  • A heat advisory is in effect for the entire Susquehanna Valley for most of the counties through tomorrow.
  • Beryl is merging with an incoming cold front, which will start to bring shower chances. There’s a slim chance of a spotty shower today, but as Beryl merges with the front, it starts to work its way to the north and east could see some isolated showers and storms.
  • Heavy rain is currently occurring on the east side of Texas along the Louisiana state line.
  • Hot and humid conditions are back early next week with more storm chances. Highs will hover in the low to mid 90s.
  • Remnant moisture from Tropical System Beryl will lift into the Tennessee Valley and continue into Ohio, bringing hit or miss storms the rest of the week. It will feel tropical like too with dew points well into the 70s.
  • Temperatures will finally start to drop back down closer to seasonable averages, but it’s still going to feel very humid out there with that tropical moisture overhead. Notice very little relief from that high heat and humidity.
  • The heat wave continues one more day with low 90s Wednesday before temperatures fall back to the 80s.
  • Tropical Storm Beryl will weaken back down to a tropical depression and then head towards the Great Lakes on Wednesday into Thursday.
