Cat 3 Major Hurricane Beryl - Intensifying... Cat 4 Before Landfall

Good morning....

But not for the Islands in the path of Beryl.

Staying short term today.

This is a dangerous situation for the Islands.

Grenada, St. Vincent.

Barbados always first.

I can and will update later. Reality bites sometimes and it hit on the last day of June as a strong tropical storm named Beryl spent the night doing Rapid Intensification all night as we watched knowing that a worst case scenario was unfolding faster than the eye was evolving into what became a Major Hurricane about to make Landfall. 

Some island in this map will get Landfall.

This is the most deadly, wicked part of Beryl.

Inner core...

Still evolving and rearranging.

Oh and it'll wobble...

Bottom line this morning is every port of call in the path needs to rush all preparations as this will be arriving early this evening in some areas and it's been a long time since these islands have been visited by a Major Hurricane. And, being June a day away from July I am sure many didn't believe or couldn't imagine that the worst case scenario could indeed happen. Gotta be honest, this part of the tropics has been fairly lucky of late and hasn't had a date with this sort of destiny...and yes there is another disturbance behind it that is now at 70% red for development. Next name up is Chris and while we are currently obsessing on Beryl, we will soon obsess on Chris.

Unless 94L ...still there steals that name.

Now is not the time to talk on "it's too early for this" this is a life threatening, disaster evolving in real time and the islands should have structural damage that's hard to imagine and I don't have the time to go into details. 

NHC advisories.

Local advisories.

There are tourists who went on trips, cruises and charters "knowing hurricanes don't happen down there in June" and this is happening fast and furious, seriously fast and furious. So know this IS happening. 

And, the predictions for the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season to be wicked and wild have been verified. 

If you live upstream in the US in Florida or Texas or Carolinas and every place in between ... please I cannot overemphasize this enough... know that a hurricane such as Beryl may come to your town, your home and you need to prepare and have a plan. There should be no more denial, Beryl is reality biting.

Twitter mostly weather .. Insta whatever.

Music later.....more details later.... after I drink more coffee as I was awake last night until almost four watching Beryl do all her gyrations, wrapping up into an Intense hurricane knowing I'd wake up to a Major Hurricane.
