-- Tropical Storm Beryl is gaining strength as it lumbers toward the south Texas coast, and is expected to become a hurricane again before it makes landfall early Monday morning.The storm had top speeds of about 65 miles per hour, according a US National Hurricane Center forecast at 11 a.m. in New York. A hurricane warning is in effect for the Texas coast from Baffin Bay northward to San Luis Pass.
“The environment is allowing it to strengthen,” said Frank Pereira, a meteorologist with the US Weather Prediction Center. “The concern now as it makes landfall across the state is going to be the storm surge.” “Beryl is a determined storm, and incoming winds and potential flooding will pose a serious threat,” Patrick said in a statement.Tropical Storm Beryl was moving over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula Friday, but is expected to impact parts of south Texas later this weekend.
TULUM, Mexico — Beryl moved into the the Gulf of Mexico Friday and took aim at the south Texas coast after battering Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Texas officials issued disaster declarations and urge coastal residents to prepare as the storm headed their way.
