DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Beryl was located near latitude 27.6 North, longitude 95.6 West. Beryl is moving toward the north-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h). A turn toward the north is expected overnight. On the forecast track, the center of Beryl is expected to make landfall on the middle Texas coast early Monday. Beryl is forecast to turn northeastward and move farther inland over eastern Texas and Arkansas late Monday and Tuesday. Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is expected, and Beryl is forecast to become a hurricane before it reaches the Texas coast early Monday. Significant weakening is expected after landfall. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km) from the center. NOAA buoy 42019 recently reported a sustained wind of 49 mph (79 km/h) and a gust of 56 mph (90 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure is 986 mb (29.12 inches) based on dropsonde data. HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Beryl can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2, WMO header WTNT42 KNHC, and on the NHC website at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT2.shtml. WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected in the hurricane warning area by early Monday. Tropical storm conditions will spread across the warning area overnight. Tropical storm conditions will spread across the tropical storm warning area in south Texas overnight. Tropical storm conditions are expected in the tropical storm warning area along the upper Texas coast early Monday. STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... Port O'Connor, TX to San Luis Pass, TX...4-7 ft Matagorda Bay...4-7 ft San Luis Pass, TX to High Island, TX...4-6 ft Galveston Bay...4-6 ft Mesquite Bay, TX to Port O'Connor, TX...3-5 ft High Island, TX to Sabine Pass, TX...3-5 ft The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to the right of the center, where the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?peakSurge. RAINFALL: Heavy rainfall of 5 to 10 inches with localized amounts of 15 inches is expected across portions of the middle and upper Texas Gulf Coast and eastern Texas through Monday night. Considerable flash and urban flooding as well as minor to isolated major river flooding is expected. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Tropical Storm Beryl, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?ero TORNADOES: A few tornadoes may occur tonight along the middle and upper Texas Coast, and on Monday across parts of east Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. SURF: Swells generated by Beryl are expected to affect eastern Mexico and much of the Gulf Coast of the U.S. during the next day or two. These swells are expected to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
