Sunset over Hurricane #Beryl
May just thread between Barbados & Tobago hopefully keeping hurricane force winds offshore.
Unfortunately the islands just West of there may take full force of wind/surge.
Hurricane Watch likely coming for Jamaica on Monday.
Could reach the Yucatan to end the week.

Note: slight wobbles will make all the difference on who sees what. Even just a few miles can make a massive difference in wind speeds received.

~Strong hurricanes wobble. Slight wobbles will make all the difference on who sees what.
~Hurricane winds only extend out 15miles(30km) from center(can change) 30Jun24 8aAST

~Another area South of Mexico with low 30% chance.
