Beryl

The worst Beryl has to offer is entering the Houston metro

From CNN Meteorologist Mary Gilbert

The center of Hurricane Beryl is located about 40 miles southwest of Houston but the potent cyclone is slowly pushing north this morning. Beryl’s strongest winds are located in the eyewall, an area of powerful winds that surround its center. 

Houston’s weather radar shows these strong winds are currently impacting southern and southwestern portions of the metro. More of the area will experience these winds in the next hour or two as Beryl pushes north.

Torrential rainfall and flash flooding is already ongoing over much of Houston. Widespread rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches have fallen in the last three-to-four hours with plenty more on the way. Rainfall rates are currently close to 1 inch per hour in some of the metro and will likely worsen ongoing flash flooding.
