The eyewall of the "extremely dangerous" Hurricane Beryl was moving near southwestern Jamaica as a Category 4 storm on Wednesday evening after leaving a trail of destruction across the Caribbean and killing at least six people.

Hurricane Beryl is forecast to pass through Jamaica Wednesday as a Category 4 storm. Here's a look at its projected path.

There is potential for Beryl to turn northwest so residents in the U.S., especially those along the Texas coast, should monitor the hurricane closely.

The storm devastated several Caribbean islands this week and is expected to bring dangerous storm surge to Jamaica by Wednesday afternoon.

There is a chance that the hurricane will get drawn far enough north in the Gulf of Mexico to threaten the Texas coast by late Sunday or Monday.

Hurricane Beryl, now a Category 4 storm, is heading toward the Caribbean. See the projected path of the storm as it makes landfall.

A tropical storm or hurricane landfall close to Brownsville could mean drought-busting rain for South Texas or flooding in other parts of Texas.
