Tracking Tropical Storm Beryl: Latest maps, models and paths

NEWS STARTS NOW. BARREL IS SWEEPING THROUGH TEXAS RIGHT NOW. IT HAS KNOCKED OUT POWER TO MORE THAN A MILLION HOMES AND BUSINESSES ACROSS THE HOUSTON REGION. THAT STORM SURGE CLIMBED PRETTY QUICKLY, AND GALVESTON, WHICH COULD SEE UP TO SEVEN FEET. IT’S THE FIRST STORM IN THE HURRICANE SEASON TO MAKE LANDFALL HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. BARREL HAD ALREADY CUT A DEADLY PATH THROUGH PARTS OF MEXICO AND THE CARIBBEAN. ALL RIGHT. RIGHT NOW WE WANT TO GET OVER TO CAM, WHO HAS BEEN TRACKING THAT STORM AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WITH IT? CAM. THAT’S RIGHT. BARREL MADE LANDFALL EARLY THIS MORNING ABOUT 4:00 LOCAL TIME. THERE OVER MATAGORDA, WHICH IS JUST SOUTHWEST OF HOUSTON RIGHT NOW. THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION IS ABOUT 20 MILES NORTHWEST OF HOUSTON, TEXAS, WITH WINDS NOW AT 70MPH. SO BARREL IS NO LONGER A HURRICANE AND IS MOVING NORTH NORTHEAST AT 13MPH. BUT I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU LOOK HOW FAR STRETCHING THE RAIN IS. AND ON TOP OF THE RAIN. WE’RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER. SO THAT RED POLYGON THAT YOU SEE IS A TORNADO WATCH. IT’S IN EFFECT FOR THE AREA. UNTIL LATE TONIGHT. WE HAD A COUPLE OF TORNADO WARNINGS ALREADY, AND THEN YOU ALSO SEE THAT SPIN AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE WINDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF THE SYSTEM RIGHT NOW, 59 MILE PER HOUR WINDS IN HOUSTON, LAKE CHARLES, WHICH IS EAST OF HOUSTON, ABOUT 30 MILE PER HOUR WINDS THERE. BUT EARLIER THIS MORNING HOUSTON HOBBY, ONE OF THE BIG AIRPORTS THERE, REGISTERED WINDS OF 84MPH. YOU CAN SEE HEAVY BANDING STILL WITH THIS SYSTEM. LOOK AT HOW MUCH RAINFALL HAS FALLEN THERE ALREADY, SOME UPWARDS IN THE DARKER PURPLES THAT YOU SEE THERE, ABOUT A LITTLE OVER HALF A FOOT OF RAIN. I CAN TELL YOU PERSONALLY, I HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY THERE AND THIS SYSTEM HAS ALREADY KNOCKED OUT POWER TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OR OVER A MILLION PEOPLE. MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY INCLUDED. SO NONE OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY ACTUALLY HAVE POWER IN HOUSTON RIGHT NOW. THE SYSTEM WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT MOVES NORTH NORTHEASTWARD, AND THE REMNANTS OF IT WILL ACTUALLY MOVE INTO THE MIDWEST. THERE BY MID TO LATE WEEK. I’LL TALK MORE ABOUT OUR LOCAL FORECAST HERE AT HOME, WHEN WE WILL GET R
