HOUSTON — The return of soaring heat in Houston on Tuesday deepened the misery for millions of people still without power after Hurricane Beryl crashed into Texas and left residents in search of places to cool off and fuel up in one of the nation's largest cities.
Prolonged rain from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl engulfed the St. Louis region Tuesday, expected to bring one to three inches, or more in some places.
Forecasters say a long-running heat wave that has already shattered previous records across the U.S. will persist, baking parts of the West with dangerous temperatures that will soar into the 100s. The scorching weather will also hold the East in its hot and humid grip throughout the week.
Sizzling sidewalks and unshaded playgrounds are a danger for catastrophic burn injuries as air temperatures reach new summer highs in desert cities like Phoenix and Las Vegas.
Rising water levels on the region’s major rivers are sparking some complications in waterfront towns from St. Charles to Clarksville.
