WATCH: Webcams in Texas, Louisiana offer views of Laura

Laura, which was upgraded Wednesday to a Category 4 hurricane, is expected to make landfall near the southwestern border of Louisiana and the southeastern border of Texas sometime late Wednesday or early Thursday. Hundreds of thousands of residents have been asked to evacuate their homes, as forecasters expect a storm surge of up to 20 feet, which they consider “unsurvivable.” The webcams listed below are just a few that may have a view of the changing weather conditions ahead of, and during, the storm.

Hot, humid week ahead for DC area with severe storm risk

A dangerous heat wave will grip the D.C. area through Thursday, with highs in the mid to upper 90s and heat index values between 100 and 105. Hot and humid conditions are expected through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service, which said to expect daily thunderstorm chances and a risk of severe thunderstorms. 7News Meteorologist Eileen Whelan told WTOP that most of Tuesday will stay dry, but a few late-day thunderstorms are possible, especially north and east of D.C. as storms drift south from Pennsylvania. Any storm could produce damaging wind gusts and hail, but Whelan reiterated "storm chances are low" on Tuesday. Due to a lack of air conditioning, Parkdale High School in Riverdale, Maryland, closed early at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Prince George's County Public Schools said in a social media post.
