Supposed to be nice today, sunny with temps n the 80's. I hope it holds for a while.
Half an hour of sun, heavy rain followed by hours of cloud, then a bit of sun again. Ever bloody day.
The hurricane is already affecting my weather. Tons of moist air being pumped up from the gulf. 70% chance of rain today. Just hit and miss showers, no organized front.
It was 87* at 0630 hours. Suppose to hit 110* today. I gotta get off my butt and go for a walk before my shoes stick to the pavement!
Uh oh, GOLF time!!
(Can't find a golf emoji, go play tennis)!!
I can find them but my computer doesn't want to copy and paste anything.

That's tomorrow's forecast? @TexasCharm
Lots of clouds been rolling through here and the humidity is here, sure it will be worse. Fascinates me how storms pull a system towards itself, clouds rolling ahead, clouds rolling to a storm. Awesome as long as it doesn't flood.

Folks in path of the storm keep your head down! Pines start coming down with winds >50mph. Supposed to be winds above 70mph at landfall. I was in sabine pass tx once for a storm with winds that high, only time i was ever in a eye of a hurricane. Nail everything down, better use two nails! 
It's been overcast here all day. Temp never broke 90f, humidity was high though. Been above 80% since yesterday. Same predicted for tomorrow. But on tues/wed i'll be getting the remnants of Beryl.

....While nobody is looking:Has anybody thought about all the oil refineries on the Texas coast in the path, that provide most of the country's gasoline?
They will shut them all down before Beryl gets near.

these guys are covering it, the link to photo I posted above. The eye is hours away but forecasting possibility of tornado warning for Surfside or Freeport, or a water spout.

Very exciting, makes me nervous. Do you think you will get hit hard from this, @Supervisor42 ? At this point they think it is edging toward being a category 2. I'm out.

MATAGORDA, Texas —
Beryl strengthened and again became a hurricane overnight as it made landfall in southern Texas early Monday. The storm's outer bands lashed the coast with rain and intensifying winds as residents prepared for the powerful storm that already cut a deadly path through parts of Mexico and the Caribbean.
The National Hurricane Center issued an updated advisory at 4 a.m. Central Standard Time warning the center of the storm had made landfall near Matagorda, Texas.
“Life-threatening storm surge, heavy rainfall, and strong winds are ongoing across portions of Texas,” the hurricane center said.
The hurricane's top sustained winds were 80 mph as the storm moves north at 12 mph. A hurricane warning is in effect for the Texas coast from Mesquite Bay north to Port Bolivar, the center said.
People on the Texas coast boarded up windows and left beach towns under evacuation order. The storm was projected to come ashore early Monday in the middle of the Texas coast around Matagorda Bay, an area about 100 miles south of Houston, but officials cautioned the path could still change.
As the storm neared the coast, Texas officials warned Sunday it could cause power outages and flooding but also expressed worry that not enough residents and beach vacationers in Beryl’s path had heeded warnings to leave."

We are just starting to get some wind and a steady little rain. Still right in the path of the eye.. should be a strong TS by the time it gets here later this morning. We are 100 miles inland.
I'll stay in touch as long as I can .. I'm sure we'll lose power.
We live on the edge of the Piney Woods.. so pine trees are an issue.

Just far enough west to get no rain from Beryl, but it's cloudy so it will be cooler!!

Rain last two days.
How can I get rain in S.C., but not Pearl?!??
All I can do is chuckle as the temps climb from the 90's to 100's this week, and I won't be here to "enjoy" the heat. 
I'm west of DFW, hoping for a sprinkle out of Beryl, but doesn't look good! It is a beautiful morning, a cloudy day would be nice! After today the temps go up and all rain chances are gone for a while!!
