Tropical Depression 1-E expected to become Tropical Storm Alvin Thursday off Mexico’s coast in Eastern Pacific

The first tropical depression of the season, which formed in the Eastern Pacific, is expected to strengthen into Tropical Storm Alvin on Thursday during what could be a complex year for forecasters around the basin.

Tropical Depression One-E is expected to remain far enough offshore that impacts along Mexico’s coast will be limited to heightened swells and increased rip currents along beaches.

Severe thunderstorm rocks Central Texas with damaging winds, flash flooding

Powerful thunderstorms swept across a large swath of Texas on Wednesday, producing damaging winds, hail and flash flooding that triggered water rescues and left thousands without power.

The Austin Fire Department reported responding to around a dozen water rescues, with most incidents involving people stranded in vehicles or trapped in areas where floodwaters rose rapidly.

Earlier Wednesday, fire officials in San Antonio responded to at least eight water rescue calls as flash flooding swamped the morning commute.

Dangerous heat expected in West, peaking this weekend

An early-season stretch of heat is forecast to evolve Friday, peaking over the weekend across portions of the West.

The FOX Forecast Center said Extreme Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories have already been issued for parts of California, Nevada and Arizona, where temperatures will likely soar into the triple-digits. This includes more than 14 million Americans through Saturday.

If Redding, California, hits above 105 degrees on Friday, it will be the earliest the city has reached that temperature in 17 years (since May 17, 2008, when it hit 106 degrees). This would also be Redding's first 100-degree day of 2025.

Florida dog found chained during hurricane leads to new law during natural disasters

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed several bills into law aimed at cracking down on animal cruelty, including one inspired by a dog left abandoned during Hurricane Milton in 2024.

The measures, named "Trooper’s Law" and "Dexter’s Law," were signed during a ceremony on Wednesday at a dog rescue facility in South Florida.

Trooper’s Law makes it a third-degree felony to restrain and abandon a dog outside during a natural disaster or the preparedness stage of an emergency.
