The suspect fled on foot; troopers searched the area but were unable to locate him. The employees sustained minor injuries.
Becoming stickier and a bit unsettled
High pressure is still in control but is has been slowly sliding eastbound. With that, the wind has turned back around from the SW. That wind flow pumped our temps back into the lower and middle 80s this afternoon which is closer to seasonable levels. Slowly but surely, the humidity will start to creep up with this wind flow as well. We'll start to notice a stickier feel in the air on Sunday, combining with the warmth to make for a more Summer-Like feels. Heat Index values could rise back into the lower 90s early in the workweek with even hotter conditions by midweek. The heat and humidity will also help with some stray storms as a few different disturbances slide through the region. The first arrives late Sunday into Monday. We'll keep the threat of isolated storms on Monday too as we'll still have some lift on top of us. A rogue stronger storm is possible with some more instability in the atmosphere. This is something we'll be watching closely as a Marginal Risk is draped across parts of the area. Tuesday looks drier as we'll be in between waves, but it'll still muggy and warm. The pattern stays active , with another series of disturbances moving in Wednesday into the weekend. None of the days are looking like washouts but we'll keep the slim chance in the forecast through much of next week. A stronger system looks to slide our way and that could eventually bring higher shower and storm chances next weekend. A cold front likely swings through the Commonwealth and will bring us back down into the lower 80s by Sunday. It's still over a week a way but it's something we'll continue to monitor. Another cold front slides our way likely in the Monday to Tuesday timeframe, keeping our shower and storm threat elevated. Temperatures look to fall back down below normal, dipping back into the upper 70s and lower 80s by Tuesday.

First-Round Bust Could Get Second Chance With Panthers, Ravens
Cornerback Kaiir Elam has not worked out in Buffalo, and the Bills could trade him after two disappointing seasons. A first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Elam was supposed to solidify a talented secondary and help Buffalo slow down the elite passing attacks of the AFC. Instead, the Florida product has failed to make an impact at the professional level. Injuries limited Elam to just three games last year, but his on-field tape leaves plenty to be desired. According to Pro Football Focus, he had a subpar 58.8 grade in 2023 and an equally underwhelming 56.7 grade in 2022.
Ravens encouraged to cut ties with veteran wide receiver
It wouldn't be an overreaction to suggest the Baltimore Ravens could use reinforcements in the wide receiver room. The receiver position is thin outside WR1 Zay Flowers as Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor fail to deliver consistently. In an attempt to bolster the receiver room, the Ravens signed veteran receiver Russell Gage.
One Orioles All-Star Is Battling a Late Season Slump
Adley Rutschman, widely regarded as the face of the Baltimore Orioles franchise, has had an abysmal second half. What can he do to turn it around?. Selected with the first pick in the 2019 MLB draft, Rutschman was a bonified star from day 1. He quickly moved through the minor leagues, and in early 2022 made his MLB debut. Not only was his debut special because he was a former top prospect, but because that day was when the Orioles quit their losing ways. Since Rutschman’s debut on May 21, 2022, the Orioles have a .586 winning percentage, the third-best in the league. Rutschman marked the turning point for the Orioles. He then made his first All-Star game last season, and had a great first half this season, earning his second All-Star nod. However, Rutschman has struggled mightily in the second half of 2024. Similarly to how the Orioles were great because of Rutschman, they are now in danger of missing the postseason, partially due to Rutschman’s struggles.
