Latest radar imagery of Beryl churning towards the Texas coastline.

07/07/2024

Good morning, everyone! Here is the latest update on Tropical Storm Beryl. As of now, it hasn't changed much in intensity or track from yesterday. It's expected to make landfall early Monday near Matagorda, Port Lavaca area. Houston and Harris County are under a tropical storm warning, and our main concern is the feeder bands bringing heavy rain, 40-50 mph winds, and the possibility of a few tornadoes. These conditions could start later this afternoon or evening, so it's important to be prepared for tropical storm conditions in Houston with stronger wind gusts within these feeder bands. Some power outages are likely. The latest NHC advisory indicates that some strengthening is expected today, possibly reaching category 1 status by landfall. I'll provide more updates later. Stay safe, everyone! Gates Roofing & Construction

07/07/2024

The latest on Beryl indicates potential impacts on North Texas, particularly in areas east of 35 where a flooding threat is expected. Stay tuned for further updates.
