National Weather Headlines:

Tropical Storm Beta has formed in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. The storm will make landfall along the Texas Coast Monday afternoon and will continue inland through the first half of the week. Beta will eventually be swept westward and further inland later in the week as a Post-Tropical Depression.

Wildfires in the western United States continue to burn out of control, creating unhealthy air quality and extensive plumes of smoke for much of the West. These large amounts of smoke have reached the upper levels of the atmosphere, creating hazy conditions across a majority of the lower 48 United States.
