Late on July 3, the NHC began tracking a vigorous tropical wave over the eastern tropical Atlantic for tropical cyclone development.
The wave quickly organized as it moved westward, and at 15:00 UTC on July 5, it organized into a tropical depression while over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean.
The tiny system continued to quickly consolidate, with a mid-level eye becoming apparent.
At 18:30 UTC, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Beryl while located at 10.3°N 42.3°W; this was farther southeast than any other Atlantic cyclone on record so early in the calendar year.
Due to its very small size, it was prone to very quick changes in intensity.
Indeed, overnight the cyclone  underwent a period of rapid intensification as a 5 nmi (9.3 km) pinhole eye became visible and became a hurricane at 09:00 UTC July 6 – the second earliest in the tropical Atlantic on record, behind the 1933 Trinidad hurricane, and the easternmost pre-August Atlantic hurricane on record to have formed from a tropical wave.

Throughout the day the strengthening leveled off, and the eye later disappeared from satellite view, though Beryl maintained its intensity.
By early on July 7, however, dry air began to infiltrate the core of the hurricane, causing its center to become exposed, and Beryl soon weakened back to a tropical storm.
This trend of rapid weakening continued as wind shear increased upon the system.
Beryl's structure continued to decay as the storm accelerated west-northwestward, and by late on July 8, Beryl had degenerated into an open trough while located just 60 miles northeast of Martinique.
The NHC opted to continue advisories, however, as it was impacting Dominica, discontinuing them afterwards.

The remnants of Beryl, while being monitored by the NHC for potential redevelopment, continued moving westward into the eastern Caribbean, eventually slowing and moving ashore in the Dominican Republic with gale-force winds.
Strong upper-level winds prevented any redevelopment of the remnants of Beryl for several days as it moved across the island and as it passed through the Bahamas into the Western Atlantic.
By July 13, however, conditions became slightly more favorable for redevelopment, and the remnants of Beryl spawned a new circulation near the associated thunderstorms, though the remnants remained too disorganized for redevelopment.
The circulation became well-defined early on July 14, and due to influence from a baroclinic trough, thunderstorms developed and persisted near the storm's center, with gale-force winds detected east of the center; after continued reorganization, Beryl was re-designated as a subtropical storm at 17:00 UTC that day, while located well off the East Coast of the United States.
However, the rejuvenated storm soon began to weaken as nearby dry air intruded and weakened showers and thunderstorms associated with the storm, and impinging northwesterly shear further served to remove thunderstorm activity.
By July 15, Beryl consisted mostly of a low to mid-level swirl of shallow clouds continuing on a northeastward course.
After lacking thunderstorm activity near the center for twelve hours, Beryl degenerated into a remnant low at 03:00 UTC on July 16.
Beryl's remnant low was subsequently absorbed into another extratropical storm over Newfoundland on the next day.
