Tropical Storm Beryl Sets Sights on Texas Coast

Tropical Storm Beryl has shifted its trajectory towards the Texas Coast, prompting the National Hurricane Center to issue a Hurricane Watch for the region. Originating from the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, Beryl is now making its way across the Gulf of Mexico, intensifying concerns along the Southeast and Central U.S.

As the storm progresses northwestward, experts predict its arrival on the Texas Gulf Coast by early Monday. With varying wind speeds and potential landfall intensification, authorities warn residents of coastal areas, including Brownsville and Corpus Christi, to prepare for the storm’s impact.

Anticipated threats include gusty winds, severe coastal flooding, and heavy rainfall starting late Sunday and extending into Tuesday. The Hurricane Watch signifies the potential for hurricane conditions within the specified area, urging caution and readiness among Texans.

Although Beryl’s current size may alleviate the severity of its effects, the risk of heavy rain bands looms over regions like Houston, with uncertainties on exact locations of potential deluge. Coastal towns and cities are urged to take necessary precautions as the storm approaches.
