After Beryl hits eastern Texas with torrential rains and strong winds, it will continue to move across the eastern half of the United States over the next few days.

Monday: Several hours after making landfall in Matagorda, Texas, the storm began to weaken. Winds are expected to decrease to a tropical storm around noon as its center passes near Houston.

The storm is producing torrential rainfall of 3 to 8 inches, with up to 15 inches in some isolated areas. Due to the compact size of the storm, the heaviest rainfall is expected to remain fairly limited. Exactly where the heaviest rain will fall depends on Beryl’s exact track. The storm is expected to be mostly out of Texas by Tuesday morning.

Tuesday:As the storm moves toward Arkansas, it will likely have weakened even more and may have become a post-tropical storm at this point. This means it will look more like a typical storm system that sweeps across the United States at this time of year.

The storm’s plume of tropical moisture could cause flash flooding from Arkansas to Indiana throughout the day, with two to four inches of precipitation expected and local maximums of more than eight inches possible.

Wednesday: The remnants of Beryl will continue to track through Indiana and bring rain to the region. There is considerable uncertainty about the track of the low pressure system associated with Beryl, but there is increasing evidence that a large area will be impacted by heavy rain. There is at least a risk of excessive rain from northern Indiana to New Hampshire.

Thursday and beyond: The remnants of Beryl will combine with other weather ingredients and could produce heavy rain and the potential for flash flooding on the east coast later this week.

Showers and thunderstorms could persist through the weekend in parts of the East, but forecasters at the Weather Prediction Center said the rainfall amounts do not appear to be as concentrated or heavy.
