Tropical Storm Beryl is forecast to regain hurricane strength as it moves over the warm waters of the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.
"The new forecast calls for gradual strengthening" of Beryl in about 24 hours, said Dr. Jack Beven, Senior Hurricane Specialist with the National Hurricane Center. "The upper-level winds become more favorable as the cyclone approaches the western Gulf coast."
Beryl could have hurricane-force winds of around 90 miles per hour by the time it makes landfall somewhere between Brownsville and Galveston, Texas.
