 Texas bracing for barrel, which is weakened to a tropical storm after hitting Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, but is expected to once again be hurricane strength by the time it moves into the southeast coast of Texas. While it's in the Gulf, it will likely get stronger. This is why we already have a hurricane watch and a storm surge watch that includes portions of the coastline that includes Corpus Christi. The latest track has it making landfall as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday with max sustained winds around 90 miles per hour.
