More than 3.5 million people in Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas are currently under a tornado watch until 10 p.m. CDT as Tropical Storm Beryl makes its impact on the Gulf Coast region.

The northward movement of Beryl is creating conditions favorable for the formation of supercells capable of producing tornadoes throughout this afternoon and early evening, as reported by the Storm Prediction Center.

Tornadoes have the potential to develop well away from Beryl's center within any of its rainbands today, posing a significant threat to the affected areas. Earlier this morning, several tornado warnings were issued northeast of the Houston area, highlighting the imminent danger posed by the storm.
