A tropical system has developed in the Atlantic, becoming the second of the season and potentially evolving into Tropical Storm Beryl, the first hurricane of the year. This early development could pose a rare threat to parts of the Caribbean as the system tracks westward.
The storm, currently known as Tropical Depression Two, is forecasted to impact the Lesser Antilles, a chain of islands between the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea, by the end of the weekend. While its exact path and intensity are still uncertain, it is expected to strengthen as it moves into the Caribbean Sea early next week.
