Beryl has restrengthened into a hurricane, hours ahead of landfall along the Texas coastline. Models are in agreement that landfall will occur early tomorrow morning (likely before sunrise) somewhere east of Corpus Christi and west of Galveston. 

While Beryl may try and strengthen more, it is not expected to become a major hurricane before pushing onshore. Beryl will then weaken into a tropical depression before leaving the state of Texas. From that point, heavy rain and gusty winds will drift up the Mississippi River valley and into the Midwest.

Hurricane and tropical storm warnings remain in effect as tropical storm-force winds have already arrived along the Texas coastline. 

Storm surge remains a large hazard with Beryl. In the 5pm advisory, the National Hurricane Center has increased its forecast for expected storm surge. 

This does not account for the additional rainfall that will add to that total. Isolated rainfall totals may reach or exceed 10 inches over the next few days in some spots.

Additionally, Beryl’s rain bands may form storms capable of producing tornadoes. That tornado threat will be maximized on the right side of the storm’s center. A tornado watch is now in effect for this region of the Upper Texas Coast.

Beryl is still at tropical storm strength Sunday morning, with sustained winds of 60mph, as it spins just off the coast of south Texas.

Beryl is still on track to strengthen back into a hurricane just ahead of landfall early Monday morning. We’re looking at around 2:00 AM for landfall, likely somewhere between Corpus Christi and Sargent.

Storm Surge Watches and Warnings extend across the entire coast of Texas, where dangerous surge is expected Monday. The most extreme will be across the central coast, where 4-6′ of surge is forecast.

The storm will pack a punch even for inland areas, where heavy rainfall and tropical-storm-force winds are expected across east Texas.

After landfall, Beryl will start curving NE as it weakens through the middle of the week. Still this storm could be bringing tropical rains to other states as it skirts by the Tennessee Valley and into the Midwest.
