A feeder band associated with Hurricane Beryl will bring showers and gusty winds up to storm force around 9 p.m. Sunday, says the Barbados Meteorological Services.

Hurricane Beryl is a category 4 system and a hurricane warning remains in effect for Barbados.

The centre of Beryl is expected to pass about 80 miles (130 km) south of Barbados early Monday morning.

At 8 p.m. Sunday, the eye was located near 11.2N 57.3W or about 320 km (200 miles) southeast of the island.

Maximum sustained winds are 130 MPH (215 Km/h). The system has slightly changed direction and slowed down to westnorthwestward at 18 MPH (30 km/h). The minimum central pressure remains at 958mb. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 km (30 miles) from the center and tropical storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 km (115 miles).

During the passage of Beryl storm-force winds gusting to hurricane force strength are extremely likely. Heavy rainfall with accumulations of one to three inches are anticipated which could cause flash-flooding.

Additionally, marine conditions are expected to significantly deteriorate tonight.

A hurricane warning is issued when sustained winds of 64 knots (74 mph/119kmh) or greater associated with a hurricane are forecast to affect Barbados within 36 hours.

The next update will be at 11 p.m. today. (PR/SAT)
