Post Tropical Cyclone Beryl is now near Detroit, Michigan still bringing the threat for heavy rain, flooding and even a few tornadoes to parts of the Great Lakes and Northeast. It has 30 mph winds and should cross into Canada by tomorrow. National hurricane center is also monitoring an area of showers and storms off the SE US coast with a very LOW 10% chance of development over the next 2-7 days. No tropical activity is expected in the Gulf of Mexico for the rest of the week.

A Heat Advisory is in effect for our entire viewing area through this evening. Once again, feels-like temperatures could reach up to 105 degrees. Drink plenty of water, find a/c if you can, and if you are working outside wear loose fitting clothing. There is the chance for isolated storms this afternoon south of I-10. Storm chances are on the rise at the end of the week and start of the weekend. The tropics remain quiet this week. Stay up-to-date on weather where you live by downloading the FOX Local app.

HEAT ADVISORY has been extended until 8 pm Wednesday with heat index values near 105 expected. The threat is much bigger than normal with over 1 million Houstonians still without power from Hurricane Beryl. Try to find a cooling center and try not to overdo it with cleanup if you are still without A/C. There may be a little relief the next few afternoons with spotty showers and a few storms possible. Rain chances increase Friday through Sunday. So make sure you have a tarp for your roof if you sustained damage. At least there's no other tropical activity expected in the Atlantic the next few days.
