Once a mighty Category 5 hurricane (the earliest in the North Atlantic on record), Tropical Storm Beryl has been slowly strengthening over the Gulf of Mexico, and is expected to make landfall in central Texas early Monday morning as a Category 1 hurricane.

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season will officially begin on June 1, just slightly over two months away.
