Beryl’s wrath will be felt as far north as Michigan and Ohio this week

While Beryl is expected to bring hurricane-force winds to Texas on Monday, the cyclone’s strong winds and rain will move into the Midwest by midweek.

Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio are among the states that will feel the effects of Beryl.

Once Beryl reaches Texas, the cyclone is expected to move north through the South and Midwest.

Beryl’s current forecast cone shows the storm weakening as it moves north, but maintaining tropical depression strength from Arkansas to Michigan throughout the week. A tropical depression is a cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 38 mph or less. Unlike tropical storms and hurricanes, tropical depressions are identified by numbers, not names.

Current forecasts predict that Beryl’s remnants will extend into Ohio and Michigan by the end of the workweek.
