Tropical Storm Beryl has formed east of the Windward Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.The National Hurricane Center expects it to strengthen into a hurricane over the next few days.Previously known as Invest 95L and Tropical Depression Two, the system is located about 1,110 miles east-southeast of Barbados. Late Friday, Beryl was moving westward at 18 mph with wind gusts at 40 mph.
Environmental conditions appear generally conducive for additional development of this system, and a tropical depression could form by the middle of next week while it moves generally westward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic. The chance of formation over the next seven days is medium, at 40%. If this system were named before another disturbance in the Western Caribbean Sea , it would be called Chris.
