For the first time since Wednesday, Beryl’s track remained consistent. There are no major changes to landfall forecast or strength.

A hurricane warning and storm surge warning are in effect. Life threatening winds as well as storm surge will happen. Please take these warnings seriously!
When the winds arrive and how strong they’ll be where you live:
Tropical storm forces winds arrive at 2pm Sunday along the coast. These winds will get stronger with Beryl’s arrival Monday morning. Tropical storm winds start at 39 mph and go up to 74. If you are inland the below graphics show how strong the winds will be where you live.
Flood watch for most of SE Texas:
The rain we received Saturday was not from Beryl but from summertime storms. Be prepared for outer rain bands to move in Sunday afternoon and bring tropical rains from Beryl. 5-10″ of rain is possible causing street, bayou, stream and creek flooding. Please adjust your plans late Sunday and Monday accounting for this threat.
Daji and I will be in Sunday afternoon getting you through the early part of the storm. Please tune in to KPRC 2 to the latest information on Beryl.
