Again, moving off to the West Northwest at 22 miles per hour. You can see the heavy rain bands starting to affect portions of Puerto Rico, but starting to move in now into portions of the Dominican Republic. The good news is, we think this morning that Barrel's intensity has peaked. We've seen the central pressure rise a little bit on the latest data from the Hurricane Hunter aircraft. We've seen the peak winds come down just a tad. But regardless of what happens to the peak winds, we're expecting a powerful hurricane to be moving west northwestward across the Caribbean Sea. We're expecting the core of Beryl to pass just south of the South Coast of Haiti as we go through the day today and into tonight. We have a hurricane watch and a tropical storm warning in effect for the Southern Coast of Haiti, Tropical storm warning in effect for portions of the Southern Dominican Republic. So we could see hurricane conditions there. We are expecting tropical storm conditions there, expecting very heavy rainfall there, as well. We are most concerned about Jamaica, where we expecting the core of a major hurricane to pass near or over the island during the day tomorrow. So we have a hurricane warning in effect for Jamaica. Are expecting a storm surge of five to eight feet above normal tide levels on the coast of Jamaica, especially concerned in the areas around Kingston, those harbors and on the south side of the island, going to be a very, very significant wave action on top of that, as well, also expecting the possibility of life threatening flooding due to heavy rainfall and the potential for devastating impacts if the eye wall of barrel moves over the island. In terms of the timing of arrival of those tropical storm force winds, expecting them to begin tonight or later today and tonight along the Southern Coast of Hispaniola, reaching Jamaica early tomorrow morning. So, for folks in Jamaica, you have today to complete your preparations, follow any advice you've been given by local officials to get prepared or potential evacuations. You want to be in your safe place where you're going to ride out the storm by nightfall tonight and be prepared to stay in that location through the day on Wednesday. Cayman Islands, we're looking at the arrival of Tropical Storm Force Winds, Wednesday evening into Wednesday night. Western Cuba would be during the day, Thursday and Thursday evening in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. On the rainfall front, very concerned about heavy rainfall. This is a big hazard in the Caribbean, especially with the mountainous islands, the areas of topography here, we could be looking at isolated amounts as high as six to 8 " and portions of the Southwestern part of the Dominican Republic, Central Dominican Republic 6 ", isolated amounts as high as ten to 12 " along the Southwestern Peninsula of Haiti, Isolated amounts as high as 12 " in Jamaica as well with widespread totals of four to 8 ". This could cause life threatening flash floods and mudslides and some of these areas. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Here Is the Path ‘Dangerous’ Hurricane Beryl Is Expected to Take","description":"Hurricane Beryl roared through open waters on Tuesday as a monstrous Category 5 storm heading toward Jamaica after earlier making landfall in the southeast Caribbean, killing at least four people.
