Monday 2 AM Advisory on Tropical Storm Beryl

…CENTER OF BERYL MOVING INLAND OVER NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA…

THE TROPICAL STORM WARNING HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED SOUTH OF FLAGLER
BEACH FLORIDA.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT…

A TROPICAL STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT FROM FLAGLER BEACH FLORIDA TO EDISTO BEACH SOUTH CAROLINA

DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK…

AT 200 AM EDT THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM BERYL WAS LOCATED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR AND SURFACE DATA NEAR LATITUDE 30.3 NORTH…LONGITUDE 81.6 WEST. BERYL IS MOVING
TOWARD THE WEST NEAR 8 MPH AND THIS MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT…BRINGING THE CENTER OF BERYL FARTHER INLAND OVER NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA. ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY…BERYL IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SLOWLY WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AND THEN TURN
NORTHEASTWARD OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA AND SOUTHEASTERN GEORGIA.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE DECREASED TO NEAR 65 MPH…WITH HIGHER GUSTS. BERYL WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS THE CENTER MOVES INLAND…AND IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION IN A DAY OR SO.

TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 115 MILES FROM THE CENTER. A WIND GUST OF 48 MPH  WAS RECENTLY REPORTED AT BRUNSWICK GEORGIA. A WIND GUST OF 40 MPH WAS RECENTLY REPORTED BY A NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE OBSERVING SITE IN FERNANDINA BEACH FLORIDA.

THE ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE BASED ON SURFACE OBSERVATIONS
IS 995 MB…29.38 INCHES.
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND…

WIND…TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE COAST WITHIN THE WARNING AREA AND WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD INLAND…ESPECIALLY NEAR AND NORTH OF THE CENTER OF BERYL OVERNIGHT AND
MONDAY. WIND GUSTS TO HURRICANE FORCE ARE STILL POSSIBLE OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA AND SOUTHEASTERN GEORGIA OVERNIGHT.

STORM SURGE…THE COMBINATION OF A STORM SURGE AND THE TIDE WILL CAUSE NORMALLY DRY AREAS NEAR THE COAST TO BE FLOODED BY RISING WATERS. THE WATER COULD REACH THE FOLLOWING DEPTHS ABOVE GROUND IF THE PEAK SURGE OCCURS AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE…GEORGIA AND NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA…2 TO 4 FT. THE DEEPEST WATER WILL OCCUR ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST NEAR AND TO THE NORTH OF THE LANDFALL LOCATION…WHERE THE SURGE WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY LARGE WAVES. SURGE-RELATED FLOODING DEPENDS ON THE RELATIVE TIMING OF THE SURGE AND THE TIDAL CYCLE…AND CAN VARY GREATLY OVER SHORT DISTANCES.

SURF…DANGEROUS SURF CONDITIONS…INCLUDING RIP CURRENTS…ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE COAST FROM NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA TO NORTH CAROLINA OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

RAINFALL…BERYL IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TOTAL RAIN ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES…WITH ISOLATED MAXIMUM AMOUNTS OF 12 INCHES…FROM NORTHERN FLORIDA THROUGH SOUTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA.

.WATCHES/WARNINGS…
A TROPICAL STORM WARNING CONTINUES FOR ALL OF VOLUSIA COUNTY.

A TROPICAL STORM WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE VOLUSIA COUNTY COASTAL WATERS OUT TO 60 NAUTICAL MILES.

ALTHOUGH TROPICAL STORM WATCHES OR WARNINGS ARE NOT IN EFFECT FOR LAKE…ORANGE…SEMINOLE…BREVARD AND OSCEOLA COUNTIES…STRONG WIND GUSTS…LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN…AND LIGHTNING…MAINLY IN A FEW PASSING SQUALLS…WILL IMPACT THESE COUNTIES OVERNIGHT AND INTO MONDAY MORNING.

THE ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 993 MB…29.32 INCHES.

.SITUATION OVERVIEW…
THE CENTER OF BERYL WILL VERY SOON FINISH CROSSING THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA COAST AND BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES FARTHER INLAND. THE WINDS HAVE ALREADY DECREASED WITHIN ITS THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT…
WHICH LIMITS THE POTENTIAL WIND IMPACTS FOR EAST FLORIDA. THE WIND THREAT OVER VOLUSIA COUNTY REMAINS LOW BUT STILL CONCERNING…AT LEAST UNTIL BERYL FULLY WEAKENS WELL INLAND. SUSTAINED WINDS WILL ONLY BE 10 TO 15 MPH…HOWEVER TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS ARE STILL POSSIBLE IN SQUALLS.

FOR LOCATIONS OUTSIDE OF VOLUSIA COUNTY…BERYL WILL CONTINUE TO DRAG A FEW RAINBANDS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT…WITH EMBEDDED CONVECTIVE STORMS AND SQUALLS PRODUCING WIND GUSTS OF 3O
TO 40 MPH.

OVER THE ADJACENT ATLANTIC…SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR TROPICAL STORM FORCE WERE OCCURRING NORTH OF THE VOLUSIA-BREVARD COUNTY LINE…WITH GUSTS OF 35 TO 40 KNOTS. WINDS WILL BE SLOWER TO DECREASE OVER THE ATLANTIC.

DANGEROUS SURF CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT LOCAL BEACHES OVERNIGHT INTO MEMORIAL DAY…WITH OVER 100 RESCUES HAVING BEEN REPORTED IN VOLUSIA COUNTY ALREADY THIS WEEKEND. ENTERING THE SURF IS NOT
ADVISED.

ON MEMORIAL DAY…BERYL MAY HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE INTENSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS SUPPORTING AN ELEVATED THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN…GUSTY WINDS…AND LIGHTNING. A
BRIEF TORNADO MAY NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION.

.PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…
BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A MEANS FOR RECEIVING WEATHER ALERTS OVERNIGHT AFTER YOU GO TO BED OR IF THE ELECTRICITY HAPPENS TO TEMPORARILY GO OUT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
