SUMMARY: ERCOT, the electricity grid operator in Texas, is asking residents to conserve electricity between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. CT due to low operating reserves. This is not an emergency, but a result of high temperatures, high demand, low wind, and declining solar power generation. The appeal extends to government agencies who are being asked to implement energy-saving programs. ERCOT is using various methods to manage the grid, including reserve power, reductions by large customers, and obtaining additional power generation capacity. Conservation is a useful tool to lower demand during peak times. Any outages are likely local and not related to grid reliability.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Beryl, which began as a Category 2 hurricane, weakened to a tropical storm but is forecasted to regain hurricane status and hit southern Texas by Sunday night or Monday. The National Hurricane Center predicts landfall between Brownsville and north of Corpus Christi, with potential rapid intensification due to warm Gulf waters. Experts warn it could become a Category 2 or 3 storm. Beryl has already shown unprecedented rapid intensification, with significant increases in wind speed. This early-season storm reflects unusually warm Atlantic waters, potentially influenced by climate change and a developing La Nina, suggesting a more intense hurricane season ahead.
