▶ Hurricane Beryl plows toward the southeast Caribbean as residents are urged to finish preparations ahead of the Category 5 storm's expected landfall.
👉 U.S. forecasters say Hurricane Beryl remains an “impressive” Category 5 hurricane early Tuesday as it moves westward across the Caribbean, with Jamaica in its sights Wednesday.
In its latest report, the U.S. National Hurricane Center says Beryl was 1,120 kilometers east-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica and is producing maximum sustained winds of 270 kph. It is moving quickly to the west-northwest at an estimated 35 kph.
The hurricane center said satellite imagery shows a well-defined eye, expanding outflow. The eye was visible in video taken from the International Space Station as it passed over the storm.
On its present course, forecasters expect Beryl to bring life threatening wind and storm surge to Jamaica Wednesday, where hurricane warnings are in effect.
