UPDATES:
Tropical Depression 2 has formed, soon to be #Beryl. It will likely become a hurricane and hit the Lesser Antilles Monday. As it stands right now, it will probably continue moving westward towards the Yucatán/ Central America due to a heat dome over Florida & SE protecting us 1/ pic.twitter.com/Nz0NfkI2IL

Tropical Depression 2 has formed in central tropical Atlantic and forecast to become a #hurricane on 30 June at ~55°W. If forecast verifies, it would be farthest east that June #hurricane has formed in tropical Atlantic (south of 23.5°N) on record, breaking old record set in 1933 pic.twitter.com/ZMv4s18BBR

Breaking: we've got Tropical Storm #Beryl in the Atlantic. The 11 p.m. National Hurricane Center advisory will list it as a named storm.

It's still roughly 1,100 miles away from the Windward Islands. It will probably intensify into a #hurricane over the weekend. pic.twitter.com/xG3MLj96tg
New system riding over extremely warm Atlantic looks “100 percent” likely to develop into the next named storm, Beryl – barreling toward the Caribbean.
Very much appreciate the pun. Well done.
Not the depression I was expecting to be named first.
