Tuesday’s Forecast:
Monday was our hottest day of the year with Houston reaching 99°. I don’t see much of a change tomorrow. Feels like temperatures climb between 104°-108°. The heat advisory only includes our northern and eastern cities.
There is a heat advisory in place for areas NE of Houston from noon through 7PM Tuesday. It can feel up to 109 degrees with the humidity.
Tracking hurricane Beryl:
At 10:00 PM Monday Beryl became a monster category 5 Hurricane. This is the earliest a cat 5 has formed since Emily July 17, 2005. Beryl is pushing to the WNW through the Caribbean.
Can Beryl make it to Texas?
There are two major factors with Beryl making a track toward Texas. The first thing I’m watching is where Beryl will be Wednesday afternoon. If Beryl makes a direct hit on Jamaica that shows it following a northern path. That northern path makes it easier for Beryl to keep moving north.
The second key is the weather pattern next week. A ridge of high pressure builds over the western United States. The high near Texas today, weakens and shifts slightly east. This creates a weakness near South Texas. A trough in the state could pull Beryl north. The only way this happens is if Beryl is close enough to get picked up. But my point is there is a chance.
We could start feeling the effect of Beryl Sunday. The farther north it tracks the more rain we’ll get and storms from tropical moisture could start as early as Sunday.
