Hurricane Beryl on track to slam southern Texas after killing at least 10 in the Caribbean: ‘Be ready to go’

Hurricane Beryl is expected to slam into southern Texas Monday morning with powerful winds of up to 85 mph — with forecasters warning locals Friday to “keep a close eye” on the wild weather.

The deadly storm was forecast to make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane near Corpus Christi at around 7 a.m. Monday after killing at least 10 people in the Caribbean over the past week, according to meteorologists.

“People should keep a close eye on it. There could be short-term changes and intensity fluctuations,” Fox Weather meteorologist Cody Braud told The Post.

“It 100% needs to be monitored.”

Texans should brace for the “worse impact” — including heavy rain and possible flash flooding  — in areas as far north as Port Lavaca beginning Sunday night, Braud warned.

He advised residents to “have a plan” and “be ready to go” if the storm strengthens and local entities advise evacuating.

Earlier this week, Beryl pounded the southeast Caribbean as a Category 4 hurricane, leveling buildings and displacing hundreds of people.
