Heavy rainfall, winds expected in North Texas from Hurricane Beryl, flooding may be possible


NORTH TEXAS — Sunday night, Beryl officially became a Hurricane again. North Texas can expect winds and heavy rainfall. Flash flooding is possible.

Beryl’s timing

12 a.m. – 2 a.m.: If any isolated storms to our northwest hold together Sunday night, this would be the timeframe they could reach DFW. 

2 a.m. – 5 a.m.: Isolated stray hit/miss showers could pop up across the region.

10 a.m. – 3 p.m.: Heavier showers and thunderstorms are possible in the metroplex and especially points to the east. If more showers and storms develop between the frontal boundary and Beryl, they could drop fast-hitting, heavy rainfall.

3 p.m. – 6 p.m.: Remaining activity should diminish or exit East/Northeast.

The latest track shifts a weakening Beryl further east of DFW.

All in all, the heaviest rainfall is trending east of the metroplex with a steep drop-off to the west of Beryl’s potential track. However, due to the interaction with the frontal boundary moving in from the northwest and Beryl, there certainly could be locally much higher amounts if stronger storms develop right over DFW.

Starting late week and amplifying into next week, a large upper-level ridge of high pressure will sit over the south and expand across the central and western United States. We could see extreme heat build back in for the extended forecast as a result.

For the 7-day forecast, Beryl and its associated activity exit the region quickly followed by more heat.

Texas leaders question federal handling of fatal ICE shooting


HOUSTON, Texas — Houston-area leaders on Saturday expressed frustration over what they described as a lack of cooperation from federal authorities following the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

The shooting happened on Tuesday during an immigration operation. Federal officials said an ICE agent shot and killed the 52-year-old after he allegedly rammed a law enforcement vehicle and refused verbal commands during a traffic stop.

Three men detained during the operation have disputed the federal account of what happened.
