A hurricane watch is in effect for Barbados, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadine Islands, and Grenada.
Tropical Storm Beryl is expected to strengthen and become a «dangerous major hurricane» by Monday, bringing high winds and strong rain to the Caribbean, the National Hurricane Center said on Saturday.
The storm, which formed on Friday, is forecast to hit the Windward Islands late Sunday.
The NHC said the storm’s impact could be «destructive», and water levels could reach five to seven feet above normal tide levels.
