Beryl, once a hurricane and now a tropical storm, is expected to regain hurricane strength before reaching the South Texas coast late Sunday or early Monday, the National Hurricane Center said Saturday morning.
As of 8 a.m. ET Saturday, Beryl was located about 495 miles southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas, and was moving west-northwest at 12 mph, according to the center.
The storm is expected to turn northwest late Saturday afternoon and then north-northwest by Sunday night, with the center of Beryl expected to approach the Texas coast late Sunday into Monday morning, the center said.
A hurricane watch was in effect for the Texas coast from San Luis Pass, southwest of Galveston, Texas, up the Rio Grande River to Barra el Mezquital on the northeast coast of mainland Mexico.
