The public is encouraged to monitor the BMS, DEM and GIS websites, their respective social media pages, and the local media networks for further information on Beryl. 

Discussion
Overnight, Beryl continued to strengthen with an eye visible on Satellite imagery. At 5 am today Sunday 30th June, 2024 the eye was located near 10.7N 53.1W or about 750 km (465 miles) east-southeast of Barbados. Maximum sustained winds have increased to 100 MPH (155 Km/h). The system continues its westward motion at 21 MPH (31 Km/h).  The minimum central pressure is 981mb. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 km (15 miles) from the center and tropical storm-force winds extend outward up to 130 km (80 miles). Over the past 12 hours, the forecast track has shifted slightly south of the original forecast now taking the center slightly further south of Barbados. The hurricane hunter is currently on its way to investigate the system and updates from the aircraft will give more information regarding the structure and intensity of the system and the extent of hurricane and storm-force winds. 

General Information
