    July 6, 5:30 p.m.: As Hurricane Beryl approaches the Texas coast, JBSA leaders continue to maintain readiness by monitoring the situation and preparing for the storm's arrival locally, while also posturing to support regional federal operations as needed. The storm is currently projected by the National Weather Service to make landfall near Port Lavaca, Texas early Monday, but this could change. Models have the track continuing to shift east toward Houston, but the potential for rain and high winds in San Antonio remains. The potential exists for gusts up to 40 knots and rain of 1-2” between Monday and Wednesday. We will continue to provide updates throughout this weather event.

    July 5: As Hurricane Beryl approaches the Texas coast, please take time today and tomorrow to prepared for high winds and abundant rain. Bring loose items in from outdoors and anchor trampolines, grills, and other items that might be blown away. Even tropical storm strength winds are strong enough to cause damage.
