After making landfall in Grenada, Hurricane Beryl jumped from a Category 4 to a Category 5 hurricane Monday night with winds increasing to 160 mph.
Hurricane Beryl is expected to bring life-threatening winds and a storm surge to Jamaica on Wednesday, and hurricane hunter aircraft have reported little change in the storm's strength over the past few hours, according to an update issued Tuesday morning from the National Hurricane Center.
Beryl tore through the Windward Islands on Monday after making landfall on Grenada’s Carriacou Island as a Category 4 storm at 11:10 a.m., according to the hurricane center. The hurricane had 150 mph winds when its eye made landfall on Carriacou.
It is forecast to remain a powerful hurricane as it continues to move across the Caribbean Sea, and areas in Belize, the Yucatan Peninsula, Cuba and the southwestern Gulf of Mexico should continue to monitor its progress, the National Hurricane Center said.
