Powerful Hurricane Beryl will continue to roar across the Caribbean, reaching Mexico prior to the end of the week. The storm will then set its sights on Texas primarily in the form of flooding from rain and storm surge.
Beryl is the strongest hurricane on record to hit portions of the Windward Islands so early in the season and the earliest 165-mph Category 5 hurricane on record for the Atlantic basin
Beryl brought life-threatening conditions and extreme destruction as a Category 4 hurricane to Jamaica on Wednesday and will reach Mexico early on Friday
AccuWeather meteorologists warn that Beryl’s rain and wind impacts will reach the United States after its trek through Mexico
After carving a path of destruction and threatening lives in Jamaica at midweek, Hurricane Beryl will next stop in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula before the end of the week. AccuWeather meteorologists expect that steering breezes will then guide Beryl into the southwestern Gulf of Mexico this weekend before making another landfall in northeastern Mexico early next week with storm surge, flooding downpours and strong winds.
