Hurricane Warnings have been issued for parts of the Texas coast as Tropical Storm Beryl approaches Saturday.
– We have been watching the changes to the forecast over the last few days to see what the impacts will be for the Houston area.It is located about 385 miles southeast of Corpus Christi and is moving northwest at 13 mph. The minimum pressure is down to 997 mb.
Models are showing Beryl will make landfall somewhere between Rockport and Matagorda Bay early Monday. There is some question as to how strong it will be when it makes landfall and most models are predicting a category 1 storm with winds close to 90 mph. However, I would prepare for Beryl to possibly be as strong as a category 2 or maybe a category 3 at landfall as warmer water temperatures could mean this storm could intensify quickly.
The Houston area will also see a lot of rain from Beryl. The good news is by all indications, Beryl will be moving at a decent pace and it doesn’t look like we will have to deal with the storm stalling. So while we will see rain and potentially a lot of it, it doesn’t look like Beryl will stall.Because of the anticipated heavy rainfall from Beryl, a Flood Watch has been issued from the Houston area westward. The watch expires Tuesday at 7 a.m.
As with any tropical system making landfall, isolated tornadoes will be a concern starting Sunday as Beryl’s outer bands start to approach the Texas coast. This will have to be watched carefully to see just how big the tornado threat ends up being.Based on the latest data, Beryl looks to make landfall between Rockport and Matagorda Bay. Areas as far north as Freeport and Galveston should keep an eye on it in case trends start to move it north again.
