The waters in the Gulf of Mexico are warm enough for the early-season storm to rapidly intensify, as it has several times before.
With its unprecedented tear through the ultrawarm waters of the southeast Caribbean, Beryl turned meteorologists’ worst fears of a souped-up hurricane season into grim reality. Now it’s Texas turn., then weakened to a tropical storm . It’s expected to reach southern Texas by Sunday night or Monday morning, regaining hurricane status as it crosses over the toasty Gulf of Mexico.
Already three times in its one-week life, Beryl has gained 35 mph in wind speed in 24 hours or less, the official weather service definition of rapid intensification. Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach, using a different tracking system, said he counted eight different periods when Beryl rapidly intensified — something that has only happened in the Atlantic in July two other times.🌀 Tropical Cyclone Beryl is forecast to bring heavy rain to parts of Texas Sunday through mid next week, which will likely result in flash and urban flooding, some of which may be locally considerable.
