(WBRE/WYOU) — As the temperatures rise across the Keystone State and many are taking steps to beat the heat, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is reminding pet owners how to keep their pets safe amid the summer heat.

The ASPCA provided pet owners with some pointers from their experts at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) to keep their furry friends healthy this summer.

(WBRE/WYOU) — We officially broke all the old record high temperatures Monday with new records at Avoca, Williamsport, and Mount Pocono. Records may be broken once again Tuesday.

After record-breaking high temperatures on Monday, we really don't get any relief from the heat and humidity on Tuesday. Once again, plenty of sunshine will heat us up to the mid-90s by the afternoon (today's records: AVP 94 degrees from 1908/1923, IPT 100 degrees from 1923/1925, MPO 92 degrees from 1914).

Sunday marked the second straight day of extreme heat across the Midwest and East Coast.

(WBRE/WYOU)— The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Flash Flood Warning for three counties.

The NWS has issued a Flash Flood Warning for northern Lackawanna County, southwestern Susquehanna County, and Northeastern Wyoming County until 2:15 p.m.

At 11:09a.m., Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the warned area.

Between one and two inches of rain has already fallen. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.

With so many of us needing to find a way to keep cool, our Verify team is checking out some common heat myths.

LEWISBURG — A downed tree destroyed an apartment on Lewisburg’s South Water Street during Thursday evening’s storm.

While it's often believed that the summer solstice is an event that spans an entire calendar day, the solstice actually lasts just a moment.

The storm was downgraded slightly before making landfall, from a powerful Category 4 to a Category 3.

Forecasters say Erick is expected to strengthen further before crashing into the coast with potentially destructive winds and life-threatening flash floods.

The soupy conditions will stretch into next week and the humid conditions will make it feel extra toasty.
