Hurricane Watch Issued for Texas Due to Tropical Storm Beryl

Summary:

Texas – The National Hurricane Center has issued a Hurricane Watch for Texas due to Tropical Storm Beryl in the Gulf. This means hurricane conditions are possible within the next 48 hours, which could complicate or endanger preparations. Currently, Beryl is not expected to be a major storm, but it may bring gusty winds, coastal flooding, and heavy rain from late Sunday through Tuesday. Although the storm is small, which may mitigate some impacts, heavy rain is still a significant risk for much of Texas, including Houston, early next week.
