMFORTABLE BREEZE AS WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AS TEMPERATURES TOP OFF IN THE MID 80S. ENJOY THIS BREAK FROM THE HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY, BECAUSE THE HIGH HEAT RETURNS TOMORROW. THEN THE HUMIDITY AND STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE. WEDNESDAY. I’LL TALK ABOUT THIS MORE COMING UP THE TEN DAY FORECAST. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. A SHIP THAT HIT THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY BRIDGE IN BALTIMORE THREE MONTHS AGO, CAUSING IT TO COLLAPSE, HAS NOW SAILED AWAY. THE DALI WAS ESCORTED BEYOND THE REMAINS OF THE BRIDGE THIS MORNING AND IS NOW HEADED TO NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, FOR REPAIRS. EIGHT CREW MEMBERS WERE CLEARED THIS WEEKEND TO RETURN TO THEIR HOME COUNTRIES. THEY ARE REQUIRED TO BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY DEPOSITIONS IN THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION ON. SIX CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WERE KILLED IN THE BRIDGE COLLAPSE. A FIRE AT A BATTERY PLANT IN SOUTH KOREA KILLED AT LEAST 16 PEOPLE. AND SERIOUSLY INJURED TWO OTHER PEOPLE, OFFICIALS SAY. 23 OTHER WORKERS ARE STILL MISSING. FIRE OFFICIALS SAY A SERIES OF BATTERY CELLS EXPLODED INSIDE THE WAREHOUSE, CONTAINING SOME 35,000 UNITS, SPARKING THE FIRE. THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. NEW AT NOON BUCKINGHAM PALACE SAID TODAY. PRINCESS ANNE SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES AND A CONCUSSION IN AN INCIDENT ON AN ESTATE IN SOUTHWEST ENGLAND. THE PALACE SAID THAT THE 73 YEAR OLD SISTER OF KING CHARLES WAS HOSPITALIZED AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE FOR OBSERVATION AND IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A FULL RECOVERY. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED YESTERDAY AT GATCOMBE PARK ESTATE. THERE WERE HORSES IN THE AREA, BUT THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED. HER MEDICAL TEAM SAID THAT HER HEAD INJURIES WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE POTENTIAL IMPACT FROM A HORSE’S HEAD OR LEGS. ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU TOLD HIS CABINET YESTERDAY THAT THERE HAD BEEN A DRAMATIC DROP IN U.S. WEAPONS DELIVERIES FOR ISRAEL’S WAR AGAINST GAZA. HE DOUBLED DOWN ON A CLAIM THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAD DENIED. NBC’S MATT BRADLEY REPORTS FROM TEL AVIV. IT’S BEEN A WEEK SINCE THAT WAR OF WORDS BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND JERUSALEM BROKE OUT, AND PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU OF ISRAEL IS NOW DOUBLING DOWN, INSISTING ONCE AGAIN YESTERDAY THAT THERE HAVE BEEN DELAYS IN SHIPMENTS OF U.S. WEAPONS TO ISRAEL. NOW, THE U.S. AND THE WHITE HOUSE SPENT THE BETTER PART OF THE LAST WEEK DENYING THAT THERE WERE ANY DELAYS. BUT BENJAMIN NETANYAHU IS STILL PRESSING THIS POINT. BUT WE’VE ALSO HEARD FROM THE PRIME MINISTER HERE THAT HE IS WILLING TO MAKE A PARTIAL DEAL WITH HAMAS IN ORDER TO FREE SOME OF THOSE REMAINING HOSTAGES. THERE’S THOUGHT TO BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 50 AND 80 WHO ARE STILL ALIVE IN THE GAZA STRIP. BUT HE’S STILL STICKING TO HIS POSITION THAT HAMAS MUST BE COMPLETELY DESTROYED BEFORE THE WAR ENDS. NOW, ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING, THIS FIGHTING BETWEEN NETANYA AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND THE LACK OF A DEAL TO FREE THESE HOSTAGES AS THE WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HEZBOLLAH HEATS UP IN THE NORTH OF THIS COUNTRY, WE’VE SEEN FOREST FIRES AND FIRINGS OF SHOTS AND MUNITIONS BY HEZBOLLAH AT ISRAEL. THE ISRAELIS HAVE BEEN FIRING BACK, AND IT WAS JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THAT HASSAN NASRALLAH, THE HEAD OF HEZBOLLAH, AIRED OUT A SURVEILLANCE VIDEO THAT SHOWED FOOTAGE TAKEN BY DRONE OF SOME MAJOR ISRAELI CITIES AND MILITARY INSTALLATIONS. IT WAS AN OMINOUS WARNING AND SOMETHING OF A BOAST SHOWING THE REACH OF HIS DRONES AND HEZBOLLAH’S CAPABILITY. SHOULD THIS COME TO WAR NOW WE’RE HEARING A LOT ABOUT THIS, AND AMERICANS PARTICULARLY HAVE BEEN WARNING THE ISRAELIS AND THE LEBANESE THAT ANY WAR BETWEEN HEZBOLLAH AND ISRAEL WOULD LIKELY BREAK OUT INTO THE WIDER REGION INVOLVING IRAN AND MAYBE EVEN THE UNITED STATES. AND THAT JUST LIKE WE’RE SEEING IN THE GAZA STRIP AND ON ISRAEL’S NORTHERN BORDER AND IN SOUTHERN LEBANON, WOULD BE A BURDEN THAT WOULD BE CARRIED PRIMARILY BY CIVILIANS I
