Hurricane Beryl and its consequences in Texas

Will Beryl be able to make it to Texas?

The answer is yes. But we are watching one major element. The high pressure area in northern Florida will largely determine the trajectory in the Gulf of Mexico. With the strength of the high pressure current, Beryl should have no problem getting close to it and steering it north. If the high pressure weakens a bit, Beryl will miss its turn and head west. Regardless of the path Beryl takes, the risk of a rip current will be high starting Saturday!

Tips for escaping a rip current.
Landing is significant for impacts on Houston:

We’ll have a better idea of ​​Beryl’s extraction path Wednesday night. Right now, I’m betting on a direct hit over extreme southern Texas or northeastern Mexico. If that trajectory holds, the heaviest rain will fall west of Houston. It’s also possible that Beryl will regain hurricane strength as it approaches land.

10 day forecast:

The closer Beryl gets to southeast Texas, the more rain we’ll get. The further south Beryl moves, the lower our impacts will be. Right now, I’m betting on a 60% chance of tropical rain Sunday and Monday, with a chance of thunderstorms Saturday and Tuesday as well.
