Beach closes at central Pennsylvania state park
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — Swimmers at Pine Grove Furnace State Park have one less option as temperatures heat up. Laurel Beach, one of the park's two beaches, is temporarily closed as of Wednesday, June 18. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now An alert posted by the park said heavy rainfall made the lake unsafe due to turbidity and debris. Turbidity is a measure of water clarity. During high turbidity, which makes water cloudy, the United States Geological Survey said particles can provide cover for metals and bacteria. The park said the beach will remain closed until further notice. However, nearby Fuller Beach remains open. Avoid these Midstate locations with high levels The closure comes after the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association reported high levels in 16 Midstate locations, including several in Cumberland County. Laurel Beach was not one of the locations tested by the nonprofit, which independently tests water health, and the park has not reported at either of its beaches. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Kroger is giving away 92,000 pints of free ice cream today. Here's how to get yours
Do you love summer? And ice cream? Then you are going to love today. That's because Friday, June 20, 2025, is officially the start of summer in North America, and in celebration of that, grocery store giant Kroger is giving away 92,000 free pints of ice cream. Yep, you read that right: 92,000. Here's what you need to know, including how to get your free pint. Summer begins in the northern hemisphere Astronomical summer officially begins on the summer solstice every year. It's the day that the sun travels its highest arc across the northern hemisphere. Due to that arc, the summer solstice is also the longest day of the year. However, one note about the summer solstice: Depending on where you are in the northern hemisphere, it actually may not occur until a day later than it occurs in some countries. This is because of the time zone difference between countries. As ABC News points out, the sun will be at its highest point in relation to the northern hemisphere at 10:42 p.m. ET tonight, which means that the summer solstice will occur in all countries in North America and Central America today, June 20. However, 10:42 p.m. ET June 20 is June 21 in countries across the Atlantic, which is why astronomical summer starts a day 'later' in those countries. But you're really here for free ice cream news, right? And Kroger is in North America, which is why it is celebrating the summer solstice by giving away 92,000 pints of free ice cream today, June 20. How you can get a free pint from Kroger Kroger is giving away 92,000 free pints of ice cream today to celebrate both the start of summer and its new limited-time Summer in a Pint collection of ice cream. This new summer collection of ice cream includes four flavors: Italian Style Summer Fizz Fireside Nights Sandy Shores Poolside Tan Lines. With Kroger's ice cream giveaway today, you can try any one of those flavors for free. However, the grocery store chain's free ice cream pint giveaway isn't limited to only one of those four flavors. Customers can get a free pint of the new Summer in a Pint collection or any classic Kroger Brand ice cream flavors. Here's how: Go to Choose the Kroger-owned store that you want to get your free ice cream pint from. In addition to a Kroger's location, you can also get a free pint from Kroger's other brands, including: Baker's, City Market, Dillons, Food 4 Less, Fred Meyer. Fry's, Gerbes, Jay C Food Store, Mariano's, Metro Market, Pay-Less Super Markets, Pick 'n Save, and Smith's Food and Drug. You'll then be able to download a single-use digital coupon good for one free pint of ice cream. The coupons will go live using the steps above at 12 pm EST today, Friday, June 20, 2025. As long as you get your digital coupon, you can use it at the Kroger family of stores listed above any time between today and July 4. However, note that these digital coupons are limited to 92,000, so once they are gone, so is your chance of getting a free pint of ice cream. The free pint promotion is available in all U.S. states except California, Colorado, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Nevada. And if you're wondering why Kroger decided to give away 92,000 pints, it's because there are 92 days in summer this year, and Kroger is giving away 1,000 pints for every day of the summer period. Kroger faced Juneteenth backlash this week While Kroger may win a lot of customer goodwill for giving away bucket loads of ice cream today, yesterday the company faced notable backlash after a Georgia location offered Juneteenth-themed cakes that appeared to be quickly and haphazardly decorated. One widely circulating video showed multiple Kroger 'Juneteenth' cakes with their icing appearing to be sloppily applied. One cookie cake read 'Free @ Last.' Today reported that Kroger has removed the cakes in question and issued an apology to customers, stating, 'Juneteenth holiday marks a commemoration and celebration of freedom and independence. However, we received feedback that a few items caused concern for some of our customers and we sincerely apologize.' The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) is headquartered in Cincinnati. It runs more than 2,700 stores across America. In March, the company reported its full-year 2024 results. During fiscal 2024, the company reported $147.1 billion in sales. As of the close of the market on Wednesday, KR stock is up 7% since the beginning of the year. Over the past year, KG shares have climbed 26%.

Pleasant weather returns to Pittsburgh on Friday, but a heat wave looms
Humidity breaks today, even as high temperatures go up. Earlier this week, model data was showing today's high being cooler than yesterday's high. I didn't bite and kept today's temperature warmer than yesterday's, and it looks like a good call at this point. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos The one thing that will be noticeably lower than yesterday will be dew points and oppressive humidity. Dew points are all the way down in the upper 50s right now, and that's about where they will be all day today. Conditions in Pittsburgh today KDKA Weather Center This has allowed morning temperatures to dip to near 60 to start the day. There was some valley fog due to the cool temperatures and saturated ground this morning. The pleasant weather will continue into the afternoon with highs hitting the mid-80s. I have noon temperatures near 80 degrees. Winds will be light, coming in out of the west at around 5mph. Expect lots of sunshine today, but a pesky shower or storm chance will persist this afternoon. I think almost everyone is dry, with the best chance for seeing a brief storm happening north of Cranberry and after 3 this afternoon. Saturday will be a transition day with us starting off with pleasant conditions, but humidity will go up throughout the day. I have Saturday highs hitting 87°. Temperatures and heat index over the next six days KDKA Weather Center Our first potential heat wave of the year arrives on Sunday, with temperatures flirting with 90 degrees all the way through at least next Sunday. History tells us that we likely won't see eight straight days with highs in the 90s, but it will certainly be possible. At this point, it doesn't look like we get too close to an overall record high temperature day in Pittsburgh. Places in our area that will be under Excessive Heat Watch beginning on Sunday KDKA Weather Center We'd have to hit 95° in order to set a record (Monday, Thursday) next week, and I don't have us getting to 93°. We may hit what we call a record max-min. This would be the hottest low temperature. Right now I have us tying the max-min record of 74° on Tuesday. Right now is the time to prepare for the heat, including checking a/c units to make sure they're working properly. You can also clean fan blades. Eating cool foods can also help to cool your body's internal temperature. Finally, cold showers are one of the best ways to stay cool in your home, both before and after it. If you can't get relief while at your home, head to your local library. 7-day forecast: June 20, 2025 KDKA Weather Center Stay up to date with the KDKA Mobile App – which you can download here!
