BLACKWELL: Now, while people across the Caribbean are preparing for that, you saw a Hurricane Beryl there, the first hurricane of the season.</s>GALLAGHER: Yes, if you were more anxious than the people in Puerto Rico where residents rushed to stores stocking up on food and water. Puerto Rico is still recovering from hurricanes Irma and Maria, devastated the island last year. Allison Chinchar joins us now from CNN Weather Center. And, did they have anything to worry about on the island, Allison?</s>CHINCHAR: Right. So while we don't expect a direct hit to take place on Puerto Rico, even some of those outer bands producing just general thunderstorms have the potential to knock out power. And for so many folks that they just got their power back, the last thing they really want is to lose the power again. Now, we take a look at Hurricane Beryl, again. Basically, out over open water at this point, that's what's allowed it to really increase in strength over the last few days but that's going to change as it starts to make its way off to the west. Now winds right now about 75 miles per hour. So, that's a low-end Category 1, hurricane. It is expected shortly after it crosses over the Lesser Antilles to weaken down into a tropical storm if not potentially before that point. Then, it will continue up and off to the north and west. Again, perhaps, maybe skirting along Puerto Rico, but we don't expect it this time to have a direct hit. Now, we do have hurricane watches, that's the pink color you see here. As well as tropical storm watches in effect for some of those islands there. One place we don't expect hurricane watches, the Carolina coast. We're keeping an eye on Tropical Depression 3. This one at this time is expected to move away from the States. The biggest concern there is going to be rip currents. If you have plans for the beach, just keep that in mind.</s>BLACKWELL: Allison Chinchar, thanks so much.</s>GALLAGHER: All right. Still ahead, we continue to monitor those live pictures coming out of Thailand where rescue operation for those trapped boys in that cave may happen, we're told soon.
