Hurricane Beryl had a small eye earlier this morning but recent satellite images show that is no longer the case.
There is greater-than-usual uncertainty with the current intensity but for now the winds are estimated at 80 mph.
The storm is no threat to Florida.
It's located in the Atlantic Ocean and is a very compact hurricane. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 10 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles.
Mid-level ridging over the subtropical Atlantic is expected to steer Beryl on a west to west-northwest course through the weekend.
Since it's such a tiny hurricane, rapid changes in intensity, both up and down, are likely during the next couple of days. This makes the forecast challenging for the next several days.
However, the official forecast is for Beryl to still be a hurricane when it reaches the Lesser Antilles late Sunday or Monday. It's a very small hurricane and it is too early to determine exactly where those impacts will occur. Beyond that time it is forecast to weaken and dissipate.
Meanwhile, the low pressure we've been talking about southeast of North Carolina has become Tropical Depression 3.
The system is forecast to move slowly northwestward and stall or meander near the coast of North Carolina over the weekend.
