 Tropical Storm Beryl is expected to regain hurricane strength as it moves toward Texas over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A hurricane warning is in effect for a long stretch of the Texas coast. And that long-running heat wave is baking much of the country with record-breaking temperatures, and forecasters say more records could fall this week, from the Pacific Northwest to the mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast. The heat is presenting a challenge to crews fighting a series of wildfires in California.
