Overnight Tropical Storm Beryl gathered strength, and early on Friday morning it was declared the first hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season.

Beryl has become a hurricane before continuing on a westward path into an environment of much stronger vertical wind shear on Saturday, which should weaken the storm system and allow it to slowly degenerate again into a tropical storm as it heads toward Puerto Rico early next week.
