The Hurricane Watch in Texas has been extended eastward to San Luis Pass. The Storm Surge Watch in Texas has been extended eastward to High Island. SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Hurricane Watch is in effect for... * The Texas coast from the mouth of the Rio Grande northward to San Luis Pass * The northeastern coast from mainland Mexico from Barra el Mezquital to the mouth of the Rio Grande A Storm Surge Watch is in effect for... * The Texas coast from the mouth of the Rio Grande northward to High Island A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area. A watch is typically issued 48 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. A Storm Surge Watch means there is a possibility of life- threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline, in the indicated locations during the next 48 hours. For a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov. Interests elsewhere in northeastern Mexico and the Texas coast should closely monitor the progress of Beryl. Additional watches and warnings will likely be issued for portions of this area on Saturday. For storm information specific to your area in the United States, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Beryl was located near latitude 21.7 North, longitude 90.2 West. Beryl is moving toward the west-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue through early Saturday. A turn to the northwest is expected later on Saturday, with the center of Beryl expected to approach the Texas coast by late Sunday. Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected through early Saturday. Steady strengthening seems likely later in the weekend, and Beryl is forecast to become a hurricane before it reaches the coast. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km) from the center. An observations in Isla Perez has recently reported a sustained wind of 43 mph (69 km/h) with a gust of 57 mph (92 km/h). The minimum central pressure is 996 mb (29.42 inches) estimated from Air Force Hurricane Hunter observations. 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 possible in the hurricane watch area along the Gulf coast of northeastern Mexico and Texas by early Monday, with tropical storm conditions beginning Sunday night. 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... Baffin Bay, TX to San Luis Pass, TX...3-5 ft Corpus Christi Bay...3-5 ft Matagorda Bay...3-5 ft Mouth of the Rio Grande, TX to Baffin Bay, TX...2-4 ft San Luis Pass, TX to High Island, TX...2-4 ft Galveston Bay...2-4 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. Storm surge could raise water levels by as much as 1 to 3 feet above ground level in areas of onshore winds along the west and north coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula in the tropical storm warning area. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. RAINFALL: Heavy rainfall of 5 to 10 inches with localized amounts of 15 inches is expected across portions of the Texas Gulf Coast and eastern Texas beginning late Sunday through midweek. This rainfall is likely to produce areas of flash and urban flooding. Through early Saturday morning, Beryl is expected to produce rainfall totals of 4 to 6 inches, with localized amounts of 10 inches, across the Yucatan Peninsula, with scattered instances of flash flooding anticipated. 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 SURF: Large swells generated by Beryl are currently impacting portions of the coast the Yucatan Peninsula. The swells are expected to reach eastern Mexico and much of the Gulf Coast of the U.S. by early Saturday. These swells are expected to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
