Tropical Storm Beryl appeared to be getting its act together on Sunday morning as it headed for landfall on the Texas coast.

The National Hurricane Center still expects Beryl, which had 65 mph winds on Sunday, to become a hurricane later today — and continue strengthening before moving onshore Monday morning.

The hurricane center said those along the coast should be preparing for the possibility of a Category 2 hurricane by the time Beryl makes landfall.

As of 10 a.m. CDT Sunday, Tropical Storm Beryl was located about 195 miles southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas, and was tracking to the northwest at 10 mph.

Beryl’s winds increased from 60 mph to 65 mph. Hurricane-force winds begin at 74 mph.

The hurricane center said Beryl should continue moving toward the northwest today. Then it could turn toward the north-northwest tonight, and then turn toward the north on Monday. On the forecast track, the center of Beryl is expected to make landfall on the Texas coast Monday morning.

The hurricane center still expects Beryl to strengthen and become a hurricane again later today or tonight before it reaches the Texas coast. And it could continue to strengthen right up until landfall.

Forecasters said hurricane conditions will be possible in the hurricane watch areas by early Monday, and tropical storm conditions could begin by tonight.

Here is a look at the watches and warnings in effect on Sunday:

* A hurricane warning is in effect for the Texas coast from Baffin Bay northward to San Luis Pass.

* A hurricane watch is in effect for the Texas coast north of San Luis Pass to Galveston Island.

* A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Texas coast south of Baffin Bay to the mouth of the Rio Grande River and from north of San Luis Pass to Sabine Pass as well as the northeastern coast of mainland Mexico from Barra el Mezquital to the mouth of the Rio Grande River.

* A storm surge warning is in effect for the north Entrance of the Padre Island National Seashore to Sabine Island, including Corpus Christi Bay, Matagorda Bay and Galveston Bay.

* A storm surge watch is in effect for the Texas coast from north of Baffin Bay, Texas, to the north entrance of the Padre Island National Seashore.

The hurricane center said 4 to 6 feet of storm surge will be possible in areas along the Texas coast. Areas as far east as Cameron, La., could get 1 to 3 feet of surge.

Beryl is expected to bring 5 to 10 inches of rain with localized amounts of 15 inches is expected to areas along the Texas coast and eastern Texas. That rain will begin today and last through Monday night.

Considerable flash flooding will be possible in localized areas, forecasters said.

If that wasn’t enough, tornadoes will be possible later this evening and tonight for parts of Texas, especially east of where the center approaches the coast.

The anticipated landfall for Beryl will be the third one for the storm. It made its first landfall on July 1 in the Windward Islands as a Category 4 hurricane with 150 mph winds. The second landfall was July 5 on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula as a strong Category 2 hurricane with 110 mph winds.

Beryl strengthened to a Category 5 for several hours after moving into the Caribbean, making history as the earliest Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic on record.
