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.
