Hurricane Beryl, a dangerous Category 3 storm, is expected to slam move across the Windward Islands this morning, endangering several island communities with life-threatening storm surge, violent winds and flash flooding.

The hurricane is moving west just south of Barbados and is expected to track across the Windward Islands Monday morning, with St. Vincent, the Grenadines and Grenada most at risk of being struck by the core of the storm.

Beryl’s arrival marks an exceptionally early – and likely devastating – start to the Atlantic hurricane season. It reached Category 4 strength on Sunday, making it the earliest storm of such strength on record in the Atlantic Ocean and the only Category 4 storm ever recorded in the month of June. By early Monday, the storm had reduced slightly to a Category 3.
