The Category 2 storm made landfall near Tulum, Mexico, on Friday, and meteorologists anticipate it will hit Texas by Monday.
Weather experts are voicing concerns about the forecast track of Hurricane Beryl as the storm nears the United States.
Beryl strengthened into a hurricane last Saturday, becoming June’s easternmost major hurricane in the Atlantic. The storm underwent rapid intensification and became a Category 4 hurricane as soon as its wind speeds reached 130 miles per hour. It has killed at least nine people, according to The Associated Press.
The system temporarily weakened to a Category 3 before strengthening again, with maximum winds documented at 150 mph when it made landfall in the Windward Islands on Monday morning.
At one point, Hurricane Beryl was categorized as a Category 5, but it has since weakened again to a Category 2, with wind speeds at 110 mph as of Friday morning, when the storm made landfall near Tulum, Mexico.
