    <description>THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION HAS STRENGTHENED INTO TROPICAL STORM BERYL
The Barbados Meteorological Services (BMS) continues to closely monitor the development of Tropical Storm Beryl located near 9.3N 43.6W 1100 miles/ 1800 km east-southeast of Barbados, at 11 pm tonight Friday 28th June 2024.

A HURRICANE WATCH MAY BE ISSUED BY TOMORROW MORNING 29TH JUNE 2024. 

Potential Impacts
The system is expected to affect Barbados late Sunday night the 30th of June into Monday, July 1st, 2024. As a result, there is the possibility of flash flooding and storm-force winds impacting the island during that time. Additionally, a small craft and high surf warning are currently in effect for above-normal sea swells.

What you should do
The public is encouraged to monitor the BMS, DEM and GIS websites and their respective social media networks for further updates.

Discussion
The system became better organized over the past few hours and has been upgraded to a tropical storm at 11 pm. Beryl is currently moving westward at 18mph (30km/h) with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65km/h). The minimal central pressure is 1006 mb. Model consensus continues to track the center of the system just south of Barbados early Monday July 1st, 2024. Although there remains uncertainty regarding the intensity of the system in the coming days, some model guidance suggests that this system could develop into a hurricane before reaching Barbados.
