US--MEASLES OUTBREAK-EXPLAINER
The US has 1,001 measles cases and 11 states with active outbreaks
SUMMARY: The U.S. is up to 1,001 confirmed measles cases. Texas continues to confirm fewer cases in what’s now a nearly four-month outbreak, though the state still accounts for the vast majority of cases in the U.S. The Texas outbreak also spread measles to New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas. Three people, including two elementary school-aged children, have died from measles-related illnesses this year. Other states with active outbreaks include Indiana, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. Measles is caused by a highly contagious virus that’s airborne. It is preventable through vaccines, and has been considered eliminated from the U.S. since 2000.

US--EXTREME HEAT
Extreme heat will make it feel more like August than May for Texas, parts of southeastern US
SUMMARY: Sweltering heat more commonly seen in the throes of summer than in the spring is making an unwelcome visit to Texas and other parts of the southeastern United States this week, prompting forecasters to tell residents to use caution outside. Cameron Self, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s office in the Houston and Galveston area, said Tuesday the high temperatures over the next six to 10 days will make it feel more like August than May. Self says a very strong ridge of high pressure over the south-central United States that is centered over the Gulf of Mexico is responsible for the extreme heat. Parts of Texas and Florida are expected to experience the highest temperatures.
