FOX Weather continues to keep a close eye on what is now a trio of tropical disturbances in the Atlantic Ocean. Invest 94L is closest to the U.S. and has a low chance of development. Invest 95L is much farther away and has a high chance of development. And now a new disturbance just east of 95L has caught the attention of the NHC. Whichever becomes a tropical storm first would get the name Beryl.

Powerful storms rumbled across the northern Plains on Thursday. Now, the severe weather takes aim at the central U.S. on Friday. The worst storms are expected in a swath that stretches from Minnesota to Colorado and includes cities such as Des Moines, Kansas City, Omaha and Wichita.

A 100-foot-wide sinkhole opened up under a park in Illinois this week and took out a soccer field.

Extreme heat makes miserable and dangerous job worse for India's garbage pickers
India generates at least 62 million tons of waste annually, according to federal government records, and some of its landfills are literal mountains of garbage, like the Bhalswa landfill in New Delhi. And while a 2016 law made it mandatory to segregate waste so that hazardous material doesn't make its way to landfills, the law has been poorly enforced, adding to the risk of waste pickers. It is a potentially toxic miasma fed by the plastics, industrial, medical and other waste generated by millions living in the capital New Delhi and the teeming suburban cities. But a handful of waste pickers ignore both the fumes and suffocating heat to sort through the rubbish, seeking anything they can sell to earn a living. (AP video by Piyush Nagpal)
