With almost as much uncertainty as humidity in the air, the Houston area should be prepared for possible severe weather from #Beryl on Monday, depending on which way Beryl goes in the next day and a half. Minor winds or hurricane gusts. A few inches of rain to 5-10 inches - or more. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #houwx

Updated today's post to address Beryl's weakening (but not by much) and the storm's more northwesterly trend, which is freaking out some folks along the Texas and Louisiana coasts. Most model runs still put Beryl further south, with a few outliers taking it north. Freak not, but be watchful.
