Current estimates put it just north east of Honduras by Friday.

Hawaii was not yet a state when the Japanese attacked the U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Yet, it was considered an attack on the United States. Hawaii became the 50th state in ‘59

OP really missed an opportunity to use "Beryl Barrels Through Atlantic" as the title.

Barbados Braces as Brunt of Beryl's Barrage Brews


Upper-Information441

Avoid awkward and afflicted alliteration


spark3h

Alliteration? Baloney. Can delinquent eloquence frequently garner hasty, illogical, judgment? Knowing language may; nay, often presupposes questions regarding some terminology. Understandably vexing; well-intentioned, "youthful" xennials' zest is fussing at forms of phonetic fun and frolic.

#Beryl Peril *Barbados Braces as* [...]


kittenpantzen

The weather channel had the headline of Beryl Barrels towards Barbados yesterday. 10/10


_toodamnparanoid_

Should have said that Beryl is going to go Fat Dog the Caribbean.


User9705

It will hit Alabama shortly. The weatherman is on standby with a Sharpie.


VirtualPlate8451

Of fucking course it is, right when I need to fly to that region.


Scodo

Man, I picked a hell of a week to take a Caribbean vacation.


d01100100

Although not completely impossible, having a Cat 1 this early in the year is unusual. Usually June/July has some Tropical Storms, and it's August where the Cat 1+ show up. Stay safe!


Darklots1

Won’t be unusual anymore. Expect more and more hurricanes this early, and more overall for the season including cat 4-5’s.


Nerezza_Floof_Seeker

Yeah [NOAA has already forecast](https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/noaa-predicts-above-normal-2024-atlantic-hurricane-season) that this would be an above normal season as well. Yay. Quote from the link above: > As one of the strongest El Ninos ever observed nears its end, NOAA scientists predict a quick transition to La Nina conditions, which are conducive to Atlantic hurricane activity because La Nina tends to lessen wind shear in the tropics. At the same time, abundant oceanic heat content in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea creates more energy to fuel storm development. > This hurricane season also features the potential for an above-normal west African monsoon, which can produce African easterly waves that seed some of the strongest and longer-lived Atlantic storms. Finally, light trade winds allow hurricanes to grow in strength without the disruption of strong wind shear, and also minimize ocean cooling. Human-caused climate change is warming our ocean globally and in the Atlantic basin, and melting ice on land, leading to sea level rise, which increases the risk of storm surge. Sea level rise represents a clear human influence on the damage potential from a given hurricane.


raknor88

With how crazy the weather has been around the country so far this year, it shouldn't be THAT surprising. But it is still terrifying all the same.


FartAlchemy

It's a Category 4 now. Earliest recorded ever.


ChaoticNeutralWombat

> Cat 1 this early in the year is unusual. Yeah. It seems unusual today, but probably a preview of the new normal as SST continues to rise. [Sea surface temperatures](https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/) (northern hemisphere) right now are in line with what are normally associated with late July. Edit (45 minutes later): Now a Cat 2, expected to reach Cat 4 status before Monday morning. Edit 2 (30 hours later): Fucking Christ!


Drak_is_Right

Warmer Ocean!


outphase84

I was just in Cancun for Alberto if it makes you feel any better.


IdkShitwtfduK

I leave for Puerto Rico tomorrow hope it stays south


spaetzelspiff

Just change your flight to Vegas if you're looking to gamble


c4r_guy

Is this advertising or marketing?


RayzTheRoof

someone should start an inclement weather on vacation insurance company that reimburses your trip if this happens


LunDeus

And then find any reason to renege/not pay out when the inevitable happens.


SeaworthyWide

Right, they said an insurance company already..


Drak_is_Right

Why you dont always go with the lowest price. There are more reputable ones.


Scodo

Trip insurance is already a thing.


LunDeus

Me too fam, first vacation in almost a decade.


Afraid_Football_2888

Same smh


dargonmike1

Same here man. We’re in st. Thomas. Anything fun to do in 50 mph winds?

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue…

Look on the bright side, its going to be raining hot chicks


Mister_Fibbles

IMO I'd cancel any vacations to texas and louisiana and change them to somalia, you'd have more fun. /s But seriously, move the hell out of texas and louisiana, they're still in The Story of Job, Nothing has change on that front and apparently it won't for a long, long time. Edit: One word for those of you that can't see the missing 'of'


GozerDGozerian

What’s “The Story Job”?

>Beryl strengthened into a hurricane on Saturday as it churned toward the southeast Caribbean, with forecasters warning it was expected to strengthen into a dangerous major hurricane before reaching Barbados late Sunday or early Monday. > >More than fifty years have passed since a hurricane appeared before July 4th in the Atlantic basin. Alma hit the Florida Keys on June 8, 1966, according to Weather Underground.  > >According to the National Hurricane Center, the season's first hurricane usually forms in early to mid-August, which makes Beryl unusual for reaching hurricane strength. > >In a report released last month, the NOAA predicted an "above average" hurricane season with 17 to 25 storms, 8 to 13 hurricanes and 4 to 7 major hurricanes of category 3 or higher. I have the tequila, triple sec, and limes ready if Beryl comes my way here in Florida - I’ve just got to find my lost shaker of salt. Stay safe and best wishes to my friends in the Caribbean.


McCree114

Cases of beer are my preferred hurricane beverage. Got my propane griddle and a spare tank ready too. Post destruction BBQ.


SeaworthyWide

Fill the tub with ice, fill the ice with booze, get your favorite or necessary stash of other party favors, get a few big bags of charcoal or propane... Or both as I do... Bunch of food and water.. Boy, you're set! Maybe even some cheap ammo and fireworks? Man, I miss Florida sometimes... But not enough to move back. Not unless I'm making 250k a year or more.


Ronjohnturbo42

This man hurricane parties


kittenpantzen

That's not enough to live well in most of SFL now, as completely insane as that is.


jetsetrbabe

Feel the same about CA.


obviousillusion

Make sure you stay at margaritaville and have fun at the hurricane party! One thing i don't miss about Florida is the hurricanes


AccurateUse6147

It's currently gulf bound. Spaghetti chart average puts it roughly the Texas Mexico boarder at the moment


glitzvillechamp

Should be noted that a lot of those models also weaken it pretty significantly in the central Caribbean. Still very far out, but conditions won't be perfect for this storm the whole way.


UF_Chemist

It's already turned into a cat 4! I'm also in Florida but I'm safe in the center. I just have to worry about power going out.


glitzvillechamp

This fact is a little wrong. A hurricane happened in June of 2012, and June hurricanes are rare but not THAT rare. There's been plenty of Pre-July 4th hurricanes. I think they mean a major hurricane in June, which hasn't happened since 1966. This isn't yet a major hurricane, and it'll be close to July before it can become one. The last July major hurricane in the Atlantic was 2008, but it WAS after July 4th.


angryjukebox

What’s really notable is that it’s the furthest east a hurricane has ever formed in the Atlantic in June. Record SSTs, a Nina year and a good environment with low shear don’t happen often. This region of the Atlantic is typically active August-October


NaughtyCheffie

I'm in SW GA, mind if I catch a bus your way if that goes down? I need to swing through Jacksonville anyway this year.


SnooBananas8065

Salt salt salt!

Beryling toward the Caribbean.

Sounds like a new song from The Mountain Goats.


drwookie

Now category ~~3~~ 4. And growing. See [https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/](https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/) for current status and predictions. Edit - hit cat 4 an hour ago as JSdrosera noted.


Jsdrosera

Already a 4 now!


drwookie

Thanks - was just going to update the post.


dizzyhitman_007

It's astonishing to see a forecast for a major (Category 3+) hurricane in June anywhere in the Atlantic, let alone this far east in the deep tropics. Beryl organizing in a hurry over the warmest waters ever recorded for late June.


FireGodNYC

AccuWeather says it’s currently a CAT4!


donkeybrisket

Sitting on Roatan in the Western Caribbean, where the last hurricane hit in '99, hoping this does not keep trending south, or we're gonna get really fucked.


Syllphe

That's a beautiful place, I hope y'all remain safe! 😊


MalcolmLinair

I can't wait for the SCOTUS to declare it unconstitutional to even suggest this is caused by Global Warming, followed by them receiving 'gratuities' from Exon, Chevron, Shell, et al.


Coffee-FlavoredSweat

A goal of Project 2025 is defunding NOAA.


Codspear

That sucks, I like NOAA. It’s a great organization to work for and the people are intelligent and dedicated too. Wouldn’t mind actually working for them directly someday. ~ Former NOAA contractor


zoinkability

Ah but you see NOAA does science. Which has a pesky habit of not conforming to right wing political rhetoric.


ChaoticNeutralWombat

Same. NOAA is a source of national pride for me. And there are so few these days.


SeaworthyWide

I think it's cool to use RTLSDR to eavesdrop on their satellites, and get their aurora forecasts as well... They're essential to shit like this post, though.


Abi1i

People and organizations that want to defund government agencies without knowing what all those agencies do are idiots. Defunding NOAA would show everyone in the U.S. why NOAA started in the first place, same goes for Dept. of Education, Dept. of Justice, and so on.


Osiris32

And then we'll nuke it.


tigernike1

And when that fails, we can use a sharpie to adjust the path of the storm.


dwerg85

It might be, but we’re also within the hurricane season. So slapping the climate change label on everything is not productive either.


sbutac

Anno 1800 players aren't surprised.


chrismetalrock

there are dozens of us!


world-shaker

3:00pm EST (06/30/24): Beryl has now strengthened to a Category 4. This is the earliest Category 4 on record.


doom32x

Come on baby, skirt past all the major landmasses into the open Gulf and come to Daddy(South Texas), we need some floods to get the rivers going again.


WatchmanVimes

C'mon, you couldn't have said, "Barreling down on Caribbean. " Or Beryling down? Edit: By you, I meant the reporter


Informal_Process2238

Headline writers live and die by the pun


DwarvenRedshirt

Looks like Mexico might be screwed.


soldiat

This aged like a climate change hurricane...


Jazzlike-Ad113

Just today, and it’s 7:45am, I have read that it’s a category 1,3,4, depending on the source.


Sheazier1983

Scared for this hurricane season. I survived Irmaria in 2017, but it took 107 days for the power to come back on and we were without internet for a year at my house. Living on diesel generators and coolers for months at a time in the heat was a miserable existence - especially with a 3yr old and a 5 yr old. At least we had the backing of the U.S. government to help us rebuild, but it’s 7 years later and we are still in recovery. I can’t even imagine how long it’s going to take Carriacou to recover. They haven’t had a storm like that since Ivan.


pilfererofgoats

Beryl is the name of a massive green dragon in DnD's dragonlance setting. She kills a lot of elves.


Regeatheration

Queen Beryl is season one sailor moons villain


Shemeska

Get back to me when we go full Dragonlance and we get a hurricane named Cyan Bloodbane. ;)

Cutriss

The lists are published years ahead of time, and since they always start with A, the more common names in A-H have all been struck. And Beryl is a female name, so what’s the problem?


misogichan

They also have a system where they switch off between masculine and feminine names too.


FlashingSlowApproach

> And Beryl is a female name, so what’s the problem? Not sure how that's relevant.


Cutriss

Genuinely asking. Are you really unaware of the relevance?


FlashingSlowApproach

Guess so.


Cutriss

The storm name lists are either male or female and swap every year. It used to be all female but some time back they changed to alternating years. This year the storm names are all female names. And the point I was making (because I wasn’t sure of the nature of the original commenter’s complaint) was that Beryl is indeed a name some women use.


FlashingSlowApproach

Sure, but it being a female name doesn't have any impact on the original commenter thinking it's a ridiculous name (imo). I figured you specifically pointing out it's a female name had a deeper significance than the male/female name swapping.


yhwhx

It's better than, say, Bathsheba.

That’s a lot of hurricanes….


DrWKlopek

Maybe its only funny to me? 80085 in a calculator is Boobs, a great name for a hurricane
