Official forecast still has it as a tropical storm coming in just south of the RGV. But everything seems to be trending north with each new update.

True, but the 12Z GFS showed a very similar path, which previous runs have shown closer to Corpus, so that's a little south, and moved more toward the Euro.

Euro 00Z and 12Z still are holding to a near Tampico, Mexico landing.

NHC seems to favor the GFS results, but maybe both models are starting to converge a bit.

18Z and 00Z tonight will be interesting to see.

Seems all these meteorologists are arguing it out on twitter/X and us common filks are trying to interpret a language to stay safe.

From what I have read it all depends on strength the storm as it approaches the Yucatan and how much it may weaken coming off the peninsula if at all and then how deep or South the 'weak' trough moves South out if the northern US states that can influence a northern track of the storm.

My confusion is still they show some model runs going into Brownsville and some toward Pt Arthur.

I realize we will know more by Thursday but I have been following this going on for about a week already and have extreme anxiety related to weather. Elderly parents in SE Tx that have very limited physical capabilities and I will have to travel to evacuate with that can not do well in a car for long.

Sorry I can no longer type on my phone it changes every other word.

I am a wreck

Interesting that this weatherops forecast has the landing further north than NHC but much lower wind speeds on arrival (only 35 mph).

Seems like there is still a ton of uncertainty and model disagreement on ultimate location and strength just because of so many unknown variables/interactions between here and Bay of Campeche.

But I'm definitely leaning towards a south Texas landing spot based on the trends.

Latest NOAA model has shifted south again, this time with the eye missing the Caymans

You might be right, but I could have sworn that the previous run had a bullseye on Grand Cayman.

Yeah, as far as landfall it does to me too.

they look very similar to me as well (other than different timestamp dots)

Fantastic series. Completely crowd funded if I'm not mistaken. New season should be on Prime soon.

Damn bro, you are going to be in for a long hurricane season if we are still on letter B and you are freaking out this much already.

It's a tiny bit further South.

I'll wait until GFS 18Z comes out - curious to see if it's moved a little further south given this update. NHC appears to be tracking more inline with GFS currently.

It is, but some models run longer than others, so beyond about 5 days the average gets weighted towards the only models that still have data that far out. I think most try to predict for 5 days, but anything that has a week or more of data would skew things.

No. The black line is where Trump thinks it's going.

From our company weather guy (major O&G)

If Beryl were to take a track into the greater Houston area, the approximate landfall would be sometime Monday or early Tuesday. Based on this afternoon's ECMWF ensemble guidance, I put the chances of a direct impact in South Texas at 20-30% and 10-20% in Southeast Texas (Houston/Galveston) and Southwest Louisiana (Lake Charles area)

Are y'all prepping for any shut-ins?

I'm downstream so I don't know the details but haven't heard of anything from friends at this point

Indianola was basically wiped off the map by a hurricane in the late 1800's. I assume that's what the poster was referencing.

Lanza throwing a hissy fit because people are starting to question him.

I need to say some words to people in Houston. We are getting blasted by a few of you for apparently underselling the real threat from Beryl. If you read the post below, we've taken a very down the middle, neutral stance on the storm, explaining how it is still likely to pass to the south, though if it were to not weaken as much as forecast over the next 36 hours, it could come a bit farther to the north. We even went so far as to show the European ensemble models with the distribution of some closer to southeast Texas and others in Mexico, and we explained how this could be and what to watch for. I'm not quite sure what isn't resonating with some people, but those are the facts. Here is a look at today's most recent European ensemble members, 51 of them:

Of the 51 members, 5 of them or 9.8 percent bring Beryl into the Houston area or Louisiana. This is down from 8 earlier this morning. If you would rather the GFS Ensemble, 4 of the ensemble members, or about 13 percent bring it to Texas or Louisiana, the same as earlier. Roughly one tropical model (the HWRF) brings Beryl to Houston. The HWRF historically would handle a weakening tropical system poorly, so I would be apt to discount it in my weighting as a meteorologist with a number of years of experience tracking and forecasting these things.

Herzog's latest. Which is completely the opposite of Lanza's temper tantrum.

7:30PM Tuesday Beryl Update:

I'll be honest with you. My stomach is starting to turn a little bit right now with what the Hurricane Hunters are finding inside Hurricane Beryl. They just sampled winds over 180 mph while flying into the northern eye wall, which is not what I expected based on what it looks like on satellite. Our satellite estimation techniques say this should be around a 130 mph storm. At this time the National Hurricane Center is putting the estimated winds at 150 mph, a formidable category 4 hurricane.

But Beryl has been hit by wind shear all day long, and that was supposed knock it down more than this. The satellite presentation has degraded some, but for now, the core of the storm has not been severely impacted by that shear.

If you've been following along, you know that the stronger this storm stays, the more northward it will move. I still maintain that we need to see how strong it is tomorrow once it gets to the other side of Jamaica to have a clearer picture of what it will do over the Gulf of Mexico.

But it's not encouraging for our fellow humans in Jamaica to see the storm doing this right now, and if it continues to defy expectations by staying stronger than expected, it will increase the chances that a hurricane eventually hits Texas.

Keep your guard up, talk out your hurricane plans with your family, and be ready to take action later this week if needed.

The next forecast track comes out by 10PM. More to come.

Herzog has been very doom and gloom.

A couple weeks ago he was warning people to get their cars off the road at the risk of street flooding. It barely rained in Houston that day.

Regardless of his emotions, the fact that shear isn't doing anything to this storm is scary
