Beryl will likely bring devastating impacts to Jamaica on Wednesday.
It’s then a danger to the Cayman Islands and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula this week.
It’s also a threat to the western Gulf Coast, from Texas to Mexico early next week.
Hurricane Beryl became the earliest Atlantic Category 5 overnight after hammering the Windard Islands Monday.
Hurricane Beryl is nearing a potentially devastating strike on Jamaica and will then go on to hammer the Cayman Islands and the Yucatan Peninsula before facing an uncertain future in the Gulf of Mexico that could include impacts in eastern Mexico and Texas.
Current status: Beryl’s eyewall continues to move quickly west-northwest in the northern Caribbean Sea at Category 4 intensity well south of Hispaniola. That said, some bands of heavy rain have wrapped into the Dominican Republic and Haiti, which could result in flooding and mudslides.
