Many Houstonians are still without power after Hurricane Beryl on Monday. With limited ways to cool down, Hilary Fairbrother, a professor of Emergency Medicine at UT Health Houston, has ways to stay safe.

Beryl is now a Post-Tropical cyclone near St. Louis with 30 mph winds bringing a Flood and tornado risk to parts of the Midwest and Great Lakes area. There are still over 1 million people without power in the Houston area from strong winds that Beryl produced yesterday. The good news is that there are no other tropical cyclones expected to form in the Atlantic basin over the next few days

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 over the next few days.

Damage and clean-up efforts are widespread throughout Houston and FOX 26's Jonathan Mejia spoke to residents who are dealing with the impact and heat.

Beryl is gone and is now a tropical depression zipping through Arkansas and headed to the Great Lakes, so no more high winds or heavy rain today. The threat today is heat. Normally a normal, hot summer day wouldn't be a problem, but with millions still without power, high temperatures in the 90s and heat index values close to 105, everyone will need to find air conditioning today and please check on those who are particularly vulnerable - the elderly or disabled. A heat advisory is in effect for today and tonight and only isolated rain is possible today mostly near the coast. Tomorrow will still be muggy, but with a slightly better chance for a few storms. Late this week, we'll have a better chance for showers and a few storms to help cool the temperatures a little.As of today, there are no organized tropical systems expected across the Caribbean Sea or Gulf of Mexico for a while.

Beryl made landfall as a Category one hurricane around 4am near Matagorda. Beryl brought 80+ mph winds to parts of Houston and surrounding areas and 6-15" of rain to parts of the area. Beryl is now racing away moving through the Ark-La-Tex region. Our attention now turns to lots of people still without power and the building heat. A HEAT Advisory is in effect for Houston Tuesday with heat index values near 105 expected. Be extra careful as many still don't have working AC. Rain chances will be low Tuesday but will increase as we go through the week. So make sure your roof is protected if you sustained damage.
