Tropical Storm Beryl is expected to make landfall as a hurricane in south Texas, bringing potential life-threatening inundation and heavy rainfall to the region. The storm, which intensified rapidly, could lead to hurricane-force winds, storm surges of 1 to 6 feet, and significant rainfall amounts of up to 15 inches in localized areas. Beryl poses a threat of flooding and strong winds to the Texas coast, with some areas already under hurricane and storm surge warnings. The Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be very active, with NOAA forecasting 17 to 25 named storms and an increased likelihood of hurricane formation due to conducive environmental conditions.
