A tropical storm warning is in effect for parts of Texas and Mexico as a predicted hyperactive hurricane season kicks into gear. The system threatening the southwestern Gulf Coast has been designated Potential Tropical Cyclone One by the National Hurricane Center and will likely strengthen to a tropical storm by the end of the day. A level 3 of 4 risk of flooding is in place for much of South Texas today. Torrential rainfall is also expected to considerably ramp up the flood threat, not just in the US, but also in parts of Mexico and Central America. While rain is needed desperately in the bone-dry region, the deluge could quickly overwhelm parched soil unable to absorb water as fast as it falls, resulting in dangerous flooding.

Hurricane Beryl intensifies into major Category 4 storm as it targets Caribbean

Hurricane Beryl grew into a Category 4 major hurricane Sunday afternoon as it took aim at the Caribbean, according to the National Hurricane Center.

https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/06/30/hurricane-beryl-intensifies-into-major-category-3-storm-as-it-targets-caribbean/?

Hurricane Beryl, a powerful Category 3 storm, is on track to slam into the Caribbean today with life-threatening storm surge and violent winds. The hurricane's core is most at risk of striking Grenada, St. Vincent or the Grenadines, forecasts show. Beryl's arrival marks an exceptionally early — and likely devastating — start to the Atlantic hurricane season. It reached Category 4 strength on Sunday, making it the earliest storm of such strength on record in the Atlantic Ocean and the only Category 4 storm ever recorded in the month of June. The storm reduced slightly to a Category 3 earlier today as several communities brace for widespread damage and power outages.

ps:🙏 for all those that will be in the path of this hurricane!!

⛈️ Hurricanes get more dangerous

Visible satellite image of Category 4 Hurricane Beryl making landfall in the southern Windward Islands on July 1. Photo: CIRA/RMMB Hurricane Beryl is rewriting hurricane history, Axios' Andrew Freedman writes. Its early formation, rapid intensification and location are all record-breaking. 🌀 The latest: The storm, which formed Saturday evening, rapidly intensified into a major Category 4 storm yesterday and made landfall today on tiny Carriacou Island in Grenada. Hurricane Beryl is now the earliest Category 4 storm to form anywhere in the Atlantic Ocean, beating the old record by more than a week. It's the fastest rate of intensification ever observed in the Atlantic in June, at 65 mph in 24 hours. 🌎 Zoom out: Studies have shown that climate change is causing storms to become more intense, and to intensify more quickly, than they did in the past.

Hurricane Beryl is churning toward Jamaica as a dangerous Category 5 storm after leaving at least one person dead and inflicting ruin across the Caribbean islands on Monday. The storm has already ripped through scores of homes in Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where many are still without power or water. Beryl continues to smash records as it kicks off an exceptionally early hurricane season — now becoming the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record and only the second Atlantic storm of such strength to be recorded in July. Forecasts show harsh winds and rain will be felt in Hispaniola today with as much as 3 feet of storm surge. Government officials have also activated national disaster response protocols in Jamaica, where water levels may rise 5 feet above normal tide levels.

Hurricane Beryl is hurtling toward Jamaica and the Cayman Islands and is expected to generate dangerous winds and life-threatening storm surge. At least seven people have died in the storm, according to authorities. It is now a very strong Category 4, with sustained winds of 150 mph and was the earliest Category 5 on record in the Atlantic. Beryl made landfall as a Category 4 on Monday on Grenada's Carriacou island, which was "flattened" in half an hour, Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell said. Meteorologists have issued warnings about a hyperactive hurricane season this year due to a warming climate caused by fossil fuel pollution.

Hurricane Beryl

 

Beryl made landfall near Matagorda, Texas, today as a Category 1 hurricane. It is the first storm in the Atlantic hurricane season to make landfall in the US. After causing chaos in the Caribbean and Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula last week and killing at least nine people, Beryl weakened to a tropical storm but strengthened to become a hurricane overnight. It will continue to bring life-threatening storm surge and flooding to Texas this week, meteorologists say. Power outages are also rapidly climbing across the state as Beryl moves inland with gusty winds downing parts of the electric grid. Experts say this hurricane season will be far from normal, as fossil fuel pollution contributes to warmer water and rapidly intensifying storms.
