Tropical Storm Beryl Getting Stronger, Could Become a Major Hurricane

Tropical Storm Beryl Getting Stronger, Could Become a Major Hurricane



Tropical Storm Beryl is getting stronger as it moves towards the Windward Islands. It is expected to hit these islands as a major hurricane on Sunday and Monday.


Wind Speed and Strengthening

Beryl now has winds of 65 mph, which is 5 mph stronger than earlier this morning. Winds from the storm extend up to 45 miles from its center. The hurricane center says Beryl is expected to become a major hurricane soon.

Location and Movement

The storm is currently 820 miles east-southeast of Barbados and moving west at 23 mph. The hurricane center expects Beryl to continue moving west to west-northwest over the next few days. It should reach the Windward Islands late Sunday night and Monday.

Alerts

Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and the Grenadine Islands are under a hurricane watch. Martinique and Tobago are under a tropical storm watch. Other parts of the Lesser Antilles should keep an eye on Beryl as more watches and warnings may be issued.

Hazards

Beryl could cause a life-threatening storm surge of 5 to 7 feet in the hurricane watch areas. The storm may bring 3 to 6 inches of rain to Barbados and the Windward Islands on Sunday and Monday, which could cause flooding. Dangerous surf and rip currents could also occur in the Windward and southern Leeward Islands.

Next Advisory

The hurricane center will provide an update at 2 p.m. and a full advisory at 5 p.m.

More Information on Beryl

If Beryl becomes a hurricane on Sunday, it will be the farthest east that a June hurricane has ever formed. Only one other hurricane has formed in this area in June, and that was in 1933.

Future Changes

By Tuesday, conditions might change, and a strong ridge that is keeping the storm at lower latitudes might weaken. This could allow Beryl to move to higher latitudes and face more wind shear, which could weaken it to a Category 1 hurricane.

Another system is also being watched by forecasters. A tropical wave south of the Cabo Verde Islands might turn into a tropical depression or storm within the next week. As of the 11 a.m. update, there is a 40% chance of it strengthening into a depression in the next two days.

Shakib and Tamim Slam Bangladesh's Lack of Aggression in Batting Against India

  Shakib and Tamim Slam Bangladesh's Lack of Aggression in Batting Against India Bangladesh's top cricketers, Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal, were disappointed with their team's lack of effort against India in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eight game in Antigua. Shakib scored 11 runs off seven balls after coming in during the 12th over, with Bangladesh needing 121 runs at 14.23 runs per over. He expressed his disappointment about the team's poor performance at the crucial end of the tournament, where they scored only 140 for 8 against Australia and 146 for 8 against India. Despite the easier batting conditions in Antigua, Bangladesh's top order continued to struggle. Shakib said the team didn't even show they were trying to chase India's 196 runs in this game. We won half of our World Cup matches, but if we had fought harder against India and Australia like we did against South Africa, it could have been a good campaign," Shakib said. "Our battin...

Tornado Watch Preparation: Essential Checklist and Safety Tips

  Tornado Watch Preparation: Essential Checklist and Safety Tips Meteorologists have a tough job predicting the weather. Tornado prediction rules started in 1884, and now we have Doppler weather radar technology, first used on May 24, 1973, in Union City, Oklahoma, which helps a lot. Technology helps, but predictions are just part of the challenge. People in tornado-prone areas need to know what to do if bad weather is coming. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), most tornadoes come from supercell thunderstorms. The National Weather Service says a supercell has a deep, rotating updraft called a mesocyclone, which can lead to a tornado. A tornado watch means a tornado might happen near you. If there's a watch, stay alert by listening to the radio, watching weather reports, or looking at the sky. Use this time to prepare and get organized. Tornadoes can happen any time but are most common in spring and summer. NOAA says about 55 people are kille...
