Hurricane Beryl is currently on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, and is expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico Saturday. The trajectory has now shifted north and could take it to northern Mexico and southern Texas as a Category 1 Hurricane on Sunday night or early Monday morning.

This type of system typically results in heavy flooding. Crawford & Company is ready to assist those affected by its impact.

Hurricane Beryl is expected to enter the southwest Gulf of Mexico on Friday night or early Saturday. This movement is influenced by a high-pressure heat dome over the Southeast U.S. However, predicting Beryl's exact path remains uncertain once it reaches the Gulf of Mexico.

The heat dome over the Southeast U.S. is forecasted to weaken and move off the Southeast coast, creating a gap between it and another heat dome in the western U.S. This gap might cause Beryl to shift more northwest in the western Gulf of Mexico and slow down.

Due to these conditions, Beryl's path could vary widely, potentially affecting areas from eastern Mexico's Gulf Coast to Texas by Sunday or early Monday. Though Beryl is expected to weaken upon reaching the Southwest Gulf due to wind shear and land interaction, it could still bring significant impacts as either a tropical storm or hurricane. Some re-strengthening is anticipated before its final landfall.

Things to keep in mind:

• Coastal threats could begin as early as this weekend
• Onshore winds could increase surf, rip currents and coastal flooding from eastern Mexico to Texas and western Louisiana starting Saturday and continuing through Beryl's landfall.
• The rip current threat might extend farther east along the northern Gulf Coast.
