An updated weather report on Tuesday morning (5 AM) by WESH 2 News, stated that Beryl is moving at 165 mph with a pressure of 935 millibars and “could potentially break the lowest pressure in July by a storm.” It was also mentioned that the core of the storm is currently to the south of Hispaniola.

The weather forecaster issuing the 5 AM advisory warned, “I’m really worried about Jamaica. They are expected to potentially see a direct impact with this.”

However, based on imagery of the forecast, Beryl is expected to weaken to a category 3 hurricane as it passes over Jamaica.

The effects of the hurricane are predicted to start affecting the island late Tuesday.
