https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/?atlc#BerylOfficially Hurricane Beryl in the middle Atlantic at 10.6N 45.1W was designated with the 500 AM AST Fri Jul 06 2018 NHC reports.
Beryl has a 64Kt wind diameter of between 10 and 20 Nm surrounding a very tiny eye. She's about the smallest one I've ever heard of. Expected to strengthen somewhat, then was progged to have dissipated before reaching the Lesser Antilles; but now probably going to be at tropical storm strength, then with dissipation shortly thereafter.
These type storms often begin regenerating when they get halfway across the Caribbean. So given a possible future path taking Beryl's tropical wave remnants to the Yucatan, a hurricane threat in the Gulf of Mexico is certainly possible, IMO.
Just what we need around here, another Harvey (which had a similar path and genesis).
