Beryl , once a hurricane and now a tropical storm, is expected to regain hurricane strength before it hits the south Texas coast late Sunday or early Monday, the National Hurricane Center said Saturday afternoon.
Beryl was about 385 miles southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas, and moving west-northwest at 13 mph at about 5 p.m. ET Saturday, the center said.
The storm is turning toward northwest and is expected to turn north-northwestward by Sunday night and to the north on Monday, with Beryl's center expected to approach the Texas coast by Sunday and make landfall on Monday, the center said.
A hurricane warning has been issued for the Texas coast from Baffin Bay – north of Padre Island – to Sargent, just southwest of Galveston, Texas.
Tropical storm warnings are in effect in Texas from Baffin Bay south to the Rio Grand River and north of Sargent to High Island, northeast of Galveston. A tropical storm warning is also in effect for the northeastern coast of Mexico from Barra el Mezquital to the Rio Grande River, the center said.
This forecast track shows the most likely path of the center of the storm. It does not illustrate the full width of the storm or its impacts, and the center of the storm is likely to travel outside the cone up to 33% of the time.

Illustrations include an array of forecast tools and models, and not all are created equal. The hurricane center uses only the top four or five highest-performing models to help make its forecasts.

How much rain will Hurricane Beryl bring to Texas?
Beryl is expected to bring heavy rainfall of 5 to 10 inches – and localized amounts of 15 inches in some spots – to the Texas Gulf Coast and eastern Texas beginning late Sunday through midweek, the center said. This will result in some flash flooding and urban flooding, forecasters said.
The storm could bring "a few tornadoes" along the Texas Coast Sunday afternoon and Sunday night, hurricane specialist Jack Beven wrote in the center's advisory.
