Hurricane Beryl weakened slightly on Wednesday morning to a Category 4 system as it is forecast to hit Jamaica later in the day, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), as it predicted that the storm’s remains will impact Texas next week.

In an 11 a.m. update, the NHC wrote that tropical storm conditions are spreading across Jamaica, and hurricane conditions are “expected during the next several hours” for the island nation. The NHC’s “cone of uncertainty” shows Beryl’s center will track slightly to the south of Jamaica.
