The last one to have formed farthest east was the Trinidad hurricane of 1933. I know this doesn’t really sound like much but any weather enthusiasts will understand what this means. This doesn’t happen in June, not in this area. This is what we see in September, not now. Hurricane Beryl is also forecast to rapidly intensify into a major (Cat 3) by Sunday night or Monday morning. Key Messages: 1. Beryl is expected to be a dangerous major hurricane when it reaches the Windward Islands late Sunday night or Monday, bringing destructive hurricane-force winds and life-threatening storm surge. Hurricane Watch and Warnings are in effect for much of the Windward Islands. 2. Heavy rainfall and localized flooding is expected across the Windward Islands Sunday night and Monday. 3. Interests in the central and western Caribbean should monitor the progress of this system. Users are reminded that there is large uncertainty at days 4 and 5 and to not focus on the specific details of the track or intensity forecast.
