BREAKING: NWS Makes Major Shift in Rainfall Totals for East Texas

The National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center has made a significant change to their expectations of where the most rainfall will occur from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl.

Take a Look at the Two Maps Below

The first map shows the five-day outlook for precipitation from Friday morning through Wednesday morning. That map is taking its data from the belief that Beryl would be making landfall somewhere near Padre Island.

The second map shows the five-day precipitation forecast from Friday night through Wednesday evening. Notice the huge shift to the east of the heaviest rainfall expectations.

As Beryl's expected track pushes north and east, so does the orange-colored area of rainfall amounts approaching half a foot, or more. It looks like east Texas will see the biggest rainfall amounts from Monday night through Wednesday night.

Here are the latest details on Beryl, as well as its projected path.

Many Things Could Still Change

There is still a lot of uncertainty concerning Beryl's path, especially by the time Monday arrives. So, the forecasts for landfall, storm surge, and subsequent rainfall amounts from her remnant may change quite a bit over the next 48-72 hours.

Beryl is expected to make landfall, probably on Monday. It should push north and then northeastward into Louisiana and Arkansas and beyond by late Wednesday. That should help keep this storm from dropping epic rainfall totals.

Now, we just have to watch how long it takes Beryl to make contact with the Texas coastline. The longer it takes, the more Beryl will strengthen...probably.
