Beryl, once a hurricane and now a tropical storm, is expected to regain hurricane strength before it hits the south Texas coast late Sunday or early Monday, the National Hurricane Center said Saturday morning.
Beryl was about 495 miles southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas, and moving west-northwest at 12 mph at 8 a.m. ET Saturday, the center said.
The storm is expected to turn to the northwest later in the day Saturday and then north-northwestward by Sunday night, with Beryl’s center expected to approach the Texas coast by late Sunday into Monday morning, the center said.
Hurricane watches had been issued for the Texas coast from San Luis Pass, just southwest of Galveston, Texas, to the Rio Grande and, to Barra el Mezquital on the northeastern coast of mainland Mexico.

How much rain will Hurricane Beryl bring to Texas?
Beryl is expected to bring heavy rainfall of 5 to 10 inches – and localized amounts of 15 inches in some spots – to the Texas Gulf Coast and eastern Texas beginning late Sunday through midweek, the center said. This will result in some flash flooding and urban flooding, forecasters said.
