Description
At 5 am, Hurricane Beryl was located near latitude 10.7° North; longitude 53.1° West, or
approximately 570 miles (917 kilometers) east of the SVG. “Beryl” is moving toward the West at
21 mph (33 km/h), and on its present forecast track, the center of the system is expected to
pass near or over SVG during Monday morning. Maximum sustained winds are 100 mph (160
km/h). Minimum Central Pressure is 981 mb or 28.87 inches. Hurricane force winds extend
outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center, and tropical storm force winds extend outward
up to 60 miles (95km). Storm force winds are possible across SVG from late night. Rapid
strengthening is forecast over the next day or so, and Beryl is expected to become an extremely dangerous hurricane before it reaches the Windward Islands.
Maximum sustained winds of 100 - 132 mph (160 – 212 km/h) are expected from early Monday.
Rainfall accumulations of 4 to 6 inches (100 to 150mm) are likely across St. Vincent and the
Grenadines. A flash-flood Warning will be in effect from 6 pm, today Sunday 30th June, 2024.
Marine conditions are expected to be very rough and hazardous with sea-swells exceeding
4.0m (13ft) and possibly higher ~8.0m (26ft), near the center of ‘Beryl’ during Monday. Large
and destructive waves/swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip currents. These
will create unsafe conditions for small-craft operators and fishermen. A High-Surf Advisory and
Small-Craft Warning will be in effect from 12 noon, today Sunday 30th June, 2024. Small craft
operators are advised to remain in port. Please secure all vessels and other equipment. Sea-
bathers and other users of the sea are advised to stay out of the water.
Instructions
All preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion.
