Extended-range Forecast for Beryl Does Not Rule Out Northwest Gulf of Mexico

The most confident forecast is a potential north turn (41.7%) while the second-most likely track is a continued due west course (37.9%). The least likely track is across the northern Yucatan Peninsula and eventually toward Texas (20.4%).
