Hurricane Beryl, now a Category 4 storm, weakened slightly after hitting Caribbean islands as a Category 5. It caused deaths and extensive damage in Grenada and St. Vincent. Forecasters warn of life-threatening conditions for Jamaica with winds and storm surge, along with heavy rainfall. The storm, with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph, is expected to impact Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the Cayman Islands next. Residents in these areas are urged to prepare as Beryl moves westward. Additional weakening is anticipated, but Beryl is likely to remain a hurricane in the coming days.
