Tropical Storm Beryl is completing its trek across the Yucatan peninsula and will enter the Gulf of Mexico in the coming hours, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC)’s update at 4 p.m. CDT on July 5.
While it has lost significant strength since it made landfall, with maximum sustained winds decreasing to 65 mph, Beryl is expected to regain hurricane status once it is fully over the water and hit southern Texas in the early hours of Monday morning with intense wind, rain, and storm surge. The tropical storm force winds still extend out 105 miles from the storm’s center.
