Hurricane Beryl brought wind and rain to east Texas on Monday morning.\u00a0 Beryl weakened to a tropical storm late on Monday morning.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Storm Beryl was located at latitude 29.8\u00b0N and longitude 95.7\u00b0W which put the center about 20 miles (30 km) west-northwest of Houston, Texas.\u00a0 Beryl was moving toward the north at 13 m.p.h. (20 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 70 m.p.h. (110 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 85 m.p.h. (135 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 984 mb.<\/p>\n

A Tropical Storm Warning was in effect for the portion of the coast from Port O’Connor to Sabine Pass, Texas.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A Storm Surge Warning was in effect for the portion of the coast from Port O’Connor to Sabine Pass, Texas.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The center of Hurricane Beryl made landfall on the coast of Texas at Matagorda early on Monday morning.\u00a0 Beryl was intensifying at the time of landfall.\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed in Hurricane Beryl was 80 m.p.h. (130 km\/h) at the time of landfall.\u00a0 A circular eye with a diameter of 32 miles (52 km) was present at the center of Beryl\u2019s circulation at the time of landfall.<\/p>\n

The strongest winds in Hurricane Beryl were occurring in the eastern half of Beryl\u2019s circulation.\u00a0 At the time of landfall winds to hurricane force extended out 45 miles (75 km) in the eastern side of Beryl.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 115 miles (185 km) from the center of Hurricane Beryl.<\/p>\n

The Hurricane Intensity Index (HII) for Hurricane Beryl at the time of landfall was 11.5.\u00a0 The Hurricane Size Index (HSI) was 10.3 and the Hurricane Wind Intensity Size Index (HWISI) was 21.8.\u00a0 Hurricane Beryl was not quite as strong as Hurricane Dolly was when Dolly hit South Texas in 2008.\u00a0 Beryl was a little smaller that Dolly was.<\/p>\n

The eye of Hurricane Beryl passed directly over Matagorda, Texas.\u00a0 A weather station at Matagorda, Texas (EMAT2) reported a sustained wind speed of 68 m.p.h. (110 km\/h) when the northern part of the eyewall passed over the station.\u00a0 The station also reported a wind gust of 86 m.p.h. (139 km\/h).\u00a0 The station reported a surface pressure of 980 mb when the eye of Hurricane Beryl was over it.<\/p>\n

A weather station at Freeport, Texas (FPST2) reported a sustained wind speed of 75 m.p.h. (120 km\/h) and a wind gust of 87 m.p.h. (141 km\/h).<\/p>\n

A weather station at the North Jetty Entrance to Galveston Bay (GNJT2) reported a sustained wind speed of 72 m.p.h. (117 km\/h) and a wind gust of 82 m.p.h. (132 km\/h).<\/p>\n

After Hurricane Beryl made landfall on the coast of Texas, the center of Beryl’s circulation passed just to the west of Houston.\u00a0 The eastern side of Beryl’s eyewall passed over Houston.\u00a0 Beryl brought strong winds and heavy rain to the area around Houston.<\/p>\n

A weather station at Houston Hobby Airport reported a sustained wind speed of 58 m.p.h. (94 km\/h) and a wind gust of 84 m.p.h. 135 km\/h).\u00a0 The weather station also reported 4.15 inches (105 mm) of rain.<\/p>\n

A weather station at Houston Intercontinental Airport reported a sustained wind speed of 59 m.p.h. (95 km\/h) and a wind gust of 82 m.p.h. (132 km\/h).\u00a0 The station also reported 4.31 inches of rain.<\/p>\n

The strong winds in Hurricane Beryl caused widespread electricity outages in east Texas.\u00a0 There were reports of 2.5 million customers without electricity.<\/p>\n

The strong winds in Hurricane Beryl caused a storm surge along the coast of Texas.\u00a0 There were reports of water level rises of 5 feet (1.5 meters) at multiple locations along the coast.<\/p>\n

Tropical Storm Beryl will move under the southeastern part of an upper level trough over the Central U.S.\u00a0 The upper level trough will steer Beryl toward the north-northeast during the next 12 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Tropical Storm Beryl will move over northeast Texas later today.\u00a0 The upper level trough will steer Beryl toward the northeast on Tuesday.\u00a0 Beryl will move over Arkansas on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Tropical Storm Beryl will continue to weaken gradually as it moves farther inland.\u00a0 Beryl will continue to produce strong winds over east Texas during the next few hours.\u00a0 Widespread minor wind damage is likely to occur.\u00a0 There are also likely to be additional electricity outages.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Beryl could drop up to 8 inches (200 mm) of rain on some locations. \u00a0 Heavy rain is likely to cause flooding.\u00a0 Flood Watches are in effect for parts of eastern Texas.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 Flood Watches are also in effect for parts of southeastern Oklahoma, southwestern Arkansas and northwestern Louisiana.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/strong>Tropical Storm Beryl will continue to cause a storm surge of up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) along the coast until the wind speeds decrease when Beryl moves farther away.<\/p>\n
