Hurricane Beryl, now an ‘extremely dangerous’ Category 4 storm, heads for the Caribbean
As expected, Hurricane Beryl strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane Sunday but it happened several hours earlier than expected. Now, Beryl barrels toward the Caribbean.
Here’s the latest from the National Hurricane Center’s Sunday’s 5 p.m. advisory.
Beryl’s wind speed: Beryl’s packing 130 mph sustained winds, an increase of 50 mph from Saturday’s 8 p.m. advisory and 10 mph from Sunday’s 11 a.m. advisory. Higher gusts are present. Hurricane force winds blow up to 30 miles from Beryl’s center, with tropical storm force winds extending 115 miles.
“Fluctuations in strength are likely during the next day or so, and Beryl is expected to remain an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane through landfall in the Windward Islands,” the hurricane center said.
