It could impact the Lesser Antilles as a high-end tropical storm or perhaps a hurricane.
A quickly-organizing tropical wave is expected to intensify late Friday or early Saturday into Tropical Storm Beryl, and will probably bring strong winds, rough surf and heavy rains to the Lesser Antilles, a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea, by early next week. Tropical storm watches and warnings will probably be hoisted over the weekend, and there’s even a growing chance the storm could become a hurricane in the Caribbean in the coming days.
Meanwhile, there are also two other disturbances in the Atlantic, each with 30 percent odds of eventual development. One is a robust tropical wave rolling off the coast of Africa, and the other is in the western Caribbean and is soon to soak the Yucatán Peninsula with heavy rains.It’s only June, but the Atlantic is exhibiting mature development over the Main Development Region, or the imaginary box of oceanic real estate between South America and Africa in the tropical Atlantic.
It also has a clear spin on satellite. And notice the “outflow,” or high-altitude exhaust exiting the storm at the top. That’s evident in the thin, wispy cirrus clouds fanning out from the center. That shows the storm is breathing — inhaling warm, moist air from below and evacuating “spent” air from above. That’s a sign of a well-organized disturbance.
