The storm should form a landfill on Monday night or early Tuesday morning.
The tropical Storm Beta has winds of 60 mph this morning and is around 205 miles from Galveston, Texas moving slowly along the Texas coast at a speed of 3 miles west-northwest.
Beta’s latest forecast tr track shows a hurricane heading to Texas on Monday, with the hurricane likely to cause a tropical storm late Monday night or early Tuesday morning.
Hurricanes will slowly begin to turn northeast after landfill forms and will run parallel to the Texas Gulf Coast from Wednesday and then into the Mississippi River Valley by Friday.
This morning, radar shows the outer belt of heavy rain in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and even parts of the Florida Gulf Coast.
There are tropical storm clocks, alerts and flash flood clocks for parts of Texas and Louisiana.
High-resolution computer models suggest that the official landfall of the slow-moving tropical Storm Beta will take place between late Monday or early Tuesday somewhere between Houston and Corpus Christi in or near the Greater Victoria, Texas area.
High-resolution forecast models are also consistent, showing very much movement of the beta once on the ground with barely any movement in the 24-hour period between Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning. This will keep the rain of travel continuing in parts of Texas, especially east of the storm.
During this period, there can be up to four feet of storms locally.
Rainfall forecasts have been slightly lower this morning, with heavy rainfall averaging slightly lower and slightly higher. However, more than 10 inches of rain is expected locally near the Galveston area, as well as in southern Louisiana and possibly parts of northern North Louisiana, with 6 to 10 inches of rain off the Texas coast. Continuous heavy rains cause flooding in the region and of particular concern will be the urban area near Houston.
Elsewhere, Hurricane Teddy is a Category 3 hurricane with winds of 115 miles per hour and about 340 miles southeast of Bermuda.
Teddy is expected to move northwest at 12 mph as the tropical storm warning remains in effect, as Teddy expects to move eastward of the island late Sunday and Monday nights.
Teddy will then take part in the North Atlantic, perhaps grazing parts of extreme southeastern Canada. Northeastern U.S. The main effects in will be rough surf.
There is a low low pressure system off the east coast of Florida and the area has very little chance of gaining tropical characteristics in the next five days.
Tropical Storm Wilfred will continue to struggle with further development and may disintegrate as early as today. If it doesn’t move later today it will definitely come in the next few days, before it hits the ground.
A tropical cyclone south of the Azores may acquire some tropical characteristics in the days or two days after Paulet.
