DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the center of Hurricane Beryl was located
near latitude 19.5 North, longitude 84.8 West. Beryl is moving
toward the west-northwest near 20 mph (31 km/h). A westward to west-
northwestward motion is expected during the next day or so, with the
center expected to make landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula early
Friday morning.  Beryl is expected to emerge over the southwestern
Gulf of Mexico Friday night and move northwestward toward
northeastern Mexico and southern Texas late in the weekend.

Maximum sustained winds are near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Slow weakening is forecast before the center makes landfall,
with rapid weakening expected while Beryl crosses the Yucatan
Peninsula.  Slow re-intensification is expected when Beryl moves
over the Gulf of Mexico.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 160
miles (260 km).  NOAA buoy 42056 over the northwestern Caribbean
recently reported a sustained wind of 56 mph (90 km/h) and a gust
of 65 mph (105 km/h)

The minimum central pressure is estimated to be 974 mb (28.77
inches).

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 on the Yucatan Peninsula overnight and on Friday.  Winds are
expected to first reach tropical storm strength during the next
few hours, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous.

Hurricane conditions are possible in the hurricane watch area along
the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula overnight.

Tropical storm conditions are expected in the tropical storm warning
area of the Yucatan Peninsula overnight into Friday.

Tropical storm conditions are possible in the tropical storm watch
area along portions of the coast of Belize by early Friday.

STORM SURGE: Storm surge could raise water levels by as much as 3 to
5 feet above ground level in areas of onshore winds along the east
coast of the Yucatan Peninsula within the hurricane warning area
and by as much as 1 to 3 feet above ground level along the west
coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in the tropical storm warning area.

Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and
destructive waves.

RAINFALL:  Beryl is expected to produce rainfall totals of 4 to 6
inches, with localized amounts of 10 inches, through Friday across
the Yucatan Peninsula. Scattered instances of flash flooding
are anticipated across the Yucatan Peninsula.  Rainfall will be
diminishing across the Cayman Islands this evening.

associated with Hurricane Beryl, please see the National Weather
Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at

SURF:  Large swells generated by Beryl are currently impacting
portions of the coast of Cuba, the Cayman Islands, and the
Yucatan Peninsula.  The swells are expected to reach eastern Mexico
and much of the Gulf Coast of the U.S. by late Friday. These swells
are expected to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  Please consult products from your local weather office.
