Prepare for Heavy Rain – EastTexasRadio.com

Expect Beryl to make landfall on the Texas coast today, with its remnants tracking north and northeast Texas, into central and northeast Texas. The primary impacts will be torrential rain and widespread flooding, with areas east of I-35/I-45 and in our southeastern counties at the highest risk for flooding.

Be alert for showers and thunderstorms to be numerous today and tonight. Scattered showers and thunderstorms associated with the outer bands of Beryl will move into east-central Texas this afternoon. A line of thunderstorms over Oklahoma may move into north Texas overnight, bringing a slight threat of strong to severe wind gusts. Finally, Beryl will continue to move into east-central Texas late tonight/early Monday morning.

As Beryl leaves the region, we will have a warm and seasonable remainder of the week. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible each afternoon, primarily in central and eastern Texas.

Today and tonight

Heavy rains associated with Hurricane Beryl will cause flooding today and tonight, primarily along and east of I-45.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop later this morning and afternoon in northern Texas along Beryl’s track. The primary threat from this activity will be localized heavy rainfall.

From Tuesday to Sunday

An unstable pattern will maintain daily thunderstorm risks for the remainder of the week, primarily in central Texas.

Hurricane Beryl will continue northwestward and make landfall along the Texas coast into southeastern Texas this morning. Later today, its center of circulation will enter the four-state region through eastern Texas. Given the current forecast track, the primary impacts will be the threat of heavy rain and flash flooding, with a few tornadoes possible over eastern Texas, northern Louisiana, and southern Arkansas.

A flood watch is in effect for eastern Texas, parts of southwestern Arkansas and extreme northwestern Louisiana until 3 p.m. Tuesday. As Beryl moves northeast across the region, rainfall amounts of more than 6 inches could be possible in parts of northeast Texas.

Winds will increase to 35 mph across much of eastern and northeastern Texas as Beryl moves inland and across the region.

There is an increased risk of impacts, including tornadoes, from severe thunderstorms associated with the remnants of Hurricane Beryl as it moves northeastward across the region this afternoon.
