Is Hurricane Beryl going to hit Texas?
Hurricane Beryl is back to a Category 4 hurricane, after temporarily reaching Category 5 status on Tuesday with 160 mile per hour winds.
The hurricane made landfall in the Windward Islands on Monday morning and is moving west.
The storm is expected to make its way toward Jamaica on Wednesday and could make landfall in the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico by Friday.
Wind shear in the Caribbean is starting to weaken the storm as it moves toward land.
Computer models show that Beryl will move westward, towards Jamaica and the Cayman Islands on Wednesday.
The storm will move towards northern Mexico this weekend, after the Yucatán.
Beryl will likely drop to a tropical storm, but it could strengthen back to a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.
Water temperatures are in the upper 80s, providing plenty of fuel.

Beryl made history as the first June major hurricane to occur east of the Caribbean and is the strongest hurricane to ever hit the Windward Islands.
