On the forecast track, the center of Beryl is expected to move across the Windward Islands Monday morning and across the southeastern and central Caribbean Sea late Monday through Wednesday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher gusts.

Potentially catastrophic wind damage is expected where the core of Beryl moves through portions of the Windward Islands, with the highest risk of the core in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada.
- Tropical storm conditions are expected in the tropical storm warning area starting tomorrow morning, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous.
- Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area starting tomorrow morning for Dominica, and by Tuesday afternoon for parts of the southern coast of Hispaniola.
