The system is expected to develop into a hurricane that will threaten the Caribbean over the weekend.
Tropical Storm Beryl is building momentum in the Atlantic Ocean, threatening to wallop a number of Caribbean islands as it develops into the first named hurricane of the season.
Beryl is expected to reach the Caribbean islands of Barbados, Dominica, Grenada and Martinique late on Sunday. Beryl is the second named storm of the season after Tropical Storm Alberto, which made landfall in northeast Mexico on 20 June. The heavy rains of that storm killed four people.Barbados' meteorological service issued warnings of power outages and flash flooding, as the eye of the hurricane is expected to pass about 26 miles south of the island.
If Tropical Storm Beryl continues on the trajectory some forecasters are predicting and it develops into a Category 3 storm, the second named storm of the 2024 season would be one of the earliest arrivals of one of the storms the NOAA warned of.
