Tropical Storm Beryl could strengthen to a hurricane before making landfall in Texas soon. Here are three things you need to know.
Tropical Storm Beryl is right on the doorstep of the United States. It is already appearing on U.S. weather radar and has been quite the persistent storm as it tracked across the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. The storm impacted the Caribbean region as a major hurricane. Before Beryl, we had not seen a Category 5 storm this early in the hurricane season. It ultimately moved into the Yucatan region of Mexico where it weakened to a tropical storm due to wind shear, land interactions, and a heavy dose of dry air. Beryl is now over the Gulf of Mexico and is within a day (as of the time of writing Sunday morning) of making landfall in the U.S. Here are three things you need to know right now.
Beryl Is Going To Make Landfall In Texas
According to the 7 am CDT advisory from the National Hurricane Center, Beryl has sustained winds of 60 mph and is moving towards the northwest at 12 mph. The storm is ultimately expected to make a more northward turn and make landfall somewhere between Corpus Christi and Galveston Bay. This is also a good time to remind readers that the cone conveys that the center of the storm tracks within it about sixty six percent of the time.
