Hurricane Beryl strengthened on Monday as it crossed into the Caribbean Sea. Its winds are now 150 mph which makes it a strong Category 4 storm, nearly a Category 5 (which starts at 157 mph). Beryl made landfall just after 11 a.m. Monday in Grenada and continues to churn into the eastern Caribbean Sea. Beryl will move west-northwest through the Caribbean Sea this week. Wind shear may increase in a few days which would likely cause the storm to weaken. By next weekend, it should be somewhere around Yucatan or the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. It appears high pressure over the southeast US next weekend could keep Beryl on a westward track away from the northern Gulf Coast. This set-up could send it into Mexico or perhaps southern Texas.
