A U.S. Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft found that former Tropical Storm Helene had strengthened to a hurricane on Wednesday morning. The inner end of a rainband wrapped around the northern, western and southern sides of the center of Helene’s circulation. An eye appeared to be forming at the center of Hellene. Bands of showers and thunderstorms were revolving around the core of Hurricane Helene. Storms near the core generated strong upper level divergence that pumped mass away from the hurricane. The removal of mass caused the surface pressure to decrease.

Winds to hurricane force extended out 25 miles (40 km) from the center of Hurricane Helene. Winds to tropical storm force extended out 275 miles (445 km) in the eastern side of Helene’s circulation. Winds to tropical storm force extended out 105 miles (165 km) in the eastern side of Hurricane Helene.

Hurricane Helene will move through an environment favorable for intensification during the next 24 hours. Helene will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 30°C. It will move under the middle of an upper level ridge over the western Gulf of Mexico and the northwestern Caribbean Sea. The upper level winds are weak near the middle of the ridge and there will be little vertical wind shear. Hurricane Helene will intensify during the next 24 hours. Helene is likely to strengthen to a major hurricane by Thursday afternoon. Helene could intensify rapidly after an inner core with an eye and an eyewall is fully developed.

Hurricane Helene will move around the western end of a high pressure system over the western Atlantic Ocean. The high pressure system will steer Helene toward the north during the next 24 hours. On its anticipated track, Hurricane Helene will approach northern Florida on Thursday afternoon. Helene is likely to be a major hurricane when it reaches the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.

Hurricane Helene is likely to be a major hurricane when it approaches northern Florida on Thursday. Helene will bring strong winds and heavy rain to northern Florida. Heavy rain is likely to cause floods.

At 8:00 a.m. EDT on Friday the center of Hurricane Beryl was located at latitude 20.4°N and longitude 87.6°W which put the center about 15 miles (25 km) north-northwest of Tulum, Mexico. Beryl was moving toward the west-northwest at 15 m.p.h. (24 km/h). The maximum sustained wind speed was 100 m.p.h. (160 km/h) and there were wind gusts to 120 m.p.h. (195 km/h). The minimum surface pressure was 980 mb.

A Hurricane Warning was in effect for the portion of the coast from Puerto Costa Maya to Cancun, Mexico. A Hurricane Warning was also in effect for Cozumel.

A Hurricane Watch was in effect for portion of the coast from Cabo Catoche to Cancun, Mexico. A Hurricane Watch was also in effect for the portion of the coast from Puerto Costa Maya to Chetumal, Mexico.

A Tropical Storm Warning was in effect for the portion of the coast from Campeche to Cancun, Mexico. A Tropical Storm Warning was also in effect for the portion of the coast from Puerto Costa Maya to Chetumal, Mexico.

The center of Hurricane Beryl made landfall on the coast of Mexico near Tulum on Friday morning. Beryl was a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale at the time of landfall. A small circular eye was present at the center of Beryl’s circulation. The eye was surrounded by a broken ring of thunderstorms and the strongest winds were occurring in that ring of storms. Bands of thunderstorms were revolving around the core of Hurricane Beryl. Storms near the core of Beryl’s circulation generated upper level divergence that pumped mass away from the hurricane.

The size of the circulation around Hurricane Beryl was small. Winds to hurricane force extended out 30 miles (50 km) from the center of Beryl’s circulation. Winds to tropical storm force extended out 105 miles (165 km) from the center of Hurricane Beryl.

The Hurricane Intensity Index (HII) for Hurricane Beryl was 16.5. The Hurricane Size Index (HSI) was 9.3 and the Hurricane Wind Intensity Size Index (HWISI) was 25.8. Hurricane Beryl was similar in size and intensity to Hurricane Idalia when Idalia hit Florida in 2023.

Hurricane Beryl will move around the southern side of a high pressure system that extends over the western Atlantic Ocean and southeastern U.S. The high pressure system will steer Beryl toward the west-northwest during the next 24 hours. On its anticipated track, the center of Hurricane Beryl will move across the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula during the rest of Friday.

Hurricane Beryl will bring strong winds and locally heavy rain to the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula. Strong winds and heavy rain will occur in Quintana Roo and Yucatan. Beryl is capable of causing serious damage. Heavy rain is likely to cause floods in some locations. Hurricane Beryl could cause a storm surge of up to 10 feet (3 meters) along the portion of the coast north of Tulum.

Hurricane Beryl will weaken as it moves across the Yucatan Peninsula. Beryl will likely weaken to a tropical storm while it is over the Yucatan. Hurricane Beryl will move over the western Gulf of Mexico during the weekend. Beryl will move into an environment somewhat favorable for intensification when it reaches the Gulf of Mexico. Beryl will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 29°C. It will move under the eastern part of an upper level low over the western Gulf of Mexico. The upper level low will produce southerly winds that will blow toward the top of Beryl’s circulation. Those winds will cause some vertical wind shear. The wind shear will inhibit intensification, but the shear may not be enough to prevent strengthening. Beryl could could intensify back to a hurricane when it moves over the Gulf of Mexico.

Hurricane Beryl will move more toward the northwest during the weekend. Beryl could approach the coast of Texas on Sunday. Watches may be issued for the coast later on Friday or on Saturday.

Hurricane Beryl Approaches the Yucatan

Hurricane Beryl was approaching the Yucatan Peninsula on Thursday evening. At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Thursday the center of Hurricane Beryl was located at latitude 19.6°N and longitude 85.5°W which put the center about 135 miles (220 km) east-southeast of Tulum, Mexico. Beryl was moving toward the west at 16 m.p.h. (26 km/h). The maximum sustained wind speed was 115 m.p.h. (185 km/h) and there were wind gusts to 135 m.p.h. (220 km/h). The minimum surface pressure was 964 mb.

A Hurricane Warning was in effect for the portion of the coast from Puerto Costa Maya to Cancun, Mexico. A Hurricane Warning was also in effect for Cozumel.

A Tropical Storm Watch was in effect for the portion of the coast from Chetumal, Mexico to Belize City, Belize.

After weakening earlier on Thursday, a U.S. Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft found that Hurricane Beryl had strengthened back to a major hurricane on Thursday evening. The reconnaissance plane found an eye with a diameter of 14 miles (22 km) was at the center of Beryl’s circulation. The eye was surrounded by a broken ring of thunderstorms and the strongest winds were occurring in that ring of storms. Bands of thunderstorms were revolving around the core of Hurricane Beryl. Storms near the core of Beryl’s circulation generated more upper level divergence that pumped mass away from the hurricane. The increase in upper level divergence caused the surface pressure to decrease again.

The size of the circulation around Hurricane Beryl decreased on Thursday. Winds to hurricane force extended out 30 miles (50 km) from the center of Beryl’s circulation. Winds to tropical storm force extended out 140 miles (225 km) from the center of Hurricane Beryl.

The Hurricane Intensity Index (HII) for Hurricane Beryl was 20.6. The Hurricane Size Index (HSI) was 9.8 and the Hurricane Wind Intensity Size Index (HWISI) was 30.4. Hurricane Beryl was similar in size and intensity to Hurricane Sally when Sally hit Alabama in 2020.

Hurricane Beryl will move through an environment that will be somewhat favorable for intensification during the next few hours. Beryl will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 29°C. It will move under the southeastern part of an upper level low over Gulf of Mexico. The upper level low will produce westerly winds that will blow toward the top of Beryl’s circulation. Those winds will cause some vertical wind shear. The wind shear will inhibit intensification, but the shear may not be enough to prevent strengthening Hurricane Beryl could intensify during the next few hours.

Hurricane Beryl will be able to cause regional major damage when it reaches the Yucatan Peninsula. Beryl will bring strong winds and heavy rain to the Yucatan. Widespread electricity outages are likely. Heavy rain is likely to cause floods in some locations. Hurricane Beryl could also cause a storm surge of up to 10 feet (3 meters) where the wind blows the water toward the coast.

Hurricane Beryl Buffets the Cayman Islands

Hurricane Beryl buffeted the Cayman Islands on Thursday morning. At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Thursday the center of Hurricane Beryl was located at latitude 19.0°N and longitude 82.6°W which put the center about 95 miles (150 km) west-southwest of Grand Cayman. Beryl was moving toward the west-northwest at 18 m.p.h. (30 km/h). The maximum sustained wind speed was 115 m.p.h. (185 km/h) and there were wind gusts to 135 m.p.h. (220 km/h). The minimum surface pressure was 971 mb.

Hurricane Warnings were in effect for Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. A Hurricane Warning was also in effect for the portion of the coast from Puerto Costa Maya to Cancun, Mexico. A Hurricane Warning was in effect for Cozumel.

A Tropical Storm Watch was in effect for the portion of the coast from Chetumal, Mexico to Belize City, Belize.

Hurricane Beryl buffeted the Cayman Islands with wind and rain on Thursday morning. The core of Beryl’s circulation passed south of Grand Cayman. So, the strongest winds and heaviest rain remained south of the Cayman Islands. A weather station at Owen Roberts International Airport in Grand Cayman (MWCR) reported a sustained wind speed of 44 m.p.h. (71 km/h) and a wind gust of 54 m.p.h. (87 km/h).

An upper level low over the Gulf of Mexico was producing westerly winds that were blowing toward the top of Hurricane Beryl. Those winds were also causing moderate vertical wind shear. The wind shear was affecting the structure of Hurricane Beryl. An eye with a diameter of 23 miles (37 km) was at the center of Beryl’s circulation. The eye was surrounded by a broken ring of thunderstorms and the strongest winds were occurring in that ring of storm. Thunderstorms were also occurring in bands in the northern and eastern parts of Hurricane Beryl. Bands in the southern and western parts of Beryl’s circulation consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds. The westerly winds in the upper levels were inhibiting the divergence to the west of Hurricane Beryl. Since the removal of mass was less than the inflow of mass in the lower levels of the atmosphere, the surface pressure was increasing slowly.

Even though Hurricane Beryl was weaker, Beryl was still a major hurricane. The circulation around Hurricane Beryl was a little smaller on Thursday morning. Winds to hurricane force extended out 30 miles (50 km) from the center of Beryl’s circulation. Winds to tropical storm force extended out 160 miles (260 km) from the center of Hurricane Beryl.

The Hurricane Intensity Index (HII) for Hurricane Beryl was 20.6. The Hurricane Size Index (HSI) was 10.6 and the Hurricane Wind Intensity Size Index (HWISI) was 31.0. Hurricane Beryl was similar in size and intensity to Hurricane Sally when Sally hit Alabama in 2020.

Hurricane Beryl will move through an environment that will only marginally favorable for intensification during the next 24 hours. Beryl will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 29°C. It will move under the southeastern part of an upper level low over Gulf of Mexico and Northwestern Caribbean Sea. The upper level low will produce westerly winds that will blow toward the top of Beryl’s circulation. Those winds will also moderate vertical wind shear. The wind shear is likely to cause Hurricane Beryl to continue to weaken unless the upper level winds weaken.

Hurricane Beryl is likely to still be a hurricane when it reaches the Yucatan Peninsula. Beryl will bring strong winds and heavy rain to the Yucatan. Heavy rain is likely to cause floods in some locations. Hurricane Beryl could also cause a storm surge of up to 7 feet (2 meters) where the wind blows the water toward the coast.
