Hurricane Beryl: Powerful Storm Batters Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula as Category 2 Hurricane, Threatens Texas

Hurricane Beryl, a powerful storm that made landfall in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on June 28, 2023, is currently causing damage with heavy rain and strong winds. The hurricane made landfall as a Category 2 storm with estimated winds of 110 mph.

Beryl has been battering the Yucatan Peninsula, including popular tourist destinations such as Cancun and Cozumel, causing flash flooding and damaging infrastructure. The storm is expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday and could strike northeast Mexico or Texas as a hurricane by early Monday.

The hurricane's wind field includes tropical-storm-force winds (at least 39 mph) and hurricane-force winds (at least 74 mph). Hurricane warnings continue for parts of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, including Cozumel and Cancun. Hurricane watches are in effect for northeast Mexico and South Texas.

Beryl is forecast to bring impacts such as storm surge and high winds along the Texas coast and northeast Mexico. The storm will likely see watches issued later today or tonight along parts of the northeast Mexico and South Texas coast.

The forecast for Beryl has been gradually drifting toward the right (or east) over the last 12-24 hours, increasing its threat of a hurricane landfall in Texas. The storm will emerge in the southwest Gulf of Mexico by early Saturday and is expected to take a northwest curl toward northeastern Mexico or South Texas's Gulf Coast sometime late Sunday night or Monday.

Beryl slams Yucatán Peninsula as hurricane risk grows for Texas

The Fixing Site: A Summary of the Article. Matthew Cappucci, Friday, 05 July 2024 16:12
  • Unique Points
    • Hurricane Beryl made landfall near Cozumel, Mexico, as a Category 2 hurricane.
    • Beryl will probably have regained hurricane status and will be intensifying right up to the point of moving ashore.
    • There is an increasing risk of hurricane-force winds, life-threatening storm surge, and flooding from heavy rainfall in portions of northeastern Mexico and the lower and middle Texas coast late Sunday and Monday.
    • Strong winds toppled trees and some electricity poles, but no one was killed or seriously injured.
    • Authorities rescued several people from flooded homes.
  • Accuracy
    • The storm is expected to strike between Sunday night and Monday along the Texas coast.
    • The hurricane didn’t appear to cause major damage to five-star hotels but pummeled the flimsy homes of poorer residents of coastal communities.
    • Mexican authorities sent nearly 10,000 army, navy, and national guard forces to help victims and patrol rain-slicked streets.
    • As of 11 a.m. Eastern time, the center of Beryl was over the northeast Yucatán Peninsula, about 680 miles east-southeast of Brownsville, Texas.
    • Beryl is forecast to be downgraded to a tropical storm late Friday but could strengthen as it tracks west-northwest through the Gulf of Mexico.
    • A significant influence on the track forecast is a dip in the jet stream over the Central United States, which will try to tug Beryl northward.
    • Interests in northern Mexico or South Texas should closely monitor updates to the forecast as a landfall in the Category 1 or 2 range is most likely, but a major, Category 3 hurricane isn’t entirely impossible if Beryl intensifies faster than expected.
    • The Weather Service office in Brownsville, Tex., is predicting at least 4 to 6 inches of rain in the region and up to 10 inches.
    • Rainfall is not the only hazard that will be associated with Beryl; there is also a high risk of rip currents, storm surge, damaging to destructive coastal wave action including coasting flooding, high surf, and tropical storm force winds. Beryl could bring some weak short-lived tornadoes to the area as well.
