Tropical Storm Beryl is continuing its path along the Gulf of Mexico. The path hasn’t deviated much in the past 24 hours. The eye of the storm is expected to make landfall slightly up the coast from Rockport to Palacios. The outer bands will affect the entire Texas coastline. All of which is under at least a Tropical Storm Warning. Beryl is still a Tropical Storm but is expected to make it to a category 1 hurricane this evening prior to landfall. It’s nowhere near the destructive storm it was as it passed through the islands in the Caribbean. Beryl’s status as a hurricane is expected to be short lived, as it will rapidly lose strength as it makes landfall overnight. The coast will experience rain and scattered storms throughout the day today as weather develops off the outer bands of Beryl. Moving into late night hours tonight the area can expect widespread downpours and at least tropical storm force winds. Coastal flooding due to storm surge and inland flash flooding is expected along the initial path of the storm around Bay City and Victoria, TX. PowerSecure is monitoring Beryl closely. As the storm moves along the Texas coast and inland, PowerControl Monitoring will be working with customers to ensure assets are operating as needed. PowerSecure Service has technicians available as the storm passes to assist customers with any troubleshooting that may be required.

Tropical Storm Helene is about to enter the Gulf of Mexico, where extremely warm waters will provide it with ample fuel for potential rapid intensification. Warnings and mandatory evacuation notices are going up along parts of Florida’s Gulf Coast, where the National Hurricane Center is warning of life-threatening storm surge along the whole west coast of the Florida Peninsula and Big Bend in addition to flooding rain and destructive winds. Helene is forecast to become a major hurricane before making landfall. This morning, Helene’s center is approaching the northeastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. The storm’s maximum sustained winds are currently 65 mph. The next 24 hours will see that number jump up considerably as Helene encounters conditions extremely conducive to intensification. Helene is likely to make its U.S. landfall Thursday night, and is predicted to be so strong and fast-moving that it will likely cause problems far inland. It’s clear that this is going to be a big, fast, dangerous storm. If you are close to its path, you need to be paying close attention and preparing for this one. Remember that conditions can and will deteriorate long before the center of the storm hits, and please be careful

Tropical Storm Helene, currently centered near Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, is expected to intensify into a major hurricane before making landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast Thursday night. Life-threatening storm surge, damaging winds, and heavy rain will impact Florida and inland areas across the Southeast. Helene’s winds are currently at 65 mph, with its center 45 miles east-northeast of Cozumel, Mexico. As the storm moves northwest, it will bring heavy rain to the Yucatan and parts of Cuba, and rain bands are already reaching southern Florida. Hurricane warnings are in effect from Florida’s Big Bend into southwest Georgia, with storm surge warnings extending from Indian Pass to Flamingo. The storm is expected to intensify rapidly in the Gulf of Mexico due to warm waters and lower wind shear, reaching its peak strength before making landfall. High storm surges up to 10 feet above ground level are forecast for Florida’s Big Bend and Apalachee Bay, with significant surge possible in Tampa Bay and other coastal areas. Helene will bring strong winds, widespread flooding, and isolated tornadoes into the Southeast, including Georgia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee, through Friday. Rainfall totals could reach 5 to 10 inches, with isolated amounts up to 15 inches, leading to flash floods and potential landslides in elevated areas. Residents in affected areas are urged to prepare for the storm and follow evacuation orders. https://lnkd.in/dhmm2trx

Tropical Storm Beryl Approaches Texas Coast Beryl, once again at tropical storm strength, is set to strengthen as it heads toward the south Texas coast, bringing a risk of damaging winds, life-threatening storm surge, and dangerous flooding. It is expected to become a Category 1 hurricane before making landfall near Corpus Christi on Monday. Hurricane and storm surge watches are in effect along the Texas coast from the Rio Grande to San Luis Pass, with up to 5 feet of storm surge and 15 inches of rainfall potentially causing significant flooding. Beryl has already caused significant damage across the Caribbean and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, resulting in at least nine fatalities and leaving hundreds of thousands of homes without power. It is the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record in the Atlantic, having intensified rapidly due to abnormally warm ocean waters. Jamaica, Venezuela, Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines were particularly hard hit, with extensive property damage and severe flooding. Below is a screenshot from EigenPrism of the 5-day Wind Swath forecast from Adiabat, overlaid on a demo exposure dataset representing a prominent retail coffee chain.

Tracking Tropical Weather: Tropical Storm Francine, which has formed in the Gulf of Mexico, is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane as it tracks toward the upper Texas and Louisiana coasts on Wednesday. While the Rio Grande Valley isn't expected to be directly impacted, bands of heavy rain could begin to lash parts of South Texas as soon as Tuesday and continue in some areas near the coast through Wednesday night or early Thursday, according to the National Hurricane Center.

With that in mind, South Texas Health System offers the following tips for staying safe at home in heavy rain: 🌀 Check if your property is at risk of flooding 🌀 Prepare your house for rain by removing debris from gutters and checking doors & windows to ensure they properly seal 🌀 Prune dead branches from trees in your yard 🌀 Have sandbags on hand for low areas of your house 🌀 In a flood, move furniture to higher floors to prevent water damage It's imperative to always pay attention to the latest forecast as conditions can change quickly and storms can rapidly intensify.

As Hurricane Beryl makes landfall in Texas, it’s a crucial reminder of the power and unpredictability of storms. Alongside high winds and heavy rain, storm surges are one of the most dangerous threats during a hurricane. What is a Storm Surge? A storm surge is an abnormal rise in seawater level caused by strong storm winds pushing water onshore. This can lead to severe flooding, property damage, and can be life-threatening. Storm Surge Planning Zones: Understanding your storm surge planning zone is essential for effective preparation. Here’s what you can do: *Stay Informed: Determine your storm surge planning zone and keep updated with weather forecasts and alerts. *Prepare Your Property: Use sandbags, elevate furniture, and secure important documents. *Have a Plan: Know your evacuation routes based on your zone and have a communication strategy. *After the Storm: If your property is impacted by a storm surge, PuroClean of Aventura, Davie & Downtown Miami is here to help.
