Texas officials are urging coastal residents to prepare for the impending arrival of Hurricane Beryl, which is expected to regain strength as it moves across the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Originally a tropical storm, Beryl is forecasted to become a Category 1 hurricane as it approaches the Texas coast.
A hurricane warning has been issued for a stretch of the state's coast from Baffin Bay to Sargent, with the storm's center likely to make landfall on Monday. Storm surge warnings are also in effect, prompting officials to warn of potential flooding, heavy rain, and strong winds.
