Galveston prepares for potential weather threat

Weather conditions in Galveston are calm but that could all change over the weekend as a Hurricane Watch was issued for the Texas coast. FOX 26's Jonathan Mejia has a look at how the island is preparing.

Tropical update: Hurricane Beryl no longer major

Hurricane Beryl is finally not a major hurricane. Latest update has 110 mph winds. The Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico is up next for landfall early Friday morning. It is looking more likely that much of Texas will received heavy rainfall from Beryl. Make sure to check out Meteorologist John Dawson Hurricane Gear Test playlist to help you stay prepared for this active hurricane season.

Tropical Update: Hurricane Beryl expected to weaken

Hurricane Beryl has max winds of 155 making it a very strong Category 4 hurricane. Expect a slow weakening as it moves through the Caribbean but will still bring life-threatening winds and storm surges to Jamaica. INVEST 96-L is still with us and being watched by the National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane Beryl ROARING through Caribbean with MAJOR winds

Beryl is roaring through the Caribbean currently with 150mph maximum sustained winds. It should remain a major hurricane for several more days. There are concerns where it will head once it reaches the Gulf of Mexico this weekend.

Tropical update: Hurricane Beryl forms in Atlantic

Beryl is now a hurricane and is expected to become a major hurricane as it moves into and through the Caribbean Sea. Invest 94L could have some major impacts on Mexico and the tropical wave off the African coast is to be watched closely for development.

Tropical Storm Beryl could become hurricane

FOX 26 Meteorologist Allison Gargaro discusses Tropical Storm Beryl which developed in the Atlantic late Friday night and now has the chance of becoming a Category 3 Hurricane next week in the Caribbean Sea.

Tropical Update: Expecting named tropical storm

Invest 95L has a new number and that is "two", as in Tropical Depression Two. We are still expecting this system to be named Beryl, but for now the National Hurricane Center is classifying it as a tropical depression. There are also a couple other areas of disturbed weather to discuss in the Atlantic basin.

Tropical Update: Possible tropical storm developing

We are getting closer and closer to another named storm in the Atlantic! Invest 95-L in the east-central Atlantic now has a HIGH 80% chance of being our next tropical depression or storm. It is projected to get stronger as it moves west closer to the Lesser Antilles this weekend. Invest 94-L has reached the western Caribbean and still has a LOW shot to become a tropical system over the next week as it pushes into the southern Gulf of Mexico. Impacts from 94-L are expected to be minimal for Southeast Texas as it should stay to our south and move into Mexico. Another tropical wave is moving off the coast of Africa but we'll have several days to watch that one.

Tropical Update: Two systems across Atlantic Basin

We are closely monitoring two systems across the Atlantic Basin that could be our next two tropical systems. The first, Invest 94-L, is in the central Caribbean with only a low chance of development. There's a 10% chance over the next few days and a 20% chance for development as it moves into the SW Gulf of Mexico this weekend. If a tropical depression or storm forms, it would likely stay south of Houston. The other system we are monitoring is in the eastern Atlantic with only a 10% chance for development over the next few days. But conditions appear more favorable for development over the next several days as it moves west & gets closer to the Caribbean Sea. Formation potential over the next week has increased to a MEDIUM 40% chance. This system is still a long way away so keep checking back for updates!

Tropical Update: Chance of tropical storm in Gulf

A tropical wave in the Southeast Caribbean has a low 10% chance of developing into a tropical system over the next few days as it moves towards the Northwest Caribbean. This weekend through early next week there's a low 20% chance that we could have a tropical depression or storm in the Gulf of Mexico. This system will likely stay south of Houston but keep checking back for updates. No other tropical activity is expected in the Atlantic basin over the next few days. The Eastern Pacific also remains quiet with no tropical activity for now.

Tropical Update: Watching area of possible development

Gulf of Mexico is quiet now. But we are watching another tropical wave in the SW Atlantic that could go through some very slow development as it reaches the western Caribbean by Friday. There's a LOW 20% chance of tropical development late this week over the western Caribbean and eventually the southern Gulf of Mexico. If this system develops, it would likely stay south of the Houston area and push into Mexico.
