Overview:
As Tropical Storm Beryl’s path changes eastward, areas of North Texas should prepare for significant rain on Monday afternoon. Compared to earlier estimates, this change in route is anticipated to bring earlier and more extensive rainfall to the area.
Weather Conditions Today:
Today’s maximum temperatures in North Texas will be close to 97°F, with mostly calm weather. Because of the notable humidity levels, the heat indices, which range from 98 to 102°F, could make it feel hotter. No heat advisory is anticipated for the area in spite of this.
Status and Forecast:
Beryl is still categorized as a tropical storm as of Sunday morning, but forecasters predict that it will become a hurricane again before reaching landfall overnight, most likely close to Matagorda, Texas. The greatest rains will probably have less of an impact in the Metroplex due to the storm’s eastward adjustment in track.
Impacts and Alerts:
The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for several eastern counties, including Navarro, Kaufman, and Van Zandt. Flooding is the biggest concern, especially in the eastern and southern areas where heavier rain bands are expected to hit as early as Monday morning. As outer bands advance inland, there is also a slight chance of tropical spin-ups, which could result in rotational weather patterns.
Forecast:
By Tuesday, generally bright sky and temperatures close to 90°F are predicted, marking an improvement in the weather. But by midweek, the temperature will return to the mid-90s, and it might even hit triple digits the following week.
As circumstances change, keep an eye out for updates and get ready for any flooding that may affect the regions that are marked.
