VIDEO ABOVE: Watch the Storm Chaser live in Matagorda as Beryl’s intense eyewall moves onshore
HIGHLIGHTS:
- With Beryl’s track now passing east of San Antonio, little-to-no rain is expected near the Alamo City
- As of Sunday night, Beryl has restrengthened into a Category 1 hurricane
- Beryl is slated to make landfall with damaging wind gusts overnight Sunday into Monday morning near Matagorda Bay, with storm surge risk throughout the Texas Coast
- Rainfall will vary SIGNIFICANTLY across Texas. Flooding rains favor those from Houston to Texarkana, hardly any rain west of I-35
- Still, times of gusty winds are still possible throughout the day Monday, especially along and east of I-35
CHANGES IN BERYL’S PATH:
Beryl’s path continues to shift east, now likely making landfall farther up shore near the Port O’Connor/Palacios/Matagorda area. Landfall for Beryl has also sped up, and is expected overnight Sunday/before sunrise Monday.
The continued shift east keeps San Antonio on the drier side of the storm, resulting in little to no rain for the Alamo City. Flooding rains of 6-10 inches are possible along the north central Texas Coast, with 4-8 inches from Houston to Texarkana.
BERYL’S IMPACT FOR SAN ANTONIO METRO MONDAY, July 8:
This includes San Antonio, Boerne, Canyon Lake, New Braunfels, Seguin, Floresville and all points west...
- RAIN: Widespread, only a trace of rain is expected. Some lucky areas will get a shower from the outer bands of Beryl, resulting in up to 0.50″ of rainfall
- WIND: North at 10-20 mph, a few gusts up to 25 to 30 mph
- TEMPS: Warmer, with highs in the 90s
BERYL IMPACTS FOR OUR EASTERN COUNTIES:
KSAT’s far eastern counties (specifically Lavaca, DeWitt, Gonzales, and Goliad counties) will see the higher rainfall totals and stronger wind gusts by the time all is said and done.
As of Sunday night’s forecast, 20 to 40 mph winds accompanied by gusts upwards of 60 mph+ are looking possible for this area overnight Sunday into Monday morning. Go ahead and secure loose lawn/outdoor items before heading to bed Sunday night! A Tropical Storm Warning for gusty winds is in effect for Bee, Dewitt, Goliad, and Lavaca Counties.
The potential for rainfall totals upwards of 3 to 4 inches (with localized pockets of more) are not off the table. If that verifies, a few flooding issues will need to be monitored, specially near streets, creeks, and streams, along with low-lying and poor drainage areas. A Flood Watch is in effect for DeWitt, Goliad, and Lavaca Counties.
TEXAS COAST IMPACTS SUNDAY/MONDAY
Landfall is expected near Matagorda Bay where impacts from wind, rain, and surge will be the greatest. However, much of the Texas Coast will experience rain, high surf, rip currents, and at least some storm surge.
A portion of the Texas Coast from Port Lavaca to Lake Jackson is now under a Hurricane Warning until Beryl passes.
