 Hurricane Beryl is now striking parts of Mexico, but forecasters now say that the cyclone will strike southern Texas next week. Hurricane Beryl is now slamming the eastern side of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. It is expected to weaken as it travels over the peninsula, but regain its strength when in the Gulf of Mexico. The latest forecast tracks from the National Hurricane Center show the very southeastern tip of Texas getting Beryl as a hurricane by early Monday.
