The powerful hurricane will continue to travel across the Caribbean this week with significant risks to lives and property before potentially approaching part of the United States.AccuWeather’s Bernie Rayno and Jon Porter monitor Hurricane Beryl as it treks across the Caribbean. The storm will not impact Florida or the East Coast. See which regions could be impacted by Beryl.
"The next appreciable landmass in Beryl's path will be Jamaica on Wednesday," AccuWeather Lead Tropical Meteorologist Alex DaSilva said. "Should the high pressure area remain strong, Beryl will make landfall in Belize or Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Thursday night or Friday," Rayno said."But if the high weakens just a bit, it may allow Beryl to take a more northwesterly track, in which case it may avoid more land and get into the Gulf of Mexico as a formidable hurricane instead of a chopped-down tropical storm that encounters more land.
Despite the risk, Beryl would not approach southern Texas with the same intensity as that of the Windward Islands.Chris, the third tropical storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, formed this past weekend out of a tropical rainstorm that AccuWeather meteorologists had been tracking for over a week as it crossed the Caribbean.
Interests in the Lesser Antilles, especially the Windward Islands once again, should closely monitor the rainstorm's progress.
