Beryl, currently a Category 4 hurricane with sustained wind speeds of 140 mph, is making its presence felt as it moves west-northwest at 18 mph. The storm is located just 45 miles south of Kingston, Jamaica, posing a significant threat to the region.
The hurricane's powerful winds extend up to 45 miles from its center, with tropical storm-force winds reaching out to 185 miles. These extreme weather conditions are already impacting the southern shores of Jamaica, with the potential to intensify and spread further across the country, particularly in the southern areas.
As Beryl continues on its projected path, it is expected to pass just south of Jamaica by Wednesday night while maintaining its status as a major hurricane, likely remaining at least a Category 3 storm. This forecast underscores the importance of preparedness and vigilance among residents and authorities in the potentially affected areas.
