Hurricane Beryl’s Impact on South Texas
Hurricane Beryl is expected to bring significant weather changes to South Texas, particularly the Rio Grande Valley, starting Sunday, July 7. Here are the key impacts:

- Wind: Expect strong winds, especially on Monday, with gusts up to 25 mph. These winds may cause minor property damage and make travel hazardous.
- Coastal Impacts: Dangerous rip currents and high surf conditions will affect the beaches of the lower Texas coast. Tidal run-up could also lead to minor coastal flooding.
