Beryl is moving toward the west near 23 mph or 37 km/h. A relatively quick westward to west-northwestward motion is expected during the next few days. On the forecast track, the system is expected to move across the Windward Islands late Sunday night and Monday.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph or 100 km/h, with higher gusts. Rapid strengthening is now expected and Beryl is forecast to become a major hurricane before it reaches the Windward Islands. Hazardous swells generated by the system are expected to reach the Windward and southern Leeward Islands by late Sunday.

A Hurricane Watch is in effect for Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados and Grenada.

A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Martinique and Tobago.

Another tropical wave located over the eastern Tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 12 mph or 19 km/h. This wave has a medium chance of development, and a tropical depression could form by the middle of next week. 

Interests in the Windward and southern Leeward Islands are advised to closely monitor the progress of these systems and take the necessary precautions.
