SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Beryl has formed, with max winds of 40 mph and moving westward at 18 mph. It may develop into the first hurricane of the season due to favorable conditions like low wind shear and warm waters. Forecasts show the storm continuing west towards the Caribbean, potentially reaching Jamaica, but high pressure could block its path towards the Gulf of Mexico. Temperatures are currently in the 70s and 80s with high humidity, making it feel much hotter. Heat advisories are in effect, with temperatures expected to feel like 105-110°F this weekend. Some rain relief is possible, but heat will dominate.
