Remnants of Beryl have officially dissipated while another tropical disturbance located a few hundred miles away from the southeastern U.S. coast continues to stir in the Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Beryl remnants traveled to the northeast region Wednesday, two days after slamming the Texas coast and breaking records as the earliest Category 5 to form in the Atlantic. Since Wednesday, NHC forecasters have been tracking another tropical disturbance off the southeastern coast that has little chance of developing, but may bring rainfall to the Carolina coast late this week or into this weekend.
The chance of the system developing in the next couple of days before it moves inland is 10%. It does not pose a threat to Louisiana.
The impact of Beryl
Hurricane Beryl, the second named storm of the 2024 hurricane season, unleashed forceful winds and rising flood waters along the Texas coastline Monday.
Houston, Galveston and coastline areas were struck with flooding, damaging winds and storm surge after the hurricane made landfall. The Houston Chronicle reported that over 2 million Houston residents were without power, forcing two of the city's airports to halt operations.
Northeast Louisiana experienced the most impact in-state from the hurricane, including reported tornadoes and the death of a Benton woman. The southeast portion of the state faced some showers and thunderstorms.
So far this hurricane season, which takes place between June 1 and November 30, a tropical wave or hurricane has not directly impacted Louisiana.
