Tropical Storm Beryl tracker: Forecast path and spaghetti models

e good Saturday morning I'm K1 meteorologist Chris is this is as of the latest from the 10 a advisory from the National Hurricane Center of course the next one from the National Hurricane Center will be back out at 400 p.m. and we could be looking at more updates with the forecast as we're getting a better understanding as barrel uh is heading closer towards the Texas coast it's still a ways away right now it is a tropical storm with winds at 60 M an hour moving West Northwest at 12 M an hour it is approximately 456 mil away from the Texas coast so there's still a lot of Gulf of Mexico uh to uh track over before it makes landfall and then in that time period we could see that strengthening back into our hurricane status just prior to landfall so looking at the latest track we are seeing of course this is actually looking at the uh the the ghost satellite imagery of those clouds that are associated with the storm as we look at the latest track we're expecting this to uh strengthen into a hurricane around Sunday evening just to landfall making landfall somewhere around Monday morning between Corpus Chrissy south of Matagorda so expecting this to be a tropical storm as it nears just to the west of the Houston area eventually tracking off towards the Northeast as we go into Tuesday into to Wednesday we're actually seeing that cone shrink just a little bit as we're getting a better understanding of course all of Southeast Texas was included under uh that forecast track now they're eliminating some areas across our areas uh especially east of Houston from from the track as that cone is expected to shrink going into the next 48 hours we are expecting some rain out of this so looking at the GFS American model uh the rain the heavier rainfall is going to be around the center of the storm the good news is that Barrel is not as big we're a to see that uh those orange and yellow colors that's where most of the heavier rain uh will be from this system so if you are watching in around from Victoria Edna even p portions of madag gorta bay even Austin San Antonio might even get some of the heavier rainfall as the storm tracks off towards the Northeast but here's the good news with this as we go into Tuesday afternoon we're expecting a Monday morning landfall Tuesday afternoon this system is already going to be off towards the Northeast tracking towards uh uh Louisiana in portions of Mississippi so this is going to be fast moving we hope that it's fast moving as we continue through the next 48 hours uh but lingering showers are possible at least through sun day but as we look at the rain accumulation some of us could get up to 5 to 7 in of rain right now the latest models is showing more of the heavier rainfall we're able to see those those orange Reds and those white colors that's where the heavier rainfall is expected that's the 5 to 7 in accumulation that's going to be mainly west of Houston even though we can't roll out a possible 3 to 4 inches of rain in some locations here across the Houston area and we just hope that it's not all at once and it's pretty much widespread but since this is a fast moving storm we are expecting this to be out of the area by Tuesday afternoon however hurricanes as they're approaching the coastal areas they do have some impacts of course that hurricane watch that's in effect from brz's port to port lavaka including pors of Corpus Christie to Port Mansfield but other thing to note is that storm surge watch we could see up to 2 to 5 ft of water inundation as this storm nears the Texas coast so a storm surge watch is in effect for Coastal Parris Galveston all the way down to brasport Port lavaka even Corpus Christie I think we're going to get up to 2 to 4 feet of a storming in storm surch inundation in around the Galveston area so just keep that in mind that if you are along the immediate Coast heed those warnings from the local officials in terms of evacuation warnings or possible uh land warnings as we go into the next few hours so storm surge watch in effect for us that's going to begin this evening as we look at the chance of winds at 30 9 mes an hour or greater it's going to be mostly uh towards the center of the storm like I said with the heavier rainfall so south of brazas Port Victoria you have a more greater chance of seeing some of those stronger winds going into the next 48 hours also we have to keep in mind of the possible severe weather threat that's associated with those outer rain bands that usually like to move away from a tropical storms and hurricanes so the Storm Prediction Center is giving portions of Southeast Texas a SL light risk for severe weather that's going to be tomorrow night into Monday morning so what that means is that we could see some possible strong to severe storms that could spit out a tornado or two going into the start of this next week so that tornado threat is going to be at play for our coastal areas that does include from Houston Galveston Angleton anaak south of Liberty and all the way down to El Campo in Bay City so the severe storm threat still at play uh as as the storm is going to be making landfall even though it's going to be making landfall just near south of Bay City just north of Corpus just keep in mind that those outer bands doesn't mean that we could still see some possible tornadoes with these with this storm as we go into the next few uh 48 hours to through Tuesday so looking at the Southeast Texas impacts we are expecting that increasing wind rain and Surf and rough Seas for all of our coastal areas no matter where the landfall is going to happen we're going to see heavy rain and a tornado threat for us here across Southeast Texas as well as that timing expecting it to be Sunday night through Tuesday evening uh for the start of next week so we are keeping that in the picture going into the next 7 Days the K1 weather team has issued a weather impact alert for Monday and Tuesday as we're going to see the impacts for Barrel it's expected to make landfall around uh Monday morning into Tuesday lingering into Tuesday but Wednesday through Friday we will see scattered showers and storms linger but we are expecting this storm to be out of the picture by Wednesday and Thursday so we are tracking and making those necessary preparations we could see some isolated showers later on this afternoon so if you see any rain this afternoon I'm recording this as of uh what time is it it's 10:45 on Saturday if you see any afternoon storms just keep in mind that those are associated with seab Breeze showers not really Barrel that are moving in from our coastal areas or Inland areas so expecting a r rather uh interesting next 48 hours as we head into Sunday and Monday but we are expecting that landfall uh to be at some point on Monday good Saturday morning I'm K1 meteorologist Chris Ramirez this is as of the latest from the 10: a.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center

feet of a storm in storm surge inundation in around the Galveston area so just keep that in mind that if you are along the immediate Coast heed those warnings from the local officials in terms of evacuation warnings or possible uh land warnings as we go into the next few hours so storm surge watch in effect for us that's going to begin this evening as we look at the chance of winds at 39 M an

approaching the coastal areas they do have some impacts of course that hurricane watch that's in effect from brz's port to port lavaka including portions of Corpus Christie to Port Mansfield but other thing to note is that storm surge watch we could see up to 2 to 5T of water inundation as this storm nears the Texas coast so a storm surge watch is in effect for Coastal Harris Galveston all the way down to brasport Port lavaka even Corpus Christie I think we're going to get up to 2 to 4T of a storm in storm surch inundation in around the Galveston area so just keep that in mind that if you are along the immediate Coast heed those warnings from the local officials in terms of evacuation warnings or possible uh land warnings as we go into the next few hours so storm surge watch in effect for us that's going to begin this evening as we look at the chance of winds at 39 mph or greater it's going to be mostly uh towards the center of the storm like I said with the heavier rainfall so south of brazas Port Victoria you have a more greater chance of seeing some of those stronger winds going into the next 48 hours also we have to keep in mind of the possible severe weather threat that's associated with those outer rainbands that usually like to move away from uh tropical storms and hurricanes so the Storm Prediction Center is giving portions of Southeast Texas a slight risk for severe weather that's going to be tomorrow night into Monday morning so what that means is that we could see some possible strong to severe storms that could spit out a tornado or two going into the start of this next week so that tornado threat is going to be at play for our coastal areas that does include from Houston Galveston Angleton anaak south of Liberty and all the way down to El Campo in Bay CI so the severe storm threat still at play uh as the storm is going to be making landfall even though it's going to be making landfall just uh near uh south of Bay City just north of Corpus just keep in mind that those outer bands doesn't mean that we could still see some possible tornadoes with these with this storm as we go into the next few uh 48 hours to through Tuesday so looking at the South East if Texas impacts we are expecting that increasing wind rain and Surf and rough Seas for all of our coastal areas no matter where the landfall is going to happen we're going to see heavy rain and a tornado threat for us here across Southeast Texas as well as that timing expecting it to be Sunday night through Tuesday evening uh for the start of next week so we are keeping that in the picture going into the next 7 Days the K1 weather team has issued a weather impact alert for Monday and Tuesday as we're going to see the impacts for Barrel it's expected to make landfall around Monday morning into Tuesday lingering into Tuesday but Wednesday through Friday we will see scattered showers and storms linger but we are expecting this storm to be out of the picture by Wednesday and Thursday so we are tracking and making those necessary preparations we could see some isolated showers later on this afternoon so if you see any rain this afternoon I'm recording this as of uh what time is it it's 10:45 on Saturday if you see any afternoon storms just keep in mind that those are associated with seab Breeze showers not really Barrel that are moving in from our coastal areas or inland area so expecting a rather uh interesting next 48 hours as we head into Sunday and Monday but we are expecting that landfall uh to be at some point on Monday good Saturday morning I'm K1 meteorologist Chris Ramirez this is as of the latest from the 10:00 a.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center of course the next one from the National Hurricane Center will be back out at 400 p.m. and we could be looking at more updates with the forecast as we're getting a better understanding as barrel uh is heading closer towards the Texas coast it's still a ways away right now it is a tropical storm with winds at 60 M an hour moving West Northwest at 12 mph it is approximately 456 Mi away from the Texas coast so there's still a lot of Gulf of Mexico uh to uh track over before it makes landfall and then in that time period we could see that strengthening back into a hurricane status just prior to landfall so looking at the latest track we are seeing of course this is actually looking at the uh the the ghost satellite imagery of those clouds that are associated with the storm as we look at the latest track we're expecting this to uh strengthen into a hurricane around Sunday evening just prior to landfall making landfall somewhere around Monday morning between Corpus Chrissy south of Matagorda so expecting this to be a tropical storm as it nears just to the west of the Houston area eventually tracking off towards the Northeast as we go into Tuesday into to Wednesday we're actually seeing that cone shrink just a little bit as we're getting a better understanding of course all of Southeast Texas was included under uh that forecast track now they're eliminating some areas across our areas especially east of Houston from from the track as that cone is expected to shrink going into the next 48 hours we are expecting some rain out of this so looking at the GFS American model uh the rain the heavier rainfall is going to be around the center of the storm the good news is that Barrel is not as big we're able to see that uh those orange and yellow colors that's where most most of the heavier rain will be from this system so if you are watching in around from Victoria Edna even portions of madag gorta bay even auson San Antonio might even get some of the heavier rainfall as the storm tracks off towards the Northeast but here's the good news with this as we go into Tuesday afternoon we're expecting a Monday morning landfall Tuesday afternoon this system is already going to be off towards the Northeast tracking towards uh uh Louisiana in portions of Mississippi so this is going to be fast moving we hope that it's fast moving as we continue through the next 48 hours uh but lingering showers are possible at least through Sunday but as we look at the rain accumulation some of us could get up to 5 to 7 Ines of rain right now the latest models is showing more of a heavier rainfall we're able to see those those orange Reds and those white colors that's where the heavier rainfall is expected that's the 5 to 7 in accumulation that's going to be mainly west of Houston even though we can't roll out a possible 3 to 4 Ines of rain in some locations here across the Houston area and we just hope that it's not all at once and it's pretty much widespread but since this is a fast moving storm we are expecting this to be out of the area by Tuesday afternoon however hurricanes as they're approaching the coastal areas they do have some impacts of course that hurricane watch that's in effect from brz's port to port laaka including ports to Corpus chrisy to Port Mansfield but other thing to note is that storm surge watch we could see up to 2 to 5 ft of water inundation at as this storm nears the Texas coast so a storm surge watch is in effect for Coastal Harris Galveston all the way down to brasport Port lavaka even Corpus Christie I think we're going to get up to 2 to four feet of a storm in storm surch inundation in around the Galveston area so just keep that in mind that if you are along the immediate Coast heed those warnings from the local officials in terms of evacuation warnings or possible uh land warnings as we go into the

south of Bay City just north of Corpus just keep in mind that those outer bands doesn't mean that we could still see some possible tornadoes with these with this storm as we go into the next few uh 48 hours two through Tuesday so looking at the Southeast Texas impacts we are expecting that increas increasing wind rain and Surf and rough Seas for all of our coastal areas no matter where the landfall

linger but we are expecting this storm to be out of the picture by Wednesday and Thursday so we are tracking and making those necessary prepar ations we could see some isolated showers later on this afternoon so if you see any rain this afternoon I'm recording this as of uh what time is it it's 10:45 on Saturday if you see any afternoon storms just keep in mind that those are associated with seab Breeze showers not really Barrel that are moving in from our coastal areas or Inland areas so expecting a rather uh interesting next 48 hours as we head into Sunday and Monday but we are expecting that landfall uh to be at some point on Monday good Saturday morning MK 11 meteorologist Chris Ramirez this is as of the latest from the 10 aim advisory from the National Hurricane Center of course the next one from the National Hurricane Center will be back out at 400 p.m. and we could be looking at more updates with the forecast as we're getting a better understanding as barrel uh is heading closer towards the Texas coast it's still a ways away right now it is a tropical storm with winds at 60 M an hour moving West Northwest at 12 M an hour it is approximately 456 Mi away from the Texas coast so there's still a lot of Gulf of Mexico uh to uh track over before it makes landfall and then in that time period we could see that strengthening back into a hurricane status just prior to landfall so looking at the latest track we are seeing of course this is actually looking at the uh the the ghost satellite imagery of those clouds that are associated with the storm as we look at the latest track we're expecting this to uh strengthen into a hurricane around Sunday evening just prior to landfall making landfall somewhere around Monday morning between Corpus Chrissy south of Matagorda so expecting this to be a tropical storm as it nears just to the west of the Houston area eventually tracking off towards the northe east as we go into Tuesday into to Wednesday we're actually seeing that cone shrink just a little bit as we're getting a better understanding of course all of Southeast Texas was included under uh that forecast track now they're eliminating some areas across our areas especially east of Houston from from the track as that cone is expected to shrink going into the next 48 hours we are expecting some rain out of this so looking at the GFS American model uh the rain the heavier rainfall is going to be around the center of the storm the good news is that Barrel is not as big we're to see that uh those orange and yellow colors that's where most of the heavier rain will be from this system so if you are watching in and around from Victoria Edna even portions of Matagorda Bay even Austin San Antonio might even get some of the heavier rainfall as the storm tracks off towards the Northeast but here's the good news with this as we go into Tuesday afternoon we're expecting a Monday morning landfall Tuesday afternoon this system is already going to be off towards the Northeast tracking towards uh uh Louisiana in portions of Mississippi so this is going to be fast moving we hope that it's fast moving as we continue through the next 48 hours uh but lingering showers are possible at least through Sunday but as we look at the rain accumulation some of us could get up to 5 to 7 Ines of rain right now the latest models is showing more of the heavier rainfall we're able to see those those orange Reds and those white colors that's where the heavier rainfall is expected that's the 5 to 7 in accumulation that's going to be mainly west of Houston even though we can't roll out a possible 3 to four Ines of rain in some locations here across the Houston area and we just hope that it's not all at once and it's pretty much widespread but since is a fast moving storm we are expecting this to be out of the area by Tuesday afternoon however hurricanes as they're approaching the coastal areas they do have some impacts of course that hurricane watch that's in effect from brz's port to port lavaka including portions of Corpus Christie to Port Mansfield but other thing to note is that storm surge watch we could see up to 2 to 5 feet of water inundation as this storm nears the Texas coast so a storm surge watch is in effect for Coastal Harris Galveston all the way down to brasport Port lavaka even Corpus Christie I think we're going to get up to two to 4 feet of a storm in storm surch inundation in around the Galveston area so just keep that in mind that if you are along the immediate Coast heed those warnings from the local officials in terms of evacuation warnings or possible uh land warnings as we go into the next few hours so storm surge watch in effect for us that's going to begin this evening as we look at the ch of winds at 39 mph or greater it's going to be mostly uh towards the center of the storm like I said with the heavier rainfall so south of brz's Port Victoria you have a more greater chance of seeing some of those stronger winds going into the next 48 hours also we have to keep in mind of the possible severe weather threat that's associated with those outer rain bands that usually like to move away from uh tropical storms and hurricanes so the Storm Prediction Center is giving portions of Southeast Texas a slight risk for severe weather that's going to be tomorrow night into Monday morning so with that means is that we could see some possible strong to severe storms that could spit out a tornado or two going into the start of this next week so that tornado threat is going to be at play for our coastal areas that does include from Houston Galveston Angleton anaak south of Liberty and all the way down to El Campo in Bay CI so the severe storm threat still at play uh as the storm is going to be making landfall even though it's going to be making landfall just near south of Bay City just north of Corpus just keep in mind that those outer bands doesn't mean that we could still see some possible tornadoes with these with this storm as we go into the next few uh 48 hours to through Tuesday so looking at the Southeast Texas impacts we are expecting that increasing wind rain and Surf and rough Seas for all of our coastal areas no matter where the landfall is going to happen we're going to see heavy rain and a tornado threat for us here across Southeast Texas as well as that timing expecting it to be Sunday night through Tuesday evening uh for the start of next week so we are keeping that in the picture going into the next seven days the K1 weather team has issued a weather impact alert for Monday and Tuesday as we're going to see the impacts for Barrel it's expected to make landfall around Monday morning into Tuesday lingering into Tuesday but Wednesday through Friday we will see scattered showers and storms linger but we are expecting this storm to be out of the picture by Wednesday and Thursday so we are tracking and making those necessary preparations we could see some isolated showers later on this afternoon so if you see any rain this afternoon I'm recording this as of uh what time is it it's 10:45 on Saturday if you see any afternoon storms just keep in mind that those are associated with seab Breeze showers not really Barrel that are moving in from our coastal areas or inland areas so expecting a rather uh interesting next 48 hours as we head into Sunday and Monday but we are expecting that landfall uh to be at some point on Monday good Saturday morning I'm K meteorologist Chris Ramirez this is as of the latest from the 10 a.m advisory from the National Hurricane Center of course the next one from the National Hurricane Center will be back out at 400 p.m. and we could be looking at more updates with the

that it's fast moving as it we continue through the next 48 hours uh but lingering showers are possible at least through Sunday but as we look at the rain accumulation some of us could get up to 5 to

e now to give us some insight into this storm Michael first what's the latest the NHC is seeing in Barrel's track well the track has not changed a whole lot since last night we're still expecting a West northwestward motion uh during the day today and then more of a northward turn that's going to bring the center of barrel you know very close to the coast of uh of lower and middle Texas coast as we go through the day on Monday so we're still expecting Barrel to to re-intensify and re hurricane strength uh by the time it gets to the coast and we could see some pretty quick strengthening here as the environment gets really favorable so we're looking at again multiple life-threatening hazards uh the potential for life-threatening storm surge inundation hurricane force winds and very heavy rainfall along portions of the Texas Gulf Coast that heavy rainfall threat is going to extend well Inland as well and with all of that what do you want the people of Southeast Texas to know today well today is really your day to prepare you know conditions are going to start to deteriorate during the day tomorrow and especially to tomorrow night and into Monday so folks who are in this storm surge watch area you know uh G basically all the way up to High Island you have the potential for life-threatening inundation we could see 2 to four feet of inundation above ground level uh in places like the boulevard Peninsula up into Galveston Bay so if you live in a area that's prone to storm surge you want to take precautions today get ready to uh protect your home your property uh if there are any evacuation orders you should leave if you've been asked to by your local officials uh and again in terms of the timing we're really looking at the tropical storm force winds reaching you know portions of the Texas coast Sunday evening so you have today Saturday and most of the day tomorrow to continue to get ready for the storm and uh and make any preparations you need to make all right Michael so how challenging Has This Storm been to track well it's been a challenging storm you know barrels had you know been got very powerful in the Caribbean Sea category 4 Category 5 hurricane devastating impacts then it as it's moved across the Yucatan Peninsula on Friday the storm is weaken uh right now it's a tropical storm with a maximum winds around 60 MPH but we are expecting it to as it moves over those Gulf Waters and gets into a more favorable environment to re-intensify and again the track here is a little challenging too because with a track sort of parallel to the coast it doesn't make take a huge shift away to say the right of our track to have landfall much farther up the Texas Coast or to the left of the track to have it come in farther south so that's why we've issued such a big hurricane watch that goes all the way from the mouth of the Rio Grand all the way up to St Louis pass and with that storm surge watch for the potential of that life-threatening surge inundation all the way up to High Island all right so what will the next 24 hours look like well we're only expecting very slow intensification through the day today and even into overnight tonight and early Sunday morning and then expecting more quick intensification as Barrel approaches the Texas coast basically starting during the day Sunday and continuing up through landfall so we are expecting Barrel to intensify and regain hurricane intensity after that time it's going to move quickly Inland and uh yeah I do want to touch quickly on the rainfall threat we are looking at the potential for 5 to 10 Ines of rain uh widespread totals with isolated amounts as high as 15 in along the Texas Gulf Coast and Inland over East Texas beginning Sunday and continuing into the middle uh of next week so a potentially multi-day heavy rainfall event with the potential for pretty some pretty significant flash flooding in areas all right Michael Brennan with the National Hurricane Center thank you so much for joining us this morning thank you Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan is joining us now to give us some insight into this storm Michael first what's the latest the NHC is seeing in Barrel's track well the track has not changed a whole lot since last night we're still expecting a West northwestward motion uh during the day today and then more of a northward turn that's

for life-threatening inundation we could see 2 to 4 ft of inundation above ground level uh in places like the boulevard Peninsula up into galvaston Bay so if you live in a area that's prone to storm surge you want to take precautions today get ready to uh protect your home your property uh if there are any evacuation orders you should leave if you've been asked to by your local officials uh and

watch for the potential of that life-threatening surge inundation all the way up to High Island all right so what will the next 24 hours look like well we're only expecting very slow intensification through the day today and even into overnight tonight and early Sunday morning and then expecting more quick intensification as Barrel approaches the Texas coast basically starting during the day Sunday and continuing up through landfall so we are expecting Barrel to intensify and regain hurricane intensity after that time it's going to move quickly Inland and uh yeah I do want to touch quickly on the rainfall threat we are looking at the potential for 5 to 10 Ines of rain uh widespread totals with isolated amounts as high as 15 in along the Texas Gulf Coast and Inland over East Texas beginning Sunday and continuing into the middle uh of next week so a potentially multi-day heavy rainfall event with a potential for pretty some pretty significant flash flooding in areas all right Michael Brennan with the National Hurricane Center thank you so much for joining us this morning thank you Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan is joining us now to give us some insight into this storm Michael first what's the latest the NHC is seeing in Barrel's track well the track has not changed a whole lot since last night we're still expecting a West northwestward motion uh during the day today and then more of a northward turn that's going to bring the center of barrel you know very close to the coast of uh of of lower and middle Texas coast as we go through the day on Monday so we're still expecting Barrel to reintensification Hurricane force winds and very heavy rainfall along portions of the Texas Gulf Coast that heavy rainfall threat is going to extend well Inland as well and with all of that what do you want the people of Southeast Texas to know today well today is really your day to prepare you know conditions are going to start to deteriorate during the day tomorrow and especially to tomorrow night and into Monday so folks who are in this storm surge watch area you know uh G basically all the way up to High Island you have the potential for life-threatening inundation we could see 2 to 4 feet of inundation above ground level uh in place like the boulevard Peninsula up into galvaston Bay so if you live in a area that's prone to storm surge you want to take precautions today get ready to uh protect your home your property uh if there are any evacuation orders you should leave if you've been asked to by your local officials uh and again in terms of the timing we're really looking at the tropical storm force winds reaching you know portions of the Texas coast Sunday evening so you have today Saturday and most of the day tomorrow to continue to get ready for the storm and uh and make any preparations you to make all right Michael so how challenging Has This Storm been to track well it's been a challenging storm you know barrels had you know been got very powerful in the Caribbean Sea category 4 Category 5 hurricane devastating impacts then as it's moved across the Yucatan Peninsula on Friday the storm is weaken uh right now it's a tropical storm with the maximum winds around 60 MPH but we are expecting it to as it moves over those Gulf Waters and gets into a more favorable environment to reintensification and again the track here is a little challenging too because with a track sort of parallel to the coast it doesn't make take a huge shift away to say the right of our track to have landfall much farther up the Texas Coast or to the left of the track to have it come in farther south so that's why we've issued such a big hurricane watch that goes all the way from the mouth of the Rio Grand all the way

we're only expecting very slow intensification through the day today and even into overnight tonight and early Sunday morning and then expecting more quick intensification as Barrel approaches the Texas coast basically starting during the day Sunday and continuing up through landfall so we are expecting a barrel to intensify and regain hurricane intensity after that time it's going to move quickly Inland and uh you I do want to touch quickly on the rainfall threat we are looking at the potential for 5 to 10 in of rain uh widespread totals with isolated amounts as high as 15 Ines along the Texas Gulf Coast and Inland over East Texas beginning Sunday and continuing into the middle uh of next week so a potentially multi-day heavy rainfall event with a potential for pretty some pretty significant flash flooding in areas all right Michael Brennan with the National Hurricane Center thank you so much for joining us this morning thank you Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan is

Texas coast as we go through the day on Monday so we're still expecting Barrel to reintensification by the time it gets to the coast and we could see some pretty quick strengthening here as the environment gets really favorable so we're looking at again multiple life-threatening hazards uh the potential for life-threatening storm surge inundation hurricane force winds and very heavy rainfall along portions of the Texas Gulf Coast that heavy rainfall threat is going to extend well Inland as well and with all of that what do you want the people of Southeast Texas to know today well today is really your day to prepare you know conditions are going to start to deteriorate during the day tomorrow and especially to tomorrow night and into Monday so folks who are in this storm surge watch area you know uh G basically all the way up to High Island you have the potential for life-threatening inundation we could see 2 to four feet of inundation above ground level uh in places like the

how challenging Has This Storm been to track well it's been a challenging storm you know barrels had you know been got very powerful in the Caribbean Sea category 4 Category 5 hurricane devastating impacts then as it's moved across the Yucatan Peninsula on Friday the storm is weaken right now it's a tropical storm with the maximum winds around 60 mes per hour but we are expecting it to as it moves over those Gulf Waters and gets into a more favorable environment to reintensification hurricane watch that goes all the way from the mouth of the Rio Grand all the way up to St Louis pass and

surge you want to take precautions today get ready to uh protect your home your property uh if there are any evacuation orders you should leave if you're been asked to by your local officials uh and again in terms of the timing we're really looking at the tropical storm force winds reaching you know portions of the Texas coast Sunday evening so you have today Saturday and most of the day tomorrow to continue to get ready for the storm and uh and make any preparations you need to make all right Michael so how challenging Has This Storm been to track well it's been a challenging storm you know barrels had you know been got very powerful in the Caribbean Sea category 4 Category 5 hurricane devastating impacts then it as it's moved across the Yucatan Peninsula on Friday the storm is weakened uh right now it's a tropical storm with a maximum winds around 60 MPH but we are expecting it to as it moves over those Gulf Waters and gets into a more favorable environment to re-intensify and again the track here is a little challenging too because with a track sort of parallel to the coast it doesn't make take a huge shift away to say the right of our track to have landfall much farther up the Texas Coast or to the left of the track to have it come in farther south so that's why we've issued such a big hurricane watch that goes all the way from the mouth of the Rio Grand all the way up to St Louis pass and with that storm surge watch for the potential of that life-threatening surge inundation all the way up to High Island all right so what will the next 24 hours look like well we're only expecting very slow intensification through the day today and even into overnight tonight and early Sunday morning and then expecting more quick intensification as Barrel approaches to Texas coast uh basically starting during the day Sunday and continuing up through landfall so we are expecting Barrel to intensify and regain hurricane intensity after that time it's going to move quickly Inland and uh yeah I do want to touch quickly on the rainfall threat we are looking at the potential for 5 to 10 in of rain uh widespread totals with isolated amounts as high as 15 in along the Texas Gulf Coast and Inland over East Texas beginning Sunday and continuing into the middle uh of next week so a potentially multi-day heavy rainfall event with a potential for pretty some pretty significant flash flooding in areas all right Michael Brennan with the National Hurricane Center thank you uh in the offshore Waters out over the Gulf of Mexico we've seen some heavy rainfall also developed in portions of Southeast Texas this afternoon setting the stage for what's going to be a prolonged heavy rainfall event across much of the Texas Gulf Coast and into East Texas uh into portions of next week so let's talk first about the storm surge we've got a storm surge warning that's now been issued from the north entrance of the South Padre Island National Seashore all the way up to San Louis pass that includes places like Corpus Christie Bay mosquit Bay Matagorda Bay uh we are looking at the danger of life-threatening inundation from storm surge everywhere you see in this dark purple area and if we get to the expected storm surge inundation that we're going to see in here somewhere between mosquite Bay and Sergeant including Matagorda Bay we expect to see 4 to 6 feet of inundation above ground level uh in this areas this is the area we're most concerned about but also could see expecting to see 3 to 5T from Sargeant up to Stan Louis pass and also south of mosqu Bay down to the north entrance of the South Padre alley National Seashore we also have a storm surge watching effect up in the alviston Bay uh where we could see 2 to 4T of inundation in that region and also up to sabean pass uh near the Texas Louisiana border so again potential for widespread storm surge inundation with Barrel as the system makes landfall Sunday night and Monday morning that's when we're going to see those highest water levels so if you live in these storm surge warning areas uh know if you live in a storm surge evacuation Zone you may be asked to leave or uh voluntary evacuation requested by your local officials please comply with any evacuation orders you have through tonight and through most of the day tomorrow to get to a safe place out of that storm surge evacuation Zone and uh so again have that evacuation plan in place and this is a time to put it into motion if you've been asked to do so by your local officials on the uh wind front we've now issued a hurricane warning uh from Baffin Bay up to Sargent and with a tropical storm warning now from north of Sargent up to High Island and south of Baffin Bay down to the mouth of the Rio Grand and into Northeastern Mexico uh we are expecting Barrel to reach a more favorable environment and rest strengthen to a hurricane uh by tomorrow and then continue strengthening as it approaches the Texas coast uh tomorrow night and early Monday and uh again anywhere in this hurricane warning area you have to prepare as if you're going to experience hurricane force winds you know when you want to uh put shutters up uh tie down anything loose outside gather anything secure your home this is the time to get that done you're going to have during the most of the day tomorrow into at least to the early afternoon hours before those tropical storm conditions arrive but again you just have a few hours left less than a day to get ready for this event and you don't want to pay too much attention to the exact track forecast there's a reason we put up this Hurricane Warning here for this wide area if the storm makes a little bit to a left turn it's going to come in uh farther down the lower Texas coast little right turn it's going to come up closer to that San Louis pass area so everywhere in here needs to prepare it won't take much of a change in the eventual track of the center to bring those hurricane conditions on Shore anywhere in that hurricane warning area now again looking at the timing uh farther south we could see those tropical storm Force conditions begin during the day Sunday uh been up by late Sunday afternoon early Sunday evening within that hurricane warning area and then uh advancing Inland there is an inland risk of tropical storm conditions uh across portions of south of the mid Texas coast and into Southeast Texas as well so be on the lookout for any tropical storm Watches or Warnings issued for Inland areas there next we'll move on to the rainfall rainfall is going to be a big story with Barrel as the system moves Inland and it's going to bring very heavy rainfall to portions of the Texas Gulf Coast especially near where landfall occurs and also much of East Texas as the system moves slowly North northeastward Inland over the day during the day Monday and into Tuesday and even into Wednesday we could see widespread rainfall totals of 5 to 10 in across this region with isolated totals as high as 15 in uh across portions of uh Eastern Texas and so that's very concerning from a flooding perspective uh we're most concerned about this area here as we get into the day on Monday that includes Houston Palestine Brian College Station Victoria down from that area where light barrels likely to make landfall up along the track of the center that's where we have a level three out of four risk for flash flooding so again if you're in a flood prone area even well Inland uh the winds don't really matter when you get that far inland as far as the rainfall being a big threat regardless of how strong this storm is from wind perspective so be on look out for flood watches and warnings that could be issued for your area no where you're going to go how you're going to keep yourself safe if you live in a flood PR area and water begins to rise where you are onto the tornado front we have a risk of tornadoes starting late Sunday into Sunday especially along much of the Texas coast from the Houston galon area all the way down to Corpus Christie in the right front quadrant of barrel circulation as those rain bands begin to move onshore we could see tornadoes and tropical storm and Hurrican rain bands can spin up very quickly and can be damaging in some cases so you're going to again want to have multiple ways to get emergency information and weather alerts anywhere in these hurricane storm surge warning areas make sure you have no weather radio wireless urgency alerts turned on on your phone so that you have a way especially way to be alerted and you can get to safy do you want again touch on the r this is a big Hurricane Center Director Michael BR is joining us now to give us some into this through into early next week so please he any advice or those morning flags at the beach and please stay out of the water if the ocean does not appear safe so we'll wrap up here with some key messages we have that danger of life threatening storm surge all the way from the north entrance of the South Padre Allen National sea shore up to San Louis pass uh there's the expectation of hurricane force winds occurring somewhere in that hurricane warning area from Baff and beta Sergeant uh so if you're in those areas pay attention to any advice you're given by your local officials and Rush those preparations to protect your life and property to completion we are expecting Flash and urban flooding some of which which could be pretty considerable across portions of the Texas Gulf Coast and Eastern Texas as we go from Sunday through the middle of next week with River flooding also possible I do want to finally mention that risk of rip currents along much of the Gulf Coast so uh during the next you know 24 to 36 hours 48 hours let's keep checking in for the latest updates on Barrel from here at the National Hurricane Center at hurricanes.gov uh you can find your local National Weather Service office at weather.gov and find information local to your area including all the watches and warnings that are in effect and again just a reminder to have multiple ways to get emergency information through no weather radio wireless emergency alerts on your phone or or smartphone apps as well so again we'll keep uh checking in with you from here at the National Hurricane Center through the day tomorrow and Monday as we uh deal with barrels expected landfall along the Texas coast as a hurricane I'm Mike Brennan thanks for joining us uh from here at the National Hurricane Center I'm Warren Sidle and I'm jeie Sidle we're Texas Farm Bureau members living in dwick county and we raise commercial cattle and hay the Texas F Bureau Health Plan was something I was really excited about we we were looking for something with lower premium options but great coverage when I had called in my experience was great I called uh people that I talked to were absolutely perfect they helped me with the application process and made it easy it lowered the premiums to about a quarter of what we were paying the coverage is even better than what we had before even with such a lower price I was able to choose the doctor I wanted so that was very a blessing to be able to do what I wanted and hand the coverage under the old plan we had to go to our primary physician for our initial visit and then get a referral now if our doctor is in our Network we just call and make an appointment directly with them we are self-paid for our insurance and so the savings each month is significant jeie and I are on the plan and so are our two College age kids which the coverage is even better because they don't have to come home to our designated Network doctor that we had before they can go to the doctor wherever they are especially if they're out of town on school projects if something comes up what is great about the application process is you do not have to be a for Bureau member to begin it you can go through do your application and see if you qualify and are satisfied with the premiums they're offering but I look at it as the single biggest advantage of being a Farm Bureau member I'm on this because I want to protect my family it's exceptional coverage it's a great policy and it will save you money and the coverage is better we can see more doctors we can see the doctors that we want to so I recommend it to people that I visit with just for the fact I know it helps us and it will help [Music] them did you know paying your bills on time raises your credit score

your screen and watching this special video right now a hurricane rips through the Caribbean called in Devastation but alarm too among climate scientists it is the fiercest and earliest ever Atlantic storm a direct result of global warming experts say why is this storm causing so much concern globally this is Inside Story [Music] hello there welcome to the program I'm Nick Clark a storm like no other that's how Hurrican Barrel is being described as it batters the Caribbean it's left Devastation and destruction in its wake and more is expected warnings about climate change and global warming are reported daily in media right around the world but this storm's timing its speed and its intensity is causing concern among scientists globally we'll find out more about both the local and The Wider impact of Hurrican Barrel later in the program with our guests and we'll take a closer look at the science behind this particular storm with our senior meteorologist Rob Meli but first let's have this report from um Kum Sharif hurricane Barrel is breaking records as it tears to the Caribbean it made landfall on Granada's Karu Island on Monday flattening about 90% of homes it's the strongest storm to hit the Southeastern Caribbean in two decades to see this level of Destruction it is almost amagon like almost total damage or destruction of all buildings whether they be public buildings homes or other private facilities There is almost complete destruction of the electrical grid system in Karu the entire communication system is completely destroyed some people who lost their homes on Ian Island a tiny crop in the St Vincent and the Grenadines archipelago arrived in the Jamaican Capital with Tales of what it was like in the middle of the storm I survived in a in my tired area because the top cast it was a hard four hours battling you know you like a movie where you just have a lot of Devastation that is how you don't like it it it's in a mess on Tuesday Barrel weakened to a category 4 storm but remained destructive across the region from the Dominican Republic to Cancun in Mexico people rush to stock up and take shelter in Venezuela the storm brought heavy rains to the Northern State of sucra a river burst its banks triggering floods several people have died or been reported [Music] missing there are 8,000 houses with various levels of damage we've already responded civil protection teams are working with the Army to document the damage they told me at least 400 houses are completely lost barel is the first hurricane of the Atlantic season and the earliest storm on record to be classified as the maximum Category 5 National Weather Service planes are trying to gather data to understand more about Barrel's intensity and structure scientists site man-made climate change for the storm's rapid strengthening and and their warnings of an extraordinary season ahead ulum Sharif Al jazer for inside story so what is the science behind this storm and what might just happen next to explain here's our senior meteorologist Rob Mel Barrel is a noteworthy major hurricane you already know this this much now from the point of view of what it looks like from space it's huge it goes from the coast of Venezuela right up Beyond barbos and St Lucia both of which found the effects quite unpleasant but the devastation was near the eye it's a beautiful eye near Granada now in September we'd think this is a major hurricane happens every one 20 years or so and not surprising but it's July and there's the worry it's a unique storm it formed in June became in 24 hours a category 4 hurricane that's never happened before and then it's the earliest Category 5 in July with winds well in excess of 250 kilm per hour this is how they can categorized it's the winds just around the inside of the AE the strongest winds there isn't a category six so Category 5 will just go up and up as the storms get worse now barrel of course is fed like every tropical storm by the warmth of the surface water and it is warmer in the Atlantic and the Caribbean by two or 3 degrees above the long-term averages this isn't going to change it might even get worse might get warmer still so you're inserting more energy for every storm that forms hence Barrel early and major and barrels still going barreling through the Caribbean which is warmer than normal past Jamaica still as a category for storm slowly losing energy as it goes further west admittedly but what does this say for our season well in fact the season was already forecast to be rather worse than normal could have up to 25 named storms well above the average maybe seven major hurricans as category three or above the average is three we've had one already and the drivers are as you know the warmer water which is everywhere but certainly in the hurricane paths and lanino which is the pendulum swing almost the opposite of El Nino it just adds more impetus so the conditions are ripe for a very nasty season and you've seen how it started all right let's take this on we can bring in our guest now in Orlando in Florida is Daniel Guilford he's a meteorologist and Atmospheric scientist who focuses on how climate change affects Amic an heat and local communities R Maria Pierre is in Bridgetown in Barbados which has just been battered indeed by Huracan barrel and she's the Caribbean delegation spokesperson for the International Federation of the Red Cross and red crescent societies and takes the technical lead on evolving crises and disasters and Y Sano is in Manila he's the southeast Asia executive director of Green Peace and a former climate negotiator for the Philippines government a warm welcome to all of you let's go straight to the region first of all uh re R Maria Pierre you are deploying Red Cross Personnel to get in and try and help with this catastrophic situation what are your eyewitnesses saying about the severity of this hurricane hey so good morning good afternoon and good evening to all your viewers uh I am raised here in Barbados in Bridgetown and I weather the storm with the Barbadian population on Sunday into Monday morning uh here in Bridgetown in Barbados the dation on the south coast in particular was immense I mean over 200 fishing vessels have been destroyed over 20 boats sank there was major damage to the port of Bridgetown and then we also had damage to the Fisheries industry but even that synopsis pales in comparison to what we're seeing in Grenada we have Red Cross staff and volunteers stationed in Grenada and I mean to live through that it's the devastation is immense uh as you saw earlier on in the program karaku has been completely demarcated 98% of an island is gone the communications on karaku are still down people are still trying to make contact with their friends and their families every building has not gone untouched I mean that's just two we have eight countries that are in the path of barrel I mean it's it's amazing to to think about the destruction and the devastation in Union Island in St Vincent and the Grenadines the communications are still down the airport has been lost schools churches the main hospital all destroyed uh and it's it's keeping going as we speak hurricane Barrel would be impacting Jamaica and the point is R what we must absolutely emphasize here is that just how early this has come in the season in what is predicted be a very severe hurricane season I mean it's July the main part of the hurricane season typically in the Caribbean is around September into November and maybe the beginning of October that's quite a ways away we have and we have more barrels to look forward to if we really take a look at the forecast and we have to think about what these constant impacts on the region are having it's the first storm of the season and it has gone through eight countries well projected to go through eight countries so far is this really what we need to expect for the next few months in the region okay well let's ask that question now to Daniel Guilford Daniel you grew up on the Florida coast I understand not so far from the Caribbean you grew up observing it big storms barreling in h as a climate scientist now you also have deep knowledge of the climate systems now we have as R was just saying the earliest Category 5 hurricane ever how surprised are you at this and how concerned are you for the season ahead yeah well hurricanes are are kind of like giant heat engines they take energy from the ocean's surface kind of like what Rob mentioned earlier and they convert it into they take it as fuel convert it into wind speed and so what we seeing out there in the Atlantic right now are very warm sea surface temperatures unseasonably warm as you mentioned earlier these conditions are kind of like what you would expect in September uh and so these Hur this hurricane Barrel that is moving through is really seeing conditions that are unlike anything we've ever seen before this unprecedented toll on the storm is is having unprecedented impacts and we are quite concerned you know it is only just July and we're seeing September like impacts uh so what does this mean for the rest of the season certainly the sea surface temperatures out there are remaining warm as long as African wave these sort of disturbances in the atmosphere keep rolling off the African Coast we we're going to have those warm Waters and there's plenty of fuel available for these storms uh to sort of uh develop and then begin to grow uh so we are certainly concerned that in line with many of the predictions out of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other other groups that have made predictions about the season that it will be an extremely active one and that this is probably not the end of the 2024 hurricane season it's actually just the beginning so we are concerned about what these impacts are and we just are very cognizant that that if you're along one of the coastlines in the Caribbean or the Gulf or the even the Eastern Seaboard United States uh this is going to be a time where you need to pay careful attention to what's happening in the tropics Daniel just just take this on a little bit further you say that the warming ocean is a driver of this of these hurricans why is it that warmer ocean temperatures fuel hurricanes and big storms and Cyclones yeah that's a wonderful question so a hurricane is almost like the engine in your car as you push down the accelerator fuel comes into your engine and starts to make it turn and and speed up and and and a hurricane is very similar it needs some sort of fuel source and on our planet that fuel source is the warm ocean temperatures we we're seeing warm ocean temperatures that are quite a bit warmer than we would have seen this time of year uh in in past years something like two degrees Celsius warmer and this can have big impacts on these hurricanes because you add more fuel to them they can spin faster and faster they have that opportunity to grow into the real monsters like the hurricane Barrel that we're seeing right now and so that fuel source is sticking around those warm ocean temperatures aren't going anywhere this season and so we expect these hurricanes as they begin to develop in this area they can see that fuel source they can take advantage of it take that potential energy that is stored in the ocean and convert it into kinetic energy in the form of winds that can really provide a lot of the damages that we're seeing right now uh in in in the region and so as we think about what's going to be happening going forward a lot of this heat as Rob mentioned is here to stay climate change has sort of Trapped more energy in the earth in the Earth's atmosphere that energy eventually gets down into the ocean a surface which then provides a lot of warmth for these storms to be able to fuel up with uh so this is something that is a major concern for us and climate change Sor to jum in there it's climate change is being fued bossil fuel emissions creating kind of a kind of blanket around the earth y s so what's being experienced in the Caribbean now is being experienced right around the world very familiar scen of course in the Philippines where you are what are your thoughts about what we're seeing in the Caribbean in the context of the uh worsening effects of climate change especially in the Philippines yes just watching the news coverage and listening to Ria right now is certainly reminiscent of uh the series of uh devastating storms that we've seen uh for the past many years uh and and certainly the one that hit my hometown in Tan City super typhoon hyan in 2013 and super typhoon Ry just three years ago uh which uh indicates for us uh you know most of these typhoons have become more destructive and uh carrying so much intensity uh and it aligns with what uh the intergovernmental panel in climate change is saying around the uh more frequency of Category 3 to5 tropical storms and uh that's very worrying and I can only imagine the suffering that's happening in the Caribbean right now I've seen it with my own eyes here uh where we live uh and uh and I can only really sympathize and uh and uh and pray for uh the best for those who are still struggling to pick up the pieces and and racing against time to save lives uh and homes Ria what are the global discussions around climate change in relation to hurricans like this are the voices of those countries like those in the Caribbean indeed in the Philippines in the Pacific those countries in the in the crosshairs of climate crisis like these are those voices being heard I think situation like this Force Caribbean voices to be heard how many more barrels are we going to have to live through we have gone through hurricane Maria and Irma in 2017 we had hurricane Dorian in 2019 and now we're here again with hurricane Barrel as the strongest hurricane to hit the region in 20 years this early on it forces the conversation we are at the Forefront of the climate crisis we're no longer at the cusp of the climate crisis we are living it breathing it experiencing it every single day our lives our livelihoods are being impacted I mean how do we quantify some of the damage that we've seen how do we quantify 98% of an island being destroyed and it's not only one it's more than one we've seen it in Kaku we're seeing it in St Vincent the impacts uh in Barbados in St Lucia in Jamaica in Dominica in Trinidad and Tobago the list goes on how long does the list have to grow before we take action and before we really start to listen to to the voices of people who are at the Forefront of this climate crisis we need to have more spaces for our voices to be Amplified and our voices to be heard because how long are we expected to suffer the consequences of the climate crisis when we only contribute less than 10% to Global carbon emissions yeah over to you what are your thoughts well one of the biggest challenges we've faced uh in terms of finding lasting solutions to The Climate crisis is obviously uh the the fossil fuel industry that's uh at at the core of of of this crisis um and the slowness by which International the International Community and nations take Serious ambitious action to avert this crisis what we're seeing right now are examples of uh What uh will continue to happen in the future if we do do not uh act urgently on this crisis and and what we have seen as a very difficult in in these International negotiations uh is uh is uh of course the vested interest uh that lie behind this this big issue I would also want to mention that the tricky part about storms uh when we talk about the climate crisis it's only been more recent that uh the the scientific Community has made it very categorical uh that climate change is driving more in intense storms uh and and and this is pretty pretty recent so that's why the science of attribution being able to push the political boundaries around climate action uh has not been seen uh in recent times and and and I think all of this EXT climate extremes that are happening all over the world right now not just storms but also heat waves uh should compel leaders uh to take action Daniel the thing is that see you have all these climate extremes going on like the hurricane barel but meanwhile developed Nations continue to subsidize fossil fuels to the tune of trillions of dollars a year there's no real incentive for Big Oil and big gas to ease production but if we continue to warm our planet in the way that we are doing what does it mean for these weather events that are already reaching extremes yeah the climate system is going to respond in turn right more fossil fuels will mean that the temperature of the planet will continue to rise and as the temperature of the planet Rises these impacts like we're seeing extreme heat uh hurricanes like hurricane Barrel which is being impacted already right now by climate change will continue to be impacted climate change is here right now is impacting us uh in real ways real lives are being affected by these storms so it is critical that we come together and work towards solutions to to sort of solve the the the climate change problem that we are all collectively uh the world dealing with and these things are expected to not change we are going to have this heat with us for a long time so in addition to mitigating our impacts we're also going to have to adapt and change the way we live our lives to protect ourselves from the worst of impacts so it's really important that we continue to have conversations with anyone and everyone who will listen that climate change is here it's happening and we need to do everything we can uh to reduce its impact Daniel we've been having those conversations for you know 20 years and more going back in time and and action is not happening fast enough that's right we need to make immediate changes right now uh and one of the challenges I think is sometimes climate change can be a little abstract it's far away maybe it's in somewhere else but climate change we can see through hurricane Barrel the extreme heat waves the extreme flooding we've been seeing around the world it is happening right now it's no longer an abstract thing as we just mentioned we now have the science to point to particular events and say this was made worse by climate change or this intense event was made more likely because of climate change the science supports that and so what we need to really be doing is making having our policy support Solutions uh towards reducing our climate emissions and the climate impacts hopefully going forward we're looking at pictures just a second ago of the Paris agreement uh crossing the line back in 2015 which is almost 10 years ago uh Ria there's been a raft of Elections across the world this year yet the climate crisis has hardly been on the agenda not in the UK not in the United States governments clearly believe it's not a vote winner at the end of the day it is a Hot Topic issue um I think people necessarily don't want to as we say put their head on a block for what is being described as Daniel just said as abstract thoughts but it's not abstract but we are living it every day it's a reality and we need to focus on the reality we need to focus on accountability because the climate crisis was not started by small island developing States but we need to ensure that we protect the most vulnerable in our communities who are at the Forefront of this climate crisis we need to maybe stop being a little so politically correct about it and we actually need as as you said the conversation has been going on for 20 years the time to take action was not now it was then what do you mean by not be so politically correct from the standpoint of we need to tackle the issues at hand and we need to tackle the issues that are in front of us we need to take the wool over our eyes off uh we need to bring like spaces like this do bring a lot more awareness and clarity and vision to what is happening in the countries that are being affected by climate change and put a human element to it because it's the human element that suffers the most and it's the human element that needs the support as uh our colleague said in terms of the policies and making the policies a reality because if we continue to sit on our hands we're going to continue to have more barrels we're going to continue to have more dorians we're going to continue to have more supercells okay and we really need to start putting the human agenda at the Forefront and the humanitarian agenda at the Forefront and to protect the lives and livelihoods of people who are routinely impacted every single season by these these super cells R I'm going to move on because we've only got three or four minutes left and I want to come to both of our other guests yeah first of all you mentioned the process how do we make that uh more meaningful and the question is isn't the mechanism itself broken the UN framework itself is is just not working there are certain indications that we need to put pressure uh on the international process it is I would I would agree with you a little bit broken uh but it's our best uh option right now uh in terms of getting all countries uh to uh to contribute towards meaningful solutions to The Climate crisis I would say every politician who doesn't talk about climate change is on the wrong side of history and we will keep exposing these world leaders uh who who are not uh uh addressing and confronting this crisis like they should as a crisis Daniel despite it all renewable energy is gaining ground there is a growing demand especially from youth movements around the world for change it's not too late is it it's not too late you know that the fact that we're dealing with Barrel says that the impacts some impacts are already with us but there's sort of a range of what impacts we could be seeing in the future and if we reduce our uh our fossil fuel emissions our greenhouse gas emissions right now we can sort of mitigate and reduce those impacts that we're going to be seeing going forward and this is really good evidence what's happening with barel right now is really good evidence that the climate system is already responding to the decisions we make so that's actually kind of an interesting story because it says that the decisions we make right now will affect going forward uh and so it is critical that this moment we have these conversations we continue to connect what we see happening in the real world to the decisions we are making about how we uh emit things how we produce our energy uh and it's critical that we think about that in this moment and make the decision going forward that will protect uh both ourselves and future Generations yeah you have worked on both sides of the fence from negotiating to activism at this point in time where where do you find Hope do you truly believe that we will get out of this well there are days when we confront uh hurricanes like hurricane barrial and it leaves you just really uh totally uh flustered and and uh cynical but we have to wake up each morning with hope and uh hope is uh stronger than fear uh and therefore we should just keep believing that another world is possible that we can make this happen we can make the Just Energy transition possible in our generation uh and uh and and create a world that is just that is safe uh and that that that uh that is uh meaningfully uh Equitable for everybody um this is uh this is about Justice this is about fairness those who are suffering from the most adverse impacts of the climate crisis are those who contributed the least to this problem and therefore if we have any faith in humanity is it's the faith in humanity that we will be able uh to uh find Justice uh and and and resolve uh this crisis once and for all let's finish in the region Ria at this difficult point in time uh for the Caribbean it must be hard to find any optimism at all isn't there what what are you thinking about the years ahead and how we tackle this crisis no I have to agree with what Yen said we can't we can't allow ourselves to think like that we have to be optimistic about the future we have to work with the organizations like the red cross to support Community Development and Community Building efforts at that level because the communities are very First Responders so we need to invest in community resilience building and Community preparedness so that we know what to do and we know how to adapt and we're able to sort of chart a course forward for the future we need to understand our risk and our vulnerabilities a lot better so that we are able to plan and prepare for them and we have to do that with an open mind and with an open Spirit to be able to accept the hope that's going forward because in the Caribbean we are refusing to accept that this is going to be the the be all and end all for us we need to be able to be more resilient and in order to do that we have to have a positive outlook on the future all right as they say when if not now now we'll have to leave it there thanks to our guests Daniel Guilford Aria

middle Texas on this will be between 1 a.m. and 1M sometime around the one company disrup trillion T once it moves over land it starts weak at a0f will at least hurricane from there storm brushes the city of Houston during the day on Monday through Monday evening before that system races off towards the north and east as we go through the middle of the week so there's the good news we do not expect this storm to become stationary and Meander across the area like Harvey did and that was why we saw such catastrophic flooding was because the storm just parked itself over the area this one will keep moving so that's the good news with this system as we get to the middle of the week here's one of our high resolution Future Track models again we expect hurricane status to happen sometime Sunday afternoon the storm by this point is probably about 200 to 250 Mi offshore from there the storm makes landfall probably somewhere around Matagorda Bay down to Corpus Christie somewhere in that vicinity in that range uh as a category one hurricane here before sunrise or around sunrise on Monday and then what we have to deal with here in Southeast Texas will be heavy bands of tropical rain coming through the area during the day Monday it's not going to be cloudy all day Monday it's not going to be an all day wash out Monday but where you get these bands setting up is where you're going to see some really heavy rain potential the chance maybe for a few isolated tornadoes some Gusty winds and of course the farther west you go the bigger those impacts will be the farther east you go the quieter of a day it's going to be but Monday really looks like the day even into Monday night heavy rain possible before this thing starts to race North and kind of Disconnect from tropical moisture as we get to Tuesday in fact Tuesday looks like a pretty decent day uh for Recovery rain totals though look big across Southeast Texas on the lower end 2 to 4 in on the higher end we could see pockets of 6 to 10 in and some areas could get even locally more than that and again it just depends on when where some of those heavier bands set up so brand new this afternoon we now have tropical storm warnings in effect for Galveston County uh for Chambers County for southern portions of Liberty County and then Southeastern portions of Harris County and that does not include the immediate City but again Southeast Harris County under that tropical storm warning uh then as you get into Bor County tropical storm warning the red here from at aorta County that indicates a hurricane warning and then tropical storm warnings for Colorado and Wharton counties as well for the coast bigger Storm surges the farther south you go so Coastal bzour and Matagorda County could see 3 to 5 feet of storm surge that's where storm surge warnings are in effect and then up across uh Galvis Bay as you get into galvaston in the ball of peninsula we can see 2 to four feet of storm uh surge inundation so storm surge watches up for those areas and then like I mentioned there is a big tornado threat uh with these uh heavy rainbands coming in from the Gulf it's a level two out of five five being the highest level two for tornadoes including the city of Houston getting into a southern Liberty County and then for all of our coastal areas this is where the tornado threat will be the highest as we go through the day tomorrow so here are the Inland impacts for Barrel it's Sunday and Monday that we are watching for that flood and tornado threat you need to stay very close to this forecast because things can still change over the next 24 to 30 6 hours uh any small track adjustment can have a big impact on where we see the biggest flooding potential and again that's for areas Inland so for all of Southeast Texas we are talking about that tornado threat Sunday and Monday the flooding threat will be for everyone primarily focused for areas around uh the city of Houston and Points West during the day on Monday I think that's the biggest threat for us will be on Monday and again landfall as of this evening still expected along the Texas uh the middle Texas Coast we'll have another forecast cone the the the cone of uncertainty update coming up at 10 p.m. tonight and then again as we get into tomorrow morning and again as time gets closer to landfall we're getting better and better ideas of pinpointing exactly where that landfall is going to be stay on top of this forecast we will keep you updated on air and online as Barrel gets closer to the Texas coast happy Saturday everybody kou1 meteorologist pack cin here with your 400 p.m update on this Saturday on tropical storm Barrel still a tropical storm as of this afternoon with winds at 60 MPH definitely looks a lot healthier though than it did after it emerged from the Yucatan so now starting to take advantage of the warm Gulf Waters the upper atmospheric Dynamic still not super favorable for this thing to take off yet but I think that will change as we go through the overnight and into tomorrow notice the storm is also moving to the Northwest at just under 15 mph the storm is just under 400 mil from the city of Houston obviously then even closer to the coast so we are expecting landfall here within the next 48 Hours by Monday morning we should start to see the worst of the storm arriving here in Southeast Texas so here are the risks that we are tracking for you with barrel of course coastal flooding a concern with 2 to 5 ft of storm surge we'll see a similar setup to what we had during Alberto just a few weeks ago but also rain flooding I do think will be close enough to the center of this storm to see some really heavy rain totals across parts of the area and then also an enhanced risk for tornadoes uh and that's not just one day that's going to be spanned over a couple of days starting on Sunday so during the day tomorrow there will be a potential for tornadoes across all of Southeast Texas especially from the city down towards the coast and that threat will continue as we get into Monday as well all right there is the latest forecast track not a lot has changed so there's the good news no big changes anymore as we're starting to close that window between now and landfall we are starting to get a little more confident on where or at least what part of the Texas coast we'll see landfall still a pretty big area but it looks like it's going to be somewhere in the middle Texas coast and it does look like the timing on this will be between 1:00 a.m. and 1 p.m. so sometime around sunrise on Monday as a category one hurricane notice once it moves over land it starts to weaken out a tropical storm strength but again as it makes landfall it will be at least a category 1 hurricane from there the storm brushes the city of Houston during the day on Monday through Monday evening before that system races off towards the north and east as we go through the middle of the week so there's the good news we do not expect this storm to become stationary and Meander across the area like Harvey did and that was why we saw such catastrophic flooding was because

of Houston during the day on Monday through Monday evening before that system races off towards the nor and East as we go through the middle of the week so there's the good news we do not expect this storm to become stationary and Meander across the area like harvy did and that was why we saw such catastrophic flooding was because the storm just parked itself over the area this one will keep moving so that's the good news with this system as we get to the middle of the week here's one of our high resolution Future Track models again we expect hurricane status to happen sometime Sunday afternoon the storm by this point is probably about 2 200 to 250 Mi offshore from there the storm makes landfall probably somewhere around Matagorda Bay down to Corpus Christie somewhere in that vicinity in that range uh as a category one hurricane here before sunrise or around sunrise on Monday and then what we have to deal with here in Southeast Texas will be heavy bands of tropical rain coming through the area during the day Monday it's not going to be cloudy all day Monday it's not going to be an all day wash out Monday but where you get these bands setting up is where you're going to see some really heavy rain potential the chance maybe for a few isolated tornadoes some Gusty winds and of course the farther west you go the bigger those impacts will be the farther east you go the quieter of a day it's going to be but Monday really looks like the day even into Monday night heavy rain possible before this thing starts to race North and kind of Disconnect from tropical moisture as we get to Tuesday in fact Tuesday looks like a pretty decent day uh for Recovery rain totals though look big across Southeast Texas on the lower end 2 to 4 in on the higher end we could see pockets of 6 to 10 in and some areas could get even locally more than that and again it just depends on when where some of those heavier bands set up so brand new this afternoon we now have tropical storm warnings in effect for Galveston County uh for Chambers County for southern portions of Liberty County and then Southeastern portions of Harris County and that does not include the immediate City but again Southeast Harris County under that tropical storm warning uh then as you get into boria County tropical storm warning the red here from at aorta County that indicates a hurricane warning and then tropical storm warnings for Colorado and Wharton counties as well for the coast bigger Storm surges the farther south you go so Coastal bour Matagorda County could see 3 to ft of storm surge that's where storm surge warnings are in effect and then up across uh Galvis Bay as you get into Galvis in the baller Peninsula we can see 2 to four feet of storm uh surge inundation so storm surge watches up for those areas and then like I mentioned there is a big tornado threat uh with these uh Heavy Rain bands coming in from the Gulf it's a level two out of five five being the highest level two for tornadoes including the city of Houston getting into Southern Liberty County and then for all of our coastal areas this is where the tornado threat will be the highest as we go through the day tomorrow so here are the Inland impacts for Barrel it's Sunday and Monday that we are watching for that flood and tornado threat you need to stay very close to this forecast because things can still change over the next 24 to 36 hours uh any small track adjustment can have a big impact on where we see the biggest flooding potential and again that's for areas in Inland so for all of Southeast Texas we are talking about that tornado threat Sunday and Monday the flooding threat will be for everyone primarily focused for areas around uh the city of Houston and Points West during the day on Monday I think that's the biggest threat for us will be on Monday and again landfall as of this evening still expected along the Texas uh the middle Texas coast we'll have another forecast cone the the the cone of uncertainty update coming up at 1 p.m. tonight and then again as we get into tomorrow morning and again as time gets closer to landfall we're getting better and better ideas of pinpointing exactly where that landfall is going to be stay on top of this forecast we will keep you updated on air and online as Barrel gets closer to the Texas coast happy Saturday everybody I'm K1 meteorologist Pat cin here with your 4 P.M update on this Saturday on tropical storm Barrel still a tropical storm as of this afternoon with winds at 60 MPH definitely looks a lot healthier though than it did after it emerged from the Yucatan so now starting to take advantage of the warm Gulf Waters the upper atmospheric Dynamic still not super favorable for this thing to take off yet but I think that will change as we go through the overnight and into tomorrow notice the storm is also moving to the Northwest at just under 15 milph this storm is just under 400 miles from the city of Houston obviously then even closer to the coast so we are expecting landfall here within the next 48 Hours by Monday morning we should start to see the worst of the storm arriving here in Southeast Texas so here are the risks that we are tracking for you with barrel of course coastal flooding a concern with two to 5 ft of storm surge we'll see a similar setup to what we had during Alberto just a few weeks ago but also rain flooding I do think will be close enough to the center of the storm to see some really heavy rain totals across parts of the area and then also an enhanced risk for tornadoes uh and that's not just one day that's going to be spanned over a couple of days starting on Sunday so during the day tomorrow there will be a potential for tornadoes across all of Southeast Texas especially from the city down towards the coast and that threat will continue as we get into Monday as well all right there is the latest forecast track not a lot has changed so there's the good news no big changes anymore as we're starting to close that window between now and landfall uh we are starting to get a little little more confident on where or at least what part of the Texas coast we'll see landfall still a pretty big area but it looks like it's going to be somewhere in the middle Texas coast and it does look like the timing on this will be between 1:00 a.m. and 1 p.m. so sometime around sunrise on Monday as a category 1 hurricane notice once it moves over land it starts to weaken at a tropical storm strength but again as it makes landfall will be at least a category 1

Yucatan so now starting to take advantage of the warm Gulf Waters the upper atmospheric Dynamic still not super favorable for this thing to take off yet but I think that will change as we go through the overnight and into tomorrow notice the storm is also moving to the Northwest at just under 15 mph the storm is just under under 400 miles from the city of Houston obviously then even closer to the coast so we are expecting landfall here within the next 48 Hours by Monday morning we should start to see the worst of the storm arriving here in Southeast Texas so here are the risks that we are tracking for you with barrel of course coastal flooding a concern with 2 to 5 feet of storm surge we'll see a similar setup to what we had during Alberto just a few weeks ago but also rain flooding I do think will be close enough to the center of this storm to see some really heavy rain totals across parts of the area and then also an enhanced risk for tornadoes uh and that's not just one day that's going to be spanned over a couple of days starting on Sunday so during the day tomorrow there will be a potential for tornadoes across all of Southeast Texas especially from the city down towards the coast and that threat will continue as we get into Monday as well all right there is the latest forecast track not a lot has changed so there's the good news no big changes more as we're starting to close that window between now and landfall uh we are starting to get a little more confident on where or at least what part of the Texas coast we'll see landfall still a pretty big area but it looks like it's going to be somewhere in the middle Texas coast and it does look like the timing on this will be between 1:00 a.m. and 1 p.m. so sometime around sunrise on Monday as a category one hurricane notice once it moves over land it starts to weaken at a tropical storm strength but but again as it makes landfall will be at least a category 1 hurricane from there the storm brushes the city of Houston during the day on Monday through Monday evening before that system races off towards the north and east as we go through the middle of the week so there's the good news we do not expect this storm to become stationary and Meander across the area like Harvey did and that was why we saw such catastrophic flooding was because the storm just parked itself over the area this one will keep moving so that's the good news with this system as we get to the middle of the week here's one of our highresolution future track models again we expect hurricane status to happen sometime Sunday afternoon the storm by this point is probably about 200 to 250 Mi offshore from there the storm makes landfall probably somewhere around Matagorda Bay down to Corpus Christie somewhere in that vicinity in that range as a category 1 hurricane here before sunrise or around sunrise on Monday and then what we have to deal with here in Southeast Texas will be heavy bands of tropical rain coming through the area during the day Monday it's not going to be cloudy all day Monday it's not going to be an all day wash out Monday but where you get these bands setting up is where you're going to see some really heavy rain potential the chance maybe for a few isolated tornadoes some Gusty winds and of course the farther west you go the bigger those impacts will be the farther east you go the quieter of a day it's going to be but Monday really looks like the day even into Monday night heavy rain possible before this thing starts to race North and kind of Disconnect from tropical moisture as we get to Tuesday in fact Tuesday looks like a pretty decent day uh for Recovery rain totals though look big across Southeast Texas on the lower end 2 to 4 Ines on the higher end we could see pockets of 6 to 10 in and some areas could get even locally more than that and again it just depends on when where some of those heavier bands set up so brand new this afternoon we now have tropical storm warnings in effect for Galveston County uh for Chambers County for southern portions of Liberty County and then Southeastern portions of Harris County and that does not include the immediate City but again Southeast Harris County under that tropical storm warning uh then as you get into boria County tropical storm warning the red here from orta County indicates a hurricane warning and then tropical storm warnings for Colorado and Wharton counties as well for the coast bigger Storm surges the farther south you go so Coastal bzour in Matagorda County could see 3 to 5 feet of storm surge that's where storm surge warnings are in effect and then up across uh Galvis Bay as you get into Galvis the baller Peninsula we can see 2 to four feet of storm uh surge inundation so storm surge watches up for those areas and then like I mentioned there is a big tornado threat uh with these uh heavy rainbands coming in from the Gulf it's a level two out of five five being the highest level two for tornadoes including the city of Houston getting into a southern Liberty County and then for all of our coastal areas this is where the tornado threat will be the highest as we go through the day tomorrow so here are the Inland impacts for Barrel it's Sunday and Monday that we are watching for that flood and tornado threat you need to stay very close to to this forecast because things can still change over the next 24 to 36 hours uh any small track adjustment can have a big impact on where we see the biggest flooding potential and again that's for areas Inland so for all of Southeast Texas we are talking about that tornado threat Sunday and Monday the flooding threat will be for everyone primarily focused for areas around uh the city of Houston and Points West during the day on Monday I think that's the biggest threat for us will be on Monday and again landfall as of this evening still expected along the Texas uh the middle Texas coast we'll have another forecast cone the the the cone of uncertainty update coming up at 10 p.m. tonight and then again as we get into tomorrow morning and again as time gets closer to landfall we're getting better and better ideas of pinpointing exactly where that landfall is going to be stay on top of this forecast we will keep you updated on air and online as Barrel gets closer to the Texas coast happy Saturday everybody I'm
