Description: A Hurricane Warning is in effect for Tobago. This means there is a higher potential for hurricane conditions, including sustained winds in excess of 118 km/h, within the warning area, in this case within the next 12 – 18 hours. As of 8 pm, Hurricane Beryl was located near 11.2°N 57.3°W, approximately 360km east of Tobago, moving west – northwest near 30 km/h. Tobago can expect a gradual deterioration in conditions, beginning with periods of showers and gusty winds in excess of 70km/h near midnight. From 11 pm tonight, there is a high chance (80%) of hazardous seas with large, battering waves. Mariners should expect wave heights to increase significantly, posing a danger to small craft, coastal and offshore activities. Strong currents and choppy seas will make navigation hazardous.
The next update will be at 11 pm today (Sunday 30th June 2024) or earlier if necessary.
