Hurricane Beryl Remnants Expected to Impact Missouri Hard

Yes, it's true that Missouri is about to be impacted by a real hurricane. No, it will not (hopefully) be a hurricane once it arrives, but whatever remains of Hurricane Beryl after it makes landfall will almost certainly impact Missouri hard.

As of this writing on Sunday afternoon, July 7, Beryl is now a tropical storm headed toward Texas. It is expected to regain hurricane strength before it makes landfall. Once it does, multiple computer models bring it directly over Missouri.

The National Weather Service in St. Louis, Missouri agrees that Missouri will see the remnants of Beryl impacting weather.

The cone of Beryl as it appears right now in the Gulf of Mexico as shared by NOAA also brings the path right over Missouri.

What this likely means for is heavy rain beginning in the southern part of the state Tuesday night based on its current speed. Note, there are some models that bring it further north in Missouri and recent gulf hurricane history shows that is likely to happen.

No, Hurricane Beryl (or tropical storm depending on when you're reading this) will not bring hurricane winds or that kind of intensity for Missouri. What it will bring is much-needed moisture though and it could cover nearly the entire state before it's done.
