Hurricane Beryl is the first major hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season and broke records over the weekend, reaching Category 4 strength. Here's what's next.
Elyse SmithBeryl is the first major hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season and broke records as it reached category 4 hurricane strength over the weekend.
So when conditions are right, any tropical system could rapidly intensify this season, potentially leading to more hurricanes and even major hurricanes developing this season. Beryl could also encounter wind shear near the island, likely weakening the storm. Currently, a Hurricane Watch is in effect for Jamaica, with the island potentially being impacted by Beryl as a Category 2 storm on Wednesday.
If Beryl had made landfall farther north along the Yucatan Peninsula, say near Cozumel or Cancun, the land would be flatter and may not have disrupted the storm as much.
