The potential Beryl is on a path for the Caribbean.
Tropical activity was picking up in the Atlantic Ocean on Friday. Of most interest is the area in red, which could become Tropical Storm Beryl in the next few days. It's forecast to head for the Caribbean, but it's too soon to say if it could affect the U.S. Forecasters were also tracking two other disturbances, including one headed for the southern Gulf, that had low development chances on Friday.
The hurricane center expects the storm to be near the Caribbean’s Lesser Antilles by the end of the weekend and urged those in the islands to keep a close eye on the storm. A tropical system needs to have a closed, defined center of circulation and sustained winds of at least 39 mph to be classified as a tropical storm and get a name. Beryl is the next name on the 2024 Atlantic storm list.
