Daytime temperatures will be seasonally hot in the low 90s but with very high humidity.

Storms will become more widely scattered on Wednesday before increasing again late in the week.

Beryl is now a tropical storm after making landfall on the south coast of Texas 80 miles south/southwest of Houston as a Cat. 1 hurricane.
