(NATS: HURRICANE)
(SOT: SUMMER OUTLOOK MOS) 5:01
I'm from Houston. So we get a lot of hurricanes
(Butt) 5:07
It's been nuts. It's been nuts. I hope that stuff doesn't come to come to Austin. But it'd be scary if you did.

(SOT: NICK BANNIN | CHIEF METEOROLOGIST) 10:26
what we know about Atlantic hurricane season is that it's likely to be very busy.
(SOT: NOAA PRESS CONFERENCE)
"without further ado, let's dive into the numbers"
"17 to 25 named storms"
"8 to 13 are expected to become hurricanes"
"and 4 to 7 are forecasted to be major hurricanes. that's category 3 to 5"
"the forecast for named storms,hurricanes and major hurricanes is the highest its ever been for the May outlook"
(SOT: RICH SEGAL | METEOROLOGIST) :48
in normal season, we will see 14 named storms. That's tropical storms that reach winds of 39 miles per hour up to 73. We'll see seven hurricanes that when winds reach 74 miles per hour, and we'll see three major hurricanes and that's category three, four or five, when winds reach 111 miles per hour or higher.
(SOT: JOHN HOFMANN, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT FOR WATER | LCRA)
3:48
El Nino is in the process of going away. We'll go into a period of time where we're neutral
3:57
right now it's looking like we're gonna see La Nina come back late summer
(SOT: NICK BANNIN | CHIEF METEOROLOGIST
8:50
The El Nino La Nina pattern is basically a climate pattern, a ripple in the eastern equatorial Pacific that has an impact on our weather. We're basically caught in the middle.
(SOT: RICH SEGAL | METEOROLOGIST) 3:30
For a La Nina it means there'll be fewer storms in the eastern Pacific and more storms in the Atlantic basin, which includes the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico
(SOT: NICK BANNIN | CHIEF METEOROLOGIST) 9:57
if our hurricane season is busy and active Then our chances for storms to enter the Gulf of Mexico go up. And the chances that those storms that have an impact on our weather go up here this summer.
(NATBREAK)
(SOT: SUMMER OUTLOOK MOS) 15:54
I love the Gulf Coast so much. And I'm always, you know, hoping that a big hurricane doesn't get trapped in the Gulf and hit any of the places along along there.
(SOT: RICH SEGAL | METEOROLOGIST) 1:13
We haven't been hit by a hurricane in Texas for a while. The last one was in September of 2021 when Hurricane Nicolas hit at Matagorda peninsula with winds of 75 miles per hour
(SOT: NICK BANNIN | CHIEF METEOROLOGIST) 11:39
it could be our summer, it could be our year that we get impacted this year. It's too early to tell.
(SOT: RICH SEGAL | METEOROLOGIST) 1:54
if a tropical storm or a hurricane lands in just the right place somewhere along the lower half of the coast and travels up towards the hill country, we would be in line for some heavy rains and some very strong wind.
(SOT: NICK BANNIN | CHIEF METEOROLOGIST) 11:45
the odds are stacked in our favor that the chances of a gulf coast impact from a tropical system are higher this year.

Tropical Storm Beryl is forecast to restrengthen into a hurricane and make landfall on the Texas coast in the early hours of Monday morning, bringing dangerous conditions to the U.S. after it hammered parts of Mexico.
Much of the Texas coast was put under a hurricane warning Sunday. The National Hurricane Center warned of “life-threatening storm surge inundation” for coastal areas, as well as significant flooding.
Beryl, the first hurricane of the season, became the earliest storm ever to reach Category 5 in the Atlantic. It battered the Windward Islands in the southern Caribbean and Jamaica before making landfall in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula on Friday as a Category 2 storm.
It weakened to a tropical storm as it moved over the Yucatán, but it now could strengthen again into a hurricane as it approaches Texas. The storm is expected to make landfall near Corpus Christi at about 1 a.m. Monday.
“As Beryl approaches the Texas coast on Sunday, a dip in the jet stream will act like a magnet and pull the storm more to the north and northwest,” AccuWeather meteorologist Bernie Rayno said in a statement. “We expect Beryl to slow down as it approaches the Texas coast, and that could cause some big flooding problems.”
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) issued a preemptive disaster declaration for much of the state on Saturday in preparation for the storm’s impact.
“Beryl is a determined storm, and incoming winds and potential flooding will pose a serious threat to Texans who are in Beryl’s path at landfall and as it makes its way across the state for the following 24 hours,” Patrick said in a statement.
Parts of Texas could see up to 2 feet of rain, AccuWeather forecast, with much of the eastern parts of the state forecast for 8-12 inches of rain.
Beryl is forecast to turn east as it moves into the U.S., set to move toward Arkansas by Tuesday as a tropical depression and into Tennessee and Kentucky by Wednesday.
