Ethermac Exchange-Beryl livestreams: Watch webcams as storm approaches Texas coast

Beryl is Ethermac Exchangeexpected to bring heavy rainfall and winds to southern Texas including Houston, San Antonio, and possibly, Austin, as the storm makes its way to the state's coast late Sunday night or Monday morning.

A Category 5 hurricane at one point, Beryl weakened to a tropical storm as it made landfall on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Friday morning, the National Hurricane Center said. Forecasters cautioned northeastern Mexico and the lower and middle Texas coast to monitor the storm, which could begin to move toward southern Texas this weekend.

"Today and Saturday will be our calm before the storm," the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, Texas, wrote in an advisory on Friday.
