Tropical Storm Beryl, as forecasters initially dubbed it, could turn into a major Category 3+ storm, according to the Associated Press. A storm of this magnitude is uncharacteristic this early into hurricane season, according to Florida-based hurricane specialist Michael Lowry. Lowry told the Associated Press that there has only been a single-recorded hurricane that has formed in the Eastern Caribbean in June. Winds of 111 mph are expected to whip across the islands of Barbados, St. Lucia, Grenada, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where a hurricane warning has been issued. Winds of 65 mph have already been recorded as the hurricane moves toward land. Record-breaking water temperatures are reportedly fueling Beryl, Brian McNoldy, University of Miami tropical meteorology researcher, told the Associated Press.
