DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Beryl was located near latitude 10.4 North, longitude 51.2 West. Beryl is moving quickly toward the west near 20 mph (31 km/h). A continued quick westward to west-northwestward motion is expected during the next few days. On the forecast track, the center of Beryl is expected to move across the Windward Islands late Sunday night and Monday.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts. Rapid strengthening is forecast over the next day or so, and Beryl is expected to become a dangerous major hurricane before it reaches the Windward Islands.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 986 mb (29.12 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
Key messages for Beryl can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC.
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected in the hurricane warning area beginning Sunday night. Devastating wind damage is expected where the eyewall of Beryl moves through portions of the Windward Islands.
Tropical storm conditions are expected in the tropical storm warning area starting Sunday night, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous.
Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area starting Sunday night.
Wind speeds atop and on the windward sides of hills and mountains are often up to 30 percent stronger than the near-surface winds indicated in this advisory, and in some elevated locations could be even greater.
STORM SURGE: A life-threatening storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 5 to 7 feet above normal tide levels in areas of onshore flow near where Beryl makes landfall in the hurricane warning area. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.
RAINFALL: Hurricane Beryl is expected to produce rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches across Barbados and the Windward Islands Sunday night into Monday. This rainfall may cause flooding in vulnerable areas.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Hurricane Beryl, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf
SURF: Swells generated by Beryl are expected to reach the Windward and southern Leeward Islands by late Sunday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
NEXT ADVISORY
Next intermediate advisory at 200 AM AST. Next complete advisory at 500 AM AST.

Work Reform@lemmy.world•America’s Commute to Work Is Getting Longer and LongerEnglish
5·2 years agoGentrification: the process whereby the character of a poor urban area is changed by wealthier people moving in, improving housing, and attracting new businesses, typically displacing current inhabitants in the process.
It literally is gentrification. And yes they are NIMBYs too. It’s both. It’s the same coin.

Work Reform@lemmy.world•America’s Commute to Work Is Getting Longer and LongerEnglish
232·2 years agoPretty much. Gentrification in action. They’re pricing out workers who work these jobs and then the rich people who move in pitch a fit about how there’s long waits and “no service” and how “no one wants to work anymore.” You all did this to yourselves. You chased away the workers. If you have a problem with the environment you created, perhaps you should stop doing that or go work these “great” jobs yourselves?

16·2 years agoThere is no “God’s Law,” because there is no God. God is a figment of society’s imagination. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, ghosts, aliens, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster are all more real than “God.”
Also, we don’t have a state religion despite these fuckwads’ desperation for a christofascist theocracy. Can’t they just all fuck off to some uninhabited island and live out their stupidity there?

730·2 years agoWhere exactly did I say to vote for Trump?
My saying doing the same thing over and over and over was perhaps too vague. I meant we shouldn’t keep voting for Republicans AND Democrats and expecting them to fix things because neither have any interest in doing so. They only care about making themselves rich and their donors rich.

Keep on licking boots. That’ll fix things. You’ve been doing the same song and dance for 40+ years and what’s happened? The rich keep getting richer and everyone else keeps getting worse off. You’re not going to get the results you claim to want by doing the same thing over and over and over and over.

politics @lemmy.world•Biden: There is a place for Haley supporters in my campaignEnglish
25·2 years agoI respectively disagree. IMO, they’re centrists, Neither are communists nor socialists.
Both campaigned on being left. But what have their actions been since they got into office? Campaigning and in-office actions are not always the same.
In Bernie’s case he used to be left, but when Biden got in office he has bent the knee and been milquetoast centrist. And AOC is Pelosi 2.0. Doesn’t care about anything except making money and protecting her own image. She’s full of shit. In any other country she’d be right wing.


I’d just get a mouse that doesn’t have this bullshit before paying for this. I’ll buy used if needed. I’m not subscribing to a fucking mouse.
