When it comes to extreme weather, people generally look to America's hurricane- or earthquake-prone coasts and say that’s where the danger is. But not always.
Based on MSD data (covering only Missouri), for the area around Benton Park, as well as the area east of Telegraph Road at I-255, Tuesday's rain was a 100-year event.
Heat indexes could reach near 110 on Sunday and Monday, with the possibility of that extreme heat lasting into Tuesday before a mid-week cooldown.
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.
