Beryl tropical storm expected to slam into Texas coast

The U.S. National Hurricane Center predicted that Beryl would regain hurricane strength Sunday before making landfall in the middle of the Gulf Coast of Texas the following day, bringing "dangerous storm surge, flash flooding and strong winds to Texas overnight." The latest forecasts indicate that landfall will happen early on Monday morning, before Beryl turns northeastward and moves farther inland over eastern Texas and Arkansas late Monday into Tuesday, according to the hurricane center. 

Earlier Sunday, Jack Beven, a senior hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center, told the Associated Press that Beryl was expected to make landfall "somewhere on the Texas coast" at some point on Monday, based on the latest forecasts.
