 7 News First Alert Chief Meteorologist Veronica Johnson tells WTOP, Beryl is expected to become a Category 1 hurricane before it makes landfall early Monday. Conditions are expected to deteriorate, though, starting this evening. Damaging winds, storm surge, flooding, even a few quick spin-up tornadoes, all possible. Landfall, again, expected somewhere just east of Corpus Christi, Texas, with a storm surge near Matagorda Bay around 4 to 6 feet.
