Portions of South Texas are now within the forecast cone of Hurricane Beryl, which meteorologists say could arrive to the state over the weekend or early Monday.

Will Hurricane Beryl hit Texas? That's what many are wondering as the first hurricane of the 2024 season moves across the Caribbean Sea towards Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Parts of South Texas are now within the projected path of Hurricane Beryl, expected to potentially reach the state by the weekend or early Monday, according to meteorologists.

Forecasters remain uncertain about Beryl's future trajectory and intensity as it nears the Gulf Coast after impacting Mexico. The National Weather Service stated on Wednesday, "High uncertainty remains with both the track and intensity of Beryl."

High pressure plays a crucial role in determining Hurricane Beryl's path. After hitting Jamaica on Wednesday, Beryl is expected to continue its journey across the Caribbean on Thursday. Meteorologists explain that the storm is being guided around a significant high-pressure area over the U.S.

"If the high-pressure area remains strong, Beryl is likely to make landfall in Belize or Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Thursday night or Friday and then stay mostly over land," said AccuWeather meteorologist Bernie Rayno.
