Report 11 am:

At 11am on Tuesday, July 2, the center of Hurricane Beryl was located near latitude 15.3 north and longitude 68.9 west. Ie 365 km south of the Dominican Republic and 433 km southeast of Haiti. Beryl is moving west-northwest at nearly 22 mph (35 km/h), and this general movement is expected to continue until Wednesday, followed by a more westerly turn on Thursday. On the forecast track, Beryl's center will move rapidly across the central Caribbean Sea today and is expected to pass near Jamaica on Wednesday and the Cayman Islands on Thursday. The center is expected to approach Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Thursday evening.

Reports from Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate maximum sustained winds are near 160 mph (260 km/h) with higher gusts. Beryl is a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Weakening is forecast later today, but Beryl is still expected to be near major hurricane intensity as it moves toward the central Caribbean and passes near Jamaica on Wednesday and the Cayman Islands on Thursday. Further weakening is expected afterward, although Beryl is expected to remain a hurricane in the northwest Caribbean.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles (65 km) from the center and tropical storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km).

- A hurricane watch is now in effect on the southern coast of Haiti from the border with the Dominican Republic to Anse d'Hainault.

- A tropical storm warning is in effect for the southern coast of the Dominican Republic, from Punta Palenque westward to the border with Haiti.

- Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area along the southern coast of Hispaniola later today.

- Storm surge could raise water levels as much as 1 to 3 feet (30 to 90cm) above ground level in onshore wind areas along the southern coast of Hispaniola.

- Hurricane Beryl is expected to produce rainfall totals of 4 to 8 (10 to 20 cm) inches, with localized maxima of 12 inches (30 cm), across Jamaica and the southwestern Haitian Peninsula through late Wednesday. Beryl will also produce rainfall amounts of 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) with isolated amounts of 10 inches (25 cm) to the Barahona Peninsula, southwest of the Dominican Republic. Isolated totals of 6 inches (15 cm) or more are also expected over the mountainous terrain of the central Dominican Republic. This precipitation is likely to cause flash floods and mudslides.
