Sunday’s Forecast:
Sunday morning is cloudy with an isolated shower chance. In the afternoon and evening, tropical rain bands begin to push into the coast, with more prolonged and widespread rain on Monday once Beryl makes its way inland. Winds turn breezy and eventually gusty as Beryl approaches the Texas coast.
There is a chance for severe thunderstorms that could lead to tornadoes. Be sure you have a way to get alerts.
The Storm Tracker 2 team is keeping a close watch here on Beryl’s latest movement.
Hurricane Beryl’s Official Track:
As of Sunday night, Beryl is a tropical storm with 60 mph winds.
The land interaction in the Yucatán Peninsula on Friday helped weaken Beryl. However, it’s now in an area that some have called “a buffet of warm water” and no land, which may intensify the storm from a tropical storm to a category 1 hurricane before making landfall again.
Landfall will likely be near Matagorda Bay, Seadrift, or Port Lavaca early Monday morning. Beryl will continue to move inland and weaken as it pushes northeast.
Right now, a Hurricane and Tropical Storm watches and warnings are in effect along the Texas coast. There is also a Storm Surge watch has been issued for parts of the Texas coast.
We’re watching and tracking the chance for life threatening winds of 75- 120 mph winds and the chance for storm surge of 3-5 feet.
There is a flood risk on Monday for all of SE Texas - we may see 5″ of rain by Monday with locations west of Houston potentially picking up closer to 10″.
10 Day Forecast:
Beryl will move out quickly by Tuesday afternoon SE Texas starts to see relief from tropical downpours and winds. The rest of the week expect daily showers and storms until we settle into a drier, sunnier pattern going into the weekend.
