    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).

    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    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.

    For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding
    associated with Hurricane Beryl, please see the National Weather
    Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf

    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.
