The doomiest and gloomiest part of the work week is upon us. After widespread rain moved out yesterday, a regime of clouds, lake-effect, and chill has set in. A band of rain and snow showers has already set up to our west, with another band likely getting its act together to our east. With our current thinking, the eastern-based band could make marginal impacts over northwest Pennsylvania between mid-morning and the mid-afternoon, including for folks in Mercer and Lawrence Counties. For everyone, cloudy skies will persist with a northwesterly breeze keeping highs down in the low 40s.

Danville, Pa. — An unvaccinated Montour County resident has died after testing positive for measles, the Pennsylvania Department of Health confirmed Friday. It is the seventh measles-associated death reported in the state this year. The department said it will not release further details about the individual to protect the family’s privacy. The death has been reported to the CDC and added to the state’s measles dashboard. As of Friday, Pennsylvania has recorded 1,542 confirmed measles cases across 46 counties in 2026, along with 305 hospitalizations. Thirty-seven new cases have been confirmed since Nov. 9. Of the total cases, five involved people who had been vaccinated — less than 1%. The seven confirmed measles-associated deaths this year were two residents of Jefferson, three of Lancaster, one of Mifflin, and one of Montour counties. The department said it is still investigating a reported death of a Franklin County resident in October and has not yet confirmed it meets the criteria for a measles-associated death. To be counted as measles-associated, a death must occur within 30 days of symptom onset in someone with clinical evidence of measles and a positive lab test, and it cannot be due to an unrelated cause.

For years, if you wanted to pass a new election law in Pennsylvania, you were out of luck. The fact that Democrats and Republicans had split control of Harrisburg meant it was very difficult to agree on any changes. But that may change as a result of last week’s election, when Democrats won full control of state government — the Senate, House, and governor’s office — for the first time in decades. “There were two things on the ballot last Tuesday: the economy and democracy,” said Democratic state Rep. Izzy Smith-Wade-El. “So I think elections are going to be a top priority.” Leaders of the fledgling trifecta are remaining tight-lipped about what their focus will be. Spokespeople for House Majority Leader Matt Bradford and current Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa declined to make the legislators available for interviews, referring instead to a statement from Gov. Josh Shapiro last week that the trifecta’s legislative agenda would be released soon. Elections may not be the new government’s first priority. At a recent press conference, Shapiro specifically mentioned funding
