Up to date: 11:01 AM EDT Jun 26, 2024
NEWS TO GO. WE HAVE A LOOK AT TODAY’S TOP NEWS STORIES, TRAFFIC AND WEATHER ALL BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT THE DOOR. BUT WE START WITH THE U.S. HOUSE DISTRICT THREE RACE THIS MORNING. POLITICAL NEWCOMER SHERRY BIGGS MOVES ON TO THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION. SHE RECEIVED 51% OF THE VOTE TO BURNS’S 49%. INCUMBENT JEFF DUNCAN DID NOT SEEK REELECTION IN DISTRICT THREE. BIGGS WAS ENDORSED BY GOVERNOR HENRY MCMASTER, AND SHE SAYS SHE NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ENDORSING HER OPPONENT, SAYING SHE CAN WORK WITH HIM WHEN THEY BOTH GET TO D.C. IN NOVEMBER. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE HAD THAT ENDORSEMENT, BUT I DIDN’T. BUT IT DIDN’T CHANGE MY COURSE. I JUST STAYED FOCUSED ON MY CAMPAIGN. I WAS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BEFORE, AND I’LL BE WITH HIM AFTER, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HIM IN NOVEMBER. BUT FIRST, SHE’LL FACE HER DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT, BRIAN BEST, A PAINT STORE MANAGER FROM GREENWOOD. TODAY COULD BE THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR SO FAR, WHICH WILL MAKE IT PRETTY DIFFICULT TO STAY COOL. SO OUR ISABEL MARK IS LIVE AT UNITY PARK WITH SOME TIPS ON STAYING COOL AND SAFE. ISABEL. ERIN. IT’S BEST TO WEAR LIGHTER CLOTHING, SO DON’T FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE HERE. AND TO BRING PLENTY OF WATER. AND IF YOU PLAN ON RUNNING ERRANDS TODAY, YOU CAN RUN THEM BETWEEN BEFORE 10 A.M. OR AFTER SIX. BUT IF IT GETS TO THE POINT WHERE YOU THINK YOU ARE EXPERIENCING HEAT STROKE OR HEAT EXHAUSTION, HERE ARE A FEW SIGNS TO LOOK OUT FOR, COURTESY OF THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. IF YOU’RE EXPERIENCING DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, WEAKNESS, THESE COULD BE SIGNS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION, AND YOU SHOULD MOVE TO A COOLER AREA AND LOOSEN YOUR CLOTHING. IF IT GETS TO THE POINT, WE ARE CONFUSED AND FEELING LIKE YOU MAY PASS OUT, IT IS MOST LIKELY A HEAT STROKE. YOU SHOULD SEEK MEDICAL HELP FOR HEAT STROKE AND POSSIBLY HEAT EXHAUSTION. IF SYMPTOMS DON’T IMPROVE. WHEN IT COMES TO SUNSCREEN, USE ONE WITH SPF 30 AND REAPPLY EVERY TWO HOURS. THAT WILL KEEP YOU SAFE. YOUR SKIN SAFE, THAT IS, FROM THE SUN’S RAYS. IF YOU PLAN ON WALKING YOUR PET TODAY, WATCH OUT FOR THE PAVEMENT BECAUSE OFTENTIMES IT CAN BE HOTTER THAN THE AIR OUTSIDE, SO YOU CAN PRACTICE THE SEVEN SECOND TEST BY PUTTING THE BACK OF YOUR PALM ON THE PAVEMENT. IF YOUR HAND CAN HANDLE IT. USUALLY YOUR PETS FEET CAN TOO. IN GREENVILLE IS WELLMARK WYFF NEWS FOUR. ISABEL. THANK YOU. AS WE GEAR UP FOR THE 2024 PARIS OLYMPICS, WE’LL WATCH THE COMPETITION FROM VENUES WHICH HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS, OR EVEN A CENTURY. IT’S A BIG PART OF HOW PARIS WAS ABLE TO CUT ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT COMPARED TO PREVIOUS OLYMPICS. BUT THOSE GREEN GOALS WEREN’T ALWAYS EASY. NATIONAL CLIMATE REPORTER CHASE KANE TRAVELED TO PARIS TO SEE HOW THEY’RE EMBRACING THE PAST AS A WAY TO HELP OUR FUTURE. BUILDING ANY NEW STADIUM OR ARENA COMES AT A COST TO OUR PLANET, SO UNDERSTANDING, LIKE THE LONG LIST OF THINGS, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE BILL OF MATERIALS OF THE GAMES WAS KEY FOR US TO FIRST OF ALL UNDERSTAND IT. AND THEN CHALLENGE IT. THE HEAD OF PARIS 2024 SUSTAINABILITY EXPLAINED HOW THEY COMBED THROUGH EVERY DETAIL, FROM THE NUMBER OF CHAIRS NEEDED TO RENTING TEMPORARY BLEACHERS FOR ICONIC LOCATIONS LIKE THE EIFFEL TOWER AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHAT THEY CHOSE NOT TO BUILD. HAVING A CONCEPTION OF WHICH VENUE YOU WILL BE USE, DO YOU DO YOU REALLY NEED TO BUILD A NEW VENUE OR CAN YOU REUSE ANOTHER ONE? WELCOME. INSIDE ONE OF ONLY TWO NEW VENUES BUILT FOR THE OLYMPICS. ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED IS THAT IT’S A MINIMAL ARENA. THERE’S NOT A LOT OF EXTRA STUFF IN HERE, AND ONE OF THE THINGS FANS WILL NOTICE FIRST ARE THAT THESE SEATS ARE MADE ENTIRELY OF RECYCLED PLASTIC. THE COMPANY WHO MADE THE SEATS WORKED WITH 50 RECYCLERS TO GATHER 100 TONS OF PLASTIC, WHICH WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN INCINERATED, CREATING AIR POLLUTION INSTEAD. ALL THAT PLASTIC TRASH BECAME 11,000 SEATS. THE ONLY OTHER NEW CONSTRUCTION WAS THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE, WHICH BECOMES PERMANENT HOUSING FOR THOUSANDS AFTER THE GAMES. IT WAS BUILT WITH LESS CONCRETE, MORE WOOD AND ROOFTOP SOLAR TO LIMIT ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT, BUT IT FACED PUSHBACK FROM ATHLETES FOR ITS EXCLUSION OF TRADITIONAL AIR CONDITIONING IN FAVOR OF CARBON FREE GEOTHERMAL COOLING. WE HAVE ACCEPTED TO TAKE THE RISK OF INNOVATING, OF TRYING NEW THINGS, SHOWING THAT WE MADE THE MATH AND THIS SHOULD WORK. ANOTHER WAVE OF BACKLASH FOLLOWED CONSTRUCTION OF AN OBSERVATION TOWER ON TOP OF A REEF IN TAHITI. FOR OLYMPIC SURFING, BUT PARIS OFFICIALS SAY EVEN THAT WAS STRATEGIC, HOPING FANS CHOOSE NOT TO FLY THERE. INSTEAD WATCHING SURFING ON NBC OUT OF ALL THE EXISTING VENUES THIS ONE HAS THE MOST HISTORY. YVES DU MANOIR STADIUM WAS HERE A CENTURY AGO FOR THE 1924 SUMMER OLYMPICS. IT HOSTED THE OPENING CEREMONIES, BUT THIS SUMMER IT’S GOING TO HOST FIELD HOCKEY. AS CITIES ACROSS FRANCE HOPE TO SHOW THAT WHAT’S BEST FOR OUR PLANET IS WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE. AND THAT’S PART OF THE REASON LE, 28, DECIDED TO EMBRACE WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE, BUILDING NO NEW VENUES IN PARIS. NATIONAL CLIMATE REPORTER CHASE KANE. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. HAPPY WEDNESDAY. IT’S GOING TO BE HOT TODAY. IN FACT, THE HOTTEST DAY WE’VE HAD ON THIS DATE WAS BACK IN THE 1950S. WE HIT 100 DEGREES. TODAY WE’RE GOING TO BE ABOUT 98, SO WE’LL COME CLOSE TO THAT. A GREAT DAY TO BE ON THE LAKE IF YOU CAN. I KNOW IT’S A WEEKDAY, BUT DOESN’T AT LEAST LOOK NICE. 70 DEGREES IN CLEMSON AND IN ANDERSON, 66 IN HARTWELL, 69 DEGREES IN GREENWOOD. AS WE TAKE A LOOK OUTSIDE, WE’VE GOT A FEW EXTRA CLOUDS COMING OUR WAY FOR PARTS OF THE MOUNTAINS, BUT WE’LL JUST SAY PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. WE’VE GOT A WHOLE LOT OF SUNSHINE AS WELL, SO IT’S GOING TO BE HOT. WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST. IT’S ALSO GOING TO BE HUMID. HIGHS TOPPING OUT NEAR 98 DEGREES ON THIS LIVE SUPER DOPPLER FOUR IMPACT DAY. THAT’S FOR GREENVILLE IN THE UPSTATE. WILL BE CLOSER TO 92 FOR ASHEVILLE RUTHERFORDTON AND THE MOUNTAINS. WE’LL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT YOUR FOUR DAY PLUS, WHICH HAS BETTER RAIN CHANCES TOMORROW AND THE WEEKEND TOO. THE LATEST ON THAT COMING UP IN JUST A LITTLE WHILE RIGHT NOW. LET’S GET YOU OUTSIDE, GET A CHECK ON OUR MORNING COMMUTE. HOW’S THE ROADS LOOKING, AARON PARELLA IN THIS AREA. THIS IS THE SLOWDOWN WE TEND TO SEE ABOUT THIS TIME OF THE MORNING. I WOULD BE WILLING TO GUESS MOST OF THOSE AC UNITS AND THOSE CARS ARE WORKING MAYBE A LITTLE EXTRA HARD THIS MORNING AS THEY ROLL THROUGH THAT AREA. I-85 AT HIGHWAY 14. WE TEND TO SEE THIS BACK UP AROUND THE PELHAM ROAD HIGHWAY 14 AREA. SO IF YOUR TRAVELS ARE TAKING YOU EITHER BACK OR FORTH FROM GREENVILLE TO SPARTANBURG OR VICE VERSA, OR EVEN TO GSP AROUND THAT 14 AREA, I DO RECOMMEND YOU LEAVE A FEW MINUTES EARLY. AT THIS POINT, AS I DO PRETTY MUCH EVERY SINGLE WEEKDAY MORNING AT ABOUT THIS TIME, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IN OUR TRAVEL TIMES. TWO, PARTICULARLY 85 SOUTHBOUND FROM AIRPORT TO WOODRUFF ROAD. IT’S NOT A SIGNIFICANT DELAY. IT’S JUST UP NINE MINUTES. BUT WE DO TEND TO SEE THAT INCREASE AS WE GET INTO 7:00 AND A LITTLE BIT PAST THAT. SO I RECOMMEND YOU LEAVE EARLY FOR THAT ONE AS WELL. I-240 TO ASHEVILLE HIGHWAY THOUGH. BEEN IN THE GREEN ALL THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AT 12 MINUTES. AND IF YOU’RE HEADED IN ON 385 NORTHBOUND FROM FAIRVIEW ROAD, THE SIMPSONVILLE AREA INTO DOWNTOWN GREENVILLE, THAT ONE’S HOLDING STEADY AS WELL IN THE GREEN AT 13 MINUTES. IF YOU OWN A HOME, A VACATION HOME, OR LAND, YOU’LL WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON REAL ESTATE FRAUD SCHEME THAT’S MAKING THE ROUNDS HOME. TITLE FRAUD OCCURS WHEN SCAMMERS IMPERSONATE HOMEOWNERS TO EITHER REFINANCE OR SELL A VICTIM’S PROPERTY, AND THEN POCKET THE MONEY. AN UPSTATE REALTOR SAYS. IT’S HAPPENING IN OUR AREA, AND IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE AWARE PROPERTY AND FOUND. AND WE LITERALLY GOT IT ON THE MARKET AND WE WERE NEGOTIATING OFFERS. AND THEN THE OWNER DROVE BY, SAW OUR SIGN AND CALLED US, UM, AND THEN THE NEXT TIME WE, WE KIND OF GOT THROUGH THE PROCESS A LITTLE BIT AND THEN WE, WE FIGURED OUT THERE’S ENOUGH RED FLAGS THERE, UM, THAT WE DID A LITTLE MORE INVESTIGATION AND IT WAS A DEFINITELY A FRAUD SITUATION. EXPERTS RECOMMEND YOU PURCHASE TITLE INSURANCE IF YOU DON’T ALREADY HAVE IT. ALSO, KEEP AN EYE ON THE DEED TO YOUR PROPERTY. SOME COUNTIES HAVE DEED MONITORING SERVICES. FOR EXAMPLE, GREENVILLE COUNTY USES A TOOL CALLED FRAUD SLEUTH TO TRACK FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY AND LAND RECORDS. YOU CAN SET THAT UP ONLINE. IT WILL THEN ALERT Y
