Hurricane Beryl intensified into a Category 4 hurricane on Monday morning, making history by rapidly intensifying from a tropical depression to a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher) in less than 48 hours. Residents across the region are preparing for Hurricane Beryl's onslaught by securing their homes and seeking shelter. St. Lucia implemented a nationwide shutdown ahead of Hurricane Beryl, and hurricane warnings remain in place for island nations like Barbados and St. Lucia.
Hurricane Beryl made the Caribbean region its next target after leaving the Atlantic, where it had become the second named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. The Category 4 hurricane is expected to impact Jamaica on Wednesday before hitting Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Thursday night or early Friday. The storm is not expected to directly impact Florida.
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is expected to remain busy or even hyperactive due to favorable conditions for tropical storm and hurricane formation. This has raised concerns among residents in the Caribbean and along the Gulf of Mexico, who are bracing for potential impacts from Hurricane Beryl and other storms that may form in the coming weeks.
In addition to Hurricane Beryl, Tropical Depression 3 formed over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico and is forecast to become a tropical storm as early as Sunday night. The Mexican government has issued a tropical storm warning from Cabo Rojo south to Puerto Veracruz, and the system is expected to produce rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches across parts of eastern Mexico into Monday, possibly totaling 15 inches. Mudslides are also possible in areas of higher terrain.
As Hurricane Beryl moves through the Caribbean, another tropical wave (96L) has a decent chance to become another named system and may become “Chris” sometime late this week. It is forecast to follow the path of Beryl, potentially becoming a hurricane and threatening the Lesser Antilles by next weekend.
Hurricane Beryl regained strength to Category 4 on Monday morning.
Despite expectations of weakening in central Caribbean around midweek, Hurricane Beryl is forecast to retain its hurricane status.

The author does not commit any formal or informal fallacies in the article. However, there are some instances of inflammatory rhetoric and a dichotomous depiction. The author describes Hurricane Beryl as an “extremely dangerous” Category 4 storm and highlights its potentially catastrophic impacts on the islands in the Caribbean. This language may create unnecessary fear or panic among readers. Additionally, when discussing the formation of a new tropical storm that may follow a similar path as Beryl, the author states that “these areas will be hardest hit today.” This statement implies a certainty about which areas will be affected and to what extent, which may not be accurate. The article also presents a dichotomous depiction of the Caribbean region as either being heavily impacted by the storm or not at all, ignoring the varying degrees of impact that different areas might experience. Despite these issues, there are no significant fallacies present in the article.
