Tropical Storm Beryl continues to strengthen as it moves westward

Tropical Storm Beryl is strengthening in the central Atlantic Ocean and is a hurricane threat to the Windward Islands, but then faces an uncertain future in the Caribbean Sea.

The tropical storm could be a hurricane by Sunday morning as it continues to move quickly at about 21 mph. The highest wind speeds were clocked at 60 mph.

At 8 a.m., Tropical Storm Beryl was centered more than 900 miles east of the Windward Islands. It’s moving quickly westward over the open waters of the central Atlantic Ocean.

Beryl will move into the eastern Caribbean Sea Monday.
