Extremely Dangerous Hurricane Beryl Approaches the Windward Islands

Hurricane Beryl, a powerful Category 4 storm, is rapidly approaching the Windward Islands, with dangerous conditions expected to impact the region beginning early Monday morning. Residents are urged to prepare for life-threatening winds, storm surge, and heavy rainfall.

Storm Path and Intensity

Beryl is currently maintaining its Category 4 status as it moves westward across the Caribbean. The storm is forecasted to make landfall on the Windward Islands early Monday, continuing its path across the southeastern and central Caribbean through Wednesday.

Hazardous Storm Surge and Waves

A significant storm surge is expected, potentially raising water levels by 6 to 9 feet in areas near where the eye of the storm makes landfall. This surge will be accompanied by destructive waves, posing a serious risk to coastal communities.

Rainfall and Flash Flooding Risk

Beryl is expected to bring heavy rainfall to Barbados and the Windward Islands, with totals ranging from 3 to 6 inches, and localized amounts of up to 10 inches in some areas. This could lead to flash flooding, particularly in the Grenadines.

Residents are advised to stay informed by monitoring official weather updates and taking precautions ahead of the storm's arrival.
