The National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory for Higher Elevations of Indiana and Beaver County from midnight to 10 a.m. on Thursday. Temperatures will drop into the low to middle 30s, resulting in frost formation that could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation. Residents are advised to take steps to protect their plants by covering them or moving them indoors.
Gusty showers, with wind gusts of up to 50 mph, are expected in Beaver, Allegheny, Washington, and Greene counties until 10:15 p.m. tonight, according to a report issued by the National Weather Service at 9:09 p.m. Residents are advised to take precautions and seek shelter in a building if outdoors. The affected areas include Pittsburgh, Mount Lebanon, Wheeling, Moon Township, and other locations in these counties. The weather service has also issued safety tips for driving in heavy rain, including maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles, slowing down, and avoiding flooded areas.
Pennsylvania State Police have identified a body discovered in an abandoned building last week as Ri’Kiah Griffie, a 24-year-old Aliquippa resident who went missing in October 2022. The Beaver County Times reported that dental records confirmed the identity of the body, which was found in Aliquippa on Thursday.
