...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1031 AM CDT Mon Jul 8 2024

Tropical Storm Beryl has moved north of South Texas and the Middle
Texas Coast. All Hurricane Warnings, Tropical Storm Warnings, and
Storm Surge Warnings were cancelled. These tropical warnings were
replaced with Small Craft Advisories across all our local waters,
Coastal Flood Advisories along all our coastal counties and the
islands, and a High Risk of Rip Currents along our Gulf facing
beaches. Overall, conditions will continue to gradually improve
across the area.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 432 AM CDT Mon Jul 8 2024

Hurricane Beryl has made landfall near Matagorda Texas early this
morning and will continue its northerly track this morning. Rain
bands continue to affect mainly Calhoun and Victoria counties with
heavy rain and gusty winds persisting. Lighter showers are noted
through the remainder of the Northern Coastal Bend. As Beryl
continues to pull out of the area, associated hazardous weather
will exit by later this morning. Wind gusts to 75 mph have been
noted in the Matagorda Bay area and at Port O`Connor.

As the storm exits, a very warm day is expected across much of the
area. With lingering low level moisture, this will lead to heat
index values topping 110 in the southern Coastal Plains this
afternoon, thus a heat advisory is in effect. High temperatures
will top 100 west today with mid and upper 90s for the southern
coastal bend. Slightly cooler in the northern coastal bend due to
lingering clouds from Beryl through the morning.

NBM is indicating low rain chances this afternoon inland of the
coast, however think this chance to be minimal so will have silent
PoPs. A much quieter night tonight with lows in the mid and upper
70s due to lingering surface humidity.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 432 AM CDT Mon Jul 8 2024

After having Beryl to talk about for more than a week now, the
long term period is going to seem rather boring - but we`re ok
with that. Mid level troughing will remain in place through late
in the week and will keep rain chances in the forecast, mainly a
diurnal sea breeze situation. Tuesday/Wednesday looks to be a bit
healthier of a sea breeze with scattered activity. Later in the
week, we`re back to our normal isolated coverage. High
temperatures remain at or slightly above normal tomorrow, but drop
back a couple of degrees for the latter half of the week, mainly
in the 90s. We may need another heat advisory Tuesday for the
southern Coastal Plains.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 525 AM CDT Mon Jul 8 2024

VFR conditions will continue across LRD and COT through the TAF
period. As for the eastern TAF sites, ALI and CRP may see light
showers from the outer bands of Beryl, which could bring wind
gusts around 30 knots and brief MVFR conditions through the
morning hours. VCT remains closest to Beryl, and showers with
gusts to around 40 knots are expected to continue generally
through mid morning. However, as Beryl continues to move farther
away, conditions will improve. All TAF sites are expected to be
VFR by late morning/early afternoon.

.MARINE...
Issued at 432 AM CDT Mon Jul 8 2024

Tropical storm Beryl continues to produce tropical storm
conditions over the waters. The storm is slowly deepening and
could become a hurricane before moving out of the middle Texas
waters. Hurricane conditions are possible tonight into early
Monday with wave heights up to 17 to 22 feet. Gradually improving
conditions can be expected late Monday through the middle of the
week. Expect widespread showers and thunderstorms through Monday,
with scattered thunderstorms lingering through the end of the
week.
