Officials in Texas are closely monitoring the potential impacts of Hurricane Beryl, expected to make landfall in far northeastern Mexico on Sunday night. Texas Governor Gregg Abbott has directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to issue an advisory notice to various emergency management agencies to ensure response plans are in place.
The advisory notice aims to ensure that resources are prepared to be deployed if necessary as the state braces for the approaching storm. Governor Abbott emphasized the state's readiness to deploy all available resources and support to coastal communities in the face of Hurricane Beryl.
According to the National Hurricane Center's forecast, Beryl is projected to restrengthen as it moves across the southwestern Gulf of Mexico over the weekend. While the forecast cone indicates that the center of the cyclone is likely to remain in southern Texas early next week, there are varying model solutions that could see Beryl making landfall in Mexico, Texas, or other parts of the U.S.
As preparations are underway, Governor Abbott urged residents in the south coastal areas to take necessary safety precautions, stay informed about the weather conditions, and have an emergency plan ready for themselves and their families. With the holiday weekend approaching, both residents and visitors are advised to stay vigilant and be prepared for any potential impacts from the approaching storm.
