The cold front that's moving over the Miami Valley on Tuesday is impacting Hurricane Erin's path
Hurricane Erin, the 2025 season's first major hurricane, strengthened quickly into a Category 5 storm over the past several days, but as of Tuesday afternoon has encountered some dry air and has weakened into a Category 2 storm with winds of 105 miles per hour.

This is due to the steering mechanisms in the atmosphere. The subtropical ridge is a large area of high pressure in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. That acts like a blocking wall that the hurricane doesn't want to enter; instead, it moves around it. Luckily, the subtropical ridge is in a weakened state and is allowing the storm to recurve before hitting land. The other component not letting Hurricane Erin make landfall in the United States is the cold front that's moving over us. This acts like a separate wall that pushes Erin out to see and helps recurve it to the north. There will still be impacts across the United States. Dangerous rip currents and rough seas will be up and down the entire East Coast as Erin moves on by. Even tropical storm force watches and warnings are in effect from coastal Maryland down through most of the North Carolina coast. This is for wind gusts upwards of 60 miles per hour and seas as high as 23 feet across coastal waters, according to the National Weather Service. We will not see any impacts here in the Miami Valley from Hurricane Erin. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

Brio abruptly closes area's only location; Neighbors worried for shopping center's future
A local upscale Italian restaurant has closed its doors for good. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] As reported on News Center 7 at 11:00, the Brio restaurant located at The Greene is now permanently closed. TRENDING STORIES: Local school supply store announces upcoming closure, offers discounts Motorcyclist seriously injured after crash in Montgomery County Child hospitalized after near-drowning in Dayton As previously reported by News Center 7, when you call a number associated with the restaurant, a voice message indicates the location is permanently closed and thanks customers for their patronage. Some Beavercreek residents said they couldn't believe the restaurant closed down. 'We went to a wedding rehearsal dinner at Brio right back here. We were surprised when it was closed,' Kathy Mason said. The restaurant is described as a premier Tuscan-inspired destination serving authentic, northern Italian cuisine, luxury wines & cocktails. 'I think the Brio restaurant going out will hurt this little area right here,' Ron Mason said. Ron and Kathy said they have been coming to The Greene for more than 20 years, but they've noticed a trend recently. 'There's a lot of businesses that will come in and take the place of another restaurant that didn't make it or something. They moved out for some reason, but I don't really know what it is,' Ron said. As previously reported by News Center 7, The Greene was at risk of foreclosure. The Masons said they haven't gone to the shopping center that much over the past five years becuase of the changes they've seen. 'When they had more entertainment, you know, music a little more regularly on the weekends. But we still come every now and then,' Kathy said. 'This place used to be just packed with other people, you know, bringing their lawn chairs and eating and watching the music,' Ron said. They fear fewer activities at The Greene could contribute to a revolving door of businesses. 'I think the less foot traffic means less business. And there's less people, less buyers, less money to be spent,' Ron said. 'Like this is Monday night. And so there's not too many people out there,' Kathy said. The next closest Brio resturant is located at 7600 Gibson Street at Liberty Center in Butler County. News Center 7 will continue to follow this story.

Improved new Honda Amaze offers more without breaking the bank
New third generation Amaze small sedan has a sub-R300 000 price tag, but also more equipment in an overall package better devised than before. All-new third generation Amaze has been restyled to appear more substantial and better looking than before. Images: Charl Bosch With the Jazz, subsequently renamed Fit, having moved upmarket and the Brio long since discontinued, the Indian-made Amaze has been Honda's best-seller in South Africa in a somewhat ironic turn of events. Against the industry norm Although originally spun-off of the Brio as the small sedan equivalent, the Amaze, with the unveiling of the second generation in 2018, became a model of its own and also the replacement for the hatch that bowed-out with the original generation. ALSO READ: Wraps officially come off elevate(d) all-new Honda Amaze Against the trend of hatches being favoured above sedans when taking the importance of small crossovers and SUVs out of the equation, the third generation Amaze comes at a critical time for a brand that has fallen far from its previous highs against the backdrop of larger, comparatively price and yes, SUVs from China. As a way of combatting this, in addition to assuring its stay in South Africa despite speculation of its future, Honda has increased the new Amaze's sticker prices by between R1 300 to R2 000 over its predecessor despite it being a completely new product with significantly higher levels of specification. Largely new Described at the time of its unveiling last year as a package that 'outclasses' its rivals, the Rajasthan-assembled Amaze has been made to look more compact than its predecessor, with traces of its sibling, the Elevate SUV, and the segment-up Ballade being evident on the design front. Based on the same platform as the Elevate, and still adhering to India's sub-four regulations, the official launch in a cold, wet and miserable Cape Town this week came with a series of welcome improvements over the old Amaze, but disparages on one key front unlikely to go away soon. Depicted Comfort tops the Amaze range. Styled in accordance with a philosophy Honda calls progressive, protective and sporty, the Amaze range once again spans three models and two trim levels, of which two were sampled at the event. Up front, the familiarly continues with the retention of the normally aspirated 1.2-litre petrol engine that channels 66kW/110Nm to the front wheels via either a five-speed manual gearbox or a CVT. In both instances, the transmissions have undergone revisions to be smoother while also helping with driveability. Much better on the eye A visual improvement over the old Amaze, the Elevate-style front facia has seen the standard incorporation of LED headlights across all three variants, as well as 15-inch alloy wheels and a black honeycomb pattern for new grille. Depicted Trend starts the Amaze range off. At the rear, an almost coupe-style sloping roof design has been opted for and although similar to the old Amaze in length, wheelbase and height, width has been increased by 38 mm to 1 733 mm. Somewhat curiously, this has seen boot space drop from 420-litres to 416-litres, which, still makes the Amaze more practical than its immediate rivals, the Hyundai Grand i10 Sedan (402 L) and the equally new Suzuki DZire (382 L). Still capacious boot now accommodates 416-litres as opposed to the previous Amaze's 420-litres. In terms of colours, five hues are available; Platinum White Pearl, Obsidian Blue Pearl, Meteoroid Grey Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic and Radiant Red Metallic. Massive improvement inside Inside, the Amaze's biggest attribute is the Elevate-derived interior that appears more modern but still functional. Unlike in its home market, all South African-market models get a black interior with black fabric seats as standard – the tacky previous black-and-brown imitation leather option having been dropped entirely. Interior has been redesigned to be more modern, but also ergonomically-sound and neat. Feeling better in terms of fit-and-finish with the odd scratchy surface still present – not surprising given the Amaze's price – the cabin remains ergonomically in-check with physical buttons and a straightforward to use new eight-inch freestanding infotainment system. A standard fixture across the entire range as well, the system incorporates wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and is contrasted by an equally seven-inch digital instrument cluster, also on all variants. Spec box In terms of specification, the Trend, which only comes with the manual gearbox, starts the range off by incorporating not only the already mentioned features, but also the following: Trend is solely offered with the five-speed manual gearbox. Neither trim grade offers cruise control. four-speaker sound system; front and rear armrests; dual USB ports; automatic air conditioning with rear vents; electric windows and mirrors; multi-function steering wheel; height adjustable front seats; keyless entry; push-button start Taking care of safety are dual front airbags, a reverse camera, rear parking sensors, Vehicle Stability Control, Hill Start Assist and ABS as well as EBD. Standard across all models is a new, plain and simple to use eight-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Up next, the flagship Comfort replaces the wire-effect wheels with dual-tone alloys, still of 15-inches, while also gaining LED fog lamps, a wireless smartphone charger, Auto High Beam Assist headlights, a six-speaker sound system and side as well as curtain airbags for a total of a six. The only derivative to have the option of the manual or CVT, opting for latter sees the added inclusion of paddle shifters as well as a segment first Remote Engine Start. More than likely as a result of costs, neither Trend or Comfort receives cruise control, or indeed Honda's Sensing array of driver assistance systems offered in India, these being the LaneWatch side camera, Lane Departure Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking, Lane Keep Assist and Lead Vehicle Alert to name a few. On the move On the move, the first leg of the route from the V&A Waterfront along the coast passed Muizenburg, Kalk Bay and then slightly more inland to eventually end at Hout Bay, involved the Trend. Given the appalling conditions that lashed the Mother City, progress was anything but swift, yet the Amaze felt composed and the ride forgiving given its suspension tuning. That being said, the ride didn't 'hit through' when tasked with lesser well maintained sections of the route, while stability wasn't adversary affected by the Cape doctor. Compared to the Comfort, the Trend has different 15-inch alloys and does without the LED fog lamps at the front. Despite being at sea level, the normally aspirated petrol still isn't a ball of fire and in typical Honda fashion, requires revving until the stereotypical 'VTEC kicks in' power band is reached. A free-revving unit nonetheless, the engine's combination with the five-speed manual works a treat as the thin lever connects to a sweet shifting 'box that comes with a light clutch adjusted almost perfectly to avoid stalls. Guaranteed to be used often to keep the engine on the boil, especially when driven at altitude where the Amaze will feel sluggish, the manual is, still, in stark contrast to the 'improved' CVT. All variants as fitted with black fabric seats as part of the all-black interior. Sampled in the Comfort on the return run back to Cape Town, the unit comes as a welcome improvement over the old Amaze, but still drones in typical fashion to the point of becoming downright irritating and without any go under hard acceleration. While likely to be popular option, and indeed relatively smooth when pottering about at town, the simulated ratio transmission still isn't ideally suited to a vehicle that will struggle even more at the Highveld with a fully loaded boot, four passengers and the air conditioning switched on. Conclusion Honda's approach of sticking with the Amaze while struggling in other facets of the market might seem like a no-brainer, yet the small sedan's offset of 10 000 units in South Africa the original Brio Amaze speaks the loudest of where the brand continues to place its core focus. An offering made sweeter by more specification, better styling and descent dynamics for not a lot more than its predecessor only adds to a commendable package spoiled mainly by its self-shifting transmission option. Price Included with each Amaze's price is a five-year/200 000 km warranty and a four-year/60 000 km service plan.
