Saturday, 10am Tropical Update: Tropical Storm Beryl could become first major hurricane
SUMMARY: Daily chances of stray showers or storms are expected Monday through Friday. Tropical systems are likely to move westward towards the Yucatan Peninsula, keeping them south of the Gulf Coast. The main concern is Tropical Storm Barrel, which has strengthened to 65 mph winds and is moving west at 23 mph. It could become a Category 3 hurricane by Monday, affecting the Lesser Antilles and moving west-northwest through the Caribbean. It might weaken by Wednesday due to stronger wind shear. No tropical threats are expected for the Gulf Coast this week, but pay attention to updates on Barrel. The 7-day forecast includes hot, humid conditions with scattered daily showers and storms.
Meteorologist Alexa Trischler says impacts from Beryl will spread across the Lesser Antilles late Sunday into Monday.
