Beryl continues to move to the northwest at around 13 mph over the western Gulf waters this evening and will gradually turn more northward as it approaches the Middle Texas Coast Sunday into Sunday night. Beryl is still forecast to strengthen to hurricane status before making landfall Monday morning. Guidance continues to be rather consistent with Beryl on track to most likely make landfall somewhere between Corpus Christi Bay to Sargent, TX. Beryl is relatively compact in size with tropical storm force winds currently extending up to 125 miles northeast from its center.
The forecast for Beryl remains on track and there we no significant changes with the latest update. Although Beryl still looks disorganized on Satellite, Hurricane hunter aircraft still measured a 60 mph tropical storm. Beryl is still encountering upper-level wind shear. This shear is expected to diminish on Sunday allowing for strengthening up until landfall. Beryl is still expected to reach Category 1 hurricane status and could get a little stronger. Beryl is expected to be a tightly compact storm with the greatest impacts near and to the east of the center. The outskirts of the storm will most likely begin impacting the mid Texas coast Sunday evening, with conditions deteriorating through the night and into Monday.
