Tropical Storm Beryl: Texas Braces for Hurricane Landfall, Potential Flooding and Wind

Tropical Storm Beryl, which emerged over the Gulf of Mexico on July 6, 2024, is expected to intensify into a hurricane and make landfall along the Texas coast. The storm has already caused significant damage in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and has resulted in several deaths. In response to the approaching storm, officials in Texas have issued disaster declarations and urged coastal residents to prepare for potential flooding, heavy rain, and wind.

According to multiple sources including KPRC Click2Houston and AP News, Beryl is expected to make landfall along the Texas coast between Sunday night and Monday. Storm Surge Watches have been issued for portions of Brazoria County and High Island in Galveston County. Voluntary evacuations are already underway in Matagorda County.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center predicts that Beryl will regain hurricane strength before making landfall, with a dangerous storm surge of up to 5 feet expected to impact a wide swath of the Texas coast by Sunday night into Monday. Total rainfall amounts as much as 10-15 inches are threatened, leading to flash and urban flooding.

Texas officials have urged residents along the coast to take precautions and prepare for potential impacts from Beryl. Disaster declarations have been issued in several counties, including those along the lower and middle Texas coast. The governors of Texas and Louisiana, Dan Patrick and John Bel Edwards respectively, have also declared states of emergency.

Beryl is the earliest storm to develop into a Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic this year. It caused at least 11 deaths as it passed through the Caribbean islands earlier in the week before making landfall on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula as a Category 2 hurricane.

Stay tuned for updates on Tropical Storm Beryl and its potential impacts on Texas.
