The sheriff also told me that this elevator is used for staff members, the criminal justice system. This woman is a staff member of the criminal Justice Center.

We dont see anything on the satellite radar, theres hardly a cloud in the sky, and any of those clouds are just fair weather clouds. The showers are still down in virginia, and west virginia, just where they were yesterday, not getting any closer to this area. So as we go through the afternoon, temperatures are into the 80s, but not the upper 80s. And the humidity still slow for this time of the year. And as we go into the night, down to 70 degrees in the suburbs by 10 00, 69 in the Lehigh Valley. So weve got another relatively comfortable night after a very comfortable day.
