Former Hurricane Beryl, now a tropical depression over Arkansas, will continue to move northeast across the central United States and into the Great Lakes. By the time the storm arrives in New England, it will have merged with a northern stream trough. This will allow the soaking rain aspect of the storm to remain in place. The storm will slow down as it approaches New England thanks to a blocking high to our east.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
