Category 3 Hurricane Beryl passing Southwest of Grand Cayman Island; Tropical Storm Watch remains in effect for Northern Belize and Cayes

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Weather experts at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) say that the center of Category 3 Hurricane Beryl is passing southwest of the Grand Cayman Island this morning.

Beryl is expected to produce strong winds, dangerous storm surge, and damaging waves in the Cayman Islands.

As of this morning, Beryl was located some 385 miles East Southeast of Tulum, Mexico.

A tropical storm watch is in effect for the coast of Belize from Corozal to Belize City and San Pedro and Caye Caulker.

Beryl is moving toward the west-northwest near 20 mph (31 km/h).

A westward to west-northwestward motion is expected during the next day or two, taking the core of Beryl away from the Cayman Islands this morning and over the Yucatan Peninsula early Friday. Beryl is expected to emerge over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico Friday night and turn northwestward.

Weakening is forecast during the next day or two, though Beryl is forecast to remain a hurricane until it makes landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula.
