DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Beryl was located
near latitude 10.9 North, longitude 48.9 West. Beryl is moving
toward the west near 14 mph (22 km/h).  A turn toward the
west-northwest and a faster forward speed are expected on Saturday,
with this motion continuing through early next week. On the forecast
track, the center of Beryl will approach the Lesser Antilles over
the weekend and cross the island chain late Sunday or Monday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Slight strengthening is forecast during the next day or so,
and Beryl could still be a hurricane when it reaches the Lesser
Antilles late Sunday or Monday.  Weakening is expected once Beryl
reaches the eastern Caribbean Sea on Monday, but the system may not
degenerate into an open trough until it reaches the vicinity of
Hispaniola and the central Caribbean Sea on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 10 miles (20 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles
(55 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.36 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm or hurricane conditions are possible within
the watch areas by late Sunday or Monday.

RAINFALL:  Beryl is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 2 to 4 inches through Sunday across the southern Leeward Islands
and northern Windward Islands, including Guadeloupe, Dominica,
Martinique, St. Lucia, and Barbados. Elsewhere across the northern
Leeward and southern Windward Islands, rainfall amounts of 2 inches
or less are expected.
